Samsung Galaxy Tab Release Detailed

Joanna Stern:

Samsung’s gotten all four of the major US carriers in its court — and just as we’d heard, the 7-inch Galaxy Tab will be heading to Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile sometime during the October / November timeframe.

Sounds like Samsung has gone where the Nexus One couldn’t — to every major US carrier. Additionally, they will be offering a no-contract Wi-Fi only version.

The big issue is that Android hasn’t really been on a major tablet yet, and Google itself has said the OS isn’t ready for such devices. While Samsung’s TouchWiz interface may be able to patch things up, the truth is that Android hasn’t been made to scale as smoothly as iOS does.
