Running on Wi-Fi: A First Look at Samsung's Galaxy Tab

This is just uh running on wi-fi so it will be once i connect to it let's go and see what sort of widgets they put on here. We do have one two three four five home screens by default. Let's see what samsung put on here. Let's go and jump into widgets and here's what we're gonna have. So AccuWeather, Clock, Analog Clock, Calendar, Calendar Clock, Daily Briefing, Feeds and Updates, Google Search, Home Screen Tips, Latitude, Market News, and Weather Picture Frame.

I'm really curious about how flash is going to work on a device, uh the size whether or not flash 10.1 is going to be a bit slow or not slow. So I'm going to connect this guy to my wi-fi network and let's check out how flash works. Alright so a few points of notice before I go and hook this up to wi-fi and show you a flash, you actually do have sort of a touchwiz looking away that the icons are shown here they're sort of encapsulated on their own. You go ahead and you can sort of scroll through horizontally to see those.

Of course it does have an accelerometer it looks to be extremely responsive as I rotate it it's very quick actually one of the faster rotating times that I've seen on android device. Interestingly enough it comes shipped and sort of already loaded on here with an active applications widget that sort of lets you manage uh your programs. Alright so now let's go and hook this thing up to wi-fi and see how flash works. Alright so we are hooked up to wi-fi, i went to my youtube channel youtube.com john4lakers. You can see that flash is actually really smooth here, uh that video is playing really well. Go ahead and let it play for a second.

This is really the first time I've seen flash on a mobile device at least playing a youtube video that isn't jumpy that really just works very smoothly. So a hat's off to samsung you go ahead and double tap to zoom in and out, and uh does work it's actually working out pretty decently. So i know the big question everybody wants to see at least I wanted to see were two things keyboard and Hulu. So I'll show you both those real quickly.

So first let me go ahead and tap the address bar here this is the keyboard looks very iphone-ish and of course when you rotate it, you go ahead and get a landscape version. And i'll be doing a sort of full thorough walkthrough on what this is going to look like in a keyboard and such but just take a real quick look at hulu since I'm curious if it plays I assume that you guys are as well. Let's go ahead and watch your favorite anytime and see if this uh see this works we'll figure it out together.

Uh live on video at least live for me you're watching this at another time. A browser is very snappy here on the galaxy tab it's certain typical android works well pinch to zoom works very well as well. So hello we noticed that you are trying to access it's currently not available working hard to support it continue to browse all right so I guess I'd probably take care of that question let's go ahead and see if it will let us play anything.

So here's a clip from oh whatever's loading here huluween let's go ahead and see what that will let us play although it does not look promising. So it does look like a no dice here uh for hulu playing the content didn't start. Let's just double check and try clicking one other video to see if we get something to uh to come up here of course again I'll be doing a full overview of the os showing you how the browser worked and showing the nuances of it. This is just a first look in the first power on I was really excited to see what it looked like I thought maybe you guys might be as well.

Actually looks like content is loading here let's see if it plays still loading we may actually have a full hulu support here on the galaxy tab get the setting control just popped up on the right. Still loading no oh that was such a tease video is currently unavailable we apologize for inconvenience so there is no hulu support here unfortunately and it does let you know again that you've got one application running. So if anything that you guys want to see in particular leave the comments down below.
