Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet will come out of the box with the latest version of Android Honeycomb 3.1.
A Wi-Fi-only edition of Galaxy Tab 10.1 is due to hit the consumer market on June 8. The 16GB version is expected to cost $499, while the 32GB version will run $599.
As the first upgrade to Honeycomb, Android 3.1 offers several fixes and well as improvements to the browser, Gmail, and other features. Nvidia’s outspoken CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, who has criticized earlier versions of Android–even pointing to certain shortcomings in Honeycomb 3.0–has been pleased with version 3.1. He called it “delightful.” The 3.1 update has already started rolling out for Motorola’s Xoom tablet.
As Samsung’s first follow-up to its 7-inch Galaxy Tab, the new 10.1-inch model will offer a 1280×800 high-definition screen, a 1GHz dual-core processor, front and rear cameras, and stereo speakers.
