Samsung has released a comprehensive official demo of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. The video takes you through all the features of the Honeycomb tablet, especially Samsung TouchWiz that’s expected to come to the tablet in a later update.

The video starts with Samsung showing off the tab’s slimness (8.6mm) and light weight (565g). Then it talks about the improved user experience with Android 3.1 that brings customizable widgets to the tablet. There’s also a single button multi-tasking bar, Quick Panel, and customizable home screens. Samsung TouchWiz, Samsung’s UI for Honeycomb tablets, brings real-time updates, scalable widgets, optimization of content according to preferences, and six mini apps that run over background apps (such as Calendar). The video also talks about Google Mobile Services such as video chat, Google Maps, Google Places, YouTube, and HD video playback on the 1280×800 pixel WXGA screen and demos the surround sound speakers.

If you’re having trouble deciding whether the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is worth your money, it would be a good idea to watch this video to know all it offers. When it comes to performance, the 10.1 tablet has proven to reach speeds of 21Mbps on HSPA+ network. Blazing browser performance and overall responsiveness with a dual core processor is also highlighted. Samsung goes on to pat its own back for fitting a 7,000mAh battery in the slim build of the 10.1 tab, offering 9 hours of video playback on a single recharge.

Then, you see Samsung’s Reader’s hub, Music Hub, and Social Hub in action. Integrated communications allow users to interact with contacts while accessing Calendar, etc. The video concludes with information on accessories – desktop dock, leather pouch, Bluetooth keyboard with case, book cover, HDTV adapter USB connection kit, and keyboard dock.

Samsung has released an advertisement that shows two boys throwing tantrums at an eat-out. One dad manages to placate his child by dishing out the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 that runs like butter while the other dad (poor chap) brings out a tablet that looks suspiciously like the iPad and has to face more tantrums with his kid wailing, “It’s not working again!” Gee, talk about child pressure. Watch the ad for yourself. Nothing surprising about the iPad flashing in Samsung’s ad, it’s quite a trend amongst most tablet manufacturers. Poke fun at the iPad and glorify your own.
