Again Samsung’s Galaxy Tab Android tablet was captured on a video, taken by gianclaro. This particular version is labeled as the Galaxy Tab P1000, although it’s not completely clear whether this is the same model as the company’s South African arm flaunted on Twitter recently. It is spotted having different controls to the tablet we’ve seen pictured before, dropping the hardware D-pad and changing it with a row of touch-sensitive keys. It’s also sounds to be launch by the end of 2010.
There’s still the same 7-inch Super AMOLED display, together with some version of Samsung’s TouchWiz UI and even a enormous dialler screen which propose the Galaxy Tab will function as a phone for voice calls in addition to using its cellular connection for data purposes. Ports are unconfirmed, bar what looks like a proprietary docking connector running along the bottom of the tablet. We heard it previously that the Samsung Galaxy Tab will run Android 2.2 on an A8 processor running at 1.2GHz, 16GB of internal memory and a microSD slot. Not confirmed yet!
The Galaxy TAB P1000 will evidently be tasked with taking on the iPad. Of course, this is what all such devices have to do, since the iPad is truly the actual herald of the slate market and the one to whom all newcomers are compared. Regrettably, it is still unclear when and at what price this Tab ships, but it shouldn’t be long, considering that 8-inch and 10-inch versions are already planned for the ongoing year. Well we already knew that Samsung had lined up many interesting products for this year, hope this one will be one of them.
