Samsung introduced a mobile and tablet hybrid at the recently held IFA in Berlin on September 1^st, 2011.

With regard to the size, the device is almost two times the normal Smartphone and half the size of a conventional tablet PC. This means that Samsung had to create a completely new category of technology.

Samsung’s executive vice president and global sales and marketing head, DJ Lee informed that Galaxy Note has been developed keeping a large section of users in mind who use small notebooks for the purpose of jotting down ideas. Samsung has included a stowaway stylus to help such users draw, take notes and grab screen captures easily.

The hybrid is an Android device running on Gingerbread (2.3). Some of the features of this mini tablet are 2megapixels and 8megapixels dual camera, 5.3inch touch screen (1280 x 800 Super AMOLED), 1.4GHz processor, removable 2500mAh battery, LTE and HSPA+. The device is very thin and light too at 9.65mm and 178 grams.

The Android OS has TouchWiz having seven home screens optimised to utilize the stylus device (called ‘S Pen’) the best. Few of the programmes on the device are a native calendar, a to-do list app and an S Planner.

Samsung is not yet sure about the first place to receive the Galaxy Note. It will be some time before we get any more updates on that.
