Previously Samsung went the 7-inch way, and was treated as a mini-iPad for its size. Now that Samsung has the 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab, we know that it’s going to compete head-to-head with the next iPad. But now, a very tiny surprise news came from the Korean Yonhap News Agency. Apparently a Samsung company spokesman talked to the reputable news site over the phone, and mentioned that Samsung has an 8.9-inch Android tablet due in the first half of the year. Yonhap also notes local media reports claiming that the tablet could be for sale as early as next month. We first heard about Samsung’s plans for 7-, 8-, and 10-inch tablets way back in June — long before the 7-inch Galaxy Tab was announced. Now, with the 10.1-incher official, there’s no reason to doubt an 8.9-inch Galaxy Tab by summer. But why in the world is Samsung preparing an 8.9-inch Galaxy Tab? Nobody knows. Probably to conquer all.
