Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 Software Tour Part 2

2010-06-29
hey everyone Daniel Webster here from pocket comm and this is the part 2 of the Samsung Galaxy S software tour so the first thing I want to do is actually go into the programs and we have this application called mini diary and it's kind of like a scrapbook for your Android device and what this is allows you to do is put pictures and words to create your own sort of personal diary or scrapbook so if I wanted to add a photo here I'll do this tap and go to images and it will launch the gallery program so let's see here if I pick some of these I have some download so if I just wanted to add this photo there we go and now I can either create a memo and I can type it like there we go and then just save and now I've saved my diary and it will show the date of the diary entry and we can just save that so the next application is music player and will show you your entire list of music by all you can also go to playlists albums or artists and a cool thing about this program is all you have to do is turn it into landscape mode and if you I had album art on any of these songs it would show a photo of the album but all I have is a disc and I can just drag this down to get an entire list of all my songs there okay so now I can just go back and another cool thing about the galaxy essence allows you to view all of your files so a lot of Android devices don't allow you to do this you have to download a third-party application so I can just go let's see here if I want to look at my SD card I can either install applications from here or view all my photos or the music or video or whatnot so just go back now Samsung has included some of their own applications I've already downloaded a few of them but they are free and they work through the Android Market and you can download certain widgets and applications through the Samsung Apps enjoyed some of the settings a cool thing about this device is as you can see the font is different than on other devices so let's see here I think it's under display where's that at sound and display and now I can go down here to font style and if I want I can change my font to any one of these fonts or I can get fonts online and each one of them are about $0.99 on the Android Market and just cancel and go back we have social hub which allows you to add different messages to different social networks out there such as Facebook and Twitter or we can also change things to messaging we have Google Talk which is just a generic Google Talk application which comes on most Android 2.1 devices and you'd see that Chong and Joe is on there but Joe is away go to think free office which is a Microsoft Office compatible application which you can have your own documents whatnot and you can either have online documents for my documents so did you use the online documents you will have to sign up for their service I'm not too sure exactly how much it is but I think it's probably free so we can go to home since it's called thing free mobile I'm guessing it's free so the next application is the video player and the cool thing on this device is it has a DivX encoder built-in so i have a video file here for disney cruise which i was thinking about planning on going next year we'll see so I had risk world or this video files that I got from a DVD that I got for Netflix so as you can see it is very high quality and out video is very clear audio of course is very clear we just turn this down here so there you go so I can just go back and back again and we have voice dialer call two five three eight six six nine seven two four okay well apparently it didn't call that number but it works pretty well if it's up to your face go cancel via voice recorder and we can record some audio let's see here if it'll go into portrait mode so hey this is Dan I'm just making a video here for Pocket now so I can stop it and once it's saved I can play it okay so the sound quality is pretty good we'll just go back we have a voice search so if I wanted to search for something it's probably me try to search for that anyways we'll see how well that worked okay so I guess its search for self orange search for something okay so we'll just go back and we have right and go which is just a simple documents it's kind of like a memo pad for your Android device but cooling out this is you can also update your status on to Twitter and Facebook and you can also send it as a message so if I wanted to say test and just say send message I can send it to one of my contacts and it will send them that message so we just go back okay and just go back again delete all text yes so we also had YouTube which is just the basic Android 2.1 application so we can search for YouTube videos and play them on our device and we also have the navigation application and it's just the basic Android and navigation application so although video calling doesn't really work in the United States you can activate the front-facing video camera by just going to phone and we're just going to test this star pound zero star pound launches the Samsung utilities application so you can test certain features as you can see we can test the in here and we can also view the front-facing video camera okay so there we go we have my camera right there and there is my head so you go back and we can also do some other cool things with this little application this is a hidden application you do have to dial star pound zero star pounded to use this and this is on actually this is actually on most Samsung devices so if you do have a Samsung device you can test this out and the sensor is one a really cool thing you can view all magnetic information accelerometer and proximity so as you can see I have my proximity and light sensor right here so these are all the programs and applications that come on the Samsung Galaxy S and if you liked the video make sure you give us a thumbs up and leave comments so we like to hear pros and cons about the device what you think about the Samsung Galaxy S what you think about the other variants that may be coming to t-mobile and AT&T in the near future thanks for watching
