It's pretty much the same thickness and size as the aluminium-bodied
Galaxy Tab 7.7, released early this year, with the same battery life. The Tab is 32g heavier but has a higher resolution screen and faster processor so uses a bigger battery. It was
first announced (and shown in Berlin) in September 2011.
Surely both are examples of product evolution, not innovation?
EDIT: though I note Samsung claim on their site that the metal body is innovative, lol:

The Galaxy Tab 7.7 features an innovative metal design resulting in one of the most easily portable devices available. Its slim body measures only 7.89mm, which is thinner than a pencil, and weighs only 340g. The Galaxy Tab 7.7 is designed to fit in a coat pocket or purse and it is comfortable to hold whether you’re sitting, walking or lying down.
