Turn the Table Tuesday. No, it's not a new cell phone, headset, or camera. It's a new Tablet!

Yes, Leo got a new tablet computer, the Samsung GALAXY Tab. It features a 7-inch TFT-LCD display and it’s powered by the new 2.2 Android Operating System. Right out of the box Leo likes the bright, beautiful display and the smaller size of this tablet. Here’s another device that Leo can use to communicate via e-mail, voice, video call, SMS/MMS or social network! It can be used for watching films, viewing pictures, e-reading or sharing documents. With Adobe Flash Player 10.1, the Samsung GALAXY Tab supports seamless viewing of web content. A feature Samsung calls 'Media Hub’, is the TAB's gateway to films, videos, and music. With 3G HSPA connectivity, 802.11n Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 3.0, Leo can stay connected – as he must always be! For voice telephony, the Samsung GALAXY Tab can be used as speakerphone, or as a mobile phone on the move via Bluetooth headset. I don’t think Leo is planning on using his TAB for calls. A Cortex A8 1.0GHz application processor powers it, and HD video content is supported by a wide range of multimedia formats like DivX, XviD, MPEG4, H.263, H.264 and more. But wait, there’s more! A front-facing camera allows face-to-face video over 3G, and the rear-facing camera captures still images and video that can Leo can edit, upload and share. I assume we’ll be seeing Leo posting video & pics from his new, impressive Samsung GALAXY Tab! And the price? $399.99 with a two-year Sprint contract. Yes, less than the iPad by about a third. (Although I played with the Tab at the press preview, I don’t own one. So the specs here are from the Samsung press info.) But Leo’s favorable review is his own!

Frankly, I am waiting for the Adam to come out (I think) on December 6.
