Samsung Galaxy Tab is Better than iPad in Certain Areas

When it comes to tiny tablets, Apple is no longer the only show in town. Hardware maker Samsung has stepped into the fray with its own 7-inch touchscreen device. While it look suspiciously similar, even identical, to the iPad, the Samsung Galaxy Tab makes some interesting improvements. For a start, the Android-powered device comes with front and rear-facing cameras, and supports Adobe Flash for browsing and applications. Powered by a Cortex A8 1.0GHz application processor, the Galaxy Tab can play HD video content in a range of multimedia formats (DivX, XviD, MPEG4, H.263, H.264 and more).

We recently got our hands on the first official hands-on video that contains a demonstration of every key feature and benefit of the Samsung Galaxy Tab. It also contains information of the most frequently asked features from social networking
sites.
