The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is now available for pre-order from Amazon for $400 and up. The tablet features a 7 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display — just like the original Galaxy Tab which was released in 2010. But that’s pretty much where the similarities end.
The new tablet is thinner, lighter, and faster than the original, and it also has newer software.
Samsung’s newest tablet has a 1.2 GHz dual core processor and runs Google Android 3.2 Honeycomb with Samsung’s TouchWiz software interface running on top.
The tablet measures 0.4 inches thick and weighs .76 pounds. It’s available with 16GB to 32GB of storage, has 1GB of RAM, and a 4000mAh battery. It also includes 802.11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth, a 2MP front camera and 3MP rear camera.
The 16GB model is up for pre-order for $399.99 and the 32GB version will set you back $499.99
. There’s still no information on a ship date for the tablet.
Update: It looks like those Amazon pre-order pages might have been premature. They’ve both been removed.

Ah looks like Amazon looks the links down, just goes to a 404 page now.
Has AT&T mentioned if it will carry this model? I am considering 3 phones at the moment, but really want something like this, as I use my bluetooth headset 99% anyways.Â
Um, I’m guessing that .076 pound weight should be 0.76 or Samsung just broke every record out there.
And am I the only one who thinks an extra $100 is a wee bit much to pay for an extra 16GB of flash these days? You can buy a pair of 32GB Sandisk (not generic stuff) MicroSD cards for 99.98 with free shipping. I’m not opposed to a company making a little markup, but jeeez try not to be so bloody obvious about it. Throw in some ‘deluxe’ feature to distinguish the top model. Fancier design on the case or something that really doesn’t cost more, just do something.
Sorry about the typo… just spotted another one too.Â
But I’m totally with you on the flash storage prices. It seems like common practice to charge $100 for 16GB to 32GB tablet upgrades these days, but it’s not based in actual costs.Â
