According to AnandTech, new Samsung tablets will have PLS screens. PLS technology is expected to be better than IPS and 15% cheaper. Viewing angle is excellent, as you may see in the video below:
I’m definitely will be getting Galaxy Tab 8.9 also due to following features:
1280×800 on 8.9 inches – 170ppi pixel density (iPad tops only 132ppi)
SamFirmware has just posted a first firmware for Samsung I9200 (Galaxy S II) and the guys over at XDA are already looking into it.

Eldar Murtazin has also mentioned I9200 in his Twitter feed and podcast, speaking about dual core processor, ~10 mm metal case, 4″ 300 ppi screen and 8 MP camera with good lenses (about 1 cm thick, which is quite big for a smartphones). The planned release date is February or March 2011.
If you’re an Android developer, please make sure that your app will work properly on the Galaxy Tab. The best way to do this is to create AVD with an add-on provided by Samsung.
To download it:
Run the AVD Manager and select Available Packages in the left panel.
A 7-inch tablet with a TFT display, Android 2.2, 1.0 GHz Cortex A8 processor, 16GB of on-board memory, 4000mAH battery, 3G, Bluetooth 3.0, WiFi (up to N), a front-facing camera, GPS and an SD card slot.
It’s smaller and lighter than the iPad (370 gram) with almost the same resolution (1024×600). Unfortunately it doesn’t have the rumored Super AMOLED display nor USB ports. DivX support is a big plus though.
