South Korea's Samsung Electronics unveiled Wednesday, July 20, in its home market, a new version finer and lighter in its tablet Galaxy, hoping to narrow the gap with Apple iPad. This new device has a screen of 10.1 inches (26 cm) against seven for its predecessor launched in October.
Moved from 500 dollars (352 euros) in the United States, the same price as the iPad 2 the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be in competition with more than hundreds of products most of which work with the operating system Google's Android.
Apple and Samsung, however, largely dominated the market in which Research in Motion and PlayBook and Motorola and Xoom, received a mixed reception. Hewlett Packard, with its TouchPad is the latest entrant in this segment, while the online retailer Amazon has unveiled last week its ambitions in a market heavily congested.
