Vodafone UK lands Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 exclusive launch

Posted in: carrier, GalaxyTab, Release Date, samsung, samsung galaxy tab, SamsungGalaxyTab, slate, tab, tablet, Today's Chili, uk, vodafone
We reported yesterday that Vodafone customers would be the first to get their hands on the lightweight 10.1-inch tablet, and now we’re getting word via Twitter that Vodafone UK will carry the Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 exclusively in Britain, at least to start. Thus far, that’s all she wrote — Vodafone’s tweet ends with “More info Coming soon!” but they’ve yet to follow up. So there’s still no confirmation of a solid release date — we’ve heard March for Asia and Europe — or pricing, and Americans eagerly awaiting the tablet’s Stateside debut have been left out in the cold, but at least our British friends will know where to go when the slim slate makes it to market.

[Thanks, Chris W.]

Geez, it’s been a long weekend of almost incessant Galaxy Tab II teasing, but the time has come: Samsung’s finally releasing the official details of its 10.1-inch, Android Honeycomb tablet to the world. Contrary to the leaks, the tablet is called the Galaxy Tab 10.1 — grabbing its moniker from the screen size, obviously — and like the rest of the upcoming Android 3.0 tablets it’s powered by a dual-core Tegra 2 processor, will be available with 16GB or 32GB of storage, and has a front-facing 2 megapixel camera as well as a 8 megapixel imager around back. That’s just the tip of the iceberg, but we’ve got the nitty-gritty too — find specs, full impressions and even some video of the slate in action after the break! Oh, and don’t forget to stop by the galleries below to see the new Tab 10.1 up close and then face off with Sammy’s original Tab, not to mention the Apple iPad.

Samsung Galaxy Tab II and Galaxy S II pics leak out ahead of Barcelona event (update: new pic!)

Posted in: Android, GalaxyTab, honeycomb, leak, leaked, leaks, mwc, mwc 2011, Mwc2011, pictures, samsung, tablet, Today's Chili

There are still twelve hours to go before Samsung unveils its new products at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, but somehow there are already a series of pictures allegedly “from the event.” We’re not complaining, though, because four of them show off the new 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab II. We discovered yesterday that Sammy’s slate will run Android 3.0 Honeycomb at 1280 x 800 resolution and on a 1GHz processor, and heard rumors it’d have an 8 megapixel camera with HD video recording as well, but this is the first time we’ve laid eyes on a decent image of the tablet, and we imagine you’re in the same boat. Join us on a journey over to Samsung Hub to see the full set (and more shots of the Samsung Galaxy S II), or if you’re too busy priming your touchscreen-smudging thumbs, simply hit the break to see a render of what the unit’s back might look like.

Update: We’ve gotten another apparent shot of the Galaxy S II in all its glossy, rendered, press-shot-quality glory — and you can see it after the break.
