{{Samsung has unveiled a Galaxy Note tablet designed to make a more personal connection with users and aiming to knock Apple’s iPad off its market throne.}}<\/p>\n
A key feature of the Galaxy Note 10.1 was a sophisticated “S Pen” that can be used as if it were a pen on paper or a computer mouse.<\/p>\n
“The mission of this device is personalisation -using pen input to create more human communication,” Galaxy Tab consumer business division director Travis Merrill told press while providing an early look at the new tablet.<\/p>\n
“Receiving a handwritten note from someone you know is so much more emotional and powerful than just receiving an email,” he said.<\/p>\n
Samsung built technology from Japan-based Wacom into the tablet screen to create a layer that can sense “S Pens” so precisely it can tell how hard they are being pressed or even if they are hovering, slightly out of touch.<\/p>\n
“If you don’t want to use the S Pen you don’t have to but it is really the heart and soul of the device,” Samsung Telecommunications America product strategy director Shoneel Kolhatkar said.<\/p>\n
Note 10.1 tablets are powered by Google’s latest generation Android software and feature powerful quad-core processors as well as two gigabytes of RAM for quick handling of videos, games and other graphics rich content.<\/p>\n
The tablets are Wi-Fi enabled to connect with the Internet at hotspots and will be available in the United States on Wednesday at prices of $500 for a 16-gigabyte model and $550 for a 32-gigabyte model, according to Samsung.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
