Here it is, BAM!

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is slightly thicker and a little bit heavier than the original 10.1, but comes in at a lower $400 price. Look for it on May 13.

Plastic

The back is still plastic but is now "titanium silver" in color. According to Samsung, that is.

Not quite as thin as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, but you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference.
