Simon Stanford, Managing Director, Mobile, Samsung UK and Ireland said: “Having announced the arrival of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 earlier this year, we were confident that it would prove popular with UK consumers. We’re delighted that the initial interest in our slimmest, lightest and smartest tablet at last night’s event was positive and that our consumers now have a range of Galaxy Tabs to choose from.”

Mark Slater, Category Director for Computing, Communications and Office, added: “We have had a huge amount of interest in the Galaxy Tab 10.1 both online and in store over the last ten days when we announced the device was available for pre-order. And the level of excitement in our Tottenham Court Road store last night suggests that this latest addition to Samsung’s range of tablets is going to prove popular. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 joins the ever-growing line-up of tablet computers in our Currys and PC World stores and once more ensures we are offering the best range possible for our customers.”
