Vodafone's version pops by for a visit
We're sure you've all seen the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 from the Korean firm from our hands on pictures in Barcelona, but we've just had a little visit from the UK version too.
The new Galaxy Tab 10.1 is a massive overhaul from the original version, rocking Android 3.0 and a much larger 10.1-inch screen (if you're not seeing the reason for the name, we're worried about you).
The front of the device, with a big ol' bezel around the edge, still has huge Apple overtones, but the presence of a front-facing camera and an 8MP rear snapper show that it's very much a next-gen beast, at least until the iPad 2 rolls around.
The rear of the phone is something that Samsung is looking to replicate across its line - a mesh-style material that makes the unit easier to hold and is less sweat-inducing on the palms.
The outer casing also uses metallic styling to create the industrial effect - it feels nice on the hand, and the ports are at a slight premium (although,irritatingly,there's no room for a microSD slot).
The UK version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is very similar to the first model we saw at MWC - Vodafone is bringing it out on our fair shores and promises not to mess with the internal software, so the only obvious difference is the presence of a logo tying it in with Google on the back.
We're still devoid of a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 release date, so keep checking back to find out exactly when you can get your hands on this mesh-backed marvel.
