Galaxy Tab Applications Review

IMG_5552 Converged devices mean more functionality and, unfortunately for me, the need for much longer reviews! I’ve been working hard on the Galaxy Tab over the last few weeks and over at Carrypad I have just posted Part 2 of the full review where I cover things that some of you ‘mo-pros’ out there will be interested in. Browser details, office and PIM applications and the rest of the included Samsung software suite. It’s fair to say that Samsung have added a lot of good stuff to the user experience in terms of usability and functionality and it shows the way forward for Android tablets. Unfortunately, not many developers are taking 1024×600 into consideration so much of the software out there still works with small-screen layouts.

You’re getting a lot for your money though and at this stage I can say that if you’re not dependant on Windows software you should take a close look at the Tab. I’m finding it’s fitting in well between a smartphone (even a basic one) and a netbook in my 3-device strategy.

Part 1 of the full Galaxy Tab review is here. (Overview, hardware, features)

Part 2 of the full Galaxy Tab review is here. (Applications)

Part 3 will be published later this week

We’re discussing the Galaxy Tab in the forum here.

    Hi,

    how about the glossy aspect. Is the high reflecting surface suitable to work with?

    Its a disadvantage for productivity users but remember, you can add a matt screen protector to a glossy screen but you can’t make a matt screen glossy!
