Samsung today officially announced the upcoming availability of its Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus tablet featuring the Peel Smart Remote TV appliation. The 7-inch slate will hit retailers on November 13th for $400, four days before Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet starts shipping. Those who want to get a jump start can put their pre-orders in beginning October 23rd.
The Peel Smart Remote TV application will allow users to instantly find and watch TV shows and discover new shows based on their preferences, all with the tap of a screen, Samsung says. It will display personalized programming recommendations in a content-driven GUI, negating the need to scroll through traditional channel-listing grids.
As for the hardware, the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus measures 9.96mm thin and weighs 345g. It has a 7-inch LCD display with a 1024x600 resolution, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 3MP rear-facing camera capable of recording in 720p, 2MP front-facing camera, and Android 3.2 (Honeycomb).
Pricing is for the 16GB Wi-Fi version. Samsung didn't mention when it plans to ship a 32GB model or for how much (likely $500 if we had to guess).

It took me several days to read it because I’d read it in snippets, leave to do something else, and then come back to it.

That is too expensive. Kindle Fire will be $200 and the PlayBook will be $300. I can save half the cost of this $400 Samsung by waiting 4 days for the Kindle Fire. It is going to take more than the latest Android and a gig of RAM to sway me to spend at the price Samsung is asking for.

The Kindle Fire has only 5% of the Apps this will. The PlayBook has practically none.

It is about quality, not quantity. Give me a nice communication app, and I will be fine. I still say $200 is expensive for 16GB. You really can't store much with 16GB. We need netbook pricing for tablets to be honest with you.
