Samsung Galaxy Tab to Launch on September 16?
Galaxy Tab to launch on three major U.S. carriers.
For those looking for a smaller tablet solution or simply something that's not confined to the insides of Apple walled garden? Well the, Samsung's Galaxy Tab could be the ticket.
It runs Android 2.2, AKA Froyo, and even though Google has said that its latest version of Android isn't optimized for tablets, Samsung appears to have made a few application customizations of its own to make it work.
We won't really know how well it performs until we get our hands on it, but hopefully it'll be sooner than later. In fact, the Wall Street Journal's sources point to later this week as a possible launch for the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
The even is supposed to take place in New York City at the Time Warner Center on September 16. Further more, the paper says that Samsung has already cut deals with Verizon, Sprint and AT&T to carry the Galaxy Tab.
Pricing is still unknown, but statements made by Samsung executives place it between $200 and $300 after carrier subsidies.

Probably cost more upfront but a better data deal, but we'll see.
Exactly!! And where is my dang GPS fix. Fix the Galaxy S products you have already launched before putting more out there.
If I don't start seeing them support their phones better then there is no way i getting their Tablet.
I really hope they dont do this with the Galaxy line of products, that would be a pretty dumb move due to the sheer numbers of sales.
The only people that care about the "specs" and whether it has more features than the iPad are the geeks/nerds. The same people that build their own PC's and are into overclocking and modding.
The average person who buys PC's, phones and tablets doesn't care about this kind of thing.
Sorry, Samsung, but there are no way near 10 million "geeks" out there to buy your tablet, so your sales estimates are way, way off. Not to mention the price is for a "subsidized" Tab. Are people on a contract going to want to sign another contract? Let's see what the "real" price is, Samsung.
Phones are being used as computers nowadays, and the larger screens are very appealing to a large part of the market. And yes - this is a large "PHONE"
Call it a tablet - that's right, but unlike other tablets, this can take and receive phone calls, and that means its a phone replacement tablet.
You don't have to be a geek to know that when you need your iPad it's not with you - it's back at home sitting on your living room coffee table, because the thing is too darn big to carry around.
Those complaining about this being "small" aren't getting it - these are sold at Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, where its absolutely huge compared to everything else - compared to the other PHONES.
Exactly. You think people are going to want to carry one of these things around as a phone? How ridiculous would you look using one of these monsters to make a phone call.
This device is not a phone replacement as it's far too in-convenient to use as an everyday phone. That means people who own one will also own a "normal sized" phone. What's the point of carrying two phones around?
If you're going to go through the trouble of carrying a second device around (one that's too large to fit in your pocket) then you might as well get a full-sized tablet (meaning 10" or so screen size).
I don't really see the point of this tablet.
But what do I know? Samsung says they'll sell 10 million so I'm sure they will.
so it mean you don't mine to pay more for a outdated product
you better live in stone age... drive Flintstones's car ~
How long are you planning on keeping you smartphone until the end of warranty or support?
As long as it lasts, here in brazil smartphones are pretty expensive, i cannot afford to change phone every year.
I have been waiting for a tablet that has phone feature for a long time because I don't want to carry 2 devices. So, this tablet is suitable for me. The 7 inch size is just right to put in my purse, and I can do web browsing/ebook reading and recive phone call in one device. 10" size is too big to carry daily and not fit in all my purses. You can use a handsfree headset and bluetooth handsfree to make and receive phone call. I don't know why people keep complaining this is too big to make a phone call. My office phone is way bigger than that.
