Get a Taste of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with its Online Simulator

There’s nothing like spending some hands-on time with a device before deciding to purchase it but it’s not always possible, especially when it comes to tablets that are in high demand from the preorder stage itself. Samsung can’t give each of us a demo unit of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 but it provides the next best thing – an online simulator that takes you through almost every feature and capability of the 10inch Honeycomb tab.


The online simulator is broken into Menu, Index and Search. Each feature/function is explained through an interactive tutorial. For example, under Menu you have Getting Started, Settings, Features, Camera, Notification Tray/Panel, and Web Browsing. Each of these has subcategories. For example, Getting Started covers Google Signup, Date/Time, Using Widgets, Accessing Apps, Recent Apps, Navigating menus, and Lock Screen; Features covers Email, Calendar, Contacts, Using Gmail, Market and Google Talk; and so forth.

It’s a great way to see what Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is all about. Once you’re done with that, get the tablet online or in store.

Meanwhile, as we reported earlier, Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 was to head to Nordic countries ahead of the rest of the world. A tweet from Samsung Germany informs us that the release has been delayed to mid-August there. Though no reasons have been provided, we’re guessing the issue is related to component availability. Will this lead to downgraded screen quality or a thicker build for Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9? I guess we’ll know in the following month.
