Event meant for “major Galaxy launch” might be somewhat related

We didn't really expect to write about this product so soon after discovering that it is shipping prematurely, but Samsung gave us enough of a reason.

The company revealed that it would hold a special launch event on August 15, 2012.

The “major” Galaxy launch can mean a number of different things of course, but it's already past the time when the new Galaxy Note 10.1 came out. After all, the quad-core tablet is supposedly already shipping.

That said, the company may very well launch multiple things at once, provided it doesn't wait for IFA 2012 (August 31-September 5).

Regardless, an S-Pen will make its appearance alongside whatever slates get unveiled. We'll be sure to post a follow-up on the matter then, or during the aforementioned IFA event in Berlin, where we'll have a chance to get close and personal with all the new toys.
