Will Galaxy Tab buyers blink? Samsung to announce 7" Super AMOLED screens

The Super AMOLED displays on Samsung's Galaxy S smartphones are one of their best features, and it was disappointing that Samsung couldn't come up with a 7" version for the Galaxy Tab tablets. That said, the news that Samsung has developed a 7" Super AMOLED screen might make early Galaxy Tab buyers think twice.

Samsung Mobile Display is reportedly set to unveil a new 1200 x 600 7" Super AMOLED panel at the FPD-International exhibition in Japan in two weeks. However, full production will not arrive until mid-2011. The current tab has a 1024 x 600 display, by the way.

There's not much more known right now, but probably more will be revealed at FPD-International. For those wanting a 7" Android tablet, mid-2011 (and likely, a lot longer to incorporate it into actual products) is a long ways off if they want to wait for Super AMOLED.

Will this affect your decision on the Galaxy Tab? Post your opinion in the comments.

Samsung Galaxy Tab

The folks over at CellPassion have apparently received an invitation from Samsung for an upcoming press conference to be held by them on October 29. The Invite says “let’s tab….let’s talk”. From this tag line, it is pretty clear that Samsung will be unveiling their latest creation – the Samsung Galaxy Tab in India.

The Galaxy Tab sports a 7-inch S-LCD screen made of Gorilla glass with a resolution of 1024×600. The tablet is powered by a 1GHz Hummingbird processor and packs 512MB of RAM and 8/16GB of internal memory. The Tab runs on Android 2.2 with TouchWIZ 3.0 UI on top of it.

Rumors suggest that Samsung will be pricing the Galaxy Tab at around Rs. 40,000. It will be interesting to see if Samsung launches a subsidized carrier version of the Galaxy Tab with some packaged data plans in India.

Since at its rumored price the Galaxy Tab will be priced higher than the iPad, I doubt the Galaxy Tab will find many takers.

Pocketables has come across some fliers which say that the Wi-Fi only version of the Galaxy Tab will be launched in November itself, and will be priced at $499. It will be launched at Best Buy and will be available at the same time when the carriers start shipping out the preorders.

The Wi-Fi only version is exactly the same as the 3G version except that it doesn’t pack in a CDMA/3G radio. $499 seems to be the right price point for the Galaxy Tab considering that the base version of the Wi-Fi iPad is priced at $499 too, and has much less to offer than the Galaxy Tab.
