Samsung on Friday said it had sold its first million Galaxy Tab slates in two months. The milestone came after it reached 600,000 in its first month and came mostly from Europe and the US, though 10 percent were from Samsung’s South Korean home.

The firm also more officially confirmed a 10-inch Galaxy Tab that would ship sometime in the first half of 2011. Most of its features are still unknowns, but the larger size may need Android 3.0, or Honeycomb, to get a properly tablet-optimized OS.
