Customer Review

Now I would also like to get rid of my opinion about the highly acclaimed Samsung Galaxy Tab.
The packaging is not much greater than that of the Samsung Galaxy S. If you open the box, you immediately see the device that the whole package covered by the surface here.
Supplied accessories is rather meager. Charging cable, USB cable, headphones and manual.
Neither Kies software or a much needed micro-fiber cloth.
The Inohrkopfhörer be supplied with different connector if dad normal model does not fit into your ear, you can switch the plug.
What I have, incidentally etfahren only after careful works: The highly acclaimed Media Hub can be used only if an external SD card is eibgesteckt.
Although 16GB for music and a few movies and some apps completely sufficient one must therefore still buy for outrageously expensive money a Micro SD.
Plugging is not a problem, thanks to the two ports on the right side of the device.
Here you can, as I said, MikroSDs plug and SIM cards.
At least with SIM cards it can be a frustration task a reinzustecken because the card jumps out even when fixed pressing again.
I had to almost force pure force, so that they finally drinblieb.
The lid, cover the interfaces that go by the way broken very easily, since it is they pull out with your fingernail.
Let us turn now to the optics of the device to:
It looks really good in my opinion, and feels very stable in spite of plastic.
The back is white and has only the camera with flash.
Speakers and interface cables can be found at the bottom.
Right are volume controls, Lock key and card interfaces.
Above is the port for headphones.
On the left side is the micro.
Unlike, for example, when Samsujg Galaxy S, both the volume control and the lock button was attached to the right side of the device.
This can be annoying in as long as you at the beginning has problems under certain circumstances, to make the right button.
The display has 7 inch a very decent size, but, for example, writing with two hands is an impossibility.
Because of the non-existent pressure point you can prescribe very quickly.
After a little practice, but you can certainly write very fast.
Now we turn to the software.
On the Galaxy Tab, the Android operating system is installed with 2.2 Froyo.
This operating system was originally developed for smartphones, and it shows.
It controls Although similar fluid and intuitive as the competitor from Apple, but has partially Ruckeleinlagen me and even crashes fight. That may not happen often, but often enough. Especially the Internet browser installed, jerky when scrolling, the significantly better Dolphin HD has to contend with crashes and Opera Mini does not support Flash.
Skyfire is significantly slower than the normal browser or the other two Alternatively browser.
There is also a camera bug connected with Youtube: If you start the camera app, the preview image appears of last viewed videos as background, result: One can recognize when photographing zero.
The camera shoots despite only 3,2MP camera relatively decent photos and also video recordings provide for the dissolution of good quality.
Back to surfing, it makes (at least with dolphin) really fun, but it is advisable to operate only in landscape mode and to surf because the portrait is not the site is well presented, you can not zoom in original size scroll easily through different pages ,
A big advantage over the iPad is definitely the existing Flash function.
Per Dolphin does the surfing really well with Flash.
No Ruckelorgien but scroll liquid, videos are played on the part directly in the small window and scrolling is possible simultaneously.
Video Portals that only work with Flash, such as Myvideo.de, can be use einschrånkungsfrei.
Here Samsung can play with his muscles, liquid surf with Flash is after all possible.
The Market is not nearly as crowded as the smartphone but still has quite a good number of useful applications, but, especially in comparison to the iPad, very few games as high-caliber as Rage HD or Metal Gear is ledidiglich Ipadnutzern available.
To use the Tab as a mobile gaming console, hence is not a good idea.
I have addressed the Media Hub already above and would like to refer back to this, the Readers Hub and Music Hub.
These are similar to iTunes for Apple, Internet platforms, where you can download music, movies or eBooks.
The music quality is excellent and is not in accordance with the sound quality of MP3 songs from iTunes.
The film quality is great, it makes some really fun times simply unpack the tab at the airport, to plugs the headphones and just to watch a movie.
Only problem is the format, the aspect ratio supports 21: 9, but the films are 16: 9, which results in Balken.oben and below.
This is a nuisance at the already not been huge widescreen.
The free installed Office program "ThinkFree Office" is certainly not a complete replacement for OpenOffice or Microsoft Office, but make even a document on the plane, or tables is possible.
It is very commendable that is already installed and does not require the Programn extra bought as the iPad.
That concludes a conclusion for the Samsung Galaxy S:
It is a great device, which has found its place in my life and my expectations completely fulfilled.
Four stars there but still, I'm not satisfied with the default browser, and some Anwendungeb occasionally crash, which is, however, to Android 2.2, which has not been optimized for tablets.
So, unlimited purchase recommendation from me.
