Upcoming Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 versus Ipad 2

Samsung is due to launch this Spring the next generation of its popular Galaxy Tab. The new Galaxy Tab 10.1 will run Android Honeycomb 3.0 operating system designed specifically for tablets and uses a 1GHz dual-core processor with 16GB of storage space and 1 GB of DDR 2 RAM.

Unlike its predecessor, this new tablet version will have a bigger 10.1 inch display as opposed to 7 inch but will be thinner at 10.9 millimeter. As a result, it will gain some weight, from 380 grams to 599 grams in part due to new features such as its two cameras – a 2megapixel front-facing camera and an 8megapixel rear-facing. The device will support 4G connectivity, HSPA+ 21Mbps connectivity and will come with dual surround-sound speakers and HD video recorder.

The Galaxy Tab will be able to handle video conferencing via its dual webcams, make HD videos, use all of the Google standard features and run Adobe Flash Player as opposed to Apple’s Ipad.
