Are Samsung ripping of HTC designs now?

Just a progression from the orignal Galaxy Tab.

Wouldn't you rather have the 10.1 size, or do you want both?

I like the smaller size form factor. It's great for travel. Our Galaxy Tab has been all over the place and this will make a nice replacement.

It's disappeared from the IFA:

It may well be to do with the 10.1 saga.

Huh?

I don't understand, it has a completely different size screen, different screen technology

Apple wins German injunction against Samsung, Galaxy Tab 7.7 pulled from IFA

In Germany only though (like the 10.1) so who cares.

It may not stop at Germany then you might care.

Pre-orders being taken at £600 now I believe (@Clove)

Isn't it a silly pre-order price?

any updates on the release date?

Still nothing. They did say a couple of months so it could November. Maybe we'll hear more at the unpacking event on the 11th.

Any news on a date for this?

I assume a pre Christmas date is out of the question?

Still nothing. You would have thought they'd try for Christmas but they're just taking pre-orders on the 8.9 so probably not.
