TECHNOLOGY

I was surprised when I discovered the Galaxy Tab 10.1 for the first time. Far from being a shelf at a discount, it displays an elegant and neat with quality materials. Moreover, the final version is very different from what I saw at the Mobile World Congress with some hardware greatly improved. Relatively speaking, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is quite close to the iPad 2, although it is lighter and thinner. Incidentally this is the day the tablet the finest in the world. Like the Motorola Xoom, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is equipped with the Nvidia Tegra platform double heart 2-1 GHz, which is also expected to guarantee good performance. As for regrets, there is a lack of standard USB ports and HDMI. Of course, Samsung is expected to propose an optional adapter that will plug into the proprietary connector. A USB adapter is of course provided, but in any case, it will be harder to replace.

We tested the WiFi version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1. This one lacks 3G and SD card reader. The version that is marketed also benefits from the interface Samsung TouchWiz UX that allows customizing the home screen as well as direct access to the most frequently used apps like task manager, calendar, or the player directly from a mini launcher. TouchWiz UX was not available for the tablet that we have obtained during Google I / O.
