Samsung Galaxy Tab Uncrating [Video]

, Oct 26th 2010 Discuss [2]

It seems like it’s been a long time since Samsung officially announced the Galaxy Tab back at IFA 2010 in early September.  Since then we’ve seen gradual European availability of the Android slate, in the run-up to a UK launch on November 1 and broad US sales on all four major carriers in the middle of next month.  Today, DHL dropped off a wooden crate on the SlashGear doorstep, with a shiny new European-spec Galaxy Tab inside; check out the unboxing uncrating after the cut, together with a video demo and some first impressions.

Samsung Galaxy Tab missing Verizon Skype app at launch

, Oct 26th 2010 Discuss [1]

The absence of voice call support from the US carrier versions of the Samsung Galaxy Tab is frustrating enough - after all, the functionality is present on the European versions of the same Android slate - but with the news that Skype will be missing from the Verizon model it goes from bad to worse.  Engadget snagged shots of one of the carrier's internal training guides, which confirms that the Skype mobile, NFL Mobile and V CAST Video apps will all be missing from the Galaxy Tab when it initially launches.

WiFi-only Samsung Galaxy Tab listed at Best Buy

, Oct 25th 2010 Discuss [1]

Tablets: A Prescription for Confusion

, Oct 24th 2010 Discuss [29]

“It appears to be just a handful of credible entrants” said Apple CEO Steve Jobs on iPad rivals, “not exactly an avalanche.” It’s certainly been a shaky few weeks for tablets in general; while Apple’s slate can apparently do little wrong, contributing nicely to another record financial quarter for the Cupertino company, the rest of the market is looking deeply troubled. Qualms over platforms, sizes, pricing and usability have all come to a head over the past seven days, leaving manufacturers looking almost as confused as the would-be consumers.

Verizon has announced pricing and availability for the Samsung Galaxy Tab, and anybody hoping for a sub-$200 contract bargain will be sorely disappointed.  Instead, Verizon will offer the 7-inch Android slate for $599.99 with no agreement when it arrives in stores on November 11 2010.  There'll also be an optional monthly access plan for data.

Samsung Galaxy Tab gets Amazon price cut

, Oct 20th 2010 Discuss [2]

Someone in Amazon UK's pricing department has apparently woken up and noticed that Carphone Warehouse were undercutting them on the unlocked, SIM-free Samsung Galaxy Tab, and has adjusted their pricing accordingly.  The retailer had previously been asking £599.99 for the 7-inch Froyo slate, but pre-orders are now down to £529.99 just like their rival.

Jobs: 7-inch Tablets DOA; Android is fragmented, not open

, Oct 19th 2010 Discuss [10]

Apple's solid financial performance for the past quarter got them headlines enough, but it's CEO Steve Jobs' no-holds-barred attack on rival "open" platforms and tablets trying to colonise the middle-ground between iPhone and iPad that will likely stick in most memories.  Making an unusual appearance on the financial results call, Jobs dismissed 7-inch slates - like Samsung's Galaxy Tab and including the ongoing rumors of a smaller iPad version - as "tweeners" falling in-between smartphone and iPad and likely to be dead on arrival, while also saving a few obituary words for RIM.

Samsung SMT-i9100 is KDDI’s cut-down Galaxy Tab

, Oct 18th 2010 Discuss [3]

Japanese carrier KDDI has confirmed it too will be getting a 7-inch Samsung tablet, though it's not the Galaxy Tab we've seen until now.  The Samsung SMT-i9100 is obviously from the same family as the Galaxy Tab, with a 7-inch 1024 x 600 touchscreen and Android 2.2 Froyo, but it loses the 3G connectivity, has a lower-resolution, 2-megapixel camera and a redesigned casing.
