Samsung just sent media invitations for an event in New York City on August 15. The invitation doesn't say specifically what's going to be unveiled, but the illustration appears to show the outline of a tablet created with pen strokes — which may imply another in one of Samsung's line of Galaxy Note devices.
You can guess for yourself what Samsung might reveal based on the invitation below. The rectangular shape looks extremely close to that of Samsung's Galaxy tablets, slightly too short to be a phone. The pen strokes are the biggest giveaway: each model in Samsung's Note line of tablets and phones comes with a stylus, with specialized software.
So far there's the 5.3-inch Galaxy Note phone, which launched in the U.S. in February, and the 10.1-inch tablet. Our best guess: This is either the U.S. launch of the 10.1-inch model, or a new, 7-inch version.
One thing we're pretty sure of: it isn't is the next generation of the Galaxy Note phone. It's only been on the market here for six months, after all, and rumors point to a late August launch for that device, which likely won't include the U.S. in the initial rollout.
That still leaves us with question: What does "Meet the new way" mean? Has Samsung created something special for the next Note? A new kind of stylus or some special software? Or is it merely an oblique reference to a certain other large-screen tablet that people might be used to associating with the category?
