Pocket-lint posted this story yesterday, and I almost missed it. Samsung announced the new Galaxy Tab on Sunday, and to the surprise of some it wasn’t a 7″ tablet. Now we know why.

Samsung Gloria makes the same mistake as the Kindle DX
December 8th, 2010 · 4 Comments · hardware news
Actually, it makes a bigger mistake, but I’ll get to that. Blogee found some early photos of Samsung’s new 10″ Win7 tablet. They made a rather unusual design decision with this gadget, in that they gave it a sliding keyboard, and yes, that is a very bad idea. It’s so bad that I’m not sure [...]
