The incredibly thin iPad 2 was just announced a few weeks ago and obviously caught Sammy by surprise with its slim profile. Two days after, it vouched to go back to the drawing board, calling the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 that was announced just last month "inadequate" with its 0.43" (10.9mm) thickness.
So what's an innovative company like Samsung to do when it gets outdone? Cry? Blame our consumption-oriented society? No, Sammy just sat down, and totally reworked the chassis of its Galaxy Tab 10.1 to fit it in 0.33" (8.6mm), a tad less than even the iPad 2's 0.34" (8.8mm). The weight is also less than Apple's finest, at 1.31 pounds (595g).
The new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 sports 1GHz dual-core chipset, 10.1" screen with 1280x800 pixels, and a 3MP camera with LED flash on the back, plus a 2MP front-facing cam. It is not entirely clear if we will still have the Tegra-2 chipset here, or Samsung's Exynos, that we saw tested on tablets a few months ago. Not to worry, though, the chipset is still capable of Full HD 1080p video playback, and the tablet records HD video at 30fps via the rear cam.
Besides the Wi-Fi version that will come out first, we are also looking at HSPA+ variant with 21Mbps download speeds. As for internal memory, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will have 16GB and 32GB versions, plus a microSD card slot for extra storage.
