Samsung's latest tablet, Galaxy Note 10.1, finally arrived in Australia this morning and consumers can get their hands on the new tablet.

Samsung released its latest tablet Galaxy Note 10.1 as the company aims to extend its supremacy in the tablet market currently dominated by Apple.

One of the prime features of Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is its multitasking feature. This feature allows you can run two or more apps at the same time.
