We've certainly been hearing a lot about the Samsung Galaxy Tab lately, including the pretty strong evidence that it is headed to Verizon. The Android tablet made the rounds at the FCC recently, under the name “SHW-M180S”. From the looks of it, this device is shaping up to be more than just a bigger version of the Galaxy S, in more ways than one.
For starters, there's a very good chance it is going to ship with Android 2.2 installed, which will add a performance boost out of the box. Also, it is boasting dual-band 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi capable of speeds up to 150Mbps. That is some pretty impressive wireless capability, which would make it one of the most powerful wireless tablets on the market.
It's also worth noting that the device seems to include the GSM 1900 radio frequency, meaning AT&T may also be in the cards for the Galaxy Tab. It looks like we are definitely getting close to an official announcement very soon, which could come as early as this weekend at IFA. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
