It must be nice to work for a site where people send you info about all kinds of interesting new gadgets and gizmos like they do over at The Boy Genius Report. Hopefully, we will start to get that kind of stuff around here soon enough or maybe even over at The Clickcast as well.

• 1 GHz Cortex A8 processor
• HSUPA 5.76 Mbps / HSDPA 7.2 Mbps radio (900, 1900, 2100 MHz)
• Quad-band GSM
• 7-inch WSVGA screen with multitouch
• Android 2.2
• Wi-Fi a/b/g/n
• Bluetooth 3.0,
• GPS
• Flash 10.1
• 4,000 mAh battery
• 3 megapixel rear-facing camera with flash
• 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera
• Full HD video playback at 1080p
• MicroSD card slot with support for up to a 32 GB card
• Weight 13.4 ounces

The Samsung Galaxy Tab will be launched in Europe in mid September, and in other markets including Korea, the US and Asia later. No word yet on pricing.

Check out the trailer after the jump. So what do we think? Will this be a serious competitor for Apple’s iPad?
