Preview: New Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

The new Android-powered Galaxy Tab 10.1 from Samsung is a big improvement on the first version of this product the Korean company launched, and keeps pace with iPad in many respects, but can it overcome the huge momentum and marketing advantage of the iPad?

"Samsung has already superseded its own inadequate 10-inch Galaxy tab with a brand-new tablet that is thinner than the iPad 2. The company has also announced a tweener-sized 8.9-inch tablet.

This upgrade to the cheap-feeling Tab 10.1 we saw at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, measures in at 256.6 x 172.9 x 8.6 mm and weighs 595g. Compare that to the iPad 2, at 241.2 x 185.7 x 8.8 mm and 601 g for the Wi-Fi only model."
