Samsung (005930) hasn’t had as much luck with tablets as it’s had with smartphones, but it looks like the company is taking another shot at the tablet market with a new seven-inch version of the Galaxy Note. SamMobile has found a new DLNA certification for a Samsung device called the Samsung GT-N5100 that “has been sized between” seven and nine inches. Although we don’t know for sure yet that this new tablet will be part of Samsung’s Note series, AndroidGuys says that all “previous Note products start with GT-N” in their certifications just as the new Samsung product does. So far Samsung has released Galaxy Note models in the 5- and 10-inch ranges, so releasing one in the 7-inch range seems like a logical next step.
