You know the old 'smoke and fire' adage by now, and while the alarms aren't sounding just yet, we get the feeling that they will be shortly. We've heard
Samsung itself confirm that an
Android-based tablet would be departing its labs sometime this year, and since then, we've also heard an
IFA debut tossed around. Given that said show is but a few weeks out, it's halfway logical to think that Sammy would be notifying some of its launch partners of its intentions. We can't be certain that things are locked in just yet, but a 'Samsung Galaxy Tablet' has recently surfaced within Vodafone UK's systems (as shown above). There's no price or release date accompanying the mention, but it
may signal that a 3G-enabled version could be coming to Britons following a proper unveiling in Berlin next month. We'll keep digging for more, and you can bet we'll be on the ground in Deutschland for a hands-on should the opportunity arise.

Who cares about that tablet?! I'm stoked for that "Nearly New" Blackberry!
Can't wait for more laughs. Seeing Android phones fail at beating the iPhone 4 is funny, but seeing Android tablets fail at beating the iPad is just funnier.
@jckchn Wow what a fail you are then since all stats show that Androids growth is about 300% in the US with Apple at 160% and in Europe the growth is even more drastic at a little over 2000% with Apple having about a 150% growth and Android phone sells outstrip Apples already and this is with Android actually just getting really high quality phones this year and Apple had a 4 year head start. Think before you talk.
What's Vodaphone run, GSM or CDMA? I hope I can just buy an unlocked Galaxy tablet and swap the sim from my Nexus One (Tmo) in when I want to go online. And since it works as a phone...
Wish they'd started with the 8inch, but I'll get the 7inch, then maybe get the 10inch when it comes out. Unless the Adam or Palmpad are out by then.
