Samsung Galaxy Tab

Just found this new gadget from Samsung while boringly surfing the Internet. (ehehe)
The wide, Super VGA, 1024-by-600-pixel TFT display appeared bright and viewable at an angle. Samsung claims that its display has a better viewing angle and contrast ratio than the higher-resolution iPad screen.
It has two cameras--a rear-facing 3.2-megapixel camera and a front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera--and a camcorder for video chat. In our limited environment, the back-facing camera seemed to be of passable quality.
The device has very little else on it physically, aside from volume-up and -down controls and a power button. It has a proprietary charger port; like the iPad, the Tab requires more juice than is available solely over USB. If you plug the Tab into a computer's USB port, you'll get a trickle charge, but not a full charge as you would with a phone. The 4000-mAh battery provides 7 hours of video, according to Samsung.
Inside, the Galaxy Tab has Samsung's 1GHz Hummingbird Application processor, two SIM slots, a 3G radio for data connections, Wi-Fi and DLNA support, 16GB of memory on-board, and one MicroSD slot for expanding memory to up to 32GB. The Tab runs Android 2.2, supports Adobe Flash 10.1 and Microsoft's PlayReady DRM, and features a tablet-optimized version of TouchWiz 3.0, the Samsung interface found on the company's Galaxy S smartphones.
