Samsung Galaxy Tab: 1st Boot & OS Tour

2010-10-25
what's up everyone John Breton German TechnoBuffalo here in boxing's are all fine and good but what you want to see it I know I want to see is how Android looks on a tablet let's go ahead and power on the Galaxy Tab and take the first look it's all through a very thorough walkthrough the operating system once I have some chance to play with it and sort of get to know the nuances but for right now let's just power this guy on so it is running Android 2.2 there's the power button on the side let's go ahead and see if we have any juice and it looks like we do go ahead and peel off the screen protector here from Galaxy Tab and as that's sort of booting up I'll review the specs advice in case you haven't seen it it does have a 7 inch screen resolution of 1024 by 600 again Android 2.2 running Samsung's 1 gigahertz AAA cortex chip you might have heard that called a hummingbird 512 megabytes of RAM 3 min because a camera on the back with autofocus and flash 1.3 megapixel camera on the front and this will does have actually full flash support so this looks very familiar Android style and go ahead and slide to unlock and looks like stock Android just larger going to scroll through here looks sort of ripe for a for a launcher you've got some sort of dedicated Samsung things here so you've got a dedicated daily briefings widget this is not running a TouchWiz I can see right there this is the sort of the GSM version there is not a SIM card in there so this is just running on Wi-Fi so we'll be watch that connect to it let's go and see what sort of widgets they put on here we do have one two three four five home screens by default let's see what Samsung put on here let's go and jump into widgets and here's what we're gonna have so a key weather clock analog clock calendar calendar clock daily briefing feeds and updates Google search home screen tips latitude market news and weather picture frame that you guys read the rest is power control program monitor Yahoo Finance and YouTube what I'm really curious about here is how flash is going to work on a device well they're not flashed 10.1 is going to be a bit slow we're not slow so I'm gonna go ahead and connect this guy to my Wi-Fi network and let's check out how flash works all right so a few points of notice before I go and hook this up to Wi-Fi and show you flash and you go the applications you actually do have sort of a TouchWiz looking away that the icons are showing here they're serving caps lived on their own you go ahead you can sort of scroll through horizontally to see those of course it does have an accelerometer looks to be extremely responsive as I rotate it it's very quick actually one of the faster rotating times that I've seen them the Android device and personally enough it comes shift and sort of already loaded on here within active applications widget to sort of lets you manage your programs all right so now let's go ahead up this thing up to Wi-Fi and see how flash works all right so we are hooked up to Wi-Fi I went to my youtube channel youtube.com slash John for Lakers you can see that flash is actually really smooth here that video is playing really well go ahead and let it play for a second this is really the first time I was seeing flash on a mobile device he's playing a YouTube video that isn't jumpy that just works very smoothly so I hats off to Samsung go ahead and double tap to zoom in and out and does work it's actually working out pretty decently so I know the big question everybody wants to see at least I wanted to see where two things keyboard and Hulu so I'll show you both of those real quickly so first let me go ahead and tap the address bar here this is the keyboard looks very iPhone ish and of course when you rotate it you go ahead and get a landscape version and I'll be doing a sort of full thorough walkthrough on what this is gonna look like in a keyboard and such but to take a real quick look at Hulu since I'm curious to the plays I assume that you guys are as well let's go ahead and delete all this and let's try Gullu and see if this works we have not really seen Hulu working on any sort of a phone let's go ahead and watch your favorite anytime and see if this see this works we'll figure it out together live on video at least live for me you're watching this at another time browser is very snappy here on the Galaxy Tab it's sort of typical Android it works well pinch-to-zoom worked very well as well so hello we noticed that you are trying to access it's currently not available working hard to support it to continue to browse alright so this that probably take care of that question let's go ahead and see if it will let us play anything so here's a clip from or whatever's loading here Hulu weaned let's go ahead to get that will let us play although it does not look promising so it does look like a no dice here for Hulu playing the content didn't start let's just double check and try clicking one other video to see if we get something to come up here of course again I'll be doing a full a sort of overview of the OS showing you how the browser worked in sharing the nuances of it this is just a first look in the first power on I was really excited to see what it looked like I thought maybe you guys might be as well well I should looks like content is loading here let's see if it plays still loading we may actually have full who support here on the Galaxy Tab get the setting control just popped up on the right still loading no oh such a tease video is currently unavailable we apologize for inconvenience so there is no Hulu support here unfortunately and it does let you know again that you've got one application running so if a that you guys want to see you in particularly leave the comments down below so just a our first look to be a plenty of a Galaxy Tab coverage coming up including a vs with the iPad I'm John Revengers and TechnoBuffalo I'll see you in the next video bye-bye
