Samsung Galaxy Tab Official Demo video is here to show you what the tablet is all about

by 11 comments

Okay, okay, I know this isn’t as good as trying it in person, but, at least for the next few days, that’s all we get. Samsung just published an official demo video, showing their Android-running tablet performance and cool features.
