From Yonhap News in Seoul:
SEOUL, Jan. 26 (Yonhap) -- Samsung Electronics Co., the world's second-largest maker of mobile phones, said Wednesday that it has sold more than 2 million units of the Galaxy Tab tablet computer within three months of its global debut.
Samsung achieved the sales figure this week as the company sells the 7-inch, Android-running tablet through some 200 mobile carriers in 94 countries, the company said.
The Tabites are growing in numbers!!
(There are 3 kinds of Galaxians:
Essians who have a form of the Galaxy S
Tabites who have a form of the Galaxy Tab
Players who have a form of the Galaxy Player (not yet seen))
Cool deal! More tablets means more developers writing more cool stuff. I see TV ads for them every night...hopefully next week they're at 3 million.
I wonder how many Galaxians there are.

The success of Galaxy S phone from Samsung Electronics made it as a very important player in smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy S laid the perfect platform for its successor models, well utilized by Galaxy S II to set up records after records. The Galaxy S II phone has surpassed a new milestone and Samsung reports that they until now has sold more than 30 million units of Samsung Galaxy S and S II phones cumulatively.
The Galaxy S II reported 10 million handset sales since its launch and Galaxy S alone has reported 20 million handsets sales. Thanks to Samsung Galaxy S phone that Galaxy S II became the fastest selling smartphone in the history of Samsung which achieved the feat of 10 million handsets sale just in 5 months. The future of Galaxy S series looks better and there is no reason that Samsung will discontinue it Galaxy S series and the internet is searched with Samsung Galaxy S3 phone.

No other info than a leaked name on a Samsung sales list. Looks like next version of the Note will be an "S" and not "2"...
Wait, isn't this a car site..? And this line doesn't inspire much confidence.
"MC's source is an informant who managed to take a peek at a Samsung sales list."
So one year, same upgrade period as the Samsung Galaxy S phones

Awesome!
This could get good. Please dont let it be a typo or mistake!
dont get your hopes up people, theres two big problems with the list (only included the list of tablets for this instance):
GALAXY Tab 7.0
GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus
GALAXY Tab 8.9
GALAXY Tab 10.1
1. no mention of the GALAXY S, basically a phone version of the tablet. my view is, if they were going to officially release ICS for our tabs, why would they not for the Galaxy S.
2. no mention of the GALAXY Tab 7.7 - yet every other tablet in the range is listed. (minus the GALAXY Tab 2 range, which come with ICS).
in my opinion, someone over at Samsung Canada is probably getting a butt whooping for that typo, because im 80% sure im right in saying its a typo. (though i do hope that i am wrong!)
stimpz0r iz right, Galaxy Tab 7.0 is not GT-P1000, only new models will get ICS.
The Galaxy S already received a value pack that the Galaxy Tab didn't get. So, even though it is a phone-size version of the Tab, Samsung already has a history of not treating the two devices as siblings when it comes to software releases.
I don't think it's relevant that Galaxy S didn't make it in the list. In other news, who cares anymore? CM9 and AOKP are way more than any TouchWiz release will ever be. So why bother?
@OP: this was already posted, btw. Do a search next time or visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1628084
Peace,

of course, it's not the P1000 Galaxy tab ...
Samsung will be hosting a press conference in New Delhi on May 31 to launch the Galaxy S III in India but the smartphone is likely to be available a week later. Multiple sources have told BGR India that the Galaxy S III will be available on store shelves around June 8. Even online retailers are expecting units to be available for shipping from June 8 onwards.
We are also hearing that the Galaxy S III will be priced at Rs 39,990. This is likely to be the MRP and not the street price. However, considering the high profile nature of the Galaxy S III, we cannot confirm whether the phone will retail at Rs 39,990 for the first few weeks or will it, like all other phones, have a different market operating price as soon as it is launched. At the moment, Samsung is taking pre-bookings for the Galaxy S III and is offering a free Bluetooth headset for those who commit Rs 2,000 to reserve their unit.
The Galaxy S III will compete with the HTC One X, which was launched in India for Rs 37,899 and is now retailing at about Rs 36,000. Samsung might just put a premium on the Galaxy S III, considering the success of the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Note as well as its marketing muscle, which would easily overshadow what HTC has done so far for the One X. Ideally, HTC could gain some additional sales were it to slash the price of the One X but that is unlikely to happen.
