Samsung is readying its Galaxy Tab 2, a 7-inch tablet that will be the company’s first to run Google’s Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).
“Available in both 3G and Wi-Fi varieties, this redux doesn’t mark a huge departure from its predecessor, packing a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and a 1024 x 600 LCD,” reports Engadget. “The big changes, however, come in the software department, with the Galaxy Tab 2 shipping with Android 4.0 straight out of the box.”
New features include a Video Hub, which offers over 1,000 film titles for purchase or rental; S Suggest, a new service that offers recommendations on apps; AllShare Play, which allows users to play or stream content on their Galaxy Tab from PCs or other smart devices and compatible third-party services; and built-in voice calling that can be used for Google+ Hangouts.
Pricing has yet to be announced. Shipments are scheduled to begin in the UK in March.
The Engadget post includes a 5-minute video of the keynote announcement for the new Galaxy Tab.
