Samsung's 7-inch 'Galaxy Tape' to run Android 2.2 on 1.2GHz A8 processor

More details about Samsung's new tablet have emerged courtesy of Tinh te and from what it claims is a highly reliable source. This time around, the Vietnamese site is claiming that Samsung's 7-inch Tab will be running Android 2.2 (Froyo) on an A8 processor clocked to a peppy 1.2GHz. It's all powered by a 4,000mAH battery that contributes to the tablet's 370-gram weight with 16GB of on-board storage and up to 32GB of microSD expansion. Oh, and the 7-inch panel is said to be of Samsung's Super AMOLED variety which should make it readable outdoors judging by its smaller sibs. Sounds hot, but we'll have to see how Samsung's TouchWiz UI holds up to being stretched across all that very expensive screen-estate.

P.S. We've also been told that it'll be called the "Galaxy Tape," not Tab or S-Tab as previously rumored.

LOL.. Its not meant to be a phone. Neither was Dell Streak which has a smaller screen. Personally I think 7" is the perfect size for a device of this sort. Now if only we get a Tegra 2 device like Adam in this size.
