Samsung may be plotting the launch of a 10.1-inch iteration of its Galaxy Note phone/tablet hybrid device later this month at MWC.
Reports suggest that the company will release a larger version of the stylus-equipped, 5.3-inch Android device at the annual mobile expo in Barcelona.
The reasons for those suspicions are two-fold. Firstly, the Galaxy Note 10.1 name appears on a Samsung MWC Developer Day invitation.
Secondly, a casting call note requesting a "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 user" for a commerical shoot in early February has emerged.
Neither provide concrete evidence for a launch, but they're pretty solid hints.
Note to Galaxy TabOf course Samsung already has a pretty stellar 10.1 inch tablet, in the Galaxy Tab 10.1, although sales of that device remain under threat from a host of Apple lawsuits, which allege that it copied the iPad.
The question begs, if the Koreans decide to launch a larger Note, would it still bear all of the same hallmarks, including cellular capabilities? If so, it'd be the largest mobile phone this side of the 1980s.
It's also worth mentioning that Samsung has no press conference planned for MWC, so any launch is likely to be relatively low-key.

Alert a moderatorbradavon1. It may have a sim card for 3G but no way will you be able to use it as a phone.
How will it really differ from the Galaxy Tab 10.1 too? That's bound to get ICS soon (something I bet a Note 10.1 will have), meaning all that's missing is the stylus.
I guess that's as a reason as any.
