These new thin tabs will be using the processor out of the SGS2 right? Exynos?

All they have said so far is that it have 1GHz dual-core processors. The assumption at the time was it would be a Tegra 2. The latest rumours say it could be a dual-core Exynos clocked at 1.2GHz. Nothing has been confirmed so we will just have to wait.

Exactly, I'm quite happy to wait for it.

It’s gone very quiet from Samsung but they are having a mobile event on May 24th in New York so we may get the launch then.

Or they might say "Haha! Fooled you all! We were just trying to reduce Apple sales"

LOL you never know.

Still I shall sit here waiting patiently, twiddling my thumbs until the time comes.

Do want! Shame only the 3G model seems to be getting Micro SD slot though.

Same here. To be quiet honest with 32GB on board I personally wouldn't need any more.

The screen looks rather good - is he right in saying is has a 8mp shooter? thought it was 3mp. Battery life is excellent.

I thought it was a 3.2mp and the 8mp was from the 10.1V. He's mixed them up (I hope not). The battery/screen are just great and it makes the other tablets look/feel like bricks.

what about dates, i hearing late June?

I still hear the 8th of June but suspect it will only be for the US. It may now be later. Samsung were due to hold an event on the 24th which may have given a date but that has now been cancelled.

Cheers ^^^,... one last question if you've had time to check it,..... whats the screen like in sunlight.

It's not too bad by a window but you do get reflections which is normal. The display is beautiful.
