Here it is, official as official gets: Samsung just announced the Galaxy Tab 7.7. As the name suggests, it has a 7.7-inch (1280 x 800) display -- specifically, a Super AMOLED Plus panel. Like so many other 7-inchers hitting the market, it runs Android 3.2 and yes, that's a skinned flavor of Honeycomb, with Samsung's tablet-optimized TouchWiz UX layered on top. Inside, it runs the same Samsung-made dual-core 1.4GHz processor found in the new Galaxy Note, along with an HSPA+ radio promising theoretical download speeds as high as 21Mbps. Other specs for the 0.74-pound (335-gram) tablet include 16GB to 64GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, a 5,100mAh battery rated for 10 hours, 802.11n WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0 and dual 3MP and 2MP cameras. In a nutshell, it's the in-between-sized do-over a lot of folks have been awaiting since the original Galaxy Tab grew stale -- a slate that promises faster speeds and some seriously improved viewing angles. We'll be the judge of that in our review, but in the meantime stay tuned for some early hands-on impressions. sos cili

Now the big question is, if you get this Galaxy Tab 7.7, what smartphone will you be getting?

Tab 7.7 weights approx. 50% of Xoom (335g vs 730g).. and the whole point of Android is having variety... there is always a device that suits wat u want... look else where if this one is not wat u want to see... honestly i rather take Iconia A500 than Xoom...

Do you still need a smartphone with that?It's small enough to be portable and it also has telephony so IMO it fills the roles of a phone and tablet quite well,just make sure you use a handsfree kit while talking

THe Note is considered super big already for my usage, the 7.7 is.....  Not very suitable for me I would say.... you need to purposely bring a bag/ pouch around just to put the 7.7, abit inconvenient don't you guys think? But a small crapphone + 7.7 seems just nice yo I think for most ppl
