Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 unveiled at Mobile World Congress: "
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is officially official! Samsung unveiled the new Honeycomb tablet at this evening’s press event in Barcelona. The new Android tablet is powered by a 1 GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor from NVIDIA and features a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 (WXGA) TFT capacitive display, 8 megapixel rear camera with LED flash which is capable of full 1080p video recording, 2 megapixel shooter on the front for video calling, and either 16 or 32GB of internal storage. The Tab 10.1 features HSPA+ 21Mbps connectivity over 850/900/1900/2100 and EDGE/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900, in addition to Bluetooth® technology v 2.1 + EDR, USB 2.0, and WiFi 802.11 (a/b/g/n). The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 measures in at 246.2 x 170.4 x 10.9mm and weighs 599 grams which is pretty surprising since it comes equipped with a 6860mAh battery.
There’s no doubt that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is Samsung’s response the the Motorola XOOM. Samsung has not revealed their pricing strategy for the Tab 10.1 but there are a few reports circling which indicate that it may go on sale as early as March. Since the Galaxy Tab 10.1, XOOM, and G-Slate all run on nearly identical hardware and software, we’re hoping to see some pretty fierce competition once all three Honeycomb tablets are available in the marketplace.
