14 DAY TRIAL // Galaxy Tab, the first Android-based tablet PC from South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics, should be released on its homeland market on the network of another wireless carrier starting with next week, namely LG U+. The 7-inch Android-based tablet PC was made available for purchase in South Korea several weeks ago on the airwaves of SKT, and has already proved a pretty popular device.
According to a recent article on Samsung Hub, the tablet PC is currently selling a number of around 4,000 units per day, much more than what Apple's iPad is selling (about 1,000 daily).
While no specific info on this emerged for the time being, LG U+ is expected to introduce data-only plans for the new Android device.
The specifications list of the Galaxy Tab for LG U+ should be the same as those for the variant currently selling in the country via SKT. Announced officially back in September, the Galaxy Tab went on sale around the world in October.
The tablet PC packs a 7.0 inches touchscreen display that can offer a 600 x 1024 pixels resolution, and sports a Gorilla Glass display.
The specs list of this device also includes a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor, complemented by 512 MB of RAM, and 16 GB of internal memory space.
The tablet PC also comes with a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage space.
At the same time, it includes support for HSDPA, 7.2 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP, USB 2.0, 3.15-megapixel photo snapper on the back and a 1.3MP camera on the front for video calling.
Running under Google's Android 2.2 operating system, the tablet PC offers support for a wide range of services and applications, while being able to offer a great web browsing experience through the included support for Adobe Flash Player 10.1.
