Last year, Samsung considered building a Windows 8 (RT), ARM-based, Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered tablet for Microsoft. But then, along with companies like HP, Samsung dropped out of the Windows 8 tablet production party to continue pursuing its Galaxy Tab prospects. Today, Microsoft issued a new commercial taking a dig at Samsung for its 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab’s […]
This week Apple and Samsung are back in court to further speak on the former’s patent case against the latter. Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing, Phil Schiller, went to the stand this week to speak up on a variety of topics, not least of all the effect Samsung’s smartphone and tablet brands have […]
For those of you who do keep track of those cute characters from Japanese culture, namely Hello Kitty and Doraemon, you would know that they make a cute pair – after all, the former does not have a mouth to speak, while the latter has no ears to hear. Hello Kitty herself has quite the following, which is why it is not surprising to see Samsung introduce the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Hello Kitty edition tablet, where it will sport all of the same innards such as a dual-core processor, a 7” display at 1,024 x 600 resolution, as well as Android Jelly Bean as the operating system of choice, except that on the outside, you will find it to be Hello Kitty through and through.
Tipped to be launched in Europe in a few weeks’ time, it has been whispered that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Hello Kitty edition will retail for approximately 229 Euros thereabouts. Other hardware specifications include 1GB RAM, 8GB of internal memory, and a microSD memory card slot, with the addition of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, front and rear cameras, and GPS support. Expect some Hello Kitty wallpaper to ensure that this is the cutest tablet that you will use – at least for a while.

The LTE version of the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 — similar to the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 we reviewed in July — is now available from AT&T, bringing with it support for LTE networks, a 7-inch display, and a dual-core processor. Both two-year-contract and AT&T Next pricing options are being offered, with the latter allowing […]
It peeked its head out just a day ago by way of a Korean back-to-school catalog, and now Samsung’s ready to let its kid-friendly cat out of the bag. The Galaxy Tab 3 Kids is, as the name implies, aimed at ever more tech savvy young ones, featuring a child-friendly skinned Android 4.1 and a slew of educational apps, games, e-books and the like — in fact, the more we hear about it, the more we think of the XO Tablet. Over on the hardware side, there’s a seven-inch 1024 x 600 display, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, front and rear facing cameras and 8GB of internal storage, expandable via a microSD slot. It’s also got a rugged frame for clumsy little hands. The Tab is coming to Korea next month, with availability following in the US, UK, Europe, China and Africa. No word yet on pricing.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, while having a numerically challenging name, is a slick little guy that’s not too big, not too small, but just right.
Still, is that enough to compete with not only the iPad mini but also Samsung’s own Galaxy Note 8-inch tablet?
To start, the specs on this bad boy are sure to please. John Biggs felt that the 8-inch 1280×800 display was beautiful, which is no surprise considering Samsung manufactures some of the best displays in the industry. The tablet comes in 16GB and 32GB options, and starts at a perfectly reasonable $299 price point.
But without any 4G/LTE connectivity (which isn’t an option in the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0), the tab itself is inherently limited. Moreover, neither of us are particularly pleased with the plastic build materials or the Galaxy S 3-style design language.
Nonetheless, it’s hard to argue with Samsung as a whole, which has risen to be the undisputed market leader in mobile computing. The company very strategically offers a variety of products in each category, with different uses and price points for each. The GalTab 3 8.0 is yet another sheep in the Samsung-flavored herd, but it doesn’t mean that it won’t help you get to sleep at night.
If you’re part of the Apple ecosystem already, it’s hard not to justify the extra $30 for an iPad mini. If not, however, the GalTab 3 8-inch is a reasonable consideration, especially alongside Samsung’s Galaxy Note line of tablets.
This afternoon the folks at the IDC released quarterly worldwide shipment numbers for tablets, suggesting as they did so that a slump in the market this quarter may be due to Apple’s lack of a new iPad. And we got to thinking: it’s easy to relate the growth of the tablet industry over the past […]

Ah, parents would definitely love the “back to school” season, as this would mean their little ones (no matter how old a child gets, in the eyes of the parents, he or she would still be considered as “young” or “little”) will have to return to school and get out of their hair, and a more normal pattern of living is established. No more sleeping in late for them, and neither do they have the opportunity to stay up till the wee hours of the morning – it is a life of rigorous discipline, and it is time to score those grades that are required by Ivy League universities in order to gain entry into the hallowed hallways of their prestigious educational institutions. Well, Samsung intends to ride the tide with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Student Edition.
Just what can one expect from the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Student Edition? Well, for starters, it will come with a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 tablet right out of the box, accompanied by a Desktop Dock as well as Bluetooth keyboard in order for students to create, share and store documents – apart from browsing the Web of course. Heck, a tablet is said to make life easier when one is tackling homework and needs all the possible tools in order to ace whatever exams that they,face.
Not only that, it is said that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Now, we certainly do not want that to happen, do we? The moment one completes his or her homework, perhaps it is time to use the very same tablet to take some time off, and such recreational activities include watching movies or playing games on the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1′s 10-inch display. You can always make full use of the Samsung Media Hub or explore apps on Google Play with this tablet, and turn it into a TV remote thanks to the Smart Remote and built-in IR blaster. You can say that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Student Edition comes packed with content value, were it will include Polaris Office for homework purposes, an entire year’s worth of free of 50GB Dropbox storage, and three months worth of free of Hulu Plus for those boring moments. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Student Edition is on sale for $349.99 a pop, resulting in you saving over $100 along the way.

With so many products available, it seems that Samsung is just taking a “spray and pray” approach to its product strategy. But there are actually a number of reasons why Samsung wants, and is able, to ship such a huge …
