Samsung today told Reuters it expected one million Galaxy Tab sales by the end of 2010. The firm’s mobile division Chief JK Shin said early results for the tablet were “quite good” and that Samsung was “confident” it would pass the million-unit figure before the end of the year. The Android slate launched in its native Korea on Thursday after a limited European release and is due to reach the US next week.
The million-unit release should be enough to make the Galaxy Tab the most popular Android tablet on the market but will still give Samsung just a fraction of the sales of the iPad the Android tablet was designed to challenge.
