Samsung Galaxy Tab introduces a new dimension of mobile technology convergence
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, a global leader in mobile technology, today introduced the newly launched Samsung Galaxy Tab (Model: GT-P1000) to the UAE market. The Tab was showcased and offered at Gitex 2010 that took place from 17-21 October, 2010. 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 sees the United Arab Emirates and GCC as a key market for its mobile division, and we have witnessed tremendous growth since the introduction of our smartphones earlier this year,” said Young Woo Jun, General Manager, Samsung Gulf Electronics.
“The Galaxy Tab represents the company’s first foray into this recently established market, and combined with Samsung’s mobile DNA and long history of successful mobile products, we are certain the Galaxy Tab will steer the smart media devices market in new directions.”
The Galaxy Tab makes use of a striking 7″ TFT-LCD display that, combined with a 1GHz application processor, delivers exciting mobile experience for watching HD films in a variety of formats, viewing pictures, e-reading or sharing documents. Its light weight provides perfect portability, making it a truly mobile multi-purpose communications device. Standard support for the latest Adobe Flash Player 10.1, the Galaxy Tab fully supports swift, seamless viewing of every single page of the web, while native Arabic language support means the Galaxy Tab was built with the Middle East region in mind – no more illegible characters when checking your Arabic content!
Designed with complete mobile technology convergence in mind, the Galaxy Tab makes use of ‘Hubs’ to provide access to any and all content easily and quickly. 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. Other newly introduced ‘Hubs’ include the ‘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.
As with other Android™-powered devices from Samsung, the Galaxy Tab makes use of the ‘Social Hub’, providing always-on social networks connectivity allowing users to enjoy communications with their friends, colleagues, and families whenever they want and wherever they are.
“Being in the Middle East, the Tab includes native support for the Arabic language, something that has virtually always been lacking in similar product offerings, while Flash support is a first on a tablet device, allowing for a smoother and richer online experience,” continued Jun. “A myriad of connectivity features allow users to experience PC-like web browsing, multimedia content and push email support, while still being able to enjoy full telephony support.”
With 3G HSUPA connectivity, 802.11n Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 3.0, the Samsung Galaxy Tab enhances users’ mobile communication on a whole new level. Using the Tab’s 1.3MP front camera, users can engage in Video conferencing over 3G. Typing on the large 7-inch display with SWYPE texting makes email communication smoother and more efficient, while the Samsung Galaxy Tab can act as the perfect speakerphone on the desk when used for voice telephony, or a mobile phone on the move via Bluetooth headset.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab is the best portable solution for every lifestyle that needs a constant connection, giving users the power to consume, create and communicate from wherever they are.
