Samsung Galaxy Tab hitting the UK on Aug. 12?

When last we left the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 (in the U.S., anyway), we'd been told it had a "late summer" launch window. That, really, could mean just about anything. And seeing as how most people relate summer with heat, we might not see this thing here until November, the way things are going.

Anyhoo, Amazon UK's apparently got the thing slated for being in stock -- from a third-party retailer, anyway -- in about a week and a half. Aug. 12, to be exact. That doesn't really do us much good stateside, and we're really not putting too much faith into this, seeing as how it's already moved back a day since it was first spotted.

But we did just see the Galaxy Tab P8 mentioned in a possible Verizon roadmap -- in November. Might we be in line for a Galaxy Tab 8.9 in the coming months, finally? News at 11.
