On Thursday, Samsung held an event for its new Galaxy Tab device. In the event they announced that the 7 inch tablet will be coming to all major carriers. In addition, a new welcomed development is that they will release a WiFi only version, which is something originally thought would not be done. However, the Galaxy Tab will not support any 4G services, even from Sprint.
Also, Samsung's Media Hub will be a U.S. exclusive. The device is intended to be used to download and rent movies and TV shows at a competitive price.
Many questions at Samsung's event went unanswered, in regards to how much the Galaxy Tab will cost and when it will be available. This is unfortunate, but it is not expected to be too long before the information becomes known.
Details that are known about the Galaxy Tab however state that it will run Android 2.2, have a 3 megapixel rear facing and a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera, as well as have a 1Ghz Hummingbird processor.
One other thing that is uncertain in the U.S. model, is will the tablet have a phone? It seems as if Samsung has yet to make up its mind, although one source says that it will likely not.
Will this be the next big thing this holiday season? We look forward to finding out.
