Samsung Galaxy Note 800 10.1 hands-on a solid tablet with bi

Samsung revealed details about the Note 10.1 that showed a tablet with a quad-core 1.4GHz Exynos processor, 2GB of RAM, and WiFi and 3G options, although it was originally revealed in February with lesser specs—a 1.4GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB/32GB/64GB configurations. The 3G and 64GB versions of the tablet won't be available at launch, but company representatives noted that the existing tablets can be upgraded via the included memory card slot. The display screen is WGXA with a 1280x800 resolution. The tablet I handled looked OK, but it wasn't the sharpest-looking display I've ever seen. I largely used the tablet propped up on the desk dock that Samsung had provided (sold as a separate accessory), but when I picked it up it seemed solid and didn't suffer from the Samsung Galaxy S III's cheap plastic feeling. Samsung's presentation was given using an HDMI dongle (sold separately) that mirrored everything from a Note 10.1 to a large TV screen. The tablet will debut with Ice Cream Sandwich/Android 4.0, but the company says it will be sending Jelly Bean/4.1 upgrades "this year." When pressed about whether that upgrade would come in a week or three months, a Samsung spokesperson said he didn't have a timeline for that yet. Like all Samsung mobile products, the Note 10.1 will come with a proprietary software layer over the Android OS, and will include a slew of apps optimized for use with the S pen.
