Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 – The iPad Killer?

Ever since Steve Jobs unveiled the first iPad in early 2010, the world of tablet computers is a hot one. All major manufacturers have jumped into the business, but none of them have managed to amass the popularity of Apple’s slab.

The latest contestant to enter the ring is Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. As the name implies, the device features a huge 10.1-inch Gorilla Glass display, offering 16M-colour at an amazing WXGA resolution. The tablet runs on Android 3.1 Honeycomb OS, with a healthy coating of TouchWiz UX user interface. Running on a dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9 processer and 1 GB RAM beating at its heart, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is primed to take on the Apple heavyweight. With a standard 3.5 mm jack, Flash 10.3 support, a 3.2 megapixel camera at the rear and a 2 megapixel one at the front, the Tab has all the right boxes ticked in the multimedia category.
But the most distinguishing feature of the device is the fact that it is the smallest tablet available in the world. At a meager 8.6mm, the ultra-lightweight Tab is thinner even than the iPad 2. This makes it the most portable of all slates on the market right now.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has been released in late August and is available for prices starting at Rs 32,000 for the 16 GB model and up to Rs 42,000 for the 64 GB model.
