Samsung and Verizon Wireless announced Tuesday that an LTE version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1, one of the few tablets to date that critics have called an opponent to the Apple iPad, is available today.
Now the techy bit - The new Samsung tablet features a 10.1-inch touch screen, supports WiFi, runs on Google Android 3.1 (Honeycomb), supports Flash apps and is powered by an Nvidia Tegra2 dual-core 1GHz processor. It has rear and front facing 2-megapixel camera for video chats, 3-megapixel camera capable of recording HD video, 10.1-inch 1280 x 800-pixel resolution display, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, and Google Mobile Services including Gmail, YouTube, Google Talk, Google Search, Google Maps, Google Movies, Google Books and Android Market.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab only weighs a mere at 1.25 pounds and is 8.6 Millimeters thin, this tablet with the new 4G LTE feature will give customers download speeds of 5 to 12 Mbps and upload speeds of 2 to 5 Mbps in 4G Mobile Broadband coverage areas, it also comes with Adobe Flash 10.3 technology, Samsung Media Hub, and much more.
Fitting so much power and processing capacity in such a small frame requires cutting some corners. Like the iPad 2, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has only one port--its docking/charging port. That means that USB, HDMI, SD, and other ports are missing, and require dongles and adapters just like the iPad 2. If you were hoping for an Android tablet with the ports built in, you should take a closer look.
Personally, I think the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 looks great certainly a rival for the iPad 2. It would be nice to have 4G connectivity, but I don't think this is a great deal due to the contractual commitment and required data plan.
Still, I wouldn't mind trying one out.
