Samsung's [announced][3] another 10.1-inch tablet to join its burgeoning collection of slates. The Galaxy Note 10.1 is an S-Pen toting variant of the similarly sized-and-named [Galaxy Tab][4]. It's running Touchwiz-infused [ICS][5] on a 1.4GHz dual-core CPU with 1GB of RAM, but here's the answer to the question on everyone's lips: nope, you _can't use it as a [phone][6]_. Sadly you'll only have access to HSPA+, WiFi and Bluetooth 3.0, dashing our hopes of using this as our primary cellphone to annoy people on the train. The 10.1-inch WXGA (1280 x 800) display is nestled opposite a 3-megapixel rear-facing camera and beside a 2-megapixel one for video conferencing. [S-Pen specific features][7] include S Note for scrawling text, Shape Match and Formula Match (to digitize images and mathematical formulae) -- but more importantly is the ability to use Adobe's new _[Photoshop Touch][8]_ and _Ideas_, which will both come pre-installed. If you'd rather use the slate as the world's largest sat-nav, you'll be relieved to know it's packing both GPS and [Glonass][9]. For the businesspersons of you out there, there's [Exchange ActiveSync][10], on-device encryption, [Juniper Junos Pulse][11] and Cisco VPNs. It'll come in 16, 32 and 64GB variations, with a microSD slot for you to add up to a further 32GBs into the mix. It's clear that Samsung's bisecting its tablet business: purely touch-driven devices will now be branded as a "Tab" and anything with a stylus S-Pen will be suffixed with "Note." Pricing and availability are currently unspecified, but we'll do our best to shanghai that information out of a passing company rep when we see one.
