Speed Is in Its DNA

Samsung innovation is at the heart of the Galaxy Tab 8.9. And that means speed. To start, the device supports Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth® connections. Add this to the 1 GHz Dual Core processor, and you can run rich 3D games and enjoy multimedia content with ease.

Stay Entertained

Whether you want to watch the latest TV shows, read your favorite book, browse the web or keep up with friends’ status updates, it’s easy to stay entertained with the Galaxy Tab. Get a wide range of content in the palm of your hand through Samsung’s hubs and a variety of apps. Plus, access Adobe Flash Player compatible websites.

Samsung Media Hub: Access more than 5,000 movies and TV shows. You pay once and can share the content across five Media Hub-enabled devices, including tablets and smartphones. With Smart Show, you can even connect your tablet to your TV via an HDMI dongle so you can enjoy your Media Hub content on any HDTV. Plus there’s no need to wait for the content to download completely, you can instantly enjoy a diverse selection of movies and TV shows within minutes of starting the download.

Google Books: Find free out-of-trademark books such as Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Alice in Wonderland and Pride & Prejudice. Thousands of books are available for purchase via Google Play.

Content Comes to Life Anywhere

Sliding in at about 1.3 pounds, this large-screen tablet is unbelievably thin and portable—just .34" thick—so you can enjoy widescreen movies in HD resolution (1280x800) with the built-in surround stereo sound wherever you go.

The Galaxy Tab 8.9 is also equipped with a 3MP camera for pictures and video, and a 2MP front-facing camera for Google Talk video chat. You can even share Tab content on your HDTV through the Tablet Extender feature—or stream it wirelessly with Allshare.

Sweet Customization

What else makes multitasking a breeze? Customization. Since Android 3.1 is designed specifically for tablets, computing is visual, fluid and intuitive. Here's a look at some of its features:

TouchWiz with L!vePanel will take multitasking even further with continuously refreshed real-time content and rich widgets that deliver instant and relevant information to you.
The Quick App Tray can float above other applications, so important tasks can always be right at your fingertips.
With Multiscreen Scrolling you can view up to five different screens at the same time, so you can get more done. Plus, the 1 GB RAM (max) makes multitasking seamless.
The Enhanced Browser includes tabbed pages, form auto-fill, bookmark syncing with Google Chrome and private browsing.

Android 3.1 also features key Google services that you can easily access through convenient apps on your home screen:

Google Maps: You can use Google Maps to point out your current location, search for businesses and addresses, and get directions to wherever you need to go. If you just want to explore the world around you while on the go use Google Maps with Street View.

Gmail: View your inbox and conversations side by side, so you can triage your email while you read. Drop a few Gmail widgets onto your home screen to stay on top of all of your accounts. You can even drag and drop conversations into folders from your inbox.

YouTube: The mobile app provides a fast and simple way to search, browse and watch YouTube videos on your mobile device. You can also upload the video you’ve just recorded and instantly broadcast it to the whole world.

Google Talk: Never miss a ping again with Google Talk on your Android device. Swap between multiple chats at a time, search your chat history, see previews of videos and images within conversations or video chat.

Google Play™: The new widget lets you keep on top of what’s hot on Google Play, showing featured apps right on your home screen.

An Arsenal of Accessories

Innovation even extends beyond the Tab. Consider the Desk Dock, which conveniently charges and connects to other devices. Or when it’s time to give it a rest, the Book Cover can protect the Tab or be transformed into a pedestal so you can relax with your favorite movie.
