Notes About The Samsung Galaxy

The Samsung Galaxy tab is designed to be among the most compact tabs you can purchase. It is made to fit in one hand, and is small enough to fit in the back pocket of your jacket.

One particular app makes typing much easier on the Samsung GT: Swype. This innovative app enables the user to input text with one continuous motion with your finger for each word. Thus, should you want to do a lot of IM’ing or texting, it may be easier on the Samsung Tab than the iPad from Apple.

If you take a quick look the Galaxy tab, you will see right away it’s not trying to be exactly like the Apple iPad. To start with, it’s smaller in size – only 7.5 x 5 inches in contrast to the iPad’s 9.5 x 7.5 inches. Then, the Galaxy runs off the Android OS and comes with a variety of standard Google apps. Lastly, this tab has a couple important specs that the iPad doesn’t have: front and backward looking cameras, and a jack for extra memory via an SD card. The card has over 30 gigs of extra storage. The extra SD card is especially useful if you store a lot of pics or videos.

You might wonder why you should purchase this tab in place of another. Well, it’s an ideal option if you’d like easier portability than the larger iPad. Plus, if you like the Android OS, the Samsung is based off Android. Android allows some extra functionality over the original iPad. For example, it is optimized for video chat. Plus, you can view Flash-based websites, which are blocked on the Apple.

The Galaxy has integrated Google apps, so it has easy access to quite a few popular Google mobile services. Some of these are Google Search by talk, Google Maps, Google IM, and YouTube. The tab can also access the Android app store, which has over 150K apps available.
