Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus to Hit Stores Soon

For those of you waiting with bated breath for the American launch of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus, here's some good news: the tablet will hit stores November 13th and, more importantly, it is now available for preorder online. Now might be a good time to stop reading this article, find your wallet, and divert your work or Home Network to the Samsung website.

For those of you who haven't been on the edge of your seats, here are some specs: The version of the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus to be released first will run on a 1.2 GHz dual core processor and carry 16 GB of storage, a 1024 by 600 resolution screen, and a 3MP camera that can capture 720P video. The screen will be capable of four way rotation and, in a change from the previous Samsung model, the device will run Google's Android 3.2 (Honeycomb).

With the tablet, users will have built-in features like an infrared transmitter and a Peel remote app. They will also be able to use the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus to turn on their television, control their Blu-ray player, and have constant access to all their favorite social media platforms. The device can also act as a phone. Although the carrier has not yet been determined, users should be able to insert a SIM card, make a phone call, send a text, and stream data all on their tablets.

In a crowded tablet market, it looks like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus has a leg up the Amazon Kindle Fire. Although similar in size and design, the new Galaxy comes with a higher-quality screen and the more advanced Android software (3.2 Honeycomb v 2.3 Gingerbread). It also offers two cameras - 3 megapixels in the rear and a 2 megapixel camera in the front - both of which sport LED flash. The Kindle Fire does not have a camera.

But the Fire has one strong advantage over the Galaxy Tap 7 Plus. Current reports indicate that the Galaxy will sell for around $400 - twice the price of a Kindle Fire. While it clearly has some superior features, this difference in price is not negligible. With so much tablet competition these days, it should be interesting to see if Samsung can stretch the market at its higher end.

On November 13th, we'll start getting a good idea.
