New Galaxy tab will give iPad strong competition in 2011

Tony Cripps, Ovum principal analyst.

AUSTRALIA: "The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1's high specification and larger size should see it tapping into different market segments to both the original Galaxy Tab and Apple's iPad. Ovum would expect it to sell at least as well as its seven inch predecessor, which had sold over 2 million units at the last Samsung estimate, although we're not currently expecting it to outsell the iPad by itself.

“Taken as a whole, shipments of Samsung's Android tablets look set to give the iPad a strong run in terms of overall volumes over the course of 2011 and will help cement the Korean vendor's status as the second-ranked supplier of "lite OS" mobile Internet devices moving forward unless another vendor proves itself capable of delivering similar devices to multiple segments.”
