New Samsung galaxy tab

It seems like Samsung has taken the ipad2 launch seriously resulting in the release of two new Samsung tablets; the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and Galaxy Tab 10.1 with a gap of just few weeks. The new tabs are impressively thinner (measuring just .33-inches thick) with a lot of specs. They will be first ones using Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) OS.  The models aren’t final but according to Samsung the 10.1 will weigh 1.31 pounds and the 8.9 just 1.03 pounds.

Internally there will be 1GHz dual-core processors with a 6000mAH battery and  16GB of storage for  8.9 and 6860mAH cell and both 16GB and 32GB storage for 10.1 (with both having micro SD slot). Both are said to provide 10 hours of video playback. Both include the same array of cameras which includes a 3 megapixel shooter with an LED flash on the back and a 2 megapixel lens on the front.

It was said that Samsung was planning to start adding its own software on top of Honeycomb, but TouchWiz UX actually adds a bit to the Honeycomb experience. Although there is a Honeycomb App launcher available, there is an additional Mini Apps Tray which hides on the bottom of the screen and helps in quick launch of apps. No one is sure why there is a need for such an additional launcher.

The multitasking abilities have been improved by TouchWiz with LivePanel which continuously refresh real time content and rich widgets delivering instant and relevant information.  Five different screens can be viewed at the same time with the help of Multiscreen Scrolling with a 5GB RAM; further  improving Multitasking abilities of the tabs.
These tabs match the features of other Android tabs with a built-in GPS, support for Adobe Flash in the browser (you still have to download it on your own), 1290 x 800 screen resolutions, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi etc.

The hardware includes all the latest sensing devices like Gyroscope, Accelerometer, Ambient light sensor plus a compass. With the four-way motion sensors, the Samsung Galaxy Tab responds faster and more accurately.

The new Samsung tablets are far superior in design and specs to the already available tabs. The Tab 10.1 is now the thinnest tablet in the market with a better battery life and trim dimensions.
