Am I the only one that thinks this is strange? They introduced the "7 Plus" with upgraded h/w (1.2GHz Exynos) and HC and now they're introducing what's basically the original 7" with nothing new but ICS? If the specs are correct the 1GHz chip is probably the now ancient Teg2. The only h/w difference appears to be 1MB of RAM instead of 512K. So what's their strategy? Introduce ICS via newly named devices? Will there be a Tab 10.1 "2" that has ICS? What would that mean to the existing Tab 10.1 "1?" If they tie ICS to launching second versions of their existing devices, even if they intend to upgrade the originals, we'll be waiting an awfully long time. To me, this isn't good news until we know how it affects getting ICS on existing products.

That makes sense, I acknowledge your concern but we could always use the system dump from the new tab ,especially if it has the same hw, although it may need some scaling

Here is the desktop link to the one posted in the original post. It has a link to the announcement of the tab 7.0 2

I don't understand why you'd put a three megapixel camera on a tablet when most phones have 8.

Most phones are also much thicker than the tablets are. It's a form-factor limitation. When it comes to camera, it is mostly all about the optics. It'll get there as the processors behind these cameras keep getting faster, better, smaller. But until then, you need to rely on the glass and space between them.

Sorry, system is temporarily unavailable, please try again later. -_-

ceejay83 · Feb 14, 2012

gee thanks

I think this is gonna be a budget price model to complete with Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet. But i don't think they can offer this at a price tag less than 300$

albert emmer · Feb 14, 2012

and now hopefully to see someone upload leak ics rom for the tab

Not so much...

Revealing what it says are the "official" prices across several countries in Europe, blogging site Samsung Hub found that the price in U.S. dollars for the Wi-Fi-only version ranged from $419 to $450, while the cost of the Wi-Fi+3G version varied from $523 to $568.

Here's an article that, like me, questions why it exists at all...

t1mman · Feb 14, 2012

So, basicaly, you'd get the same "hardware" than the Tab 10.1 but with a 7" screen...

LCarlsson · Feb 14, 2012

looks interesting but I personally prefer tablets with a bigger screen than 7-inch

ddwalker · Feb 15, 2012

Too bad it's a 7 inch. Will samsung release a 10 inch version soon?

fage88 · Feb 15, 2012

i cant wait for ICS on my 10.1. Honeycomb is a joke. I am running a KANG ics build but i cant wait for the real thing

danielsf · Feb 16, 2012

I have been looking at videos of this tab, and scrolling through home screens in portrait packed full of widgets looks flawlessly smooth. I really hope we get that new touchwiz launcher.

Edit: I have the galaxy s2, and I have been running the an ICS leak of the last few weeks, Samsung has updated the touch-wiz launcher a lot for ICS, and it looks a lot like the launcher on this new tab. So if they will update the s2 to this new launcher style, hopefully they will do the same for our tab, as this new touchwiz launcher looks smooth and very nice. If it is as smooth on our tab as it is on this new 7inch, it will make all my tabby dreams come true

To the OP; I think this thread is a good idea, thank you. But just as constructive criticism

, you really should have sated more about what you meant this thread to be about in your first post
