Samsung Tablet
Posted by ninjafour on March 28, 2011
Right on schedule, Samsung has announced the new Galaxy Tab 8.9 at its CTIA event. The Tab 8.9 isn’t alone, though, as Sammy also revealed a revised Galaxy Tab 10.1. In the past, we heard one Samsung exec mention that Apple had made the iPad 2 “very thin,” and it appears that that caused Sammy to strive to make their own tablets extremely svelte: both the 8.9 and 10.1 measure in at 8.6 mm thick, while the iPad 2 is 8.8 mm thick. Both of the new Tabs will sport 1280×800 displays, dual-core 1GHz processors, 3 megapixel rear cameras with LED flash, 2 megapixel front-facing shooters, and Honeycomb beneath Samsung’s new TouchWiz UI. Additionally, the 8.9 will be available with a 6000mAh battery, while the 10.1-incher will sport a 6860mAh battery pack. Expect the Galaxy Tab 10.1 to launch on June 8th for $499 for the 16GB model or $599 for the 32GB version, while the Tab 8.9 will hit “early this summer” for $469/16GB or $569/32GB.
