Samsung Gives Portability Another Try with Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGalaxy Tab 7.0 Plus

Since then Samsung has put forth some of the most impressive Honeycomb based tablet designs with its Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 8.9. Today, Samsung is expanding the lineup to include a new 7-inch tablet: the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.
