Samsung Galaxy Tab

Samsung Galaxy Tab. Verizon Wireless was rumored to launch an unknown Samsung Tablet in the near future and based on a new inventory screen shot, it looks like that Samsung Tablet is actually the well known Samsung Galaxy Tab. Even though the Galaxy Tab has yet to be officially announced, many rumors and leaks have surfaced in the past few weeks, all of which are making the general public desire the device even more.

It is no secret Samsung will undoubedtly launch the Galaxy Tab first in Korea, but what about the rest of the world, especially the United States? In the U.S., Apple’s iPad reigns supreme and it will take a powerful Android tablet to dethrone the iPad, which uses AT&T’s 3G service. If the Galaxy Tab actually launches with Verizon Wireless, it will make for an interesting battle between Android and iOS, Samsung and Apple, and Verizon Wireless and AT&T.

It is definitely fitting for Verizon to launch the Galaxy Tab, but as of now we cannot confirm this rumor as truth. Hopefully we will hear more in the coming days as Samsung is scheduled to announce the Galaxy Tab at IFA in Berlin.

Some say that Samsung Galaxy Tab is going to run on Android 3.0 which I totally doubt because 3.0 should be released next year in Q1.

Samsung Galaxy Tab: What We Know

The info on Samsung’s Galaxy Tab is trickling in slowly but surely. Aside from its 7-inch display, we now know that the Galaxy Tab will feature a front-facing camera for video chatting and will run Android 2.2, the most recent edition of Google’s Mobile operating system.

Unofficially, reports suggest the Galaxy Tab will sport a 1GHz processor and a 3.2-megapixel camera. Alleged leaks point to the tablet’s display being AMOLED with 1024-by-600 resolution. The Galaxy Tab is also widely expected to have a built-in GPS system.

In terms of connectivity, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab is believed to feature both 3G and Wi-Fi data along with regular phone calling functionality (thankfully, various leaks point to the calls being conducted via Bluetooth, not an in-device earpiece).

The iPad, in comparison to those specs, has a 9.7-inch screen with 1024-by-768 resolution. It has no cameras and no GPS. It runs on a 1GHz processor
