Samsung has announced that its Samsung Galaxy Tablet will be hitting the UK on November 1^st.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is aiming to compete with the Apple iPad and will be available on all major networks. It will also be hitting high-street stores with the CarePhone Warehouse and Dixons Group’s stores confirmed as sellers.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab has a 7 inch screen, which is 2.7 inches smaller than the one found on the iPad. It runs on the Android operating system (version 2.2) and is powered by a 1 GHz processor.  It also features two cameras, one rear facing and one front facing, and supports both Wi-Fi and 3G.

The price wasn’t announced, so we’ll have to wait and see how competitively it’s priced when compared to its rival.
