Not much detail here kids, but the Korean Yonhap News Agency is reporting that Samsung has an 8.9-inch Android tablet due in the first half of the year. This, according to a Samsung company spokesman speaking to the reputable news site over the phone. 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-incher official, there’s no reason to doubt an 8-inch Galaxy Tab by summer. Samsung Galaxy Tab series expanding with 8.9-inch model by summer originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 23 Feb 2011 03:29:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink

When Microsoft indicated it was killing off Drive Extender tech for its upcoming Vail release of Windows Home Server , many WHS fans poured a 40 onto the lid of their MediaSmart servers.
