Samsung have just announced another device which will probably receive a lawsuit pretty soon. The Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus weighs a mere 345g and is just 9.96mm thin. It runs Android 3.2 Honeycomb and that 7″ screen has a 1024×600 pixel WSVGA resolution.
Powered by a 1.2GHz Dual-core CPU it also packs full network connectivity via HSPA+ 900/1900/2100, Bluetooth v3.0 and WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n with channel bonding. Other specs include a long-life 4000mAh battery, 1GB RAM, 16 or 32GB internal memory and a microSD card slot. The device also has two cameras – a 3 megapixel shooter at the back with LED flash and a 2 megapixel up front.
As for availability, Samsung tell us to expect it in Indonesia and Austria (!?) from the end of October with European roll-out shortly after.
