Samsung looks set to launch a mid-sized 8.9in Galaxy Tab later this month after sending US journalists a cryptic invite to a special Mobile Unpacked event during the CTIA trade show in Florida.
Dominating the invite is a picture of a tablet, framing the words: “What’s your Tab life? 78910”. With the original Galaxy Tab sporting a 7in screen, and a larger 10.1in version having been launched at Mobile World Congress, that leaves only the “89” in the middle, which seems likely to be a reference to an 8.9in screen size.
And if there is any doubt, Samsung’s Facebook page surely clears it up by proclaiming: “Were you excited about the introduction of our Galaxy Tab 10.1 at 2011 Mobile World Congress? If so, we’ve got more surprises in store at our Unpacked event on 3/22!”
There were already widespread rumours that a mid-size Galaxy Tab was in the pipelines – in fact, back when the tablet was first announced mid-last year, Samsung said it would eventually be available in three size options.
Now it seems we only have three weeks to wait.
