The new Android 4.0 capable 7 and 10 inch tabs have been delayed.



Samsung has confirmed that new Galaxy Tab 2 low-cost tablets have been delayed.

Bad news we have here. It seems that Samsung has delayed the release of the new Galaxy Tab 2 tablets to the end of April, at least in the UK.

These new tablets, which come in 7 and 10.1 inch sizes are intended to be low-cost devices and a great alternative for those who aren't going to pay big money for a tablet.

According to IDG:

Samsung's low-cost tablets, the Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) and Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1), have been delayed, and will now start shipping in the U.K at the end of April, the company said Tuesday.

When Samsung announced the two products in February, it said they would arrive in U.K. stores in March, and then be rolled out globally. But the end of March came and went, and the tablets didn't go on sale.

The reason for the delay is that Samsung and Google need some more time to work on the Ice Cream Sandwich version of the Android mobile operating system, according to a spokesman at Samsung, who didn't want to elaborate on the details.

Both tablets will run the latest version of the Android OS. When it was launched, the Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) was expected to be the first Samsung tablet to get the latest version of Android.
