IF true, that's a huge player. Why don't they call what it is, a 6" tablet. Those dimensions make it just as big as a Kindle 4.

Glxy 5.8 = 6.5" x 3.4" x 0.43" ... 7.9 oz
Kindle 4 = 6.5" x 4.5" x 0.34" ... 6.0 oz

And why wimp out on the resolution? A 5.8" display and only 960x540 w/ 190 ppi? That's just as bad as the SGP 5.0's 800x480 w/ 187 ppi; and that display was noticeably weaker when compared to the SGP 4.0's 800x480 w/ 233 ppi.

Considering its size, the battery is very weak at 2500 mAh.

I have serious doubts about the validity of such a device.
