Just two months after Samsung released its Galaxy Note tablet-phone, the company announced it has shipped more than one million units of the device worldwide and that it’s coming to the U.S. in the near future.
In October, Samsung unveiled its 5.3-inch, Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) smartphone, which doubles as a tablet. It also comes with a stylus pen for drawing and note taking.
It’s expected to receive an upgrade to Android 4 or Ice Cream Sandwich in early 2012.
Samsung noted in a press release that sales of Galaxy Note are on the rise in Europe and Asia, particularly in France, Germany, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
"The rapid global sales of Galaxy Note are notable since it is creating a new market for something between smartphone and tablet PC," the company said. "The speed of the global sales is expected to accelerate further next year when it will be available in the US."
We should note, however, that Samsung has shipped 1 million devices to retailers and other partners. Samsung has not revealed actual sales numbers.
