Android News, Android Reviews, and Everything Android
Samsung sure doesn’t have have tunnel vision with bringing 4.1 to the Galaxy S3. Rumor has it, today they are starting the first Android 4.1 tests for Samsung’s tablets. While Samsung did already confirm this for the Note 10.1, its plans for the Tab 2 line have yet to be confirmed. Today’s news would suggest it’s starting on its way towards receiving an update to Android 4.1. [Read more...]
If you’re interested in the latest Galaxy Tab, it’ll be in stores this week; the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 for Verizon has been officially slated for March 1st.
It comes with Honeycomb (Android 3.2), which sadly is not the latest Android’s latest OS version, Ice Cream Sandwich. As the name implies, the tablet’s Super AMOLED, 1280 x 800 resolution display measures in at 7.7 inches. Other specs include [Read more...]
As we’ve seen once before, Samsung is throwing yet another advertisement for the “78910″ Tablet which is set to be unveiled at CTIA, March 22nd. With CTIA only because a couple weeks away, we’re hoping that Sammy has something a little more sweet up their sleeve than just an 8.9-inch Galaxy Tab. Maybe some added features? Honeycomb?
One thing is for sure, a couple of us from the DroidNerds crew will be at CTIA here in Orlando, FL to get the 411 on what Samsung has to offer us!
The Galaxy Tab wouldn’t be the most popular Android tablet if it didn’t have some exclusivity to it. Thankfully, over in Canada, Rogers announced that they will be adding a white Samsung Galaxy Tab to their mix for those who don’t care for the same old black colored devices. The announcement came from the providers Twitter account yesterday, which surely will interest many of their customers. Here’s to change!
There’s been a lot of price cuts on the Samsung Galaxy Tab lately, and now Sprint’s jumping in the game to throw their best offer against the rest of the competition. So what does this mean? Well, it means that Sprint’s now taking $100 off it’s contract price, and dropping it to only $299 after you sign up for a 2-year contract. This makes Sprint the second best spot to grab the Samsung Galaxy Tab, while the best offer is still through US Cellular who’s offering it for the super-low price of just $200 with contract. Surely the Motorola XOOM’s upcoming launch must be causing some anxiety with select carriers, and we’re not so sure these minor price cuts will convince even the most die-hard tablet fanatics. I know personally, unless I can pick up a Galaxy Tab for $100 with no contract… I’ll still be saving up for the XOOM when it launches. Yeah, it’s that good.
Looks like we’re going to see another price drop on the Samsung Galaxy Tab, this time through Verizon. Although the price change isn’t posted on either Samsung or Verizon’s online store yet, the $100 price drop from it’s original tag of $599 is already featured at a variety of walk-in locations. To sweeten up this deal, The Big Red is throwing in $60 worth of free movie rentals through Samsung’s Media Hub or the Blockbuster App.
If you happened to purchase the Galaxy Tab within the last 14 days prior to this reduction, don’t fret. You can run back to your Verizon store and they’ll give your $100 refund. All is well, right?
If the Samsung Galaxy Tab was out of your price range before, then you’ll be pleased to know that Best Buy is dropping the price of the Tablet a whole $100 from the contract-free price of $599. There’s no serious obligations by grabbing the Galaxy Tab at this new price, but you do have to sign up for just 1 month, but after that month it’s all yours to do whatever you please with no further contract terms. For $499 you can’t really go wrong for the Galaxy Tab.
Sprint is well aware of the demand for 4G, not only on smartphones but on tablets as well. We weren’t lucky enough to get to experience the speeds that 4G brings us with the Sprint Galaxy Tab, but an executive over at Sprint has told Forbes that a 4G tablet is in the works for a launch of 2011. The company also noted that they intend to sell tablets with different operating systems, another than Android, but we can’t assume that they’d leave a fresh Honeycomb tablet behind say, a Windows OS tablet. Only time will tell.
Originally Samsung predicted that their newest tablet, The Galaxy Tab would hit 1 million in sales before the years end, and it appears that they are well on their way to hitting their quota. Currently the company reports that they have sold around 600,000 Galaxy Tabs worldwide, and it hasn’t even been available for more than a month! Pretty darn impressive in terms of demand. We see no reason why pushing out another 400k units would be a hard task, especially with the Black Friday and Holiday specials right around the corner.

As you know, Black Friday usually brings us plenty of awesome opportunities to save some sweet mulah on all sorts of electronics. T-Mobile has just announced their Black Friday deal, which definitely holds its own against some of the other specials we’ve seen so far. Starting this Friday the 26th, new and current T-Mobile customers who sign up for a family plan with a 2-year contract and purchase the Samsung Galaxy Tab, T-Mobile G2, or MyTouch 4G will have the privilege of grabbing any one of the following devices… for FREE.
An epic deal to say the least. So if you’re on T-Mobile or looking to sign up… Friday is the day to do so. The deal lasts until January 18th, so if you don’t feel like fighting the Black Friday Mob, then don’t worry- you’ve got some time.
