Samsung Tablet: This Poorly Kept Secret Could Have Fall U.S. Debut

The new tablet reportedly will be called either the Galaxy Tab or Galaxy Tape, depending on which source you believe. A report on Vietnamese site Tihn te, says that the device will run Android 2.2 ("Froyo"), and come with a 1.2-GHz processor, 4,000 mAh battery, 16-GB storage/32GB microSD slot and a 7-inch Super AMOLED screen. The Galaxy tablet is reportedly slated for a September debut.

According to several published reports, including those on itproportal.com and Techtree.com, the new device is inspired by the Galaxy S i9000, an Android-based smartphone. That handset has been introduced in Asia, and it's likely to hit these shores next month on T-Mobile.

The Super AMOLED screen is new on Samsung's phones this year; the Galaxy S boasts a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen. According to the company, the upgraded screedn is brighter, clearer, and less reflective than the general AMOLED. It is also energy saving, resulting in a longer battery life.

A YouTube video has also surfaced that shows the devices being disassembled.
