Customizations made by Samsung
We have always seen Samsung come out with new stuff and with its own special customizations. Same is the case here, they have done a lot of customization on the Galaxy TAB Android tablet. It is using the Android OS and feels like an Android too, but it doesn’t look like it in anyway. The same Touch Wiz custom user interface can also be found on this Samsung product. Samsung has redesigned a lot of apps and have even replaced some too. While there’s still support for Google Android Marketplace, but you can also use the Samsung App store and download some cool stuff from there and all these applications are specially designed for the Galaxy TAB. A notable mention must as well be made about the special folders, Readers Hub, Media Hub, Music Hub and Social Hub, you can order things according to these four areas of interest as their names suggest, this is a very different feature from any Tablet out in the market.
