There have been plenty of rumors about the Samsung Galaxy Note 2's release date, with most pointing toward a September or October launch for the new tablet/smartphone hybrid.
But there's been little word until now of an actual announcement for the device.
Now sources claim that Samsung scheduled a Samsung Unpacked event during IFA 2012 on August 30, and it's rumored the successor to the Galaxy Note will be revealed then.

A predictable course

Many Samsung aficiandos assumed that Samsung Galaxy Note 2 would be announced at the IFA 2012 conference in Berlin, where the original Galaxy Note was unveiled during the last Samsung Unpacked keynote the year before.
Word of a new Samsung Unpacked event reaffirmed what the rumor mill predicted.
An August announcement falls right in line with an October release, which was hinted at last month, or a September launch as reported by yet another source last month.
A September launch would allow the Galaxy Note 2 to grab a foothold before the iPhone 5 can steal its thunder.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 was also inadvertantly revealed by a tweet from the Samsung Arabia account, which was promptly deleted.
Other rumors indicate that the Samsung Galaxy Note 2's screen will be even larger than its predecessor's 5.3-inch screen, which was big enough to be considered something of a smartphone-tablet hybrid.
The Galaxy Note 2's screen could be as large as 5.5 inches, pushing it even further into the category of miniature tablet.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will also sport a more poweful quad-core processor, says the same source.
Samsung Unpacked is where the device maker has previously made important announcements about flagship devices like the Samsung Galaxy S3, the Galaxy Tab 7.7, as well as the original Galaxy Note.
A representative from Samsung US told TechRadar he hadn't heard anything about an event on August 30, but did not outright rule out the possibility.
