Couldn't find the other thread (if there was one).

Samsung announced the Galaxy tab 8.9 and the (new) galaxy tab 10.1

Specs for the new 10.1:

A couple of big points: 8.6mm thick! PLS display, more video codecs, micro sdcard slot, but not launching till June!

I was waiting for this announcement to decide whether to get the Xoom or wait, but I didn't expect to have to wait this long. I'm also not a fan of the touchwiz ui, but I guess that can be changed.

Apparently the old 10.1 will still be launched in international markets, so maybe we (or aus) will get that.
