With only a few weeks away until Samsung unveils the Galaxy Tab 2 and Galaxy S 2 at MWC 2011, the original Galaxy Tab is still breaking headlines — and more importantly, sales records. Samsung has confirmed via press release this morning they’ve sold more than two million Galaxy Tabs in the three months since launch.
As we anxiously await the Motorola XOOM and the other Android 3.0 tablets set release next month, Samsung continues to maintain strong sales with the Android 2.2 Galaxy Tab. With availability in 94 countries and nearly 200 mobile carriers, Samsung has carved out a market for a seven inch tablet — even though Steve Jobs suggests no market exists.
According to Yonhap News during the past two months, 500,000 Galaxy Tabs were sold in Europe, another 350,000 in North America and 330,000 in Asia. These sales, combined with the one million units sold in the first thirty days, position the Galaxy Tab as the best selling seven inch tablet.
With dozens of Android tablets planned for 2011, including the second-generation Galaxy Tab, the question remains — what does the future hold for the original Galaxy Tab? We’d love to hear your thoughts, especially if you currently own the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Will you retire your tablet in favor of the newer and faster Galaxy Tab 2?
