Yesterday, Samsung debuted the teaser trailer for the awaited Galaxy Tab slate computer. Today, it appears a another preview video has popped up in Korea. Take a look.

The video gives us a better idea as to the look, feel and size of the Galaxy Tab, especially when compared to the iPad and the Galaxy S smartphone. There are also some demos of the home screen user interface, some fast scrolling in the web browser and speedy pinch-to-zoom action as well.

Some of the highlighted specs include Android 2.2, the 7-inch AMOLED display with a 16:10 ratio, Wi-Fi, 3G, and a weight of 0.8-pounds.

If you can ignore/enjoy the 1980s video game-esque soundtrack, check out the video for yourself.

I know it's very similar to the iPad but if it's priced right I'll still buy it.

Actually if you looked closely, you will notice very slow choppy scrolling in the browser.

Still unanswered questions about the resolution. Is it stuck at 800x480? What about battery? Storage?

Will it need to be tied to a carrier in order to get market place support (apps). Upping the price point?

@dave95.

Maybe it was due to all the flash objects it was displaying - we all know how troublesome flash is to support on mobile devices... some manufacturers don't even bother trying. wink
