14 DAY TRIAL // South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung has confirmed officially the number of Samsung Galaxy Tab Units it managed to sell to date.
The company managed to move a number of 600,000 units all around the world since the launch of the tablet PC on some markets in mid-October.
Previously, the leading handset vendor estimated that it would be able to ship a number of more than 1 million Galaxy Tab units before the end of the ongoing year, and it appears that it is well on track to reach its goal.
Moreover, the company also confirmed that it has hard times meeting demand for the tablet PC, which is outpacing supply at the moment.
According to the mobile phone maker, demand for the Galaxy Tab has been “robust, outpacing supply in most countries,” a recent article on Samsung Hub reads.
In its homeland market, the handset vendor announced Galaxy Tab sales of around 30,000 units since the slate's release on shelves November 14.
All in all, it appears that Samsung is more than optimistic when it comes to the performance of its first tablet PC to run under Google's Android operating system.
We should also note that this contradicts recent analyst estimates that the company halved the Galaxy Tab production due to poor sales.
Packing a 1GHz Hummingbird application processor inside, the Galaxy Tab can offer great multimedia capabilities, including HD video playback, which goes perfectly with its 7-inch touchscreen display.
The tablet PC also comes to shelves with 16GB/32GB of internal memory, complemented by a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage space.
Its specs list shows a 3.2-megapixel photo snapper on the back, complemented by a 1.3MP camera on the front for video calling.
The Android 2.2-based slate also includes 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity options, as well as great Internet browsing capabilities, complemented by fast access to social networking sites, email, and messaging.
