The Very First 4.1, 4.2, 4.2.1 Unlock & Jailbreak software released for the iPhone 3G, 3Gs and iPhone 4

Although jailbreaking and unlocking both provide added benefits to an iPhone, jailbreaking a mobile phone is different from unlocking. Jailbreaking is generally risk-free, as it only adds features to a mobile phone that is otherwise fixed on the exclusive functionalities that its manufacturer provides. With an unlocked and jailbroken iPhone, users can explore of what their iPhone can offer. For these reasons, unlocking and jailbreaking iPhones have evolved to be a trend among iPhone owners.

Apple iPad 2 2010 Rumours Round up


Speculation surrounding the Apple iPad 2 has been rife over the last couple of weeks, Apple has been filing all sorts of patents. First there was the carbon fibre back, then the slide out keyboard, various indicators of dual cameras and a spate of silicone cases to support speculation of new USB and SD ports.

The Apple iPad - A new device for recent years

IPad is a new revolutionary device released by Apple and it’s a mix of the iPhone to Apple, Apple iTouch, and a full notebook or a laptop. Using the touch screen you can use the Internet for research applications along with the audio and video features by this new Apple iPad device. In recent years Tablet PC Apple was presented at the press conference for Apple, where many people have seen the recent outbreak of Apple. It is the same as the Apple iPhone but some visitors’ waits to the features on the iPad tablet latest version of Apple.

The target of the Nexus S

By Michael Heller

As I wrote before, I find it hard to believe that Google ever expected or planned for the Nexus One to be a commercial success. The Nexus One was the pinnacle of a phone designed and distributed for the tech elite, early adopters and other geeks. No one else would be willing to brave buying a phone sight unseen from a web store. No one else would be likely to do the research needed to understand the benefits of the stock Android experience. No one else would be likely to look past the fairly utilitarian UI after seeing the far prettier options like the Sense UI from HTC. Now, Google is distributing the Nexus S to the masses via Best Buy and Carphone Warehouse, but, as far as I see, it’s still a geek-only device.

Android 3.0: Coming In March?

In the world of Android, things can move pretty fast.

Case in point: Just weeks ago, Google took the wraps off of Android Gingerbread, the latest and greatest version of its mobile operating system. Aside from the newly launched Samsung Nexus S device, no phone even has the software yet -- heck, plenty of users are still waiting for the Android 2.2 upgrade -- but that's not stopping people from looking even further ahead.

PlayStation App on the way to Android and iPhone

Tens of thousands of early Windows Phone 7 adopters are enjoying connectivity with their Xbox Live account, but that's going to seem like small potatoes when Sony delivers PlayStation integration to millions of existing smartphone owners.

The PlayStation app is going to revolutionize the mobile game space. At least, that's what Sony hopes. In this world of iPhone and Android gaming, it only makes sense for the juggernauts of console gaming to start making a presence.

Windows Phone 7 Sales Reach 1.5 Million

Android and iOS fanatics are likely to be all smiles today.  Microsoft's at last released a figure related to the sales of Windows Phone 7 devices, and it's not anything that'll have investors dumping their shares of Google and Apple in order to get behind Steve Ballmer.

A quick refresher: on December 8th, Android guru Andy Rubin tweeted that more than 300,000 Android phones were being activated each day.  Also, Apple announced not too long ago that 14.1 million iPhones were sold in the third quarter of this year, which works out to about 157,000 per day.

Review: iPad has surprising challenger in Samsung Galaxy Tab featuring Android OS

As a Samsung Galaxy S smartphone owner (specifically, the T-Mobile Vibrant S), I was eager to get my hands on a Galaxy Tab from Verizon Wireless and smudge up the 7-inch touchscreen a bit. To be fair, I had reservations about the Tab from the first time I heard it was coming.

My Galaxy S phone, although a nice piece of hardware, has lacked in the software department. Nearly five months later, I'm (and the rest of the United States) is still awaiting an Android 2.2 update promised numerous times, and the Samsung TouchWiz UI its a bit cumbersome and prone to lag.

HTC Wildfire getting Froyo update over the next couple months

Good news for you folks with the non-U.S. version of the HTC Wildfire: Your Froyo update is on the way. OK, so's Christmas. But, really, it's coming. HTC said so on its Facebook page this morning:

"We know many of you have been asking for information about an update for your Wildfire. Well, we have good news! Android 2.2 (aka Froyo) on Wildfire is scheduled to begin rolling out this week in Europe, reaching all areas of the world by February. Thanks for your patience as these updates roll out; we think you’ll enjoy the final product."

Google Releases Android ‘Gingerbread’ 2.3 Source Code – Hackers, Start Your Engines


Developers supporting the various mobile operating systems on the market are crucial to their success. For instance, without developers, Apple’s App Store would never have gotten as popular as it is today as there would be no Doodle Jump and certainly no Angry Birds. Luckily, there are a whole slew of dedicated developers producing software for iOS and Google’s Android is no different.

Is Honeycomb Being Released as Android 2.4 this February


It’s long been believed that the next iteration of Android – after the newly-launched Gingerbread 2.3 - would be Android 3.0. Honeycomb is to change the way people see and use Android, if not period then for a better tablet experience. From what we’ve seen so far in leaks and cameo appearances, Honeycomb definitely looks like enough of a jump to consider it more than just another incremental release.

Samsung reportedly suspends Galaxy S Vibrant update to Android 2.2


If you live in Canada and happen to own the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant smartphone, hopefully you didn?t already update it to Android 2.2 because many people are reporting issues with upgrading. In fact, the issues are so prevalent that Samsung has temporarily pulled all future Android 2.2 updates to the Canadian Vibrant until the issue can be further examined.

Android 2.3 source code goes up for developers

As promised with the launch of the Nexus S, Google's Open Source Project on Friday posted the source code for Android 2.3. The move both lets developers modify the base OS but also gives the go-ahead to companies making devices without the Google blessing needed for Android Market or certain official apps.

E Fun intros Nextbook Next3 Android budget tablet


E Fun just announced the addition of a new tablet under its Nextbook brand, the Next3. It uses an 8.4-inch touchscreen and runs on Android 2.1. The tablet can access YouTube, browse the web and the Borders eBook store through Wi-Fi.

Users can also download third-party apps, although it's not explicit whether or not it supports Android Market. E Fun builds in 2GB of memory with an SD card slot. Speakers are built-in, and the company preloads 25 e-books to get users started.

The Nextbook Next3 ships this week, priced at $230, and includes a protective pouch with a magnetic flap.

Android 3.0 Gingerbread Has Google-Built Augmented Reality?

Google next version of its Android platform -- Honeycomb 3.0, not Gingerbread 2.3 (that's so last week) -- will feature a Google-built augmented reality application that outshines anything on the market today, according to Arab-language Android blog Ardroid. Citing a source who claims to have used the upcoming operating system, which was first publicly shown off by Android founder Andy Rubin on an unannounced Motorola tablet at last week's D: Dive Into Mobile conference, the site claims that the alleged app will make Layar (pictured above) and friends look "weak and pathetic" in comparison.

Android 2.3 Gingerbread ported to HTC HD2

Developers on XDA have apparently managed to get Android 2.3 Gingerbread booting on an HTC HD2, just a day after the OS was launched and the SDK released. Several members had independently been working on a port since user spbeeking uploaded a copy of the Gingerbread system.img file extracted from the SDK, but it was DarkStone1337 who provided the final piece of the puzzle in the form of a modified inti.rc file. However, since DarkStone is unable to release any actual builds due to time constraints, he is leaving further development up to the rest of the community --meaning that no simplified package yet exists for end users to...

iPad 2 shipping early February

NEW YORK (Reuters) -Chinese electronics maker Foxconn Electronics, a manufacturer of Apple Inc's products, plans to begin shipping the new version of the iPad tablet device, known as iPad 2, as early as the end of February, DigiTimes reported on Tuesday. The report, citing unnamed sources from the Taiwan-based components maker, said Apple originally planned to start mass production in January.

iPad & Nexus One can live together

If you fly, you likely know how tough it can be in certain airports to find anywhere to charge your phone and computer. It's 2010, people. It's a little ridiculous. The good news: Delta just announced that it's installing charging stations at 19 airports, including seven domestic hubs. There will be two stations at each gate, with six 110-volt outlets and two USB ports at each station. Airports to be included: Atlanta, Cincinnati, Detroit, Memphis, Minneapolic/St. Paul, JFK, Salt Lake City, Boston, Columbus, Hartford, Indianapolic, LAX, Nashville, Norfolk, Omaha, Pittsburg, Portland, Seattle and St. Louis. That's all well and good. But what really made our cold hearts warm up a little was the picture you see above, with the Google Nexus One and the Apple iPad charging together. What a wonderful world. (And we bet the guy on the left was enjoying a nice Flash game. [Delta]

Huawei IDEOS Google Android 2.2 Froyo Smartphone




The Huawei Ideos does everything right to create a cheap phone with plenty of smarts. It's not going to take on the big, beautiful Samsung Galaxy S, but it's got an even newer version of Android and should only cost about £100 on pay as you go. We'll take ten!

The Ideos isn't in shops yet, and since Huawei isn't a well-known brand here, it will probably get renamed by the network that brings it to the UK. It should still be called the Ideos, though, so look for it on pay as you go for between £99 and £129.

All the Android

Huawei says it worked closely with Google to make the Ideos, which is evident in the Google logo that graces the back of the phone. This phone is pure Android 2.2 Froyo, the latest version of Google's operating system. That means you have all the latest features, except one -- there's no Flash on the Ideos. It just doesn't have the processing power to support Flash, sadly. But it does have all the rest of the goodies that come with the latest version of Android.

That means seamless support for Gmail, Google Maps, email and heaps more built-in features. If that isn't enough for you, you can download more apps from the Android Market. There can be something of a 'Wild West' feel to the Android app store, with amateurs vying with the big brands for the top of the apps charts. But, if you can find the best Android apps, you can make your phone do almost anything you can imagine, from opening Office documents to sending digital postcards. There's also a great official Facebook app and several excellent Twitter clients, including an official one.

The untouched version of Android and the partnership with Google means we can trust Huawei when it says you will get prompt updates for the phone as soon as new versions of the OS come out.

But don't think that, just because Huawei has avoided adding its own skin to Android, you won't be able to customise the Ideos. The Android user interface is so flexible you can personalise the phone every which way. There are lots of wallpapers -- including touch-sensitive and animated ones -- included, or you can use your own photos. Fill the five scrolling home screens with shortcuts to programs or specific contacts, or with widgets that update with live news and your social network activity. Setting up five home screens may be overkill for some people, but if you like to fiddle with your technology, you're guaranteed hours of fun tweaking the Ideos.

Cheap and cheerful

Of course, the Ideos does make sacrifices to keep its price down. The case isn't hideous, but it's cheap and plasticky. The large, round navigation key -- which Google loves to see on its phones -- isn't as sexy as the optical trackpad that you get on the HTC Wildfire. Like the Wildfire, the Ideos suffers from a low-resolution 320x240-pixel screen, which makes things look blurry.

In saying that, the Wildfire costs twice as much as the Ideos on pay as you go, despite its similar budget-Android target. With the Ideos, most of the important features are in place. The screen is responsive when you touch it, and it's capacitive, so you don't need to press too hard. The small, 71mm (2.8-inch) screen makes things pretty pokey, especially the on-screen keyboard, but good predictive text means it's still very usable.

The camera is another place where the Ideos skimps and saves. It's only 3.2 megapixels, with no LED photo light, but it does shoot stills and video, so you won't be short of a snapper when you really need one. Android also makes sharing a doddle, with support for uploading video to YouTube and photos to Facebook, among other services. Just be sure to pick up a microSD memory card to store your snaps, because we don't expect the phone to come with one.

Punching above its weight

The Ideos looks very similar to the HTC Tattoo, a cheap Android phone that we loved when it came out last year. Although they could be twins, the Ideos comes out on top because of its responsive, capacitive touchscreen and its up-to-date version of Android. And did we mention it costs around £100 on pay as you go? That alone could have us cuddling up to the Ideos, and, among its rivals at that price, it looks even more attractive.


On top of the bountiful Android features and apps, the Ideos doesn't skimp on connectivity. It has the latest 802.11n Wi-Fi standard and 7.2Mbps HSPA for fast Web surfing over 3G. Bluetooth and a mini-USB port both come in handy for swapping files, while a standard 3.2mm headphone jack means you can use any pair of cans.

Conclusion

The Huawei Ideos may skimp on a low-res screen and camera, but it's made exactly the right moves in bringing Android to the masses. 802.11n Wi-Fi and HSPA combine with the latest version of the Android OS to give the Ideos the leg-up on most other phones, at any price. Although you'll miss out on Flash Player, you won't regret saving some dosh on this responsive, usable phone.

Awaken

We were given so many prizes
We changed the desert into oasis
We built buildings of different lengths and sizes
And we felt so very satisfied
We bought and bought
We couldn't stop buying
We gave charity to the poor 'cause
We couldn't stand their crying
We thought we paid our dues
But in fact
To ourselves we're just lying

Oh...I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I'm walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

We were told what to buy and we'd bought
We went to London, Paris and Costa Del Sol
We made show we were seen in the most exlusive shops
Yes we felt so very satisfied

We felt our money gave us infinite power

We forgot to teach our children about history and honor
We didn't have any time to lose
When we were.. (were)
So busy feeling so satisfied

I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I'm walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

We became the visuals without a soul
despite the heat
Our homes felt so empty and cold
To fill the emptiness
We bought and bought
Maybe all the fancy cars
And bling will make us feel satisfied

My dear brother and sister
It's time to change inside
Open your eyes
Don't throw away what's right aside
Before the day comes
When there's nowhere to run and hide
Now ask yourself 'cause Allah's watching you

Is He satisfied?
Is Allah satisfied?
Is Allah satisfied?
Is Allah satisfied?

Oh..I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I'm walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

Android 3.0 Gingerbread tablets close to January CES debut



HTC, Motorola, Acer and Asus are set to show off Android 3.0 Gingerbread tablets at the Las Vegas CES trade show in January next year, according to a report from Taiwanese website Digitimes.

According to the source, we should also see a Gingerbread version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab in the new year. Google has just notified partners that Android 3.0 will soon be completed, with related engineer samples showing up in December. Although the Galaxy Tab and a plethora of other slates will reach us in November with Android 2.1 and 2.2, Android 3.0 is already being earmarked as the version that could really show what these devices are capable of.

LG has already killed off plans to make a Froyo tablet in favour of releasing one with Gingerbread, while we are now fully expecting Motorola to come out with some sort of Droid Terminator super phone early next year. We had a quick taste of what Gingerbread could offer us yesterday -- a graphical overhaul, hardware acceleration and video chat are just some of the rumoured features you can expect to see.

Being Google Android, the development is obviously not going to stop here. The report also said you should expect to see Android 4.0 in the second half of 2011. Some of you are a little frustrated that Google is moving so fast, considering many of you are stuck on earlier versions of the operating system. But you may have to argue this with carriers and manufacturers, as Android development doesn't show any signs of slowing to wait for the stragglers.

At the moment, the BlackBerry PlayBook and iPad are the only slates stopping Android making a bid for tablet domination next year. Microsoft could have something to say, but tablets running Windows 7 haven't been all that impressive so far. Meanwhile, Redmond has its plate full just trying to push Windows Phone 7 as a viable smart phone OS.

Next month, we will see the first wave of Android tablets making their debut, led by the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Are tablets even your thing? Are you lot going to buy Froyo for the Christmas season, or wait for the Gingerbread frenzy?

Samsung Galaxy Tab review



It seems like a long time since Apple's iPad propelled tablets headfirst into the mainstream consciousness. In fact, it was released in the UK only five months ago. Since then, we've been bracing ourselves for the inevitable tsunami of rival tablets from other manufacturers. The first offering to appear on the crest of that mighty wave is the Samsung Galaxy Tab, which runs version 2.2 of Google's Android operating system.

The Tab will be released on 1 November. Pricing for the Tab, which will come in 16GB and 32GB versions, is far from certain, but Carphone Warehouse is offering a model with unspecified memory for £530 unlocked and SIM-free, or £500 on a contract with TalkMobile, as part of which you'll pay £10 per month for 1GB of data on a 30-day rolling contract. By way of comparison, the 16GB iPad with 3G and Wi-Fi costs £530.

Can the Tab duff the iPad up good and proper? Let's find out.

Lucky number seven

Measuring 120 by 191 by 12mm, Samsung's 7-inch tablet is significantly smaller than Apple's 9.7-inch device. There's only a couple of inches between the screen sizes of the two machines, but it actually makes a huge difference -- the Tab is about half the size of the iPad.

On the whole, the Tab's design is good. It's well-built and, at 380g, reassuringly weighty. Unless you have the weak arms of Mr Burns, you'll find holding the Tab up with one hand perfectly comfortable.

On the Tab's right-hand side, you'll find two slots, for a SIM card and microSD card. The Tab comes in 16GB and 32GB flavours, and you can expand that out-of-the-box storage by up to 32GB if you're prepared to shell out for a microSD card. That means you can potentially have a total of 64GB of storage. Also on the Tab's right-hand side are mechanical volume keys and a button that's used to lock the device or wake it up when you're ready to start using it again.

On top, there's only one feature -- a 3.5mm socket for plugging in your headphones. We approve of the Tab's barren bonce, as your headphones' jack won't get in the way of anything else you might want to connect, such as the Tab's 30-pin charging and PC-connection port, which is located on the bottom of the device.

Also along the bottom, you'll find four touch-sensitive buttons (menu, home, back and search) that will be familiar to anyone experienced with Android devices. Each button glows white while you're using the Tab. We were initially wary of these touch-sensitive buttons -- often they turn out to be less responsive than physical keys. But the Tab offers haptic feedback, so you feel a vibration with each button press, which helps in terms of responsiveness. The lack of physical buttons also means that the front of the Tab is completely smooth.

Thin it to win it

The Tab isn't as slender as we'd hoped, at just shy of 12mm at its thickest point. It's not disastrously podgy, though, and Samsung has given the Tab a curved back, so it's slimmer at the edges, which is where you'll be gripping it.

The second design hiccup is the bezel that surrounds the Tab's 7-inch display. Between the very edge of the display and the edge of the Tab itself there's about 14mm of black plastic. When you first fire up the Tab's display, you'll probably be taken aback by how small it looks inside that bulky surround.

This wide bezel and the Tab's thick dimensions combine to make a device that feels rather chunky. On the bright side, that gives the Tab a sturdy feel. On the other hand, you can't help but feel that an expensive tablet should feel more like an After Eight than a Yorkie.

Retina riot

The 7-inch TFT LCD screen has a maximum resolution of 1,024x600 pixels, which isn't particularly high. Text and icons are rendered clearly enough, but the resolution didn't blow us away -- if you're used to something like the iPhone 4's 'retina' display, you'll notice the slight blurring around individual icons and characters.

Resolution aside, there's much to like about this panel. At maximum brightness, it's suitably vibrant, and there are options to adjust the contrast and even saturation, if you like your tablets positively drenched in colour. We spent plenty of time watching movies on this panel, and found it very comfortable. We thought we'd suffer agonising eyestrain, but we didn't.

Watching video on the iPad is a more comfortable experience, though. That's to be expected because the iPad has a much larger screen. But the software used to control video on Apple's device is also considerably smoother and more intuitive than the Tab's offering.

Still, there are some definite advantages to watching video on the Samsung device. For instance, thanks to its expandable memory, getting videos onto the Tab is a simple and speedy matter of dragging and dropping, and the device supports a broad range of video formats, including DivX, Xvid, MPEG-4, H.263 and H.264. Even if it's not via the most beautiful and elegant process in the world, the Tab makes it easy to load up new episodes of your favourite show before hopping on the train.

The same goes for audio -- the Tab's on-board music player isn't a patch on the iPod software you'll find in iOS, but, if you have a vast music library already, getting those tracks onto the Tab is simple, with no need to go through iTunes. As with video, the Tab supports a huge range of audio formats, including AAC, OGG, FLAC and AC3.

Slick software

The Tab runs Android 2.2. That software was developed for smart phones, and it shows -- some menus even refer to the Tab as a 'phone'. But, despite that and our fears Android wouldn't translate well to a larger screen, we were actually impressed by the software. For the most part, the operating system is intuitive and easy to use.

Beyond the lock screen, you'll find five customisable home screens, which you can fill to the brim with widgets and app shortcuts. Along the bottom of the screen are dedicated shortcuts to the Web browser, email and the full application menu.

How quickly you're able to navigate to the item you want will be largely down to you. If you make a habit of pinning your favourite apps to a home screen, you'll never be too far from the application your heart desires. If you decide not to customise the Tab, you could end up spending a few extra seconds clicking around menus, hunting for what you want.

We're big fans of Android. It's simple, powerful and customisable. But it does lack the buttery smoothness of iOS. Swiping through menus on the Tab proves swift and there's noticeably little lag, but it still doesn't feel quite as responsive as the iPad.

Switching from portrait to landscape orientation automatically, via the built-in accelerometer, is also less elegant than it is in iOS. Switching often takes a while, with the screen disappearing before reappearing a moment later in a different position. There's also no hardware button to lock the display in one particular orientation, as there is on the iPad. That's a feature you'll quickly miss if you want to read something on the Tab while lying on your side.

Usability utility

There are some usability areas in which the Tab really excels. Despite Steve Jobs' recent claims that 7-inch tablets are too small for human hands, we found typing on the Tab extremely pleasant. That's because, when held in portrait orientation, it's easy to grip the sides and tap out text using your thumbs. The 1GHz processor lurking inside this tablet also keeps the keyboard feeling responsive. Throw in haptic feedback and you've got an on-screen keyboard that's more comfortable than the one you'll find on the iPad.

Another neat feature is the 'active applications' widget on the Tab's home screen. It will let you see every app that's currently running, as well as how much memory each one is eating up. You can shut apps down from this widget too -- something it's not always easy to do with the vanilla version of Android. Shutting down memory-gobbling apps will also stop them sucking up all the Tab's juice.

One of the iPad's fortes is Web browsing. Thanks to multi-touch zoom and its big display, cruising around websites is great fun. The Tab doesn't offer as much space or speed, and zooming in and out of websites doesn't feel as smooth. But it does have one huge advantage over the iPad -- Flash support.

Flash, aaa-aaaah!

Yes indeed, thanks to Android 2.2, the Tab supports Adobe's Flash player. That means you'll get access to the vast majority of online video. We expected Flash to deliver an ugly and slothful experience in the Tab's small browser, but, in fact, we were impressed -- video loaded and played smoothly, and pausing and skipping around online footage caused no problems. If your favourite sites rely heavily on Flash video, consider the Tab's ability to handle it as a serious mark in its favour.

On the back of the Tab is a 3-megapixel camera with an LED flash. Now, if you're thinking that, in this day and age, 3 measly megapixels doesn't sound like a great deal of camera, well -- you'd be right. Still, in our tests, the Tab took reasonable pictures. Crucially, the software itself is snappy, so you won't miss the moment waiting for menus to load. Another bonus is the camera's ability to capture video at 30 frames per second. Our test footage looked silky-smooth.

Provided you've whacked in a functioning SIM card, the Tab also serves as a phone. Our thorough testing revealed that you will indeed look like a total berk holding a 7-inch tablet up to your face, but, thoughtfully, Samsung has bundled a set of headphones with an in-line mic and call-answer button, so you can bark commands to your stockbroker wirelessly.

You can also make video calls over 3G, thanks to a tiny camera just above the Tab's display. Sadly, though, video calling is only supported from one Galaxy Tab to another. If you want to use this feature, you'll have to persuade your friends to buy Tabs too.

The camera and phone capability (both lacking in the iPad) are just two things that make the Tab an excellent choice if you want a tablet to take on your travels. Chuck in Google Maps Navigation, and the whole bundle becomes an appealing prospect for those who want big-screen Web access on the move.

App appeal

A decent tablet needs apps. It needs many thousands of apps, it needs them to be easily accessible and it needs them to be intelligently organised.

Thanks to the Android Market, Tab users will indeed have quick access to thousands of downloadable apps. Once you've found an app in the Market, you're only one button press away from downloading it, and, once installed, it'll appear, as if by magic, in the applications menu.

It's on the organisation front that things go slightly awry. Samsung has seen fit to include its own app store, distinct from the Android Market, and a second store for games. The aptly titled 'Samsung Apps' is pretty barren at the moment, and its layout is far from intuitive. This division of the Tab's app offering into several separate stores will only confuse and annoy users.

Well, two out of three ain't bad.

Power performer

Knowing we'd be able to have a whole bunch of apps running at the same time made us think the Tab's battery life would be short and brutal, like an enraged dwarf. Samsung reckons you'll get around 7 hours of video playback, which is just about the most intensive task you can set the Tab. In the few days we had the Tab in for testing, we didn't notice the battery draining too quickly, despite Samsung telling us that our particular review sample suffered from an abnormally weak battery.

We reckon you'll get a couple of days of normal use out the Tab before it needs a recharge. We want tablets that last for weeks on a single charge, but, nevertheless, the Tab's battery life is far from disappointing.

Conclusion

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is a great device that packs neat hardware and well-integrated software into an appealing little bundle. We're not going to say the Tab is better than the iPad, because it isn't. But it isn't any worse either -- it's just different.

The iPad is undoubtedly slicker and simpler. If you're looking for a tablet to keep on your coffee table, and let you browse the Web on the sofa, the iPad is king. But, if you're a gentleman or lady about town and want something more nimble yet more feature-packed, the Tab will make a fine companion.
