Samsung Galaxy Tape released in September
Android OS tablet set to be unveiled at IFA trade show
We heard rumour that it was visiting retailers in September, a tale supported by news of an official launch next month for the Samsung Galaxy Tape or Tab. You never know - we might know the right name by then.
This news of the launch originates from Korean news agency JoongAng Daily. Quoting a 'high ranking official' at Samsung, the statement reads, in translated form: 'We will showcase our latest Smart TV and interchangeable lens camera models at the show. We will also showcase our tablet the first time officially.'
To date we've been bound to a stream of leaks about this tablet or Android tablet, which is said to be similar in looks towards the Galaxy S Android smartphone and running Android 2.2 at launch. Additionally, it has a 7-inch super AMOLED display, 16GB of storage (expandable to 32GB), a timely 1.2GHz A8 processor for speedy web browsing, Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity and Samsung's TouchWiz UI.
A previously-rumoured launch event never happened, but this rumour does have more weight and a good amount of logic too. Whether it will be on the shelves within weeks and days of that launch isn't clear - but it's a good bet to be around before Xmas.
