How much is that tablet in the window? The one with the 7-inch screen and [Android 3.2](http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/15/android-3-2-gets-official-updated-sdk-now-available/)? Hard to say, but it might be the Sharp Galapagos A01SH you're looking at. The slate, announced in earnest today, should fit comfortably betwixt the [5.5- and 10.8-inch variants](http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/30/sharp-galapagos-media-tablets-will-bring-3g-and-epub-content-to/) of the lineup that are also expected to arrive sometime before the end of the year. The A01SH is accompanied by an NVIDIA [Tegra 2](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Tegra2/) 1GHz dual-core CPU with 1GB of RAM, a [WSVGA](http://www.engadget.com/tag/wsvga/) display with 1,024 x 600 resolution, 8GB of internal memory alongside microSD support, 5MP / 2MP cameras along the back and front, and 7.5 hours of battery life. At a thickness of 12.9mm, it's not as thin as the [Galaxy Tab 10.1](http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/08/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-review/), but it's no [Toshiba Thrive](http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/22/toshiba-thrive-review/), either. The tablet should reach stores in Japan by the end of the month, but the only timeframe given for a US release is before the ball drops in Times Square -- perfect timing for anyone who wants to ring in 2012 snuggled up to a new gadget.
