Samsung to officially unveil the Galaxy Pad on Sept 2

The Apple iPad has stiff competition arriving from strong and diverse army of Androids and now faces tough challenge from Samsung with its new offering Galaxy Tab(let), with battle lines drawn in the Tablet PC market .Ultimately who maintains the edge is for the Customer to decide.

With a release date set for this week's IFA expo in Germany, the Tab is expected to run on Android and has a feature list that includes 3G connectivity, wifi, a 16:10 screen ratio, a front-facing camera for video calling, SDHC memory expandability, and a DMB tuner for TV viewing.

However, it has been said that the user interface for the new product is an impressive selling point. According to tech news site Engadget, the user interface "really looks silky smooth and should give the iPad cause for concern." 

While Galaxy Tab is not a ebook reader in the real sense of the word, it can be used as one. And the fact that it is based on Android, makes sure that the useful programs will be available right from the beginning.
