New Samsung Galaxy Tablet "iPad Rivals"
We’ve seen the 7-inch Galaxy Tab get official today but that’s not the only tablet Samsung plans for the immediate future. In fact, 2011 might bring us lots of other Galaxy Tab versions, and the more successful the Tab will be, the better Tab successors we’ll have.
Samsung has definitely realized how important the tablet is in the mobile business, considering how successful Apple is at selling the iPad. And while the tablet was reinvented by Cupertino this year, that doesn’t mean competitors can’t offer an iPad killer in the following months or years.
In 2011 the game will go to the next level. Apple will up the ante with a new iPad 2 and it’s quite possible to see a 7-inch version of the device too. Samsung confirmed that it will bring Android 3.0 to the Galaxy Tab and the future 2011 Tab version will come with Android 3.5 Honeycomb on board at some point in 2011.
Moreover it looks like Samung will have a full “tablet portfolio” in 2011 which means that other screen sizes are also being considered by Samsung, and probably that’s right approach too.
Analysts, and we know better than to always assume they’re right, say that in 2011 no less than 30 million tablets will be sold. A large share of this number would probably go to Apple, but devices like the Galaxy Tab, the Folio 100, the upcoming Stingray or BlackPad, will surely steal market share from Apple in the following 12 months.
Getting back to Samsung, we can only appreciate the direction their heading to. Android has become a huge part of their business, and if Android 3.0 Gingerbread and Android 3.5 Honeycomb are coming to tablets soon, then we’re definitely interested to see Android’s future versions equip Samsung’s the next Galaxy S models.
The tablet will come in one model and weigh 380 grams, half that of its rival, the Apple iPad 3G with Wi-Fi.
As for applications, the tablet uses Google’s Android operating system, which can access the thousands of apps on the Android Marketplace. Samsung will also have its own store available for developers to create apps specifically for the tablet.
