Samsung Galaxy Tab

Unlike most Android manufacturers, Samsung seems intent on retaining its strategy to manufacture hundreds of variants of devices that vary in the tiniest of manners. After creating something like a gazillion tabets in the 7-to-9 inch range, they seem to be interested in testing the upper limit on tablet sizes if the rumors of the [...]

There’s a new sheriff in town according to Flurry, an analytics company tracking tens of thousands of Android applications.

Just yesterday Samsung gave us a glimmer of hope that their 2010 flagship devices – the Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab – could get Ice Cream Sandwich as they went back to reevaluate the feasibility of the task. With TouchWiz in the way, it certainly won’t seem as easy as we’d hope considering these devices [...]

The folks at Samsung first denied original Galaxy Tab and Galaxy S users a taste of Ice Cream Sandwich and, as you might imagine, it created quite the uproar.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab attempted to do what no other tablet would: take on the iPad head-to-head. That first 7-inch offering didn’t topple Apple’s place atop the Tablet heap, but its release marked the beginning of the onslaught of Android tablets from all manufacturers that we see today. Samsung has since followed up that noble [...]

While this is far from everyone’s most wanted tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab could be a nice device for those who enjoy simplicity and who don’t want to spend half a paycheck on today’s monsters.

Samsung will soon begin production of a new 7-inch version of the Super AMOLED display, according to Korean site etnews. The high resolution display will sport 1024 x 768 pixels using the same technology behind the gorgeous screen found in several of Samsung’s smartphones. This 7-inch Super AMOLED display, however, has only one likely destination: [...]

If you’re the sort of person who doesn’t find a rousing game of baseball, copious amounts of beer and food, and the company of a few good friends enough to occupy over the course of nine innings, then T-Mobile has you covered. The carrier is launching a tablet rental program in conjunction with the Los [...]

A new leak is giving us a timeline of when Bell Canada subscribers can expect Gingerbread to arrive on several devices. The Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Incredible S, HTC Desire Z, and Motorola Atrix are all scheduled to receive the update to Android 2.3 this summer, though only estimated time frames are given. Perhaps that’s [...]

The original Samsung Galaxy Tab might not have the hardware to stack up against the newly released Galaxy Tab 10.1, but thanks to an update rolling out today at least one carrier-branded version of the 7-inch slate will get a fresher build of Android that might restore some of its appeal. It isn’t the tablet-specific [...]

Taco Bell, Pepsi, and Samsung are teaming up to giveaway the Samsung Galaxy Tab as part of a text-in-to-win promotion. Unfortunately, they aren’t giving away the brand new Galaxy Tab 10.1, but rather the original 7-inch Galaxy Tab. All you have to do is guzzle down a large fountain drink. Actually, you just need to [...]

It’ll be build number EF17 and aside from bringing you up to 2.3, it brings support for HD Bluetooth. It’s [...]

This piece of news has been floating around since this morning and I’ve been spending time trying to figure out more details. Long story short? Samsung has committed to delivering Android 2.3 to “most” of their Galaxy phones, including phones from the high-end Galaxy S series down to the budget offerings such as the Galaxy [...]

After hearing news that folks in Italy were receiving the Gingerbread update for the original Samsung Galaxy Tab, XDA set out to bring it to more people. The build number is JQ1 and should be completely stock. Fret not about that last part, though, as they have already achieved root and are working to unlock [...]

When I totally panned the HTC Flyer for running Android 2.3 upon announcement, I was met with a boat load of criticism that the main attraction for the tablet was its use of the stylus complete with custom software. I stand firm on the complete initial disappointment of Android 2.3 but the comments regarding the [...]

As was announced last week, an update is now rolling out to the Verizon iteration of the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Samsung said it’d be here yesterday, and sure enough the Samsung Galaxy Tab WiFi (7-inch) is up for sale at several retailers, including Circuit City.
