Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 is one of two tablets announced by Samsung at CTIA 2011. Unfortunately, the demo units shown would not turn on.
World's thinnest
Samsung claims the Galaxy Tab 8.9 and new Galaxy Tab 10.1 are the world's thinnest tablets at 8.6 millimeters thin.
Sleek
We do have to say that the tablets are quite sleek. The curved edges also make them nice to hold and easy to grip.
