The [**Samsung Galaxy Tab**][3]** **will be available to buy in the UK from
|
|
Monday 1 November, the company has announced. The new, much-publicised,
|
|
Android-based tablet draws heavily on Samsung's popular Galaxy S handset, and
|
|
is expected to be the first tablet to seriously challenge the dominance of the
|
|
Apple iPad.
|
|
|
|
Prices, however, will be left to mobile operators, [**Samsung**][4] says.
|
|
Although the manufacturer promises that tariffs will be "attractive", no
|
|
network would confirm its plans. Sources say, however, that it would be wrong
|
|
to expect Tab pricing to be similar to iPad pricing.
|
|
|
|
The Tab features a 7in touch-screen using HD, and a Readers Hub tied in to the
|
|
Kobo Books store, making the device a rival to eReaders such as the Amazon
|
|
Kindle, too. Unlike the iPad, the Tab also includes a phone, although Samsung
|
|
say they expect it to be used with a bluetooth headset.
|
|
|
|
The software, however, is likely to be the Tab's most popular feature. Android
|
|
FroYo 2.2 has not been significantly adjusted, which means that there are few
|
|
of the problems associated with other operators who have done more harm than
|
|
good in their bids to improve on Google's operating system. The Tab also
|
|
offers access to Apps via the Android Market.
|
|
|
|
Price, however, will be crucial to the Tab's success; data tariffs and the
|
|
simplicity of billing will be big hurdles.
