Samsung Galaxy Tab Offers Great Web Browsing, App Experience

December 1st, 2010 | No Comments

eWEEK has been playing with the Samsung Galaxy Tab, courtesy of Verizon Wireless, for the past two weeks. The No. 1 carrier began selling the Android 2.2-based tablet computer Nov. 11 for $599.99 without a contract, timed for the holiday rush. An alternative to Apple’s iPad, the Tab’s screen measures 7 inches on the diagonal, compared with the 9.7-inch iPad, and weighs 13.5 ounces, compared with the iPad’s heftier 1.5 pounds. Also, the Tab has two video cameras, including a 1.3-inch megapixel mini-camera for video conferencing. While the iPad relies on the 300,000 apps in Apple’s App Store, the Tab plays host to the 100,000-plus apps in the Android Market as well as the Samsung Media Hub for renting and purchasing TV programming and movies. In evaluating the tablet, eWEEK was struck by just how much the Web browsing experience of the Tab mimics that of the Samsung Galaxy S devices, such as the Fascinate and Continuum, from Verizon. The application experience is ostensibly the same, with a widget to the Android Market and the ability to download Facebook for Android, Twitter for Android and all manner of apps. While the Galaxy S devices from Verizon come preloaded with Bing Search and Bing Maps, the Tab hews to the Verizon Droid model of saluting Google’s mobile services, including widgets for Google Maps, Google Places, Google Latitude, YouTube and Google Search. Check it all out in this slideshow. – …

April 13th, 2010 | No Comments

A report from Gartner highlights how the reliance on Flash cookies as an authentication mechanism by online banks may need to change with the release of Adobe Flash Player 10.1. Flash Player’s Private Browsing feature will make it easier to clear Flash cookies, and e-commerce businesses will need to adjust, some say.

to allow users to automatically clear Flash cookies after a Web

Opera Cofounder Talks Future of Mobile Desktop Web Browsing

March 22nd, 2010 | No Comments

Opera is focused on disseminating its products for the one Web, as opposed to devoting more energy to the development of either mobile or desktop browsers, according to Opera co-founder Jon von Tetzschner, who suggests that Web browsing will become a common feature of not only smartphones and PCs but other devices such as televisions. Nonetheless, Opera has lately been focused on disseminating its mobile browser franchise, with plans to release Opera Mini for the iPhone as an App Store application, following the release of the beta version of Opera Mini 5 for Google Android and Windows Mobile 5.x and 6.x. Common features across all versions of Operas mobile browser include tabbed browsing, a focus on increased speed, and 90-percent data compression. Von Tetzschner claims that Operas desktop-based and mobile browsers have between 120 and 150 million active users worldwide.

September 3rd, 2009 | No Comments

Many of the features found in current-generation Web browsers, such as tabbed browsing, were originally introduced in Opera.
