By Samsung isn’t calling it the Galaxy Tab II, but you could definitely think of it that way. While they are introducing it as a complimentary product to the 7-inch Galaxy Tab currently available, the Tab 10.1’s upgraded hardware and Android 3.0 Honeycomb software make it easily the more appealing of the two. Thankfully, Samsung left Google’s awesomely designed Honeycomb interface untouched. No TouchWiz is in sight. On one hand, this means a great tablet experience. On the other, it means this tablet feels almost no different than the Motorola XOOM with it’s dual-core processor, rear and front cameras, and similar stylings.
While the build quality of the tablet is typically Samsung (read: cheap and plastic-y), it runs quick and offers a great experience. We won’t rehash the aspects of Honeycomb that we loved (especially the tabbed browsing experience), but the version we checked out still had its fair share of bugs. Pricing will be key on whether this is a hit because it is competing on hardware alone, something that doesn’t do a great job of differentiating itself.
Being made of plastic does this make it cheaper?
When will this device on the market?
Tell us what the CPU is
Honeycomb is Sick!!
Thanks for the video you supplied.
What about navigation ?
At first sight I thought it was running mirror’s Edge….*Sad face*
No GPS?!
This will be the best tablet of the year….hands down. It will blow away the xoom.
I never thought that one day we would be complaining about there being to many similar stock devices. I don’t want to give the impression to the manufacturers that I like their stupid skins.
If they can keep a 10.1 inch tablet, dual processor and running honeycomb at sub $500 I think will fly off the shelves. The idea of $800+ better come with some fancy additions. Regardless they better start selling the darn things.
WHY DIDN’T YOU PUT A MICRO-USB ON IT … AND HDMI … WHY? WHHHHY? WHY YOU DO THIS TO US?
