Samsung Galaxy Tab

Samsung has announced that the release of the Galaxy Tab in South Korea has been delayed pending software updates. The manufacturer was supposed to be announcing the device on October 14, but is choosing instead to “equip the device with better localized applications for the domestic market.”

It’s a bit of a surprise that Samsung is just now deciding to do this, especially given the fact that their HQ is located in South Korea. However, Samsung is insiting that the press event will only be pushed back another week or two, so stay tuned.

Have you recently come into $400 dollars of extra cash and aren’t exactly sure what to do with it? You certainly wouldn’t want to do something sensible, like put it in the bank, or use it to buy Christmas presents.

Instead, you know you want to spend it on the new HP Photosmart eStation C510 printer, which comes with its very own Android tablet which acts as a “wireless digital companion and control panel for remote printing.”

The tablet is reportedly pretty sub-par, but what do you expect for something that comes in a package that’s only $400 bucks. Look on the bright side though, now you can check your email while you’re waiting for your TPA report to print.

Chinese manufacturer ZTE is making their way to the Android tablet market with the ZTE X9. This tablet is 7″, like the comparable Samsung Galaxy Tab, with three keys for menu, home, and back. It will run Android 2.1 that has been slightly customized to fit the bigger screen, as well as support 3G radio and WiFi connectivity. A 3-megapixel camera is featured on the front for video conferencing as well as on the back.

No other specs have been released at this time, but the ZTE X9 looks to be a great option for those who want an Android tablet that is slightly more affordable than the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Android taking over iPad

Apple seems pretty confident that they are going to keep the iPad at the top of the tablet market well into 2011. We know otherwise, but so does Gene Munster who is a Senior Research Analyst with Piper Jaffray.

He states that although Apple has geared up to push 45 million iPads next year, he predicts that number to be half based on their research at Piper Jaffray. Interestingly enough, they also see Android positioning itself on the top of the tablet market.

There isn’t much us Android junkies don’t already know about the highly-anticipated Samsung Galaxy Tab. However, the above image which seems to have been produced by a T-Mobile dealer confirms one of the things we’ve all been wondering; Price.

The dealer price for the Galaxy Tab comes out to $649.99 or $399 with a two year contract with T-Mobile. The contract price is just a little bit cheaper than a 16GB Apple iPad with an AT&T contract attached to it.

Speaking of, hit the break to see a head-to-head comparison chart between the Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Apple iPad.

Verizon user guide on Samsung Galaxy Tab shows it can do calls and uses Google Search

Maybe we’ll get to see silly people holding giant phones (tablets) against their heads to make phone calls afterall.  Droidlife got a sneak peak at the user guide for Verizon’s Samsung Galaxy Tab and discovered that it was capable of making phone calls despite reports that the U.S. version of the device would not have this feature.  Whichever the case, I’m sure the more determined users will find ways to look goofy and make calls through hacks or other VoIP applications.

Another thing to note in the user guide was the mention of Google Search.  Verizon definitely has some type of deal with Microsoft since they have now replaced the default Google Search engine with Microsoft Bing in a few phones already – like the Samsung Fascinate and LG Vortex.  So it’s nice to see that Google Search will still hold its ground on the first major Android tablet device.

Of course, what Verizon-branded device would be complete without the Verizon app suite.  Yup, that’s right, the Samsung Galaxy Tab will also have VZ Navigator and VCAST Music and Videos.  Also making an appearance is the Kindle app, ThinkFree Office Suite, NFL Mobile, and Slacker.  I guess since the Samsung Galaxy Tab will be launched on or around November 1st on most major carriers, they need to try to make theirs stand out some way or another.

Samsung Galaxy Tab

The word on the street is that the Samsung Galaxy Tab may launch November 1st 2010 at Verizon Wireless. This of course is a rumor, but seems possible as we know they’re releasing it in UK on that same day. We’ve also heard that Sprint will be launching on November 14th, but again, that’s a rumor.

I guess we just have to be patient and wait until we hear more from our beloved carriers on when the sought after Samsung Galaxy Tab will actually become available in the U.S. Yeah right, us?…be patient…?
