Both the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and 10.1 will be available in the US within the next few weeks, Samsung announced Thursday. The dual-core tablets running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich will arrive separately: April 22 for the 7-inch version and May 13 for the 10.1-inch version.

The Tab 2 7.0 will have a 1024x600 resolution display and 8GB of storage. The Tab 2 10.1 will have 16GB of internal storage and a 1280x800 display. The 7-inch Tab 2 measures 0.41 inches thick and weighs 0.76 pounds, while the 10-inch Tab 2 is 0.38 inches thick and weighs 1.28 pounds. Both tablets are WiFi-only and have 3.2-megapixel cameras on the back, 1GHz dual-core processors, and microSD slots that can expand storage by up to 32GB.

The 7-inch model is available for preorder today at $249.99, meant to attack the market that has risen up around the successful Kindle Fire. The Tab 2 10.1 will launch May 13 and cost $399.99, undercutting Apple's latest iPad and the Excite 10 tablet Toshiba is fielding May 6 (though matching the new base price of the old iPad 2).

Alongside the new generation of tablets, Samsung has also announced a set of Galaxy Players in 4.2-inch 800x480 or 3.6-inch 480x320 screen variations to compete with the iPod touch. The players both run Android 2.3 Gingerbread, have 8GB storage expandable by up to 32GB via microSD, and 2-megapixel rear cameras. The 3.6-inch version is available now for $149.99, while the 4.2-inch version will launch May 13 for $199.99.
