Toshiba officially launched 3 new tablets today, including the Excite 7.7. This is their 7.7" 1280x800 Super AMOLED Plus tablet that was shown a few times before (it was called the AT270 before). This tablet (which features a strong quad-core Tegra 3 CPU) is very slim (7.6 mm) and light (380 grams).
The Excite 7.7 will launch in June 2012. The 16GB model will cost $500.
Verizon announced that it's going to launch the Galaxy Tab 7.7 LTE on March 1st - for $499.99 with a contract. Amazon.com offers the tablet unlocked for $650, but without LTE (only 3G/Wi-Fi). The Galaxy Tab 7.7" got some great reviews - Engadget says it's the best 7" tablet and praises the "stunning and breathtaking" Super AMOLED Plus display.
The Galaxy Tab 7.7 is the world's first tablet with an OLED display, a 7.7" Super AMOLED Plus panel, offering 1280x800 resolution. Other specs include Android v3.2, Dual-core 1.4 Ghz processor, HSPA+ radio (LTE in some models), 16GB to 64GB internal storage and a microSD slot, Wi-Fi, GPS and two cameras (3MP and 2MP).
Remember Toshiba's 7.7" tablet with a 1280x800 Super AMOLED Plus display? It was shown first at CES 2012, and now Toshiba is showing it again at MWC 2012. Toshiba is naming it the AT270, and reveals that it has a 1.5Ghz quad-core Tegra 3 CPU.
Toshiba hasn't officially announced this tablet yet, so we're still waiting for more technical details and of course a release date and price.
Samsung reported today that it has sold over 20 million Galaxy S II phones in 10 months (7 months faster than the Galaxy S model). The accumulated sales of the Galaxy S and SII models now surpasses 40 million (i.e. Samsung sold 20 million of each phone model). Just last month Samsung announced that is sold over 5 million SII phones in South Korea alone - and about 25% of South Koreans own this phone!.
Samsung's Galaxy S2 has a 4.3" WVGA Super AMOLED plus display, 1.2Ghz dual-core processor, NFC, Bluetooth 3 and HSPA+. It's only 8.49mm thick at its thinnest point.
Engadget posted a review of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 7.7. They say that it's the best 7" tablet - with a stunning display, a long lasting battery, good performance and thin size. The only problem? it's quite expensive. And they sure love the 1200x800 Super AMOLED Plus display - "We could tell you it's vibrant, stunning and breathtaking, but even that wouldn't quite do it justice. The contrast here is so deep, and the viewing angles so wide, that other tablets' screens look washed-out in comparison". Amazon.com is now offering an unlocked model for $749.

Samsung announced that they sold over 5 million Galaxy S II phones in South Korea. This is the first time a single phone model reached that number in Korea. Samsung calls the S II Korea's "national phone" - and it makes sense as 25% of phone owners in Korea (about 20 million) use it!
Samsung's Galaxy S2 is the successor to the popular Galaxy S. It has a 4.3" WVGA Super AMOLED plus display, 1.2Ghz dual-core processor, NFC, Bluetooth 3 and HSPA+. It's only 8.49mm thick at its thinnest point.
Amazon.com is now offering Samsung's Super AMOLED plus packing Tab 7.7 (P6800) - for $749. This is an unlocked model, probably with 16GB of memory - and it's shipping now. This is a lot cheaper than in the UK - where it costs over $1,250 (£808) and will only ship in 1-2 months. This seems to be a model bought in Korea and shipped to the US.

Here's a video showing Toshiba's 7.7" AMOLED Tablet prototype unveiled at CES 2012:
According to our information, that AMOLED display does not use PenTile, which probably means it's a Super AMOLED Plus panel, the same one that Samsung uses in their own Galaxy 7.7 Tab.
Amazon.co.uk is now listing Samsung's Super AMOLED plus packing Tab 7.7 (P6800) - for £808. The page says it will ship in 1-2 months, and you can order one. This is a 3G, 16GB unlocked model. Amazon also lists the 32GB model for £926

Toshiba held a press conference, one day before CES 2012 opens, and they unveiled the OLED tablet they already said they'll show. It seems that the tablet is a "reference design" - so it's not a finished product yet. And the OLED panel is 7.7".
According to the report, the OLED does not use PenTile. It's probably the same Super AMOLED Plus panel that Samsung uses in their own Galaxy 7.7 Tab. Hopefully we'll hear more from Toshiba soon - including when and where they plan to release this tablet.
