Aesthetic comparisons to the well-established iPad will be inevitable as the tablet market gets ever more saturated, so where the now official 10-inch Galaxy Tab 10.1 hopes to compete is on the inside. Let’s take a peek.
First of all, forget “Galaxy Tab 2.” Doesn’t exist! The name’s Galaxy Tab 10.1. So sterile! So accurate, given this guy’s dimensions.
Although the Tab 10.1 is in fact a quarter pound lighter than its Apple competitor at 1.25-lbs., what’s going on inside marks the biggest difference. Android’s made-for-tablets Honeycomb OS and a Tegra 2 processor make this dual-core tablet go go go, while everything is presented to the user via a 10.1″ WXGA TFT LCD display with 1280 x 800 resolution.
Nitty gritty specs from Samsung follow. Samsung told us in their release that they are not final and could change without warning, like New England weather or a loved one’s mood on Valentine’s Day:
