We've been accustomed to seeing flocks of people queuing round the block for the latest Apple gizmo in recent years, but now it seems that Samsung have muscled their way into the hearts of the die-hard queuers (is that a word?). What is it they're all desperate to get their mits on? The new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 of course.
Tech fans seem to love a good old fashioned queue

The first Samsung Galaxy Tab was a 7in screen tablet that could fit in a jacket pocket, ran Android 2.1 and had 3G built in.
The first model – which ran a version of the Google Android operating system originally designed to run on smartphones – was essentially an oversized phone. Nonetheless, it proved one of the most popular devices of the year and at one point rivalled the Apple iPad for the rate at which it was flying off the shelves.
Here's a gallery from yesterday's UK launch of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 at the Tottenham Court Road branch of PC World.
