Here are some of the facts (still in guessing stage):

Display, Design

Samsung's Galaxy Tab has a 7-inch screen. The tablet can be held in one hand, if your fingers are long enough.

Hardware

From the video, there's definitely a big camera on the back of the tablet (3.2 megapixels?),  a front-facing camera. Navigation and mapping apps are shown in the video, so GPS is a built-in. The same source that claims 800-by-480 resolution also said the Galaxy Tab has a 1 GHz processor and Bluetooth, based on leaked firmware.

Operating System

Samsung says Android 2.2 will be the Galaxy Tab's platform of choice, and confirms support for Adobe Flash. TouchWiz interface is not shown on the video.

Software Features

Here's a list of everything else Samsung mentions in the video :

    * E-reading
    * HD movie play
    * PC link web
    * Augmented reality

In addition, the video shows Swype support and an app called "AllShare," which looks like a way to sync with multiple servers and displays.

Unknowns

Price and release date are big mysteries. The Samsung Galaxy Tab's big reveal is scheduled for September 2.
