Last updated 12-17-14





The Galaxy Tab4 computer is a "tablet"-style computer; though primarily an internet machine, it has plenty of ways to use it offline as well.

It runs the Android™ KitKat 4.4 operating system, and uses Google Chrome as its web browser. It also has a bright and cheery 10.1" LCD display with LED backlighting that gives you up to 10 hours of internet time per charge of its remarkeably slim internal rechargeable battery.

It has not but one bunghole...er...uh...ONE CAMERA , but two! A front-facing camera and a rear-facing camera.

The Tab4 is a rather "complexicated" piece of equipment to use, and I don't feel like writing a book today, so I'll simply direct you to the user manual on my own server (to prevent hotlinking from Samsung's website).
This is a .PDF file; you'll need Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, or other PDF reader in order to view it.

From this .PDF, comes the following:
  • 10.1-inch WXGA (1280x800) TFT (PLS) LCD touch screen
  • Android Version: Kit Kat 4.4
  • 1.2 GHz quad-core processors
  • Full HTML Web Browser
  • Bluetooth 4.0 Wireless technology.
  • Built-in Wi-Fi technology (802.11 a/b/g/n)
  • 3.2 megapixel camera and camcorder, plus 1.2 megapixel full HD forward-facing camera for video chat
  • Full integration of Google applications (Gmail, Google Now, Google Settings, Google Maps, YouTube, and Voice Search)
  • Photo gallery.


Finally, the file is 3.5MB (3,676,639 bytes) in size, dial-up users please be aware.



The Galaxy Tab4 is rechargeable, so I don't have to tell you which part to remove, throw over the side of the Juneau-Douglas bridge so that it goes blub blub blub all the way to the bottom of Gastineau Channel with all of the bowling balls that were lobbed over that bridge in the 1950s and 1960s, and then rather emphatically tell you not to.

To charge it, take the white cord with a USB connector at one end, plug it into the receptacle on the white "wall wart" for it, plug the "wall wart" into any convenient standard (in north America anyway) 110VAC to 130VAC 60Hz AC receptacle (or, "wall outlet" or even, "wall socket" if you prefer) and plug the small plug on the end of the cord into the female receptacle for it on the lower edge of the Tab4, as you see in the following photograph.





This is a tablet computer, not a flashlight meant to be thrashed, trashed, and abused. So I won't try to drown it in the toliet tank, bash it against a steel rod or against the concrete floor of a carport in effort to try and expose the bare Metalmarineangemon - er - the bare Metaltrailmon - um that's not it either...the bare Metalsusanoomon...er...uh...wait a sec here...THE BARE METAL (guess I've been watching too much Digimon again! - now I'm just making {vulgar term for feces} up!!!), let my mother's big dog's ghost, her kitties, my kitty or my sister's kitty cat piddle (uranate) on it, hose it down with my mother's gun, run over it with a 450lb Quickie Pulse 6 motorised wheelchair, stomp on it, use a medium ball peen hammer in order to bash it open to check it for candiosity, fire it from the cannoñata, drop it down the top of Mt. Erupto (now I guess I've been watching the TV program "Viva Piñata" too much again - candiosity is usually checked with a laser-type device on a platform with a large readout (located at Piñata Central {aka. "Party Central"}), with a handheld wand that Langston Lickatoad uses, or with a pack-of-cards-sized device that Fergy Fudgehog uses; the cannoñata (also located at Piñata Central) is only used to shoot piñatas to piñata parties away from picturesque Piñata Island, and Mt. Erupto is an active volcano on Piñata Island), send it to the Daystrom Institute for additional analyses, or perform other indecencies on it that a flashlight might have to have performed on it. Therefore, this section of the Galaxy Tab4 Tablet Computer's web page will seem a bit more bare than this section of the web page on a page about a flashlight.
