We’ve talked about the Galaxy Tab before, but here’s a few more interesting tidbits of news. A source in the industry as told the Korea Herald that the company (Samsung) plans to launch the Galaxy Tab in August and sell hundreds of thousands of units at launch (iPad US launch estimates are around 700,000). Their plan is directly aimed at grabbing as much Korean market share as possible before the iPad launches in Korea in as early as Q3 of this year.
In addition to the 7in version of the Galaxy Tab, Samsung also has plans for 8in and 10in versions to be out by October and December respectively. Also interesting to note, Samsung will be rolling these devices out via SK Telecom, Korea’s top mobile carrier. What does this mean? Simple. Odds are very high that these devices will be able to make and receive phone calls.
In regards to Apple, you know what they say… “It sure is lonely at the top.”
