Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1 Release ?

After a couple of hints over the past month, Samsung has now launched the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9. Along with that announcement, Samsung also re-announced the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Both tablets will run the Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system.

The Galaxy Tab 8.9 has an 8.9 inch display that has 1280 x 800 pixels. Powering the unit is a 1GHz dual-core processor. The tablet is a little smaller than the iPad (1 and 2) and Samsung have also managed to cram everything in to an 8.6mm unit which also beats the new iPad 2 by a few mm.

An interesting item to find in the technical specs reveals that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has thinned down a little and now measures 8.6mm which also is thinner than the iPad 2.

As for a release date, expect sometime in the summer for the smaller tablet and a release date of June 8 has been given for the launch of the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
