Galaxy 10.1 with Honeycomb

Bringing a new contender into the increasingly-crowded tablet market, Samsung has revealed Galaxy Tab 10.1, their newest Android-based tablet. The new Tab will run Android 3.0, or “Honeycomb”, and can be expected in some markets as early as March.
The updated Tab 10.1 is powered by NVIDIA’s dual-core Tegra 2 processor and sports a 10.1-inch screen with a 1280×800 resolution (slightly better than the current iPad’s resolution). There will be 16 and 32 GB models, and both will support WiFi and 3G capability on GSM networks. Unlike the original Galaxy Tab, the Tab 10.1 will not include Samsung’s Android platform customizations or its TouchWiz user interface. It will be a stock, untainted Honeycomb device.
The Tab 10.1 is lightweight at 1.23 pounds; it weighs less than both the iPad and the Motorola Xoom. Android enthusiasts are going to have some tough tablet choices to make in the next month or so, but the relative similarity of the hardware specs between the devices means there isn’t a lot of differentiation going on yet.
The arrival of Honeycomb could finally give Samsung the kind of software user experience needed to compete with iPad in a way that the original Tab could not.
