Samsung Galaxy Tab roda Froyo, tem Flash e tela de 7″
Provavelmente este foi o segredo menos secreto de todos os tablets (mais até que o iPad), mas as especificações finais do Samsung Galaxy Tab agora foram reveladas. Ele vai rodar Android 2.2 (Froyo) e virá em versão de 7 polegadas - por enquanto.
Provavelmente este foi o segredo menos secreto de todos os tablets (mais até que o iPad), mas as especificações finais do Samsung Galaxy Tab agora foram reveladas. Ele vai rodar Android 2.2 (Froyo) e virá em versão de 7 polegadas – por enquanto.
Este é um daqueles momentos onde o produto final excede as expectativas criadas pelos vazamentos anteriores. Tá, a maior parte das especificações já era conhecida, mas você sabia que o Galaxy Tab vai ser o primeiro tablet certificado pela DivX?
Estamos certos de que haverá outros tamanhos de tablet no futuro vindos da Samsung, mas este modelo GT-P1000 em particular tem tela de 7 polegadas TFT-LCD WSVGA (com 1024×600 pixels), e vem com processador Cortex A8 de 1GHz e GPU PowerVR SGX540 – o mesmo usado no smartphone Galaxy S – e conta com 512MB de RAM.
Como esperado, a câmera traseira tem 3 megapixels com autofoco e flash LED, e a câmera frontal (para videoconferência) tem sensor de 1,3MP. Em algumas das fotos abaixo, você verá a câmera traseira sendo usada pelo app Layar. Não sei se será mais conveniente que usar o celular, mas com certeza é uma boa novidade.
A Samsung oferece duas versões do tablet, uma com 16GB e outra com 32GB, e ambas podem ser expandidas com mais 32GB via cartão SD.
Foram incluídas várias opções de conectividade, como Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 3.0 e suporte a 3G, caso o usuário queira usar dados com uma das operadoras que vendem o aparelho (a operadora britânica Vodafone será a primeira).
Como vimos no vídeo vazado semana passada, ele tem uma porta para conector de 30 pinos, parecida com a usada na Apple em seus dispositivos.
O único elefante na sala é o fato que a Samsung colocou sua interface TouchWiz em cima do Froyo. Não sou muito fã dos celulares da empresa, mas vou esperar por um hands-on até poder julgar o Galaxy Tab pela sua usabilidade.
Um Centro de Leitura, Centro de Mídia, Centro de Música e Centro Social funcionam como áreas dedicadas para usos particulares – como pastas, só que melhoradas. Além de ter Android Market, o Galaxy Tab também tem acesso ao Samsung Apps Market para programas feitos para tablet. O giroscópio, sensor geomagnético, acelerômetro e sensor de luminosidade podem ser usados para criar apps bastante interessantes.
Os detalhes completos seguem no release abaixo. O Galaxy Tab estará disponível na Europa no meio de setembro, e nos EUA e em outros países até o final do ano. [via T3]
Berlin, Germany, September 2nd, 2010 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, a global leader in mobile technology, today announced the launch of the Samsung GALAXY Tab (Model: GT-P1000). Powered by Android Operating System 2.2, the Samsung GALAXY Tab is the first of the company’s tablet devices, representing a new category of mobile products for Samsung.
The Samsung GALAXY Tab brings together all of Samsung’s leading innovations to provide users with more capabilities while on the move. Consumers are able to experience PC-like web-browsing and enjoy all forms of multimedia content on the perfectly sized 7-inch display, wherever they go. Moreover, users can continuously communicate via e-mail, voice and video call, SMS/MMS or social network with the optimized user interface.
"Samsung recognizes the tremendous growth potential in this newly created market and we believe that the Samsung GALAXY Tab brings a unique and open proposition to market. There is a new and emerging consumer demand that Samsung can satisfy since mobile is in our DNA. This demand continues to grow and develop as users tap its limitless potential," said JK Shin, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics. "The Samsung GALAXY Tab has been designed to enable consumers to maximize their online experience wherever that may be. The Samsung GALAXY Tab is pushing the market in new directions and Samsung believes this is only the beginning of its innovations as pioneers in smart media devices."
A new concept of mobility for media
As a new category of device, the Samsung GALAXY Tab brings a wealth of mobile experiences. Its striking 7" TFT-LCD display delivers exciting mobile experience for watching films, viewing pictures, e-reading or sharing documents. In design, its light (380g) build provides perfect portability, with its svelte dimensions making it easy to grip and use. Supporting the latest Adobe Flash Player 10.1, the Samsung GALAXY Tab fully supports swift, seamless viewing of every single page of the web.
The ‘Readers Hub,’ Samsung’s unique e-reading application, provides easy access to a vast digital library – from classical literature to the latest bestsellers and reference materials. At the same time, Samsung unveils ‘Media Hub,’ a gateway to a world of films and videos, and ‘Music Hub,’ an application giving access to a wide range of music tunes.
The Samsung GALAXY Tab has made rich communication truly mobile; it presents a level of converged technology that moves beyond mobile or PC to an entirely new category. Users have new powers to consume, create and communicate from wherever they are.
Powerful, always-on communication
With 3G HSPA connectivity, 802.11n Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth® 3.0, the Samsung GALAXY Tab enhances users’ mobile communication on a whole new level. Video conferencing and push email on the large 7-inch display make communication more smooth and efficient. For voice telephony, the Samsung GALAXY Tab turns out to be a perfect speakerphone on the desk, or a mobile phone on the move via Bluetooth® headset.
Powered by a Cortex A8 1.0GHz application processor, the Samsung GALAXY Tab is designed to deliver high performance whenever and wherever you are. At the same time, HD video contents are supported by a wide range of multimedia formats (DivX, XviD, MPEG4, H.263, H.264 and more), which maximizes the joy of entertainment.
While the front-facing camera allows face-to-face video telephony over 3G, the rear-facing camera captures still images and video that you can edit, upload and share, all without any hassle. As online content explodes, the Samsung GALAXY Tab is the best portable solution for every lifestyle that needs a constant connection.
The Samsung GALAXY Tab will be launched in Europe in mid September, and in other markets including Korea, the US and Asia in coming months. .
Applications of the Samsung GALAXY Tab
The Samsung GALAXY Tab is packed with services to complement and enhance your life in different ways. Access to Android Marketplace lets users download apps and personalize their device infinitely. In addition, there are pre-loaded applications uniquely designed and optimized for Samsung smart phones and smart media devices.
Readers Hub – Samsung Readers Hub consolidates e-reading applications such as eBooks, magazines, and newspapers. Users can enjoy ‘reading’ with unified and intuitive user experience powered by global eReading service leaders, Kobo, PressDisplay and Zinio. More than 2 million books including today’s best sellers, over 2,500 titles of magazines in 20 languages and more than 1,600 newspapers in 47 languages are available at launch and will grow the library gradually.
Google Mobile Services – Services like Google Maps™ Navigation (Beta) and Google Goggles are available on Google’s Android platform. With useful location-based services like Google Maps, consumers can search in Standard English instead of entering an exact address. A search-by-voice function is just as intuitive, meaning searches can also be completed easily on the go. Google Goggles is a powerful, visual search tool that uses the Samsung GALAXY Tab’s camera to uncover information – an image of a landmark or artwork is automatically used to perform a search, delivering relevant content like a description or history. In addition, with a camera, users can enjoy various augmented reality services which are downloadable in the application market.
More applications will be available from Samsung Apps.
