what's up everyone John retinue from TechnoBuffalo here I want to give you a full review of the Android tablet that's really starting the Android tablet crazy this is of course the Samsung Galaxy Tab let's go ahead and get started so I've had a little bit of time to plate the Galaxy Tab it overall I have to say it's been a very pleasant experience I was a little bit worried how an Android operating system that's clearly meant for a mobile phone was gonna translate to the tablet world I really the same Samsung has done a nice job making Android 2.2 tablet II if you will and a lot of ways this is very standard soft Froyo but know different ways Samsung certainly made some nice tweaks one of the biggest ways you can see these tweaks is in for example the application menu so you sort of don't get that circular scrolling that you get with Android 2.2 they've served encapsulated the icons and they've added a lot of sort of their own value adds here so for example you now have a you book reader certainly you have an e-book reader available for Android like the Kindle or other sort of applications that are third-party but sort of a native ebook reader is really quite nice and the pixel density on the Galaxy Tab really makes text pop it's got a 7-inch dream at the resolution of 600 by 1024 and it almost looks like when you look at it goes to a very low power mode and there's very little glare on the eye and eye strain what your reading books and I do a lot of reading this was quite important to me something to keep in mind let's go ahead and continue let's talk a bit about the browser Android does a great job with the browser and the one gigahertz hummingbird processor that's found in here there's a fantastic job handling flash content I've showed this in previous videos but I do want to show just really quickly again what Flash content looks like here on the Galaxy Tab will not play whoo-hoo unfortunately I tried my fingers crossed the whole time but you have the nice option you want to use flash 10.1 sure have that plane it's actually the best implementation of flash board that I've seen on device I really worked quite well you can see the turn right here showing my unboxing so I was actually surprised at how smooth it was the 7-inch screen I found to be a little bit smaller than I would have liked maybe I've gotten used to the bit larger nine point seven inch screen on the iPad but it definitely is sort of a mark before it makes it definitely more portable gives you much more screen real estate than you get with the device like the iPhone so pinellas with using for your internet browsing I think that the seven-inch screen really is gonna be a nice sweet spot for a lot of people big enough that you can read articles text web browsing you can watch a video on it but it's not too large it's gonna be an impediment or a peanut rather when you put it in your bag or a backpack I really have sort of a nice sturdy feel to it one of the other things I really like about the Galaxy Tab is in the addition of cameras having the choice with not the take pictures there are fairly unremarkable camera that's got a 1.3 megapixel camera on the back and a 3 megapixel sensor without a focus and flash on the back there pictures aren't outstanding they're sort of difficult camera phone as pictures but if you have the option is whether or not take pictures whether or not you want to take video with the Galaxy Tab which other tablets which I won't mention any names you don't have the option to do you also be really got a lot of flexibility here with the Galaxy Tab in the u.s. gonna be available on every major carrier as you have the choice about whether or not you want that network connectivity and you have the choice whether that you want to pick which networks going to give you the best connectivity for where you are so if you're near great verizon signal you can pick up a verizon galaxy tablet from your brady Dean t-- signal you can pick up a 18 C galaxy tablets or to do those pay-as-you-go options one of the other nice things in sort of another way where the galaxy cab gives you flexibility is right here on the side with that micro SD card slot the basic version comes in to 16 gigs but you can throw in cards here up to 32 gigs and really get as much or as a little storage as you want or as me lots of experts out as hot swap cars and really have a couple seasons at your favorite TV show I'm not XD card and a couple movies on another so for a long flight you can have to worry about the storage you have inside of your device you can really have an extra customization Samsung has done some other tweaks here I found quite nice one of the best places sort of see that would be in the calendar so we can sort of see where they've augmented the calendar app you can view it by day week list and I'll put a link down below if you want to see my full OS tour of the Galaxy Tab like that's sort of a lot of very nice tweaks here to make a mobile operating system very tablet friendly video works really well it's very bright you can sort of see it clearly filming video playing on a mobile device isn't really gonna do it that much justice but say that the resolution does look nice here's sort of pop and the video playback it was relatively smooth because it's Android they sure have the openness to sort of put on whatever video files you would like or use third-party video players that's really sort of the overall general feel for the Galaxy Tab i've enjoyed using it I think it could definitely be my tablet of choice if you're an Android fan you're really gonna like the evolution of Android and how it plays in the tablet device if you're an Apple fan and you're sort of staunchly against Android you're not gonna like this and that's sort of hard to talk about an Android device without mentioning Apple it's hard to talk about Apple about mentioning Android it's true as you read the cons you see that's always the hottest topic so know what you're getting into if you like and rate if you've got a mobile device you're familiar with it it's going to be a very reminiscent of what you've seen on your phone a little bit larger and optimized don't worry about it not working on a tablet really Samsung has done a fantastic job by making it work on a one to five scale i give the Galaxy Tab a very very very solid four and a half hour performance it at times can be a bit sluggish you have to do a decent amount of program and resource management here this particular device I'm feeling to do that I think you're going to get a really good experience the lack of better cameras I kept it from getting a solid 5 but this is definitely one of the best if not the best happen the market so I wanna come out here in the US or in Europe and you're in the market for a mobile tablet device you'll wake yourself to look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab I'm John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo and I'll see you in the next video bye-bye
