Samsung Galaxy Tab - 60 minute review                                                             

3 mins I just held down my finger and added a widget to the screen, which is so incredibly crisp and bright. I've added the Samsung social network feed, now I just have to set up Facebook™ and Twitter™.

5 mins Turned on GPS and Wi-Fi, logged in to Wi-Fi

7 mins Synced up the Galaxy Tab with my Google Mail, Facebook and Twitter accounts - now I can see all my messages on the screen. You press the refresh button to see new messages, and the live feed delivers new Facebook, Twitter and MySpace™ updates in real time.

10 mins Just received a text - a screen pops up with a photo of my friend and speech bubbles with the messages in, I can easily follow the thread of our conversation.

12 mins I create a status update using the social networking widget, and Galaxy Tab sends it straight to both Facebook and Twitter, so I don't have to fiddle around with updating separate accounts

14 mins Just clicked on a link tweeted by T3 - Tab's taken me straight from Twitter to the web browser and loaded the whole page in less than a second. Amazing.

17 mins Finished viewing the T3 page and watched a flash video on the site without any kind of lag at all.

25 mins Logged in to Android Market™ for the first time and downloaded the Action Potato game, a Google Maps update and the BBC News feed. Action Potato rules.

33 mins The YouTube™ widget takes a little longer to load videos than visiting YouTube in the web browser, but the quality is brilliant and you can see lots more detail on the big, bright screen.

40 mins I've opened up the eBook reader and loaded up 'The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest', which I'm currently reading at home. The text looks very crisp and clear and you can turn pages by flicking your finger from the bottom right hand corner of the screen to the top left. Great for the morning commute.

50 mins Just set my favourite holiday snapshot as wallpaper and put a family pic in the digital frame, which is sitting on one of my homescreens.

53 mins Made my first video call over 3G. Brilliant to be able to see your friends as well as hear them.

60 mins Just about to catch up on last night's episode of 'Enders, using BBC iPlayer on the Tab's luscious screen. What a brilliant device.

Verdict: Samsung Galaxy Tab is so easy and fun to set up and start enjoying - in less than an hour we've got everything up and running and are busy exploring all of the amazing features.
