Samsung Galaxy Tab to have HDMI dock, leather case, and other sideshow trinkets

Posted in: accessories, case, earphones, GalaxyTab, keyboard, leak, Peripherals, samsung, samsung galaxy tab, SamsungGalaxyTab, slate, tablet, Today's Chili

We’re starting to think Samsung has given up the pretense of keeping the Galaxy Tab‘s details secret and is letting them all out now. Accessories for its upcoming 7-inch Android tablet have been spotted on one of Sammy’s many online portals, complete with pricing. The headline act here will be that “table charging station” on the top left, which happens to have a neat set of HDMI and audio output ports, making the Tab a quirky but viable choice for pumping movies into your HDTV. It’s said to be priced at €54 ($69), which we might consider expensive if it wasn’t for the keyboard peripheral costing €82 ($105). The relative bargain of the set is the leather case that doubles as a stand, asking for only €41 ($52).

Samsung Galaxy Tab gets video preview in Korea

Posted in: Android, breaking news, BreakingNews, froyo, GalaxyTab, in the wild, InTheWild, korea, samsung, samsung galaxy tab, SamsungGalaxyTab, South Korea, SouthKorea, tablet, Today's Chili, video

It sees like we can’t let a day pass without talking about Samsung’s upcoming Froyo tablet. This time there’s a whole video preview, courtesy of some of our Korean brethren. Android 2.2, WCDMA 3G, 802.11n WiFi, a 16:10 screen ratio, a front-facing camera “dedicated to video calling,” SDHC memory expandability, and a DMB tuner for those TV-crazy Koreans are all listed on the spec sheet, but you’ll be wanting to see the Galaxy Tab’s UI in motion. It really looks silky smooth and should give the iPad cause for concern. Speaking of the iPad, there’s a size comparison against Apple’s slate and Samsung’s own Galaxy S handset as well — all yours after the break.

Update: Fast-loading video embedded after the break.

[Thanks, Eric]

Samsung Galaxy Tablet P1000 firmware leaks out, points to 1GHz Hummingbird core?

Posted in: Android, froyo, GalaxyTab, rumor, samsung, samsung galaxy tab, SamsungGalaxyTab, tablet, tablets, Today's Chili

Samsung’s Galaxy Tablet might debut with Vodafone. It might appear at IFA. And it might ship with a slightly slower processor than the last batch of rumors supposed. Samsung Firmwares claims to have stumbled upon a Android 2.2 software build for the Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 complete with device specs in tow, and says it will have a 1.0GHz S5PC110 processor just like the Galaxy S at left. That’s not the only characteristic the 7-inch tablet might share with that smartphone, as the website also fingers an 800 x 480 screen, which might explain why Sammy felt the need to smack the iPhone 4’s pixel density. We wouldn’t call it anything near confirmation, but the website also corroborates the 3.2 megapixel rear camera and tiny front-facing shooter our tipster tagged in June, plus a Swype keyboard, Flash and the ubiquitous WiFi and GPS. We’re eager to find out what’s actually under the hood when we finally see it in person.

Samsung Galaxy Tablet coming soon to Vodafone UK?

Posted in: Android, android tablet, AndroidTablet, galaxy, GalaxyTab, Google, GoogleAndroid, samsung, samsung galaxy tab, SamsungGalaxyTab, slate, tab, tablet, tablet pc, TabletPc, Today's Chili, uk

You know the old ‘smoke and fire’ adage by now, and while the alarms aren’t sounding just yet, we get the feeling that they will be shortly. We’ve heard Samsung itself confirm that an Android-based tablet would be departing its labs sometime this year, and since then, we’ve also heard an IFA debut tossed around. Given that said show is but a few weeks out, it’s halfway logical to think that Sammy would be notifying some of its launch partners of its intentions. We can’t be certain that things are locked in just yet, but a ‘Samsung Galaxy Tablet’ has recently surfaced within Vodafone UK’s systems (as shown above). There’s no price or release date accompanying the mention, but it may signal that a 3G-enabled version could be coming to Britons following a proper unveiling in Berlin next month. We’ll keep digging for more, and you can bet we’ll be on the ground in Deutschland for a hands-on should the opportunity arise.

Samsung’s Q3-bound tablet to boast 7-inch display, Android OS

Posted in: Android, android tablet, AndroidTablet, galaxy, GalaxyTab, Google, GoogleAndroid, samsung, samsung galaxy tab, SamsungGalaxyTab, slate, tab, tablet, tablet pc, TabletPc, Today's Chili

Slowly but surely, Samsung’s future as a tablet PC provider is taking shape. Details on the outfit’s foray into the world of the slate has been trickling out over the past few months, and shortly after learning that a so-called Galaxy Tab would be out and about in Q3, now we’re finding out two more critical details: screen size and operating system. According to the company, the Q3-bound device (assumed to be the aforesaid Galaxy Tab) will boast a smaller-than-average 7-inch screen, and rather than humming along on Bada or Windows 7, Google’s Android will be at the helm. We’re being forced to wait for further information, but given the proximity to Q3, all should be crystal clear in the not-too-distant future.

[Thanks, Keith]

Samsung executive confirms: Galaxy Tab tablet coming by Q3

Posted in: breaking news, BreakingNews, galaxy, GalaxyTab, lte, samsung, samsung galaxy tab, SamsungGalaxyTab, tab, Today's Chili

We had more than a hunch that Samsung was toiling away on a tablet of some sort, and while we’d been loosely referring to its as the S-Pad and Tab, it looks as if the latter moniker is the one that’ll stick. J.K. Shin, president of Samsung’s mobile communications division, recently affirmed as much during a sit-down with the Wall Street Journal, stating the following:

“I can also say that we are planning to launch a tablet computer, named Galaxy Tab, no later than in the third quarter of this year.”

He didn’t elaborate beyond that, so we’re still on pins and needles waiting to find out if it’ll run Windows 7, Bada or BeOS, but we ought to know much, much more in just a few months. An IFA debut, perhaps?
