Hands on with Samsung's Galaxy Tab Tablet
Samsung's Galaxy Tab tablet is an interesting piece of hardware crippled by the fact it mostly runs blown-out smartphone applications.
By Harry McCracken, Technologizer Sep 6, 2010 12:00 am

Thursday morning at the IFA show here in Berlin, I attended a Samsung press conference and watched one of the company's executives brandish its new Galaxy S tablet. It was intriguing. But I had a much better time that evening at the Showstoppers press event, where I was able to spend some time exploring the Tab for myself.

The Galaxy Tab I tried clearly wasn't a done deal: Its touch-screen froze for several minutes then began to work again, and its browser didn't seem to want to load anything except Google. It's too early to come to any firm conclusions, but I did discover aspects I liked (the basic form factor, some of the software) and problem areas (other software).

I didn't really understand how the Galaxy Tab's 7-inch screen really compares to the iPad's 9.7-inch one until I saw them both in one place at one time. The Tab is half the size of the iPad -- more like a mass-market paperback book than a magazine. (It looked a tad chunky to me, but that was an optical illusion -- the thicknesses of the two gadgets are close to identical. Samsung uses the real estate on the edge for two SIM slots and one for MicroSD cards.)

Galaxy Tab and iPad

The Tab's compact size and trim weight (13.8 ounces vs. the iPad's pound and a half) make it a device you're much more likely to hold with one hand in Kindle-esque fashion. In theory, at least, it should be easier to use than the iPad when you're on the go. (The promotional video Samsung showed us involved busy young professionals running around town with their Tabs.)

The tablet's screen looked nice: The resolution is lower than that of the iPad (1024-by-600 vs. 1024-by-768) but the dots per inch are higher. Except for the period when the touchscreen didn't work at all, it was quite fluid -- the tablet may not have felt quite as snappy as an iPad, but it was certainly sufficiently zippy.

How's its keyboard? I've learned that it's dangerous to come to any firm conclusions based on a brief test at a trade show, but it seems to be reasonably good. The Tab is too small for the pseudo-touch typing that the iPad permits, but the keyboard layout is similar, and the keys are big enough that you can tap them without having to aim your fingers too precisely. And if you hold the Tab in portrait orientation, you can thumb-type without too much trouble, as if the Tab were a giant BlackBerry.

As seen on the Galaxy Tab, Android 2.2 Froyo looks pretty darn familiar. There's lots that Samsung has either left unchanged or tweaked only slightly, including the desktop, the sliding tray of apps, the widgets, the status bar along the top, and the alerts you can drag down with your finger.

But the company has also redone several applications to make better use of the Tab's much-bigger-than-a-smartphone screen, including the calendar, the very iPad-like e-mail, and the music app.

For e-reading, Samsung has licensed three different apps: PressDisplay for news, Kobo for e-books, and Zinio for magazines.

Galaxy Tab E-Reader

Zinio shows why the Tab's smallish screen isn't a good fit for every tablet purpose: The app is all about presenting magazines in their original form, but the Tab's display is so small that I couldn't read the text on pages shown in their entirety. And when I zoomed in, text was alarmingly grainy. (Zinio works much better on an iPad, where it's possible to read without zooming in and out.)

Galaxy Tab Reader

The Android Market app store is onboard the Tab: I downloaded and installed one piece of software (TIME's app). It ran as expected but didn't take advantage of the Tab's large screen-it looked like what it is, which is a stretched-out smartphone app rather than a tablet app.

Which brings me back to my biggest concern about the Galaxy Tab: It's an interesting piece of hardware, but it can't live up to its potential if it mostly runs blown-out smartphone applications. It wants programs that make use of its resolution and which incorporate interface elements which wouldn't make sense on a smartphone.

At Apple's Wednesday event, Steve Jobs said that there are now 25,000 iPad apps-ones that are tailored to the tablet. The best of them, such as Flipboard, are some of the most inventive software ever written. Even if the Galaxy Tab is a hit, it seems unlikely that it'll get vast quantities of applications built for it alone. It's going to take multiple popular Android tablets before third-party Android tablet apps have a shot at being even vaguely competitive with the iPad.

I hope that the Tab has lots of company before too long. For now, it looks like a decent first start...

(Full disclosure: I'm speaking on a couple of IFA panels, and the show is covering my travel costs to be here.)

It's a good point to make about blown up apps meant for the phone. When I had my iPad, I didn't bother to use any app not specifically written to take advantage of the screen. That is in my opinion a make or break problem that must be solved. The good news is I believe Google has this in mind in Android 3.0. Many of us with higher res Android devices now, such as my EVO, feel the screen could be better used, though it is better than good right now. Perfect... No. If I got this, I'd do exactly what I did when I got the iPad. I'd specifically look for apps that too advantage. That being said, I honestly don't think it will be too hard to get to that point. Developers are creative. I'd be willing to bet they will promptly make changes to accommodate these screens. I'd even opine that I think they will do it better than Apple did. The way Apple and their developers handle the screen isn't good at all. Many of the apps have a strip or panel system that I truly hated on one side and then a larger app space next to it. It takes the whole screen, but it wasn't an ideal solution either. Hopefully now that everyone has seen it, they will not implement the same horrible concept on the Android. I'd rather see something else for the Android.

After seeing your ACRONIS thumbs up support for their back-up (mirror) and recovery, I am suspicious whether PC world endorsement is real or commercially oriented. This Acronis software somehow makes 2nd HD disappear and only recovery (from their FAQ) is to re-format the 2nd drive. Acronis apparently knew about this since 2005 and you still endorsed it.

Now, if only it had a bigger screen, it would be a serious IPad killer!!

I don't know about the big screen size. I had two iPads. Honestly, I thought the screen was too big. It made it such that you don't want carry anything other than the iPad. This machine is half the size, which for me at least means I won't mind carrying it along with my laptop, not instead of my laptop.
The lesson learned from the iPad was that it truly could not replace, even for a few days, the need for a laptop.
I now like the idea of carrying around an EeePC 1201N netbook. After my iPad I'm on the fence more than ever. My Evo does so much already. I might just stick with the whole NetBook / SmartPhone combo for travel. I then have access to real world apps, which is what I need in the end anyway. Too many compromises with the iPad. There are less with the Galaxy, but I don't know if it will be enough to get me off the NetBook.

"I might just stick with the whole NetBook / SmartPhone combo for travel"
I have a feeling that after the tab novelty wears off, the "tab killer" will in fact be the old smartphone and netbook.
This is not about Apple v Android - its practicality v novelty.

If they can fix any remaining load lag and get more Android developers on board creating apps that take advantage of that screen size, this would be golden.
What would be even nicer is if the industry were to agree on a a few standard screen sizes. It would bring down the manufacturing cost of tablets as more manufacturers would jump on board to mass produce tablet screens for the entire industry. So far, it's the iPad, the Archos, and now the Samsung Tab.
That said, I'd also wait on Samsung's YP-MB2, an Android-based iPod Touch challenger which incidentally unlike its smartphone and tablet counterparts doesn't have official Google support.

I do just fine with a Galaxy S and a EeePC 1201N. The Galaxy S takes care of most communication services, and the netbook is used for office documents and those apps you'll never find in a smartphone (IDE, Inkscape...). So I don't see the niche the Tablets are trying to take. I do like touch screens, so the tablets look like fun, but I like small so that it goes with me everywhere. With a smartphone I never have to think " should I bring it with me ? "
However, there is always the work that I will leave exclusively for a full-size keyboard, mouse and 24" screen.

I don't think it has a chance. Contrary to phones cell service is not important in tablets. So the hole thing with Droid and Verizon is not going to work, only better apps than in the iPad will do the trick. And for that you need volume which they can only get by giving them away dirt cheap.

These manufacturing powerhouses in Korea, Taiwan, China and Japan are strong in hardware but have to depend on another company for software. However good Galaxy Tab is, it will succeed or fail on the merit of its software.

I also prefer the netbook/smart phone combo. Why? Well, when I travel and stay in an area for a week or more I prefer to have access to my 28" LCD screen and I can do that with my laptop just VGA cable it up and netbook becomes a 2 screen workhorse. Try opening a spreadsheet with thousands of columns and rows with an applie iPad! No thanks!

That plus my EVO 4G via Sprint Relay has unlimited data whereas the stupid AT&T applie Ipad limits $25 to 2 GB. Then again, the EVO 4G blows the 3G out of the water and as more areas are added that DSL speed is a deal breaker for me. Especially for $30 a month. Just connect your netbook via WiFi to the EVO 4G and get 4G speeds.

Tablets are nice sometimes though--such as at a breakfast table--especially if you have a stand for it so you can view it more easily. It will be nice when they get AMLOED screeds for a tablet then power is reduced and battery life will be larger. I actually prefer a larger tablet around 12" but no one makes one yet darn.

Only problem I see in the future for Android tablets is compatibility of software for each device. I think it'll be very hard for Android devices as a whole to equal iOS devices for stability, speed, ease of use, compatibility, etc.
I use an LG Ally, my friend has Motorola Droid (original). Mine is newer, but his Android device is so much more responsive. Overall it's much better experience than the Ally, but they are both Android 2.1 phones. Basically your mileage will vary with Android. And I've even seen apps on the Android store that are specifically for the Motorola Droid phones.
It's kind of like Windows and other software for it. Sure there are a basic set of requirements, but each computer/tablet is built by a different company and they do things differently. And we've all seen that slight hardware differences (video card on a computer, processor on tablets/smartphones) can make all the difference. What runs silky smooth on the Samsung Galaxy might not run as smooth on the LG (whatever they call it if they release a tablet).
While on the iPhone side, as long as you keep it in the same generation you're guaranteed that the app will run. It's just like Mac OS because Apple makes both the OS and the hardware it's easy to guarantee performance from system to system.
Not saying these Android tablets won't be good, but I don't buy all these claims of matching iOS devices. They'll never be as smooth as a whole.
