Lo and behold! Here is the first shot of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" inch Android Honeycomb tablet and the next generation Samsung Galaxy S.

Featuring a dual-core Tegra 2 processor, an 8 megapixel rear camera and a 2 megapixel front-facing camera, 16GB or 32GB  of storage as well as Android 3.0 Android Honeycomb OS, this looks like a direct compatitor to Motorola's Xoom and LG's G-Slate tablets, not to mention the iPad.
