Piggybacking on the success of their Galaxy S line of smartphones, Samsung has released the Galaxy Tab. The device will feature a 7-inch 1,024 by 600-pixel display, and like their Galaxy S phones, the Galaxy Tab will run on Android 2.2. The tablet is expected to compete with Apple’s iPad, and it offers some features the iPad currently lacks, such as Flash support, front and rear facing cameras, and microSD support for additional storage. The Galaxy Tab is powered by a 1 GHz Cortex processor along with 512 MB of RAM. It also features 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, and 3G connectivity.
Samsung has not announced pricing or any potential carrier partners for the device in the U.S. or in other markets.

Affinity’s new all-in-one creative app is finally coming to the iPad, nearly a year after Canva launched the redesigned desktop version for Mac and Windows. Creatives have been asking for the iPad release ever since, especially because files created in the new Affinity app cannot be opened in the older V2 iPad apps.
Affinity already has Photo, Designer, and Publisher apps on iPad, but the new release combines those tools into the same unified app that Canva launched on desktop last year.
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Apple has just launched its latest iPad mini with a notable set of upgrades, including an OLED screen, improved speakers, and a more resilient build. It also gets a new chip, and the whole package costs $200 more than its predecessor. But if you look closely at Apple’s online store, you’ll realize that $699 isn’t enough to get you the most powerful version of the A20 Pro chip inside this tablet. In fact, even if you pay $800 for the 256GB model, you still won’t get the beefiest variant. Only when you jump to the 512GB trim, which costs an absurd $999, do you get the most powerful flavor of the A20 Pro.
The $999 model gets more than extra storage
