Samsung has today revealed an update of its original Galaxy Tab, adding Android 3.2 and a dual-core processor to its smaller 7″ tablet.
As well as a software upgrade to the Honeycomb tablet version of Android, the Tab 7.0 Plus now includes a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, while the secondary front-facing camera has been beefed up from 1.3megapixels to 2.0.
The Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is also a little thinner and lighter than Samsung’s first attempt at an Android tablet, weighing 345g and with a thickness/thinness of just 9.96mm (the first weighed 380g and was 12mm thick).
The Tab 7.0 Plus has been announced for some parts of Europe thus far, and is expected to launch in mid-October. [Sammy Hub]

1. Why now, why not wait and put Ice Cream Sandwich on it?
2. If that’s how it looks Apple are likely to get their panties in a bunch about it (again)
Poor name choice.. Windows has it beaten by a half point!

Remember the name refers to the size, not the number of devices sold.
Yeah, I won’t even begin to understand why WP7.5 is called what it is.. Also, I hope that comments with links will be edited for their shorter counterparts. Made all the comments seem much cleaner on Old school Giz.
Also, I don’t see any notification of reply.. Luckily i’m so obsessed with what people think of what i’ve said, I check back and see anyway.
I’m not upset about editing comments either, I always left the original comment up with spelling errors or whatever, and put an EDIT: note at the bottom. Usually complaining about Lion’s autocorrect or the like.
Tee hee
As if Android fragmentation wasn’t bad enough already with all these different models and versions, now we’re getting to the stage of having fragmentation within just Samsung. As for releasing another 7″ tablet, they better price it competitively or the Kindle Fire will walk all over it.
My only question is: will my galaxy tab (the original 7″ one) still be suported, or atlest have honeycomb added to it?
