Samsung Galaxy Tab revealed

If only there were more tablets in the world, you know? Samsung has heard the call, and truth be told they might have a nice crack at creating something desirable. The 7-inch Galaxy Tab (previously referred to as the S-Pad), runs Android with Samsung's TouchWiz UI on top (similar to the Galaxy S sitting next to it). According to the Tweets by Samsung Blog South Africa -- an odd place indeed to make this sort of unveiling -- it has a "high resolution" screen, and it's supposed to be AMOLED if an earlier leak on the "S-Pad" is to be believed. That S-Pad info also mentioned a Samsung Apps store, which would make sense because as far as we know Google isn't letting "official" Android Market-equipped, Google-blessed tablets out of the gate just yet.

Samsung has all the key technologies under its arms:

1. Sceen (S-OLED)
2. Application Processor (Hummingbird)
3. Memory (NAND and RAM)
4. Software (Bada OS, TouchWiz 3.0)
5. Samsung Apps store (Soon to launch into their TV line up)

The synergistic effects of their consumer electronics know-how with their components know-how is a force to be reckoned with.

Nice tablet. They should ask fans to test it give there feedback to improve on it before they release it.

Look closely at the photo. The tablet has know sim card in it. I think it might be a pre-production model that has no changes made to the os. I can not believe Samsung would make it have a phone feature.

looks quite similar to the Apple Ipad. maybe some design copyright violations here? the rounded corners of the Samsung tablet look exactly like the rounded corners of the IPOD by Apple.
