Oh I want this thing 7.7 inch 1280x800 S-AMOLED Plus panel! Plus this will have phone functionality like the first gen 7" Galaxy Tab.

This is my next tablet.

Galaxy Note is very appealing as well. 5.3 inch 1280x800 S-AMOLED Plus panel with pen writing capability. I don't care for the pen but rest of the specs are awesome.

As long as the screens are not PenTile, I want both devices. Especially the 7.7".

EDIT: No Tegra2. :thumbsup: Might be the first Honeycomb device without Tegra2. It has Exynos which makes it more desirable.

Super AMOLED Plus Display Unveiled at IFA 2011
Pioneer of the 7-inch mobile tablet introduces next generation Galaxy Tab, delivering the ultimate in viewing quality and portability

BERLIN – Sept. 1, 2011 –Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a leading provider and innovator of award-winning consumer electronics, today announced the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, the world's first tablet to feature the brilliant Super AMOLED Plus display. The powerful Galaxy Tab 7.7 with a 1.4GHz dual core processor measures just 7.89 millimeters thin and weighs only 335 grams (12 ounces), making this tablet one of the most portable devices in the market.

"The new Galaxy Tab 7.7 demonstrates Samsung's commitment to offering consumers the most choice in the mobile tablet market," said JK Shin, President and Head of Samsung's Mobile Communications Business. "The Galaxy Tab 7.7's ultra-thin design and WXGA Super AMOLED Plus display are impressive differentiators in the tablet marketplace and pillars of our ultimate goal of meeting a wide variety of consumer needs."

Brilliant Super AMOLED Plus display
The Galaxy Tab 7.7 is the first tablet that incorporates Samsung's Super AMOLED Plus display technology, delivering brilliant, high-contrast colors and a beautiful, crisp viewing experience. The Super AMOLED Plus display allows for a wider range of colors with greater separation between lights and darks, making images incredibly vivid.

Sleek Design with Ultimate Portability
The Galaxy Tab 7.7 provides ultimate portability and viewing quality within the Galaxy Tab portfolio, featuring a brighter display combined with a thinner and lighter design that easily fits in your jacket pocket or purse. The elegant, linear design features a stylish metal casing and rounded edges for a sleek look that's comfortable to hold while you're sitting or walking.

Impressive Speed, Power & Battery Life

It also supports Wi-Fi Channel Bonding, bonding two channels into one for improved network connection and data transfer at up to twice the speed. The device is powered by a 1.4 GHz dual core application processor for fast web-loading, seamless multitasking and superior multimedia performance. Thanks to a 5,100 mAh battery providing up to 10 hours of video playback time[1], the Galaxy Tab 7.7 does not sacrifice battery life for its ultra-thin design.

Latest 3.2 Honeycomb OS with "Samsung TouchWiz UX"
The Galaxy Tab 7.7 is powered by Android™ 3.2 Honeycomb, Android 3.2 has been optimized for a 7-inch tablet with a new compatibility zoom mode. This optimizes applications that are not designed to run on larger screen sizes, so they fit on the entire screen without distortion. In addition, the tablet supports MicroSD cards of up to 32 GB for direct media files transfer.

Samsung's TouchWiz user experience is designed with a Live Panel menu for customizing the home screen of the Galaxy Tab 7.7 with digital pictures, favorite Web sites and social network feeds.

In addition, the TouchWiz UX includes a "Mini Apps" tray of commonly used features such as task manager, calendar and music player which can be launched while other major applications are already in use. The clipboard feature allows users to copy and paste texts and images.

Powerful Multimedia
Galaxy Tab 7.7 lets you enjoy video clips without limitation, featuring 1080p full HD playback, DivX included multi codec and Micro SD. The device also includes Universal Remote Control functionality, allowing control of the entire home entertainment system – TV, Set top box, DVD, Blu-ray player, AV audio system – from one device.

Samsung Hub Services [AVAILABILITY DEPENDS ON MARKET]
Samsung's Hub Services offers easy access to content including games, eBooks, music and more. The Galaxy Tab 7.7 is the first mobile tablet to include a pre-loaded Game Hub, complete with easy social games, all delivered with lightning fast graphics. The Galaxy Tab 7.7 also features access to Samsung's Music Hub service, which offers 15 million songs for preview, download and play. The Readers Hub service features a robust library filled with more than 2.3 million books, 2,000 newspapers and 3,000 magazines in up to 49 languages, and Samsung's Social Hub service aggregates email, contacts, calendar and social network connections into a single interface.

Voice and Video Support for Better Communication
The Galaxy Tab 7.7 offers both voice and video calls for better communication. There is no need to bring a headset and BT for voice calls. In addition, it is possible to call privately in public places with Receiver Mode.

Google™ Mobile Services
The Galaxy Tab 7.7 is preloaded with the full suite of Google Mobile Services including access to more than 250,000 applications on Android Market™, Gmail™, Google Search™, Google Maps™ 5.7 with 3D maps, and Google Talk™ with video and voice chat.
 
5.3 inches is now firmly embedded in Tablet territory. I was willing to pocket the Dell Streak but no way that sucker will be used like a phone. At that size I think you will find it less convenient than a phone and not as useful as a real tablet. Having said that, I'd still like to play with one in a store.
 
Oh shit, I'd be willing to downsize just for the sexy display. PLEASE MAKE A 10" VERSION WITH PORTS SAMSUNG.
 
They have Exynos!? Want. Want. Want. That 5.3 is crazy but perfect.

Btw, the 7.7 is + (no pentile), the Note isn't (so it's pentile). Makes sense given the relative sizes.

Well with the s-amoled screen and 0.73 lbs; that 7.7 makes the perfect book reader 🙂 And yea it might be the first electronic i buy on day of release (normally i wait a few months to see what sort of issues devices have).
 
I want the Tab 7.7 even though I already have a Nook Color. Honestly I see no reason anyone would get one of the other Honeycomb tablets with this on the way.

I cannot wait until they can make S-AMOLED screens big enough for laptops, a Series 9 with one would be the ultimate ultraportable.

Damn! What kind of wizardry does Samsung possess?

1.4GHz DualCore
1280x800 Super AMOLED Plus
0.73 lbs
7.9 mm thin (Almost 1mm thinner than the Tab 10.1!)
5,100mAh battery

EDIT: This thing also has a microSD slot!

Any word on pricing?

I like my NC a lot and lovet he 7" form factor, far better than the 10", at least for me. This also meets all of the other requirements I'd want in a more expensive tablet, cameras, good screen, MicroSD...etc. Just not sure if I need to go out and get this vs keeping NC or waiting for Kal-El.

The Tab 7.7 looks awesome, but pricing is going to make or break it.

No doubt. This is the first device I would consider signing data plan contract for if necessary. It's how bad I want this. OLED this size used to go for couple thousand dollars. But hopefully this will be priced around $500-600 max.

This is the most exciting product announced this year IMO.
 
Im thinking iPhone 4 and samsung 7.7 after iphone5 comes out.

Buy iphone5 at launch, resell, buy iPhone 4 + galaxy tab
 
If this is what Samsung is making for themselves, what's on the menu for Amazon?

If the rumored 7" Amazon dual-core has SAMOLED+... 😱 Probably can't hit the price point with that, though.
 
I'll take one of these when they are out.
I like something smaller with high resolution and both of these have 1280x800.
Price it right and you have a winner.

If it launches in that price range, its dead on a arrival. Needs to be under 400, at most, if they want to move it off shelves. Preferably around 300. Without any data contracts.

Why? This has vastly superior hardware compared to all of the android tablets currently on the market, at $500 it would make the Transformer look overpriced in comparison.

$600 or less I'm preordering. $600-$1,000 I will still likely buy. Over $1k I will pass til it drops in price.

Average consumer doesn't see that. If they price it at 500 dollars, it'll barely move at all.

Price it at anything over 600, and people are going to laugh and buy the Transformer or Tab 10.1.
 
I want the Note! I cut out a piece of paper the size of the Note (Just scaled a flat pic until the screen was 5.3") and it fit in my shirt and pants pocket, so no issues with me.

It's either this or the Prime as my next phone and since I have AT&T I might not even have a choice.
 
The Galaxy Note might be my next phone unless it releases with showstopper bugs. I'm game for a bigger screen and I like the idea of a pen for writing.
