Samsung to announce 8.9-inch tablet soon?

Samsung

A report this week from the Korean Yonhap News suggests that Samsung will soon add a third Android tablet to its lineup. The new device, likely another Galaxy Tab model, will apparently come with an 8.9-inch display, placing it between the 7-inch Galaxy Tab and the upcoming Galaxy Tab 10.1.

The report had few other details beyond indicating that this third tablet would launch in the first half of the year, possibly as early as next month. A global launch is planned.

It will be interesting to see how this 8.9-inch model stands up against the similarly-sized LG Optimus Pad.
