"Samsungrecognizes the tremendous growth potential in this newly created marketand we believe that the Samsung Galaxy Tab brings a unique and openproposition to market," said mobile communications unit head JK Shin.
TheGalaxy Tab, weighing 0.8 pounds (380 grammes) -- almost half the iPad's1.5 pounds -- launches in Europe in mid-September, and in other marketsincluding South Korea, the US and elsewhere in Asia in the comingmonths.
