Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 with Android 4.0 – Ice Cream Sandwich

Samsung has officially unveiled its seventh Android tablet – the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, which is the first to come with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich from day one.
The Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) will be one of the first tablets available with Ice Cream Sandwich, which has a haltingly beautiful design and tons of new features like facial recognition unlocking that make using Android elegant and fun. The Galaxy Tab 2 will join Samsung’s diverse family of tablets like the Tab 8.9 and 10.1, which compete the best they can against Apple’s iPad, the most popular tablet in the world.

Like the original Galaxy Tab P1000 and the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, the Galaxy Tab 2 has a 7 inch display with 1024 x 600 pixels. Measuring 193.7 x 122.4 x 10.5 mm and weighing 344 grams.

One of the big selling points of the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 will be that it’ll come running Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) straight out of the box come March. The Galaxy Tab 2 we fondled was sometimes laggy to unlock or while booting up the hubs but on the whole, the 1GHz dual-core processor (and 1GB of RAM) coped just fine with Ice Cream Sandwich-flavoured multi-tasking.

 

 

Now Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 has three easily accessible hubs – Music Hub, Reader Hub and the new Video hub, to launch you into your digital world. The Video hub has 1000 movie and TV titles to rent or buy and we reckon it’ll easily take on similar entertainment offerings from Sammy’s competitors. Plus the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is one of the first tablets to get in on ‘allshare play’, Samsung’s entertainment-sharing set-up.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2’s 3MP rear facing camera takes surprisingly decent snaps with fairly realistic colours, though we should point out that it’s hard to be an exact judge under the unflattering lights of a convention centre. There’s also a VGA snapper on the front that’s good enough for video calls.

Following are the summary of Samsung Galaxy Tab 2’s features:

* TouchWiz / L!ve Panel UX
* HSPA+ 21Mbps (850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 MHz)
* Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct
* A-GPS
* Bluetooth v 3.0
* 3.5mm headset jack
* USB 2.0
* Samsung Hub
* Samsung ChatON
* 3MP rear camera
* VGA front-facing camera
* 1GHz dual-core processor
* 1GB (RAM)
* 8 / 16 / 32GB user memory
* microSD (up to 32GB)
* 4,000 mAh battery

iPad 3 Concept Design and Pictures

After the success of iPad 2, Apple is planning to release iPad 3. The latest iPad 3 rumor comes from China’s Economic Daily News, and suggests that the tablet could be released on February 24 to commemorate Steve Jobs, since this date is also his birthday. Suppliers are reportedly doing the best they can to ramp up production in an effort to have the tablet fully ready and in the quantities needed by Apple. Here are some iPad 3 concept design pictures and expected features for you all….

The new LCD screens will be QXGA displays with a 2048 x 1536 resolution, double that of the iPad 2?s 1024 x 768 resolution, and will maintain the 4:3 aspect ratio of previous iPad screens.

Retina Display: People were expecting a retina display with the iPad 2; but the iPad disappointed them with the same display of the previous iPad. Now followers are waiting for an iPad 3 with a retina display.

SD card slot: People are expecting revolution in Apple iPad 3 with SD card slot. Hopefully Apple may introduce SD card slot with iPad 3

Improved HDMI: Yes iPad 2 also supports HDMI playback but you need to have Apple Digital AV Adapter, and that is too at additional cost of $39. So it is much expected from iPad 3 to have HDMI port that eliminates additional requirement of HDMI cable.

Camera flash: Camera with the Flash is long awaited feature of iPad, people were expecting iPad 2 to have Camera flash, now we would be wonder if iPad 3 will not have Camera with Flash.

Thunderbolt: The iPad 3 may have Thunderbolt port. That will offer power, Video and data connectivity using the same connector at lightning speed.

Wireless Synchronize: People are expecting iPad 3 to offer wireless sync of content rather than traditional wired connectivity.

Steve Jobs through Pictures

Steve Jobs (1955-2011), who has died aged 56 following a long battle with pancreatic cancer, made an unprecedented impact on the world’s consumer electronics markets with a string of hit products, including the iPod, iPhone and iPad. In little over a decade, he took Apple (the company he co-founded in 1976) from near-bankruptcy to being the world’s second most valuable company by market capitalization.

Jobs had famously lured Sculley from Pepsi with the question, “Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?”

Apple iPad 3: Photos and Expected Features

According to the latest news, the Apple iPad3 will feature a new, thinner and sleeker design, down nearly 20 percent in size compared to the iPad 2. It will also support full touchscreen HD display with a screen resolution of 2048 x 1536. The iPad 3 will also have a lighter battery life, reducing the weight of the tablet.

A6 Processor

Now Apple is aiming to make the competition tougher by sporting an A6 Quad-core Processor in the iPad 3. This would make the iPad 3 as powerful as any high-end desktop.

 

iOS 5

The iPad 3 will come with the latest iOS 5, which will host the multi-touch gesture technology. However, analyst and tech enthusiasts predict that Apple would introduce OS X Lion for the tablet, since it will be powered by a quad-core processor.

 

Retina Display

Retina Display (after we’ve seen this function on the iPhone 4 we thought that iPad 2 will also going to have it but there wasn’t any, iPad 3 will probably come up with this improvement. With the Retina Display feature, the screen resolution of the iPad3 will be 2048 x 1536 pixels. However, it is said that the third version of the tablet is delayed due to Retina Display issues, and Apple is expected to ship the tablet in early 2012.

 

 

 

Cloud Computing

Apple will definitely include the iCloud technology in iPad 3. With iCloud users can store photos, apps, calendars and access songs on iTunes without having them to store in the phone’s memory.

 

 

Fingerprint has already been granted patents on this technology, and is working real hard to make the iPad3 fingerprint proof. The touch screen will be coated with oleophobic materials, which will reduce the oil and fingerprints on the screen.

 

 

 

 

 

Camera

The new tablet will come with LED flash to support the camera. The display comes with a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution display that can enable HD 1080p capability for watching high def movies on its 9.7 inch LCD screen.
