This actually looks like a fun game. It's called Battle Bears and it's running on the Galaxy Tab:

Here's another video of the same dash:

A good car mount, yes, but pair.com? I followed the link and it was a hosting company.

Was this a clever plug?

The Galaxy tab I have only owned for two weeks. The size is fantastic for internet browsing, I think it is good but I think I have not found the right apps yet which give me something similar to the n900 but bigger.
switching between them in only weird because of the multi touch on galaxy and no swype on n900, so far I have not found a message application which handles all my sms, facebook, skype etc like the n900.
I am carrying not only my n900 but also my galaxy tab.
This is a very individual, not stuctured emotional impression, after 2 weeks of owning both devices. More to come
Am on the same boat!

I'd love to see more screens!

What widgets are you using?
I only have one other home screen, pic attached plus a (hopefully) better sized version of the first one. I use only the widgets provided with LauncherPro, plus a weather one called simply "Weather Forecast Widget", and the Android news widget.

Hey Andy,

Care to comment on some of the apps that you have?
I'm curious about how PSX4droid runs in general, as well as some of hte other games!

Your home screen looks fabulous by the way!

Just struck me as to how much ipad tv advertising there is in the UK. I see so many of them. But have never seen a single Tab advert. What is Samsung waiting for!

I'm very impressed with the Tab as a mobile games machine - performance is good and the screen is great. Most of the games you see there are keepers; I've bought and returned/refunded a lot more which weren't great (for me). The Android Market refund mechanism is a huge benefit over the Apple App Store btw.

The PSX emulator isn't great yet because it isn't GPU accelerated. It does run many games relatively smoothly but they don't look that nice being quite pixelated.

As far as non-games go I use the Tab primarily for web and email, plus it is an excellent reading device imo (books, magazine, newspapers, RSS articles). My Kindle is seeing little use now.

This is very cool news! Thanks for the lowdown on the games. This is one area that I see myself using the Tab for a lot.

There's a project opened to port the PC psx emulator to Linux and have it GPU accelerated. It's slowly coming along, but will be a while before it's ready to use. I'm really disappointed that zodttd has turned his back on GPU acceleration for psx4droid, as this could have been a great app!

I'm also interested in using the device for reading. Reading on my N810 just doesn't feel right, and there's a lot of content that I don't have access to! I'm expecting big things from the Tab!

Thanks for the info, and I'll be really happy to hear anything you have to say!
