The Apple iPad may have jump started the tablet computing craze, but the Samsung P1000 is revolutionizing this kind of device. It features Flash support, a 3.2 megapixel camera and a 1.3 megapixel camera for videos and the ability to multitask unlike the current Apple iPad version. The price of this Samsung tablet is less pricey than the Apple iPad making it a staunch competitor for people seeking a bargain.

The Samsung P1000 Tab SMD (Smart Media Device) features a 7 inch LCD display touchscreen, ARM Cortex A8 1GHz Hummingbird processor and 16GB of internal memory storage. The display is smaller than the iPad and the internal storage falls short of iPad’s 64GB. However, it does have a memory card slot for as much storage and sharing as you can handle.

More features include WiFi Connectivity, Vibetonz for touchscreen command verification, Li-ion battery, 16 Million Colors – 16 million color display for lifelike photos and videos, Bluetooth Connectivity and functional applications like a pre-installed email client, calender, Adobe Flash 10.1, multimedia, e-reader and other programs that are designed to enhance your tablet PC experience.

Some other pros include a navigation application that can replace your current GPS device, HD video playback, e-book reader that provides clear text for reading your favorite books and magazines and portability so it easily fits into your purse or pocket.

Some of the cons include no support for USB devices, speakers may be too quiet for some people, some newer applications may not be compatible with its resolution and you could experience some picture ghosting with some videos.

Overall, the Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab SMD provides optimal connectivity and is a great way to surf, check email, play, watch videos and communicate via the 3G network. While it may not take the iPad down just yet, it does what what you expect a tablet to do and more.

The Kubik Edge II is the affordable answer to the iTouch from Apple. At a quarter of the price, however, you will find that it is much easier on the purse than other similar product types. The Kubik Edge II, as the name suggests, is the second version of this product, and there have been some upgrades that addresses some of the previous issues that original Kubik Edge users observed.

One of the biggest complaints about the Kubik Edge was how unresponsive the touch screen was. This, however is addressed in the Kubik Edge II. While there is still a little lag when using the touch screen it is far more sensitive to touch and has less misses as a result.

An issue that continues to exist (and that may not be an issue for many people) is the memory capacity. The internal memory max is 8GB and the maximum expansion is an additional 4GB (Mini SD) See Below for a maximum of 12GB RAM. Again, this may or may not be an issue for some people, depending on what they want to use their Kubik Edge II and how much space.

Some of the great aspects of the Kubik Edge II are the crystal clear sound, Its nice 320X240 Pixels Screen where you can watch all your movies without squinting your eyes, Its 12-month manufacturer warranty, You Tube conversion without the need of any special software, plays WMA and MP3 files, memory expansion, Windows 2000/XP/Media/Vista/7.0 Compatible, camera and video recording, web cam feature and more.

Some of the things that can use improvement are things like the only 2 megapixel camera, the headphones act as your radio antenna, which means that you cannot listen to the radio without these exact headphones and there is no method for separating file types to allow for quick access.

Summary

Overall, the Kubik Edge II offers a great alternative to much more expensive options. While it isn’t the same as an Apple product, at about £46.99, you will find that this is a much more affordable option. If you love your Kubik Edge, you will love this upgrade, it address some of your most important concerns, making it a better product for you to use and make a excellent Christmsat Gift.

Great player & Great Service!

I wanted a player that could do it all and was intrigued by the You Tube capability. For this price I thought why not give it a go. My first impressions were good, the item comes well wrapped in a cool looking package. It came with a mains charger and USB lead, warranty card, CD manual. The manual however is not very detailed and I was left a bit confused about how to use all the features, particularly how to get You Tube vides on there and other normal vides. I fired off some emails to Kubik Edge and to my amazement I got a reply within 10 min’s! All was explained to me and I got my favourite You Tube video on there in about 5 min’s. This has to be the best feature on this player (from a You Tube addict!) Kubik Edge told me they are putting together a proper user manual that will be on there website for download very soon….cant wait!

Fantastic Media Player!!!

I looked at lots of media players but always had the problem of getting the features I wanted with plenty of memory for a price I could afford. This player fitted the bill perfectly. I’ve loaded films… easy to do just use the disc that comes with it to convert into right format…the picture quality is amazing. I’ve watched a film and the streaming was perfect…no stuttering or freezing. The sound quality is also excellent. The speaker isn’t very loud, even at full volume, but then it is a personal player and with the earphones the volume is perfect. It has a camera and video recording facility which is great and also a radio and games. I bought this for my mother who uses a lot of public transport and needed something to pass the time. She’s getting on (sorry mum!)and isn’t the most technical minded but this is perfect as it has a large screen and is very easy to use. I am very impressed with this product and the price and I know my mother is going to love it.

After getting this player home, i was surprised at the stuff that this gizmo has inbuilt. The camera is great and so too the video function. The Manual is now able to be downloaded (via a PDF file) online at Kubik Edge and there is a download page which allows you to get all the free conversion software such as AVI conversion allowing you to put your videos onto the player.

Great little player

The player also boasts an upgradable memory via a mini SD card. which seems a great way of expanding your memory capacity. As yet I have not tried out all of the functions but I am very impressed by the quality of what I have tried. This is a great product.
