Update: Samsung says the leaked roadmap is inaccurate… without saying which details aren’t accurate.Â
We’re still waiting for Samsung to bring the 8.9 inch version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab to market, but according to the folks at Lithuanian site Mobili linija Samsung already has a few new 7 inch models in the works.
I’m going to take this news with a grain of salt, since the leaked roadmap comes from an obscure source and includes some devices that seem a little unusual, to say the least, including a smartphone with a 5.3 inch AMOLED display.
But if you believe the rumor, it looks like we can expect to see a couple of versions of a tablet with a 7 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display and Google Android 3.x Honeycomb operating system later this year. Samsung has been selling a 7 inch Galaxy Tab since last year, but the current model ships with Google Android 2.2 Froyo.
We also heard earlier today that Dell could push a Honeycomb update to existing Dell Streak 7 users now that Google Android 3.2 Honeycomb supports multiple screen sizes and resolutions. Perhaps we’ll see Samsung offer an update to existing Galaxy Tab 7 users.
Other products in the leaked roadmap including the upcoming 8.9 inch Galaxy Tab, a phone with a 4.65 inch, 1280 x 720 pixel display and the upcoming Google Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, and the 5.3 inch phone I already mentioned (which also reportedly has a 1280 x 720 pixel display.

It will be very disappointing if Samsung does not increase the resolution of the 7″ tablet.
