A senior analyst at Digitimes Research says Samsung has received a shipment of IPS panels for use in its upcoming 7-inch Galaxy Tab slate. The IPS panels, which are being supplied from Hydis, "are of comparable grade as those of Apple's iPad," senior analyst Mingchi Kuo claims.
Samsung just recently went official with the Galaxy Tab, announcing that device will ship with a 1GHz Cortex A8 processor, PowerVR SGX540 GPU, and 512MB of RAM. All versions will boast both Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity, as well as Samsung's TouchWiz UI on top of Android 2.2.
Already sporting a sexy feature-set, the addition of an IPS panel makes the Galaxy Tab all the more intriguing. And if the Galaxy Tab gains traction as a legitimate iPad contender, it could pave the way for IPS-based tablets to follow.

Perfect. Another annoucement, but no product.
If it ships, I'll be there.

I want one with a 12" or 10" but not smaller display in order to actually use it in college.

You may never see a 12" tablet as it would be too large to be effective. Tablets fall in the 7" - 10" range. In addition, Android cannot support large screens (anything above 854x480) which means 7"-8" screens at resolutions of 800x480. Android 3.0 (Gingerbread) should address the larger screens.
This does not mean you cannot have a 10" screen (I actually have a 10" Android tablet that I bought from China) but apps would not be optimized for the larger screen.
