Here is the latest news on the Galaxy Tab. ( I see DABOSS posted on the 16th about the IFA and the GT) Note the mention of HD movies and a swipe ( is that a card reader like we have on the eVU? it is spelled differently but what does it do? take credit cards? ) Just excited because of the agreement with Samsung months ago. Was this somehow part of it? Is eDigital going to be at the IFA? or have a rep there? And there is Flash...

Coming straight from Samsung's camp, the anticipated 7-inch Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 will be launched officially on September 2 at IFA 2010 in Berlin, Germany. Even the official website for the same is live - http://galaxytab.samsungmobile.com. Yesterday, we reported about a spy video testing of the tablet but this is the real deal. The new Galaxy Tab tablet sporting a 7-inch gorgeous screen will run Android operating system and will support video calling as well. Looks like Apple's iPad tablet will have a decent competitor finally.

Details and features of the upcoming Galaxy Tab have been leaked already. This 7-inch display bearing tablet will run Android 2.2 Froyo, Swype input interface, video calling, HD movie playback, e-reader, GPS Navigation and most interesting - Flash Support. Of course the tablet will have a camera (3.2 megapixels is what is being buzzed) on the back to click photos and then quickly share online.

One interesting feature that Samsung is pushing along with Android is the Augmented Reality option with Layar that shows digital information in real time. Internally, we know that the Galaxy Tab packs practically the same microprocessor and graphics processor used in Galaxy S i9000 smartphone. eBook reading aficionados can make the best of the e-reader application that will come by default. The screen will support 1024x600 pixel resolution which is good enough for that size.

We believe support for Microsoft Office suite documents and files would be available through ThinkFree Apps that are available in Android Market. Untill official specifications are released, we won't know if the tablet has an out-of-the-box support for DivX movies. Check out the official teaser below.
