The Android invasion on Australia is set to push on with a new wave of stormtroopers — Samsung’s Android 2.2 Froyo-operated tablet. The company this morning announced that its Galaxy Tab device is set to arrive in Australia in the last quarter of the year and rival Apple’s iPad tablet.
“Following on from the outstanding success of the Samsung Galaxy S smartphone, we are excited to now be branching out into the tablet market to bring the Samsung Galaxy Tab to Australia,” said Tyler McGee, Samsung’s vice president of telecommunications.
“We believe the portability of the Samsung Galaxy Tab, combined with features such as front and rear camera, Flash support and telephone functionality will strongly appeal to both the consumer and business markets.”
The Samsung tablet includes telephone functionality and runs on a Cortex A8 1.0GHz Processor, with 16GB of internal memory storage and the ability to support 32GB of additional memory via an addi-in module. The tablet has 512MB of RAM.
Additional features include Flash 10.1, HD video playback with a wide range of supported format (such as DivX, XviD, MPEG4, H.263 and H.264), a 7 hour battery (based on HD video playback) and the texting/typing application Swype.
