Amidst the bada hoopla at the MWC, JK Shin, president of Samsung’s mobile-communication division confirmed to Bloomberg about their plans of releasing an iPad competitor in the near future.

Shin says Apple’s product “will create a new market and new demand” and Samsung will compete in the market with a product of its own.

He didn’t divulge any details of the tablet but according to Daum, the tablet could come out in early May.
