It’s hardly that Samsung’s been working on a 7-inch tablet device called the “Galaxy Tab.” Still, it’s always nice to have confirmation, and that’s exactly what we got today from Samsung. While we’re not sure that we agree with the press release that the Tab is a “new category of device” (prepare for the initial wave of iPad comparisons in 3… 2… 1…) it does have a pretty compelling featureset, including Flash support, DivX certification, and front- and rear-facing cameras (1.3 and 3 megapixels, respectively).
Inside, the Tab’s packing a 1GHz Cortex A8 proc, a PowerVR SGX540 GPU and 512 MB of RAM. Every version of the tab can connect to Wi-Fi and 3G networks (with a data plan, of course.) It’ll be available in a 16GB and a 32GB model, and it ships with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI on top of Android 2.2 (Froyo).
No word on pricing yet, but expect the Tab to come out in Europe in September, and in the states sometime after that. The Galaxy Tab's shaping up to be one to keep an eye on.
