Summary Samsung launched a second tablet computer on Sunday, with a bigger screen and more processing power than the original Galaxy Tab that is seen as the only real rival to Apple's iPad.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is intended to be a multimedia hub for enthusiasts of games, electronic books and social media, with a 10.1 inch (25.7 centimeter) screen, dual surround-sound speakers, and front- and rear-facing cameras. The tablet, with two core processors to better handle media, is based on the latest Google Android platform, Honeycomb which has been optimized for tablets. Samsung, now the worlds second-biggest phone maker after Nokia, also launched a new premium smartphone, the ultra-slim Galaxy S II, designed around hubs for social networking, reading, games and music.
