Samsung Galaxy Tablet Not So Far Away

"With the first Galaxy Tab's display measuring seven inches, Samsung's story is clever and simple: 7, 8.9, 10. The message: Not only are Samsung's tablets just as thin and light as the iPad 2, but they're also just as powerful, their cameras are better, and they come in a variety of sizes."

With all the hype around the iPad2 launch complete with lineups for the coveted device, it is easy to miss out on other tablet related announcements like that for the Galaxy Tab.  While Apple is trying to downplay hardware specifications, I do believe that it is still important, at least for the near term, as tablets and smartphones have not quite reached a point where increases in speed (or cores) is marginally noticable.  The Galaxy Tab does come with some pretty powerful hardware, enough to keep things peppy for the next month or two, until you lose interest in your toy, and start craving the newest quad-core tablets running Android 4.0 Dried Mango.
