14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung Galaxy Tab, the first tablet PC the South Korean mobile phone maker brought to shelves with Google's Android operating system on board, should make an appearance on the Canadian market at wireless carrier Bell next week, on November 12th, to be more specific.
According to some leaked documents from the wireless carrier, we should see the Android slate launched on “Canada’s best network” next week with SMS capabilities on board.
Moreover, it appears that the first units have already started to make an appearance in the wireless carrier's inventory.
For the time being, however, there are no specific details available on the price tag the tablet PC might sport at Bell, nor on whether it would be put on pre-order too.
Even so, a recent article on BGR notes that the slate should indeed arrive on shelves in Canada pretty soon, offering users the possibility to enjoy Android 2.2 on that large 7-inch screen it sports.
For those who might have not encountered the device before, we should note that it packs a 1GHz application processor inside, complemented by 16GB/32GB of internal memory.
At the same time, the tablet PC comes with a mcroSD memory card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage space.
Other specifications of the device include a 3.2-megapixel photo snapper on the back, complemented by a 1.3MP camera on the front, for video chat. The Galaxy Tab also comes with a Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G connectivity options, as well as with enhanced multimedia capabilities.
Running under Android 2.2 Froyo, the slate offers support for Adobe Flash Player 10.1, so that users can access a wider range of websites on their devices.
Not to mention that it sports support for various Google services, as well as for applications, which can be downloaded and installed from the Android Market.
Provided that the rumor pans out, we should see Bell announcing the Galaxy Tab's arrival pretty soon, so keep an eye on this space for more info on the matter.
