14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung Galaxy Tab, the first Android-based tablet PC the South Korean telecoms leader brought to the market, should make an appearance on the market in the United States in the near future, and it appears that the specific release date and pricing for Sprint already made it into the wild.
The wireless services provider should make the new slate available for purchase on its airwaves starting with November 14th, it seems, though nothing was announced officially on the matter until now.
However, the guys over at BGR say that the new device might retail for $399 upon the signing of a two-year contract agreement with the wireless operator.
Moreover, it appears that an anonymous source also unveiled the fact that the Android-based tablet PC would be priced at $599 if purchased free of contract.
These are the only details that were made available on the matter for the time being, but it might not be too long before more emerge, especially if the carrier indeed plans launching the slate in mid-November.
In case there are some unfamiliar with the Galaxy Tab, we should note that it arrives on shelves as Samsung's 7-inch response to Apple's iPad (a 10'' tablet PC, also running under Android, should be launched in a few months).
The slate packs a 1GHz processor inside, complemented by 16GB of internal memory, and a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage space.
The device also includes a 3MP camera on the back, complemented by a 1.3 one on the front, for video calling.
A nice range of connectivity options has been also included into the mix, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS receiver, and support for 3G networks.
The Galaxy Tab runs under Google's Android 2.2 Froyo platform, and sports integration with various applications and services from the Internet giant, as well as support for social networking sites, and enhanced multimedia capabilities.
