Samsung asks Developers to prepare Android apps for Galaxy Tab

Samsung is getting really serious about their Galaxy S line, with the international “Galaxy S” version already doing great, the four US variants, and a confirmed Android tablet called the “Galaxy Tab” coming soon.

Apparently Samsung recent went to developers and asked them to prepare their apps to run perfectly on their new Android tablet. Samsung contacted the Plex6 team about their “Magic 8 Ball” app, since it wasn’t rendering properly on the 7 inch display of the Samsung Galaxy Tab:

Dear Plex6 Team,
We would like to preface this email with Samsung’s enthusiasm to give Mobile
device users enhanced “Application” experiences. Samsung Electronics is
committed to making Mobile and Tablet PC spaces comfortable and enjoyable
ones and your support for this would be highly appreciated by Samsung
Electronics.
It has come to our attention that your application [Magic 8-Ball] submitted
in the Android Market returns following error(s) when operated on our soon
to be released Samsung Android Tablet PC.
Please find the error(s) occurred on Samsung Android Tablet PC below.
Application does not properly display on Samsung Android Tablet 7”inch
screen (600X1024/WSVGA) and draws a black background around the application
due to Compatibility-Mode display.
…
Please modify and adjust your application so that it would support the best
possible display on the Samsung Android Tablet device screen
(600X1024/WSVGA).
This will ensure your application to provide a consistent environment across
all devices and that you can deploy to any new devices that offer different
screens in the future.
**
Samsung Electronics is focused on strengthening its Android device line-up,
therefore, our mutual efforts on each application will be beneficial for
both parties.

W00t! Seems like Samsung is trying to make sure that their Galaxy Tab is just as awesome as their Galaxy S lineup. Now if we could only get some confirmed specs on this thing.
