Samsung ships 1 million Galaxy Note devices in two months

From CNET News.com: Samsung has shipped 1 million Galaxy Notes since the mobile gadget hit the market in late October.

Part smartphone and part tablet, the Note has seen a rise in sales across Europe and Asia, particularly France, Germany, Hong Kong and Taiwan, according to a Samsung press release displayed today on Flickr. Samsung called the Note's sales "notable" since the device is creating a new market for a cross between a phone and tablet.

The Note sailed to the shores of the U.K. in mid-November, further contributing to its sales. Though U.S. consumers are still Note-less, Samsung has confirmed that a U.S. launch is in the works for next year but hasn't yet revealed a specific date.

First shown off at the IFA Electronics Show in early September, the Note functions and is marketed as a smartphone but is sized like a very small tablet with a 5.3-inch screen. Outfitted with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, the Note is powered by a 1.4GHz dual-core processor and includes 16 gigabytes of internal storage with a microSD card slot that can hold up to 32 GB.

Beyond using Wi-Fi, the device can tap into a variety of data networks, including 4G LTE, HSPA+, and Edge. Samsung also includes a stylus to let people write notes and draw.
