SamsungGalaxyTab10.1and8.9announcement The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 was first announced at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona earlier this year. But after the iPad 2 announcement by Apple in the begining of March, Samsungs Executive VP Lee Don-Joo told journalists that "Apple made it very thin". Samsung obviously went back to the drawing table and changed the specifications for the Galaxy Tab 10.1. The iPad 2 is 8.8 mm thin while the originally Galaxy Tab 10.1 specification told us it would be 10.9 mm thin. Todays announcement changed the winner of having the thinnest tablet on the market. Samsung won. Both the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Galaxy Tab 8.9 are 8.6 milimeters thin.Like most Android tablets, the two new Galaxy Tabs has a 1 GHz dual-core processor. They also have what some network operators call 4G. Which is HSPA+ with maximum download speed of 21 Mbps. Even though the display size is different, the resolution is the same with 1280 x 800 pixels.Samsung has added a couple of software features which should differentiate the two Galaxy Tabs from other Android tablets. Readers Hub and Music Hub will give users access to 13 million songs, 2000 newspapers, 2.2 million books and 2300 magazines. Samsung Social Hub merges all communication applications like email, instant messaging, contacts, calendar, Facebook, Twitter into a single interface.

Some may not share that view. creating 3 different tablets and mass marketing them with slightly different specs causes higher manufacturing costs, warranty costs, and well fragmentation amongst target user base. We'll see how this rides out though.
