It was possibly the worst-kept secret in tablet-land (more so than the iPad), but the final specs have now been revealed for the Samsung Galaxy Tab. It’ll run Android 2.2 (Froyo) and comes in a 7-inch flavor—for now.It’s one of those moments where the final product actually exceeds expectations based on previous leaks. Sure, a lot of the specs we had heard before, but did you know the Galaxy Tab was going to be the first-ever DivX certified tablet?We’re pretty sure there’ll be other tablet sizes coming at a later date from Samsung, but this particular GT-P1000 model has a 7-inch TFT-LCD WSVGA screen (with 1024 x 600 pixels), and is powered by a Cortex A8 1.0GHz processor and a PowerVR SGX540 GPU—the same one used in their Galaxy S phone-and runs with 512MB of RAM.As expected, the back-facing camera is a 3MP affair with auto-focus and an LED flash, and the forward-facing one (for video conferencing) has a 1.3MP sensor. In some of Samsung’s comedy lifestyle photos below, you’ll see that back-facing camera being used for the Layar app.
Two storage capacities are on offer, either 16GB or 32GB, with both models allowing for a further 32GB memory expansion via the card slot.Several connectivity options have been included, such as Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth 3.0, and 3G support should a user want to use data with one of the supporting carriers (Vodafone has been signed up from the get-go.)

In a silly survey conducted by Coupons.com, they’ve discovered some ridiculous “revelations” about iPhone users and Android users. By analyzing both platform’s coupon usage, they’ve determined that iPhone users are “feminine-smelling, chicken-eating, entertainment-reading fish owners.” As for Android users:
They are “manly-scented, pork-eating, news-reading, bird lovers.” Well, I guess that clears things up, if you read the news and eat pork you’re Android all the way. But I wonder where I fall, I’m a scent-less, beef-eating, everything-but-fiction reading, no pet-having person. Is that Blackberry?

The Playstation Controller Coffee Table by Mark M (Australia). Cool!
“I made the PlayStation controller coffee table for my year 12 major work, as an Industrial Technology project. I made the whole controller out of plywood, MDF, and veneer on veneer. The whole project took me 20 weeks on and off during school time, in and out of class.”

We need one of these Floating Pools in our city, too!
+ Pool is an initiative by a group of architects and designers to build a floating pool in the rivers of New York City… and they need your help. The project was launched with the ambition to improve the use of the city’s natural resources by providing a clean and safe way for the public to swim in New York’s waters. This site is the culmination of Concept Design for + Pool and they are looking to build a team of interested organizations and professionals to continue the development of the project into a buildable proposal.

Their next step is to partner with local cultural, developmental and environmental groups to raise public and private interest, identify civic potential and approach the municipality, while working with engineers, planners and specialists to refine the social and ecological performance of + Pool.
