Gadget site Electronista struck gold when its witters stumbled upon a telco worker live testing the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab, of all places, in a public transport.
The device, caught on video, looks to confirm the prelim specs put out by Samsung. The Galaxy Tab will have a seven-inch screen (here’s hoping its reinforced with Gorilla Glass), it will be running Android 2.2 and have 3G, and it could be running the same processor as the Galaxy S.
In the video, the telco tester using the Gaaxy Tab says that it is “very different” from the iPad (which he claims he has used before) and is “awesome”.
The appearance of the Galaxy in Australia suggests that Samsung is looking at an international launch for the device and considering that Australia is close to us than the US, this could mean that the Galaxy Tab could be en route to Malaysia as well. Possibly to do battle with the Dell Streak.
Video after the jump.
Galaxy Tab: Samsung’s Android tablet possible launch early September

Samsung could reveal its first Android based tablet at the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin which runs from 3 to 8 September if a report from English Korean news site, JooAng Daily, is correct.
The website cites an unnamed “high-ranking official” in Samsung as the source for the report. Apart from the speculative launch date, little else is known about the Samsung tablet.
Though some rumours claim that the so called Galaxy Tab will run similar hardware as the Galaxy S which includes a 1GHz processor with a dedicated GPU, 512MB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage. In addition to that, the Galaxy Tab will also pack a 7 inch display and a 4000 mAh battery. On top of that, the Galaxy Tab is reported to be able to make video calls.
We’re wondering if the 7 inch screen will be similar to the eye-watering Super AMOLED type as seen on the Galaxy S. It certainly will boost the chances of the Galaxy Tab against the iPad.
