    Multimedia Features

    1. Camera Equipment - Shooting mode: Single, Continuous, Panorama, Smile, Self-timer Flash: Auto photo light, On, Off, EV: -2 to +2; settings: Resolution: 3.2M (2048x1536), w24M (2048x1232), 2M (1600x1200 ), 1.5 M (1600x960), w 0, 6M (1024x600), 0.4M (800x600), White Balance: Auto, Daylight.

    2. Camera quality - The results of the 3.2-MP camera is quite convincing. Good results could be recorded in panoramic images in normal external light, then color fidelity, contrast and noise characteristics in order. The focus is satisfactory. If it is very close to the motif, it is unclear - this fails because of the built-in Auto Focus.

    3. Video Camera Equipment - Recording Mode: Normal, limit for MMS, photo light: on / off, brightness: -2.0 to +2.0; setting Video: White Balance: Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent; Effects: Normal, Negative, Black / White , Sepia, Video Quality: Fine, Normal, Home Audio recording: on / off, check: on / off, shutter sound: Sound 1, out; memory: phone, memory card, reset post-processing options: sharing: AllShare, Bluetooth, email, Gmail, News, YouTube, to delete start; details: name, type, recording date, album, city, latitude, longitude, No direct post-processing options such as cutting or pasting data possible.

    4. Video Quality - Interestingly, the video function is managed much better - usually it is the other way around. The tab offers a good definition, relatively with smooth movements and at an acceptable noise. Also, if you're close to the motif, it provides a fairly sharp image. Only when it is dark and the daylight decreases, the cam has limitations. Objects are barely recognizable, the rush to gain the upper hand and colors are attenuated.

    5. Facilities of the built-in Music Player - Format: MP3, WMA, MPEG, forward, rewind, pause, stop, songs, playlists: favorites, played most frequently, recently played, recently added, albums, artists, genres, Add to playlist, giving information about Bluetooth, News, Email , Gmail, settings: EQ: Off, Auto, Rock, Pop, Jazz, Classical, Dance, Live, Equalizer (effective 8-band graphic EQ), Effect: Off, Wide, concert hall, music clarity, bass boost, externalization; Music menu: albums, artists, genres, composers, years. You can adjust the Music Player menu directly for music and set it as a ringtone.

    6. Sound quality of the music player - The speakers were placed on the side of the Samsung Galaxy Tab. They allow a great play, though this is relatively limited as regards to the level. There are no annoying noise. Unlike many phones you can use the 5.1 simulation, even if the device's internal speakers is used. But you have to go to EQ and effects and turn it "off". If you use the headphone, then the Samsung Galaxy Tab is quite convincing. If you use the EQ and turn the effects settings to "off", you can use the very successful 5.1 Simulation that provides a truly stunning surround sound. With great dynamism, strong but not too dominant and flawless bass with low noise is observed.

    7. Radio yes / no, sound quality of Radio - On the Android Market Place there are similar applications, "standard" radio apps is not installed.

    8. Storage of the memory card - 16 GB internal memory, expandable to 32 GB via Micro SD memory cards.

    9. Multimedia Results - The camera equipment, which is done by the touch operation, has easy to use, useful and valuable additional settings. The quality of results for the 3.2 MP camera is quite amazing. Since a flash is integrated, it also achieves good results in the dark. The music player is quite clearly designed and easy to use. Playlists are created quickly and easily. A radio was not integrated. The Galaxy Tab has 16 GB of internal memory and Micro SD cards, can be extended to up to 32 GB.

    Handling / Menus

    1. One-hand operation for key functions possible - Yes, partially.

    2. Call execute (with menu "contacts") - Easy execution of a call using the saved contacts. As with all Android-based smartphones / Tablet PCs, a Google account can be set up to even use your own contact information.

    3. Adding / Creating / editing contacts - Contacts can be edited, created or added easily.

    4. Readability of the display - On the day and at night, users can easily read from the display. In direct sunlight or exposure to light, there seems to be little restrictions on the readability that can be tolerated, as well noted on most other mobile phones. There is also strong reflections of the display because of the glossy display surface.

    5. Pressure point of the keypad / reaction of the touch screen - The response of the touchscreen runs smoothly and precisely.

    6. Handling the navigation elements to prospect the menus - Na.

    7. Clarity of the menu - Quite a lot of menu items, which appear clearly but only after a period of acclimatization. For experienced users, this is however not a problem.

    8. Scope of the menus - Many Newcomers will first have to find their way around - after a few days of use everything will be back to normal and quite suited.

    9. The design of the menus - Beautiful graphic design with easily identifiable menu icons that are big enough to be targeted for selection with a tap.

    10. Opportunity for the assignment of shortcut keys - It is relatively easy to use the menu items such as for speed dial that can be put on the display very easily.

    11. Message Handling - Writing language: Cestina, German, Greek, English, Spanish, Estonian, French, Hungarian,, Italian, etc; XT9 (predictive text): on / off, XT9 advanced settings: word completion, word completion point, error correction, forecast next word, automatically attach car - Replace, regional corrections, re-start: on / off, XT9 - my words; XT9 - automatic replacement, automatic point (point automatically insert by double tapping the space bar): on / off, Automatic Capitalization: on / off, voice input: on / off, exercise, Annex: image, video, record audio, pictures, record video, slides, contacts, calendar, memo, subject to add, insert smiley, text import, brightness settings, discard it. By moving the finger across the keyboard texts can be written, without having to lift a finger between letters and lower and again.

    12. Service photo and video camera - The 3.2 MP photo / video camera is quite easy to operate via touchscreen. However, the size of the Samsung Galaxy Tab is somewhat cumbersome to use. The settings are useful and sufficient. No user should be overwhelmed and can still achieve one or another snapshot in normal lighting conditions.

    13. Operation of Music Player - The music player is clearly arranged and easy to handle. A playlist is created quickly and the other settings can also be found easily.

    14. Reading from memory cards - MicroSD cards supports up to 32 GB are read from Samsung Galaxy Tab rapidly, and existing data (where the format and file type possible) presented problems.

    15. Results - Overall, the Galaxy Tab requires a little familiarization time when a less experienced user uses it for the first time. The clearly marked menu icons can be commended as well and the easy operation of the camera and the simple downloading of the new apps from the Android Marketplace is also to be noted and scores points. Anyone with a Google account can also quickly import all contacts stored there.

    The controls on the Galaxy Tab

    Overall Conclusion

    The Samsung Galaxy tab is currently without a doubt one of the best Tablet PCs, which are available on the market. The built-in telephone function and the good camera, which is interesting and outstanding especially in video mode delivers great results. The Android 2.2 device (Samsung promises later, to implement future versions of Android) for the tablet is rather compact and not too heavy. The display is very good, only the black level is not perfect. With the combination of fast processor and sufficient memory, the tablet runs at greater speed without any time delays. The flexibility of playing back media data is high, the acoustic qualities are also well above the average. Only when using the phone function, the sonic benefits are not very exciting. Whether through speakers or headset, the voice always sounds tinny and shallow. The workmanship is very clean, the price is fair for bids.

    At this moment I have not seen much of the users saying that they are using Skype on Galaxy Tab and I am of the opinion that Samsung is working on the same. If you want to give it a try then you can download Skype from the official site www.skype.com of if you want you can get the same downloaded from Android market. Not lot of success has been reported I have seen some of the users can make call but the video feature is lacking at the moment.

    It still remains a question whether Samsung galaxy tab android supports Skype or not. Many are saying that it is not recommended to install skype on a 2.1 Android OS. But few people who were able to install on 2.2 froyo version were not able to video call, it was giving them some error. Also most of the users are not able to find Skype in the Android Marketplace. I guess we will have to wait till Skype is officially launched at its market place.
