Samsung’s mobile head JK Shin has supposedly confirmed that there’s an 8-inch Galaxy Note tablet coming next month at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona. Is it small enough that you’re going to want to try squeezing it into the back pocket of your jeans?
The device is said to include a 1.6GHz quad-core processor and a 1280×800 pixel display. An 8-inch tablet might seem pointless next to your nearly 6-inch smartphone, but Samsung wouldn’t be making these monsters if people weren’t buying them. The real question we should be asking is this: will pockets be getting monstrous too to fit smaller tablets and monstrous phones? [iNews24 via Engadget]
