Mr. Chang goes on to say that the company is planning to release 100,000 more units by the end of May and 200,000 in June. This is great news for those of us that are waiting to get our hands on this device. And it should serve as a “lessons learned†model for future Android tablet makers. If you price it right, it will fly off the shelves.
Samsung has quietly launched a signup page for the upcoming Galaxy Tab 10.1. On this page it outs all of the carriers that will apparently offer some variation of the device. We don’t know as of yet if there will be a 3G version for all the carriers listed but we have a strong feeling there will be. the lucky carriers that will get to sale this device is all four of the major carriers, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon and AT&T. there are a few lucky regional carriers that will also get a crack at this tablet. MetroPCS, US Cellular, and Cellular South are all listed. Unless Samsung made a huge mistake in listing all these carriers, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be readily available to all that would like to buy it no matter what your carrier choice happens to be. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for a simultaneous launch of the Wi-Fi only models alongside the 3G versions. Read the rest of this entry »
