“Samsung Galaxy Tablet Computer to Hit Mobile Phone Stores” |
| Samsung Galaxy Tablet Computer to Hit Mobile Phone Stores Posted: 17 Sep 2010 01:30 PM PDT Samsung Galaxy Tablet Computers will be made available by all four major U.S. wireless carriers will sell an iPad-like tablet computer from Samsung Electronics Co., the companies said Thursday. Verizon Wireless said in a statement that it will start selling it "in the coming weeks," and Sprint said it will do so "this fall." T-Mobile and AT&T said they plan to sell it this holiday season. The Galaxy Tab has a 7-inch screen, half the size of the iPad. It runs Google Inc.'s Android smart phone software and can play Flash video from the Web, which the iPad can't. It also has two cameras for videoconferencing, which the iPad lacks. The iPad starts at $499. The Tab will probably cost less, both because it's smaller and because carriers will probably subsidize it when buyers sign up for two-year data service contracts. The Tab will have the ability to run on cellular broadband networks, just like some versions of the iPad. It won't have a dialpad or the ability to make traditional cell phone calls, but could be used for phone calls over the data connection with third-party software. AT&T already sells a somewhat smaller hybrid of a tablet and a smart phone, the Dell Streak. It costs $300 with a two-year contract.
