Samsung Galaxy Tab makes appearance in Korea, gets videoed

General

If you just can’t wait for the Samsung Galaxy Tab to hit the streets, we may have something for you. Korean site dt.co.kr has posted a video of the 7-inch tablet complete with UI walkthroughs and size comparisons. We have the video ready for you after the break, although we do want to caution you it takes quite a while for the whole clip to buffer and become viewable. Have a look and let us know what you think.

    that is an ipad clone to the T…wow….is apple seeing this…even down to the row of app icons..disgusting

    • Fanboys Must DIE

      Of the devices shown in the pic, which one exactly are you referring to? We’ll number them 1 (the phone all the way in front), 2, the device next to it, and 3, the device in the very back. Which device is your comment aimed at?

      OMG Icons. I can’t believe they ripped off Apple’s invention of an icon bar! Next thing you know they will rip off Apple’s invention of folders, multitasking, and watching movies on a digital device!

      • http://www.thedigitante.com Andy

        Haha, silly goose. The iPad doesn’t have multitasking yet!

        that is how stupid apple cheerleaders are, all those kids who jumped on the apple wagon, making real apple loyal customer look bad.

      • ViniD

        HMM they have square icons and 4 icons on the bottom yes that is copying, dont be stupid so the company that made the first car, nobody told other company omg u guys ripping them off u also have a steering wheel and four doors and four tires.

        Multitasking — android had first
        Folders — android had first
        watching movies on a digital device — well i dont know who had this first because that tech has been around for a long time but def not apple

      • don’t feed the troll, man. Come on I can SMELL that dude’s sarcasm, and it smells like my balls.

        Oh, please… Windows Mobile, Symbian, and various others have been multitasking since inception. In fact, so had the iPhone, just not for 3rd party apps. Multitasking is such a ubiquitous feature that operating systems going back decades have had them. Jailbreakers, for instance, have long had the ability to background apps.

        I would still argue that iPhone doesn’t really have folders, but instead has stacks or groups… You can’t put a folder in a folder, for instance. Theres really no technical reason why any company couldn’t have overcome many limitations, but each makes the design decisions that they perceive best for their platform. I would hardly call any of these features innovative or technically challenging. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. It’s that simple.

        Silly Billy my Nexus One has all of that and free hotspot for 5 devices.

      • cameron

        Dave do you realize Android did all of those things before iphone? Just like they did 1 g processors and front facing cameras.

    • ViniD

      Well three out of the four most expensive parts on the iPad are made by samsung so to all u apple fan boys chill out

      • non bias

        this is true, one reason why apple won’t bad mouth samsung in public.

  • Max M

    Screen real-estate is a bit to small don’t you guys think.

  • helebek

    Somebody please download and copy this video somewhere else. It sux.

  • Greg

    I really wish Samsung would quit trying to ape Apple. Android has its own strengths that set it apart from iOS… It doesn’t serve the platform when companies just try to “clone” the iThing. Full screen widgets for mail, messages, social networking, etc. could have really made this tablet stand out, but instead, it just shows rows of app icons.

    I do like the 7″ factor, though. Ten is just too big. ;P

    • ViniD

      Buy it and put launcher pro on it and plenty of widgets that will do all that so should be good

      • Greg

        You and I know how to do that, but the masses probably have no clue…

      • paul

        erm, you go to the market, search and install the app, pretty simple..

    Better than iPad…..

  • Android

    Apple must be in the doldrums after watching this video on the Cupertino campus. Wonder how low their mood is right now.

    • Jnl813

      As long as it doesnt weight a thousand pounds like the iPad, i will get one! Hhhmmm?? Isnt Apple releasing a 7 nch iPad in January? Wonder why? Alot of Apple fanboys started saying their arms were hurting by holding it up while trying to watch Sesame Street episodes.

      • Ummm

        The iPad is heavy to you? Either you are weakest person on the planet or you are just an idiot. Spew your venom elsewhere loser.

      • Jnl813

        You obviously dont own one becasue if you did you would know that YES it is heavy after holding it for more than 5 minutes. Does this make me an idiot? Maybe. But only because i am wasting 2 minutes of my life replying back to you “Venom” comment. LOL

      • Jnl813

        BTW -way let public speak for themselves…oh look I got more votes than you did! LOL

      • Steve B Job

        The damn ipad is too heavy. Just hold it for 5 minutes without a stand. EPIC FAIL

      • iSexusOne3G

        Jnl813 thats funny! Its bad enough they have to hold a Starbucks coffee at the same time.

  • Paul

    Click on Play, then Pause, open another browser TAB or browser occurance and let it buffer for 30mins or so. Then slide the little slider to the far left to start the video over again, just above the play button on the far right bottom of the TagStore video.

    I could care less if it looks like the iPad if once I get to use one I like it I’ll buy it.

  • Steve B Job

    Folks, open your eyes. I used to be icrap fan until I saw the damn Galaxy S. Now I aint going back to icrap anymore. I will grab this in a minute. All that I need is a Super AMOLED. I was almost ready to buy ipad 3g but couldnt as it was out of stock. After really having another look at it, it would have been a BIG MISTAKE. COme on Sammy, Kill the iPAD. if not soon, later.

    Anyway, anyone know if this has SMOLED ??

  • zack

    I really hate the look of Samsung’s UI. The tablet is great, but that skin is really ruining it for me.

    I’m still holding out for the Motorola tablet with Gingerbread, but only if it isn’t skinned.

    Have I mentioned I don’t like skins?

  • joe

    does anyone know if it is going to have a phone ?

  • Elektra

    All the Apple hating.

    The least Samsung and Android fans can do is say “thank you” to Apple. You guys wouldn’t have this touchscreen tablet if not for Samsung copying every product that Apple releases.

    Next up on Samsung’s “to do” list. Galaxy TV, just like Apple’s iTV.

    • Steve B Job

      You will be able to buy when you no longer work for Wendy’s for $8/hour. You need to make atleast $15 and I dont think you will ever hit $9/hour by looking at the posts !!
      Ha Ha.

      • zack

        Haha!

        Idiot.

  • DroidSucks

    I just got an iPad 64 3g today!
