The iPad is about to get some company.
Samsung’s Galaxy Tab, a 7-inch Android slate, is set to debut this Thursday. While we’ve been hearing about the rush of Android tablets for some time now, the Galaxy Tab is arguably the first high-end Android tablet to hit the market and thus the first real contender to Apple’s “magical” device.
Welcome to the (Tablet) Jungle
Samsung’s Galaxy Tab is just the beginning of Android’s entry into the tablet battle. Motorola is expected to have a high-end Android tablet on the market sometime in the coming months; the latest rumors point to it being a 10-inch device with Google’s as-of-yet unreleased Android 3.0 operating system. Samsung itself is believed to have additional Android tablets in the works, too, including 8- and 10-inch versions of the Galaxy Tab described above. Even Google may be unveiling its own tablet before long, though it could very well end up running Chrome OS instead of Android.
Ultimately, it’s all good news for us: Just like we’re seeing with smartphones right now, the more competition there is, the more each manufacturer is forced to fight for our buying dollar. As our options expand, innovation improves and products get increasingly better. Android will no doubt be a fierce contender in the tablet war, but Apple isn’t about to lie down and disappear.
No matter how you look at it, this battle will benefit us all.

Looks like Samsung’s new tablet will land on Verizon.
ZoomIn early August, a leaked Verizon roadmap revealed that the wireless carrier planned to support an unnamed Samsung tablet here in the States. Previously listed as SCHI800BKV, a new leak has now surfaced to reveal that the device will actually be Samsung’s Galaxy Tab.
This same device was also shown via leaked images to be heading to Vodafone overseas.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab is currently slated for an unveiling next week at IFA 2010. Up until now, Samsung has remained somewhat tight-lipped in regards the device. Little is “officially” known about the Galaxy Tab save for its 7-inch Super-AMOLED display (with a 1024 x 600 resolution), the 1.2 GHz A8 processor, Swype functionality, and the possibility of running Android v2.2 (aka Froyo).
However other reported features eventually surfaced including HD movie playback, Flash support, a 3.2-megapixel camera, a front-facing camera for video calling, PC connectivity, and a UI that will feature Samsung’s TouchWiz platform.
Samsung dropped clues concerning the upcoming tablet back in July. Although the company did not reveal details, Samsung was reportedly introducing the device during Q3 2010. Currently Samsung is slated to officially announce the device on Thursday, September 2–just in time for IFA 2010, kicking off on Friday
