Hasta La Gadget!

We’ve got a good few updates rolling in on the Galaxy Note 10.1 front today. For starters, Samsung has announced that the S Pen equipped slate will available globally from August in WiFi and 3G varieties, with an LTE version coming later in the year. The press release and spec sheet after the break also confirm that the Note 10.1 will indeed possess a quad-core Exynos processor (alongside a 2GB dose of RAM), rather than the dual-core engine seen in our initial hands-on — although we’d already gleaned that much from retailer listings. Finally, there’s now an official video on YouTube showing off the tablet’s interface, including a multi-screen function to make use of that stylus. Samsung’s definitely pushing the productivity angle here, with the S Note / S Pen combo looking more like a publishing program than a doodle board. A sizeable and movable keyboard is also detailed, which should address the problem of landscape keys devouring screen space. Whether the UI runs on the new processor as swiftly and smoothly as the video suggests is unknown, but we’ll sort the spin from the truth in our review coming very soon.

So the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 was seen at Negri Electronics earlier yesterday, and another anonymous tipster has left the service manual for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000 in the capable hands of SamMobile, and from there, it was just a simple matter of weaning the specifications of the Galaxy Note 10.1. It must be noted that this particular tablet was first introduced at Mobile World Congress earlier this year at MWC in Barcelona, Spain, but it seemed that the system specifications of this device proved to be too low, which is why Samsung had gone back to the drawing board and revamped the specifications for a beefier model.

Expect Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to come with this puppy, where Samsung has also penciled in an update to the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system version down the road. You will find a similar 1.4GHz quad-core processor that is found on the Samsung Galaxy S3, so it ought to be speedy enough to get the job done for most tasks, gaming included. Other specifications include a 5-megapixel camera, GPS, and Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity among others.

No idea on whether the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 will be able to perform well in the sales department though – what do you think?

While the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 was introduced at MWC 2012 earlier this year, we have yet to see it go up for sale. Well, according to reports online, Samsung will be reintroducing it at the IFA 2012. Previous reports have placed the Note 10.1 re-introduction at the August 15th event – but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, if you’ve forgotten about the Galaxy Note 10.1, Samsung has just released a new commercial for the upcoming tablet. It basically shows off how productive you can be using the tablet for work – nothing extraordinary, but you get to see how the S Pen and its apps can be used for work. Check it out in the video embedded above.

Remember the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 that was put up for pre-order and then quickly taken down? Well for those of you who want to pick it up when it is released, it looks like you can again. The upcoming tablet from Samsung has recently gone up for pre-order again on various online retailers. J&R has the 32GB version for $549.99 while you can pick up the 16GB version for only $499.99. No exact date for when the goods will be delivered, but it shouldn’t be too far from now.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 is an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich tablet featuring a 10.1″ (1280 x 800) display, 1GB of RAM, a quad-core processor, 2-megapixel front facing camera, 5-megapixel rear camera, and an active digitizer and digital pen for writing or drawing. I guess you could think of it as a larger and more powerful Galaxy Note 5.3.
