We just got done wrapping up our live blog of the Samsung press conference and were happy to hear that Samsung is planning to bring the Galaxy Tab to all 4 of the major carriers in the U.S. – just like they did with their Galaxy S phones. Unfortunately, if you were hoping for some 4G goodness, you are out of luck. We are uncertain why Samsung decided to go this route, maybe it was a push to get to the market first. In any case, at least you can expect competitive pricing with whichever carrier you plan to go with.
Samsung announced at tonight’s press conference that the Galaxy Tab will be available on all 4 major US carriers: AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon. Furthermore, Samsung announced that a WiFi only version is in fact on its way, but did not give any further details. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
Man the Galaxy Tab sure does get around doesn’t it? So far, it’s on the way to AT&T, Sprint, Vodafone, Three and now it’s all but confirmed for Verizon.
We’ve had a sprinkle of Galaxy Tab/Verizon news already, but the image above all but beats you over the head with the fact that the GTab (I like calling it that, although Google probably wouldn’t) is definitely coming to Verizon in the not-to-distant future.
With how far Samsung is spreading the Galaxy Tab, do you think it can/will dethrone the iPad? Let us know in the comments

Smartphone platforms, including Android, are responsible for strong gains in the LCD display market, according to research firm iSuppli. Shipments of small and medium-sized TFT LCD panels are poised to rise 28.1% to 2.3 billion units this year.
The Super AMOLED display market is also growing at a very rapid rate, thanks in large part to Samsung’s very successful Galaxy S line. The Galaxy Tab should also help push Super AMOLED’s numbers, but iSuppli warns that these figures should start declining next year as phone and tablet sales begin to cool down.

We already know that the Galaxy Tab is headed to Verizon and Sprint, but now it seems the Android 2.2 tablet is one step closer to hitting all four major carriers like its older brother, the Galaxy S. A leaked image showing an AT&T branded Galaxy Tab is giving a pretty strong indication that it will indeed be going head to head with the iPad on the same network.
Furthermore, it’s looking like it will be hitting shelves by December, just in time for holiday shopping. No official statement has been made by AT&T yet, so this should still be filed under the rumor category. However, the evidence in this case seems pretty compelling, so we should expect to see some kind of announcement soon.

A second mobile provider in the United Kingdom has been confirmed to be supplying the Galaxy Tab to eager customers. No date has been provided for the release, but we do have some monthly pricing to provide you all with:
Three voice packages:
- SIM10: £10 a month including 100 any network minutes, 2000 Three-to-Three minutes, 3000 texts and 1GB data
- SIM15: £15 a month including 300 any network minutes, 2000 Three-to-Three minutes, 3000 texts and 1GB data

- 5GB data for £15
Data customers are able to make calls and send text with their data SIM at 10p per text, 10p to call Three mobile or landlines and 25p to other networks.
This is very exciting news. I think that Three have provided some very reasonable pricing plans for the Galaxy Tab. The only thing that is not mentioned in these pricing details is how much the device will cost itself. This is the same situation we have seen with Vodafone UK.
Hopefully we will get some more information from Three regarding the Galaxy Tab soon. In the mean time here is the full press release below:

What would a day be without some Galaxy Tab news? Todays dose comes from Amazon.de. The online mega-giant is currently listing an unlocked Galaxy Tab for €799, which works out to about $1,030. This is rather surprising news considering that the Galaxy Tab is rumored to be offered for $300-$400 in the US.
Keep in mind that the €799 is for the unlocked version. It’ll be interesting to see what Vodafone offers the Galaxy Tab for, as that will give us an idea of how a two or three year contract will subsidize the price of the 7in tablet.

That’s right folks, it looks like Vodafone is joining Sprint and Verizon on the list of carriers who will be offering the Galaxy Tab. It’s going to be really interesting watching how fast Android-powered tablets eat into iPad market share. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out our spec-comparison of the iPad, Galaxy Tab and Toshiba’s Folio 100.

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab isn’t even out yet, but it’s already generating a ton of buzz in the Android community. The 7in tablet will reportedly cost US customers something around $200 to $400 depending on carrier subsidies (Since Sprint and Verizon are probably getting the Galaxy Tab).
However, the Korea Times suggests that it’ll cost $300-400 citing a Samsung higher-up who said that “the Galaxy Tab will cost slightly more than a Galaxy S phone.”
