Rumor on a new model for original Galaxy Tab

Engadget.com says that there are rumors that the original Samsung Galaxy Tab may be coming out with an 8.9 inch screen by this summer.  Truthfully, unless this tablet has Android 3.0 what would be the benefit of it besides portability? I feel that if they do not integrate Honeycomb into this tablet that it will definitely flop.  However, if they go put Honeycomb and Android 3.0 it definitely has some potential.
