Samsung Electronics recently has issued a statement in which it said that the company is planning to sell its latest Galaxy Tablet Computer globally. Samsung will sell its Galaxy Tab in U.S, Japan, Italy and South Korea and other listed countries in a move to catch up with the frontrunner Apple and other tech giants as far as Tablet Computer Market is concerned. Although, Samsung’s Galaxy Tablet device will also be competing against the likes of DELL, HP and a new comer in the tablet market that is BlackBerry makers RIM with their PlayBook, but according to analysts the Galaxy Tablet which was unveiled by the company last month is the most viable contender to Apple’s Tablet Device iPad. Some are ranking it to be the most credible competitor to Apple as far as market share is concerned.
Physical specification wise it is smaller than the iPad but on the other grounds Samsung is trying frantically to beat Apple. Samsung has recently forged a deal with four major mobile carriers of US which will be officially selling the device. Similarly, Samsung has also inked deals with the media companies which are developing applications and providing programming services for its Multimedia Service that is Media Hub.
The Samsung’s tablet device is based on the Google’s Android operating system and has a screen size of 7 inches almost 2 inches less than iPad. The Galaxy Tab will be put on sale globally on different dates; in Italy it will be sold in October, the US and Japan will see the tablet going on sale in November. Samsung according to some sources is aiming at almost 1 million unit sales globally by the end of 2010.
NTT DoCoMo which is a consumer electronics giant in Japan will be selling Samsung’s Galaxy S Smartphones as well. Foreign consumer electronics makers have always struggled in Japan in terms of sales numbers, but Apple has somewhat broken this cocoon over the Japanese market and according to an analyst at Barclays, Samsung will definitely be a hit in Japan.
