The Samsung Galaxy tablet has been officially announced. Of course this device has been one the worst kept secrets of the tech world since...well, ever.
The new tablet will run Android 2.2 (Froyo). It will have a 7 inch TFT-LCD WVGA screen running at 1024 x 600. The Galaxy will be powered by a Cortex A8, 1.0GHz processor and a PowerVR SGX GPU and 512MB RAM.
It will have a back facing 3MP camera with auto-focus and a LED flash. The front facing camera, for video conferencing, is 1.3MP.
There will be two storage capacities offered, 16GB and 32GB, with both having the capability of upgrading another 32GB via a card slot.
There are several connection options including WiFi 802.11n, Bluetooth 3.0 and 3G if want to use the Galaxy with one of the potential carriers.
Software-wise, the Galaxy has a Reader's Hub, Media Hub, Music Hub and Social Hub acting as dedicated areas for particular uses (fancy folders really). It will not only have access to the Android Market, but the Samsung Apps store as well. The built in gyroscope, geo-magnetic sensor, accelerometer and light sensor could make for some interesting applications.
As mentioned, the Galaxy tablet will be running Android 2.2, however it won't be stock. Samsung has slathered on their TouchWiz UI, which is disappointing.
