Samsung moves 2 million Galaxy Tabs; Tab 2 coming in February

Samsung has shipped two million of its Galaxy Tab tablets since the product's launch three months ago, and the company is already planning some kind of addition to the line, according to a leaked PR schedule for the Mobile World Congress. Though the 7-inch Galaxy Tab took twice as long as the iPad to hit a million units sold, it looks like Samsung is either planning to get out a revised tablet before Apple or step up to the 10-inch plate with a planned Galaxy Tab 2.

Samsung has previously confirmed that it has a 10-inch tablet in development, and a press schedule indicates that it's due to talk about a product called the Galaxy Tab 2. The sequel-y name suggests this will be another 7-inch iteration of the original Tab, but running Honeycomb.

The iPad still outsold the Tab by a significant margin: 7.33 million iPads shipped in the fourth quarter of last year. Still, the Tab beat Samsung's end-of-year sales goals of 1.5 million, and is now being sold by 200 mobile carriers in 94 countries.
