 September 05, 2011 11:51 am

Exactly a year later, Samsung has unveiled the iPad killer, the Galaxy Tab 7.7, which happens to be an upgraded version of the Galaxy Tab. It comes with a massive AMOLED screen which was thought to have been impossible. It was not until the end of 2010 that it was disclosed that Samsung was ready to bring its latest technology, AMOLED Plus screen into mass production.

 
The Galaxy Tab 7.7 comes with the highest resolution screen in the tablets available today, with 1280x800 pixels. This sharpness of the screen enhances the quality of display and resolution to a whole new level. What makes this device more exciting is the 1.4 Ghz dual core processor on board, enough to let the Tab stand out of the regular crowd.
 
Android 3.2 Honeycomb is the operating system which is running it royally, thus the operations on the tablet are smoother than the iPad2. Samsung offers customers three options in the memory department - 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. Wifi and HSPA+ are standard; the plans to launch the Galaxy Tab 7.7 in the west have not yet been disclosed.
 
But there is a flip side to the launch. In a brow raising move by Apple Inc in Germany, the company filed a complaint with the local court urging it to pull out Samsung from the IFA electronics show. One of the main reasons behind this act by the American gadget manufacturing giant is, that its worried about the performance of the Galaxy Tab and that customers will prefer this tablet over its own iPad. 
 
According to Apple, it has been putting a lot of efforts on its latest iPad and it will not appreciate the Galaxy Tab stealing away its show. Samsung was scheduled to show off the latest Galaxy Tab 7.7 a the IFA, but sadly it would not come to pass. The officials at Samsung state they are quite upset over this move by Apple and will be taking all available and legal options to sort it out.
 
This ban has followed by the interim ban on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in August, but the company has also taken cumulative steps by filing counter suits against Apple, claiming it has the same wireless technology that it was hoping to launch in its future models.
