I hope you all are doing well and truly enjoying the season.

Remember that Unreal 3 engine game called Dungeon Defender? Well, you can get a First Look of it running on everyones favourite Tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab!

The verdict? It looks awesome. The graphics are detailed and colourful and the framerate is quite good. This would certainly be on of those titles worth trying out.

I've got the Motorola s305 headphones on Dan's recommendation... I love the form factor, though I haven't tried them yet. Anyway, phase one of my Tab acquisition is complete.

I've technically got enough money for the Tab including taxes ($733 -- Canadian prices are very high) and cover my other expenses, though it's too tight to pull the trigger just yet.

But it's around the corner and I'm looking forward to it!

After months of considering, deliberating I am now the proud owner of a Galaxy Tab. The Motorola teaser video had made me decide to wait till CES in January to see what was coming around the corner. But today I finally decided to bite the bullet.

£399 at Currys and I had £170 on an insurance card so only paid £229 cash.

Will give my thoughts later in the week. In the mean time would gladly receive recommendations on first apps to download. Dolphin HD would be first of course.

They like the hardware, but have trouble getting past the software.

What do you think?
They also listed 16 or 32GB INTEGRATED NAND memory on the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Are they idiots? Did they ignore the little microSD slot?

I wait eagerly for your impressions and opinions. Congratulations, by the by!

Welcome to the club, lad! We welcome you! Let me know if there's anything I can point out or do for you on the Tab!

I would recommend against Dolphin's HD version--the plain Dolphin browser is FAR faster, just less flashier. I prefer the performance boost, myself and people I've shown it to in the offline real world seem to agree. The FIRST thing I'd get, if I were you, is z4root, then I would immediately go to the Android market to download AdFree and Titanium Backup. Immediately apply AdFree, reboot and then go to Titanium Backup and back-up everything before you go ahead and start forcefully uninstalling the crapware packaged with the Tab (Nova, telephone carrier crapware, etc.--the things you're normally not allowed to delete but Titanium Backup easily does so).

Just to make it easy--when you run Titanium Backup.. first make a back-up of everything by doing this:
  • launch Titanium Backup
  • tap on "Backup/Restore"
  • tap your menu button (under the screen)
  • tap "Batch"
  • tap on the "Run" button to the left of the "Backup all user apps + system data"

Voila! You're done! Now you can go up and down the list in the "Backup/Restore" and tap on the application name to choose to "Un-install !" anything you want GONE GONE GONE (there'll still be a back-up in case you want to restore it back again). Titanium even keeps the config data for the apps backed up, so when you restore it, you can optionally restore app config files as well.

I hope you truly enjoy the Tab--so far, I'm having a blast! ...every day! heheh

Congrats on the purchase! You will have to give us your impressions as I am eager to learn what you think and exactly how you use the device.

I would recommend that you download the latest google maps application (version 5). It looks like it would be a very useful app to have thanks to local map caching.
