Galaxy Tab to Go Official at Verizon on Thursday

Samsung’s first Android-based tablet PC might be closer to landing on Verizon Wireless than ever before, with the latest news on the matter suggesting that the operator would plan on announcing the slate’s arrival on Thursday, while redying its launch for the coming weeks.

We already knew that the wireless carrier has plans on launching the device on its airwaves, and it seems that more info on the matter emerged.

According to a recent article on Engadget, there are great chances that Verizon would announce on Thursday its plans for carrying the new tablet PC, during a Samsung event announced a few weeks ago.

Moreover, it seems that some internal Verizon documents leaked into the wild, showing clearly that the wireless carrier plans on adding this beauty to its offering pretty soon.

The said document touts Galaxy Tab as being set to land on the market with Android 2.2 Froyo on board, in addition to support for Adobe Flash Player 10.1.

The Android-based tablet is also expected to arrive with a series of exclusive applications, aimed mainly at differentiating it from the versions headed for AT&T and Sprint.

It seems that the list of applications pre-loaded on Galaxy Tab might very well include Skype mobile, already present on a wide range of handsets at Verizon, as well as the NFL Mobile app with live game streaming and the RedZone channel.

However, it seems that confirmation on Big Red’s plans for the Galaxy Tab hasn’t emerged for the time being, though it shouldn’t be too long before things are announced officially.

No specific info on the price tag or the exact availability of this device at Verizon emerged either.

Even so, the said document states that the CDMA version of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab Android tablet PC might actually become available for purchase at the carrier in a matter of weeks, which means that enthusiasts might not have that much to wait for it in the end.
