I want to be able to use the Samsung Galaxy Tablet as a navigator, but what will I need in New Zealand? Maps? Sim card? I don't want to use the Tab as a phone and will be accessing the internet with Wifi.

A: If you are using the GPS system, not directly. It does need a connection to update maps and the like.

And there is more than 1 type of 3G network, so there is no guarantee that it would connect anyway. A device made for 3G is made for

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) leak suggests $399 price tag

The Galaxy Tab 2 is Samsung’s second attempt at a 10-inch tablet and has a few changes over the original. Those include a slightly thinner chassis, and front facing speaker grills similar to a few models we’ve seen in Germany as of late. Under the hood is the same 1280 x 800 resolution screen and 1.0 GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor, so no quad-core here but still plenty fast.

The page has since been pulled, but the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 was spotted at Office Depot’s online store for only $399. A sign that Samsung might finally be realizing they’ve been asking a bit too much for their tablets. After a second look you’ll quickly notice that is for the 8GB model, and sadly the 16GB will probably still be $449. Most likely they’ll also offer a 32GB model priced around $499, which seems high given the price of better tablets like the Transformer Prime .

The Samsung Galaxy Tablet

Of course, the actual display screen is not as large as some of it’s competitors, but it is a great size because it will easily fit in your pocket making it easy to take along with you wherever you go. Let me ask you a question, have you actually attempted to place an iPad in your pocket?  I don’t think so! Its not possible!  When it comes down to the graphics, I am certain you will agree that they are extremely sharp. One more great thing about the Galaxy Tab like a lot of others today, is that you can utilize this device for video chatting and recording video.

Not only is this designed with WiFi (802-11N) but it also features the next generation Bluetooth 3.0 for additional wireless functionality. If you have ever been lost, you understand how embarrassing it can be to ask for directions, but with the Samsung Galaxy Tablet you will also enjoy having your own personal GPS, meaning you’ll never be lost again. A very important factor that really amazed me is the fact that this little guy will be able to function up to 13 hours on a single charge. The Galaxy Tablet weighs in at just 13.4 ounces along with the actual dimensions of 7.5 x 4.8 x 0.4 inches.
