Samsung Galaxy Tab (Android Tablet) Getting a Lot of Attention for a Product That May Never Appear in the U.S.

Sure, Samsung’s Galaxy S Android smartphones are selling well. However, the interest in Samsung’s unreleased Android tablet fascinates me considering Samsung has not provided price, carrier affiliation, or U.S.availability information.

The 7-inch display for the GT-P1000 model is certainly a tablet display size that I’ve been looking for. However, the Tab’s other specifications are merely “interesting” for something that appears heading to a release date just a few months (or less) before Apple starts gearing up for the second generation iPad in early 2011.

It has just two significant features that the iPad lacks is interesting: Front and rear cameras and a microSD slot. I suppose you can consider voice telephony a third major additional feature. But, I don’t think most people expect to make conventional phone calls on their iPad.

Would I buy a Samsung Galaxy Tab? Yes, it were priced at under $400 without tying it to any carrier. I don’t need yet another monthly recurring fee.
