Samsung Galaxy Tablet

Just like Apple’s iPad Samsung has also launched its new Samsung Galaxy Tab. Although from the looks it looks pretty promising but let’s see how it is better or inferior to Apple’s iPad.

As far as the body and looks are concerned the Samsung Galaxy has a sleek and stylish figure, having 16:9 7-inch screen which is so good for watching movies and videos. It seems to be perfect portable multimedia device. And unlike iPad it is not cumbrous and is light weight, perfect for playing games.

In terms of functionality, it offers more than that of iPad. The cameras are both on front and at the back, the rear one being 3 megapixels which is 3 megapixels more than the iPad. Of course, you need to have a reasonable memory and for that the Samsung Galaxy offer expandable memory unit with micro SD cards which leads up to 32 GB, economical and worth having.

It also offers voice calling, though it can’t replace cell phones but it ideal for video conversations and video conferences.

One thing that is the most important is the finishing and the strength of any gadget and for Samsung Galaxy it has both the qualities. When in hand it feels like some hardcore gadget with a good solid finishing. The Samsung Galaxy Tablet will be hitting the UK markets soon, probably around October and the prices are still unknown.

2010 US Open Tennis: Rafael Nadal Looks wobbly in First Round

Rafael Nadal barely survived his game in US open at Arthur Ashe Stadium. He was matched up with unranked Teymuraz Gabashvili. TV commentators, fans and even the US open officials thought that Nadal will lose this match but in the end he made it, barely! Afterwards Nadal started giving excuses that the ball of US Open was hard for him and he underestimated his opponent.

His opponent was Teymuraz Gabashvili who is at 98th rank in the US Open and at 93rd ranks in the ATP rankings and he deserves the credit. He gave a good match to Nadal and was a worthy opponent.

But whatever the conditions are, no one expected from an experienced and bright player to play such a game against a man whose highest ever rank was 59th. And this is his zenith in the Grand Slam in the fourth round at Roland Garros. And besides 2006 and 2007, he has never been able to make it to the second round at the US Open.

According to some writers Nadal is only trying to save himself from the rounds to come as his performance was not likely to be expected. But the truth is that he has been struggling with the ball and so far he is unable to give a spectacular performance.

Unfortunately the first game anticipates that Nadal will hardly reach the US Open Finals, a little bit of a sad anticipation for Nadal’s fans.
