Samsung Galaxy Tab specs announced

Samsung is one company on the roll, and they plan to keep it that way. Today, at IFA (a consumer electronics fair held in Berlin) the Samsung Galaxy Tab has been officially unveiled. Referred to by Samsung as a “smart media device”, this will be the first tablet device that really stands a chance against Apple’s iPad.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab will be launched (as we previously hinted) with Vodafone in the European market. The Samsung Galaxy Tab release date is October for the European market. The US release date will follow later this year.
