Samsung Galaxy Tab Hits 2 Million Sales Mark

Samsung Galaxy Tab is an Android-based compact tablet computer. With the launch of the new Galaxy Tab 2 Android tablet, Samsung announced that the first-generation Tab has sold more than 2 million units around the world-three months after launch, and almost two months after passing 1 million units sold mark.

Galaxy Tab is currently available in 94 countries, via about 200 mobile carriers. According to Yonhap News, around 350,000 Galaxy Tabs were sold in North America, 330,000 in Asia, and near about 500,000 were sold in Europe.

Galaxy Tab is surely one of the best selling Android tablets in the world. However, it is nowhere around Apple’s ipad, which sold near about 7.3 million units between October and December. Since tablets have become somewhat of a trend now, the Galaxy Tab 2 should be even more successful than the current model. We’ll see the new Tab at MWC 2011 next month.
