I Got To Play With The Samsung Galaxy Tab

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is a slick 7" Android 2.2 tablet that comes with Flash Player 10.1 I got to play with one this week, and here's an introductory video I recorded for Adobe TV.

Comments
When Samsung announced this device, people were pretty excited, but with the retail price being up near a $1000 and actually more expensive than a iPad, they are going to have a hard fight on their hands making it a success.

I do think they missed an opportunity here. They should have released a wi-fi only version. I have a phone I can tether my tablet to.

So I'm likely to get one of the other tablets out there that are significantly cheaper.

They did indeed commit to a Wi-Fi version. And as for pricing, I don't think any final pricing was announced, and I'd expect a wide range of pricing options.

I agree with Adam. I was excited about the device too, but there's no way I'll pay $1k for it. I've been burned twice now by expensive mobile devices that plain sucked, and you can get a pretty powerful laptop for $1k.

Wow you are so lucky I want one :)
I'm so happy that finally there will be a real portable device that actually tries to be more true to a mobile web browser.

Samsung products are just slick and cool and hopfully will be more stable from the last time I played around with one ;)

Great post thanks for the video its making me want it even more To your point what is the point of a mobile computer that can't surf the full web :P
