It’s official: the Samsung 10.1-inch tablet just dropped at MWC complete with a Dual-Core Tegra 2 processor and Honeycomb on board. The device supports HSPA+ (so expect it on T-Mo or AT&T on our shores) and an 8-megapixel rear camera. We’ll have hands-on, but if the smiles of the ladies above is any indication, it must be a lot of fun. → Read More
The Galaxy Tab entered 2011 as one of the more worthwhile tablets on the market. It’s rumored that Samsung, wanting to stay competitive against growing tablet offerings, will release a 10-inch version of the Tab at the Mobile World Congress on Sunday. The new tablet will run Honeycomb: Android’s OS optimized for tablets.
Samsung currently offers the Tab as a 7-inch tablet; a 10-inch will be… → Read More
Samsung just can’t get ahead. First there was the little miscommunication concerning Galaxy Tab sales numbers which related to distributors and not consumers. Then a report hit stating that the Galaxy Tab was suffering high return rates. Samsung PR is back again, telling everyone to hold their roll. That report isn’t true. → Read More
The Samsung Galaxy Tab saga continues! Okay, so first, the word was that Samsung sold 2 million Galaxy Tabs since launch. But that was to distributors and resellers, not to consumers as that numbers was “quite small.” Now Samsung is saying that it wasn’t “quite small” but rather “quite smooth.” Sigh. I don’t care anymore and it doesn’t seem… → Read More
I had a premonition about this when the previous announcements of Galaxy Tab sales seemed unclear over whether the one million and two million figures were units sold to consumers, or units shipped to distributors. As it turns out, it’s the latter. So how many did they actually sell to people?
Samsung didn’t give any figures, but when a company describes sales of a flagship product as “quite… → Read More
Two million! Good for Samsung! Although I can’t say I’d advise anyone to buy one of these devices, the Galaxy Tab probably was the best (if not the most affordable) of the 2010 stopgap generation of tablets. The sales of the iPad dwarf this, of course (nearly 8 million in the same period), but hey, like they say, first is worst, second is best, and third is… HP, I guess. → Read More
Get thee to the T-Moblery. The Samsung Galaxy Tab now costs $249 after a $50 rebate. Rumors of this price drop came yesterday but the tablet is available now online and in stores. Considering this is my favorite Android tablet, it’s worth a second look if you’re in the market. → Read More
Sprint has only had the Samsung Galaxy Tab out since November 14th, yet is already slashing its price. Perhaps the huge amount of tablets announced at CES has something to do with the price adjustment. That or the fact that when Honeycomb comes out, the Tab will be obsolete. Besides it’s not that much to make. → Read More
Oh, ruinous day. The tablet-lover’s great white hope, the RIM Playbook is apparently getting “just a few hours” of battery life, suggesting it is a bit more power-hungry than the 6 hour GalTab and the 10 hour iPad. While this is obviously based on non-final hardware, the chance that the Playbook will hit two hours or less of life is pretty bad, especially considering this is supposed to be the… → Read More
A Samsung Galaxy Tab commercial made by Ladeson Productions. It’s not from Samsung, but it should be. Worlds better than any of the official video spots. → Read More
Some French folks heard a rumor about what appears to be some sort of Samsung Tablet/PC mash-up called the Galaxy Tab Gloria, a 10-inch device with slide down keyboard. While I’m sure that naming your tablet after either a truck-stop waitress or Van Morrison’s personal spank bank victim is a good idea, but I’m not in marketing. → Read More
Well look at that! Samsung just sold 1 million units, which isn’t too shabby. We liked the Gal Tab plenty, so it’s good that it’s gaining some traction. Samsung hopes to sell at least 1.5 million by the end of the year, a noble goal. via Daum via UnwiredReview → Read More
If there’s a special someone in your life that’s into smartphones as much as you are, then you should have a gander at this:
Starting this Black Friday, T-mobile are including their entire line of Android devices (including the Galaxy Tab), as well as the WinPho7-powered behemoth that is the HD7, in a buy-one-get-one-free promotion.
Jump on past the break for all the grisly details. → Read More
While it’s no 1 million iPads in one month, Samsung has sold 600,000 Galaxy Tabs in its first 30 days, a noble effort. I’m a fan of the device – it’s a little thick for my taste, especially with the 7-inch screen, but it’s very sturdy and probably one of the best Android tablets out there – so I’m glad they’re selling at least half a million this… → Read More
What’s inside a Samsung Galaxy Tab? Not snips, snails, or puppy dog tails. Instead you fine a large battery, an ARM A8 Hummingbird processor, and all the build quality of an Apple product. After pulling off the screen, iFixIt got to the guts fairly quickly and they had a bit to say about the reparability and processing power. → Read More

Android users rejoice! The same excellent operating system and interface you love in your phone is now housed in a stout and sturdy 7-inch case. Is it an iPad replacement? Potentially, but you’re going to have to overlook some glaring problems. → Read More
This video needs context. Sure, the Gorilla Glass covering the screen on the Samsung Galaxy Tab is probably tough stuff, but I’m not sure simply surviving a CO2 BB is a testament to its strength. Greg should lend his Steve Wozniak-signed iPad to science and let me shoot some BBs at it. Otherwise this video is just dude wasting valuable Internet space. We need science! → Read More
A detailed teardown by iSuppli has shown that Samsung’s much-hyped Galaxy Tab has a total cost to manufacture of about $200 — $214.57, to be precise. Comparisons to the iPad (estimated at $260 to make) are inevitable, so let’s just get on with it. → Read More
Though they’re the 6th largest carrier in the US, U.S. Cellular isn’t really known for offering brand spankin’ new mobile technology. They’ve always had plenty of phones, mind you — they just tended to go for phones that were perhaps a bit older, or a bit less flashy. That all started to change back in April, when U.S. Cellular announced that they were getting the HTC… → Read More
This is a quick one: The T-Mobile variant of the Galaxy Tab will hit on November 10th. Price? $400 on contract just like Sprint. There’s also a $35 activation fee and $200 ETF so that’s fun. → Read More
Chances are you already have a tablet on your wish list whether it be the iPad, Galaxy Tab, or even the Dell Streak. But if you don’t, the infograph after the jump will help you figure out what fanboy club you need to join. → Read More
Verizon will soon be a one-stop shop for all your tablet needs. Come November 11th, the wireless carrier will be selling the Galaxy Tab alongside the iPad. The only thing is, the Galaxy Tab is a bit more expensive at $600 without any sort of subsidy and doesn’t come with a MiFi. But hey, maybe you have and Android tattooed on the underside of wrist and would rather have a 7-inch tablet rather than… → Read More
Last week at CEATEC 2010 in Japan, I saw attendees going nuts over the Galaxy Tab, which Japan’s biggest mobile carrier, NTT Docomo, won the local marketing rights for. And today, the No. 2 company in that space in Japan, KDDI, announced the so-called SMT-i900 [JP], which looks like a rebranded version of said tablet but is actually a different device. → Read More
http://player.ooyala.com/player.swf?embedCode=p4bndvMTqmgjkvJJbEWy1JpAahugfPKq&version=2 The Samsung Galaxy Tab has been official for thereabouts 37 years but yet Samsung still hasn’t mentioned a price or release date. It’s getting a little crazy now. Out with it already. Well, it seems Sprint’s pricing might have leaked, which places the tablet at $399 with a 2-year… → Read More
Yes, a few exclusive Galaxy Tabs are shipping with a Porn button. It’s not what you think, though — unless you think it’s the abbreviated Romanian for “Start.” Then it is what you think. [via Tablet News and Unwired View] → Read More
http://player.ooyala.com/player.swf?embedCode=p4bndvMTqmgjkvJJbEWy1JpAahugfPKq&version=2 The Galaxy Tab will be here when it gets here. That’s about all we can say about it. T-Mobile is at least taking a proactive stance and just posted an information sign-up page for their offering. Said page doesn’t reveal anything new, though. There’s just three marketing bullet points… → Read More
I hope you just finished your Italian Rosetta Stone. Well, maybe not. It’s not like you really need to know what this guy is saying to see that he’s unboxing a Samsung Galaxy Tab. It’s easy enough to follow along so if unboxings still get you going, click through for good one. → Read More
What’s a Friday without an Apple rumor? This time around the rumor comes straight out of China where Shanzai.com claims that the upcoming smaller iPad is complete and looks like a big iPhone rather than a shrunken-down iPad. It’s also said to have front- and rear-facing cameras. Sounds a lot like the Samsung Galaxy Tab to me. → Read More
The video is boring. I’m not exaggerating. However, it happens to be the most complete demo of a polished Android tablet without any marketing bull. It’s just some dude running through the major apps. That’s it. It actually does a fine job of prove Android as a practical tablet OS. It shows the mobile operating system as responsive, well suited for the tablet format, and overall usable — all… → Read More
The Galaxy Tab will soon be here and Samsung is revving up their marketing machine ahead of its launch. The latest video clocks in at just under two minutes and attempts to make a case for the tablet by yet again showing off its functions. Honestly, nothing shown is all that spectacular anymore thanks to the iPad’s rich feature set. The only two things demoed that are not available on the iPad… → Read More
