Review Samsung Galaxy Tab touchscreen

The Samsung Galaxy Tab's 7-inch format screen is unfortunately not an AMOLED type, but a 16 million pixels TFT color LCD capacitive touchscreen with a 600x1024 pixels resolution.

There is actually another difference, and that is the Samsung Galaxy Tab's full calling functionality, (including video calling). The calling functionality leads to hilarity when you use the Tab as a phone, holding it up to your ear.
