Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Arrives at New York City Best Buy Store on June 8

After Samsung’s recent announcement that the new version of its tablet, the Galaxy Tab 10.1, is coming “in a few days,” the company has now given us an exact date: June 8.

On that date, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will only be available for pre-order through Best Buy, and only a limited quantity of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wi-Fi version will be available for purchase in the Union Square Best Buy store in New York City.

The new Galaxy Tab 10.1 is a remake of the original device with the same name, which Samsung deemed unworthy of competing with the iPad.

The new device will be the thinnest tablet around, measuring just 8.6 millimeters thick and weighing 1.25 pounds. It sports the latest version of Android for tablets, Honeycomb 3.1, and has a dual-core, 1 GHz CPU, a 10.1 inch, 1280×800 pixel screen, a 3-megapixel back camera and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video chats.

The 32 GB version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wi-Fi edition will cost $599, while the 16 GB version of the device will cost $499.
