The 10.1-incher also comes equipped with a 7,000 mAh battery (up from 4,000 on the 7.0).
The slate is also loaded with TouchWiz-flavored Ice Cream Sandwich, and will be offered in 16 and 32GB models (expandable by up to 32GB if you supply your own microSD card).
The Samsung's GALAXY Beam is a new projector smartphone that allows users to display and share multimedia content anywhere on a large luminous projector screen.
GALAXY Beam's 15 lumens projector allows users to beam video clips, maps, business information or games on a high-definition projection up to 50" wide.
The phone is also equipped with a 5MP camera that can shoot movies at 720p and offers access to games through Samsung's Game Hub, Samsung?s dedicated virtual gaming store.
Despite featuring a full built-in projector, the GALAXY Beam does not compromise portability, measuring just 12.5mm thick and featuring an ergonomic design. It runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread which is powered by a 1.0GHz dual-core processor. An 8GB of internal memory allows ample multimedia storage, and a 2000 mAh battery ensures greater display power and content freedom.
