Samsung has put his step in the battle field of Tablet Pcs by launching its first ever tablet "Samsung P1000 Galaxy." Some might argue that it’s rather a step down from laptops but the Samsung Galaxy Tab smartphone DNA is obvious from the moment you touch it.
The 7-inch Android tablet has full phone functionality and the only thing that separates it from being called an oversized cell phone is the fact that you cannot make phone calls by holding it next to your ear.
