]]> http://e-bookvine.com/what-is-new-in-kindle-store-922010/feed/ 0 Samsung Galaxy Tab as an eReader http://e-bookvine.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-as-an-ereader/ http://e-bookvine.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-as-an-ereader/#comments Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:33:32 +0000 eBookvine http://e-bookvine.com/?p=3006 SlashGear got it’s hand on Samsung Galaxy Tab – a 7″ touch screen tablet which runs Android 2.2. According to SlashGear:

The 1024 x 600 touchscreen is bright, colorful and responsive, while the TouchWiz 3.0 UI is familiar for anyone that has used the latest Galaxy S family of smartphones……..Samsung has tweaked various parts of the native Froyo experience to better suit the Tab’s display and form-factor.

The device will have access to official Google Market as well as Samsung’s own Android market. The applications installed:

  • email
  • Calendar
  • 3-megapixel camera
  • Front-facing video camera
  • 3G, Wifi & Bluetooth
  • Kobo reader
  • Zinio reader
  • Press Display

As you can see the device comes with one ebook reader (Kobo), one e-magazine reader (Zinio), and one e-newspaper reader (Press Display). This will make Galaxy Tab one of the best Tablet next to iPad with a lower price tag even tough the price has not been announced. I’m going to say it’s the best ereader, because it’s not. It’s LCD touch screen just like iPad, and we still don’t know the battery life. It can best be described as an iPad alternative. It can serve ereading purpose for casual reader.

It’ll be available in UK towards the end of September.

Here is the link to the press release.

Here is the 8 minute-long video hands-on from SlashGear:

  • PRS 350 – Pocket Edition
  • PRS 650 – Touch Edition
  • PRS 950 – Daily Edition

Accoring to CrunchGear,

  • All three editions have new Pearl eInk display
  • All have Improved touch-sensitive layer
  • All of them come with styli
  • They have been redesined – slim, sleek, and weight less than half a pound
  • Each has 2GB internal memory & SD card/Memory Stick Pro slot
  • Only Daily Edition have both 3G+Wifi
  • Pocket and Touch Editions don’t have any wireless connectivity
  • Pocket Edition has 5″ display, Touch Edition 6″ and Daily Edition 7″
  • Price: Pocket Edition – $179, Touch Edition – $229 and Daily Edition$299
  • Daily Edition will be available in November, 2010

CrunchGear’s comment on these three devices are appropriate, I think:

I mean, they look like great devices, but the Kindle is really killing them on price, and I think price is the main driver of e-reader sales, not features. Brushed aluminum and touch navigation are great, but I just don’t see a big market for them when everyone else is racing down to under a hundred bucks.

Engadget has a video review here. I couldn’t embed the video here since they don’t allow that.
