Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab won’t have 4G
Posted in: 4G, Android, breaking news, BreakingNews, galaxy, GalaxyTab, samsung, Sprint, tab, tablet, Today's Chili, WiMAX
Well, isn’t this a bit sad — the Sprint version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab will be 3G-only. Ouch — we’d definitely heard that Sprint’s version of the Galaxy Tab would follow in the steps of the Epic 4G and have a WiMAX radio, but no dice, amigos. We’re guessing Sprint won’t be cheekily releasing a Tab case with a built-in Overdrive pocket, either.

Samsung Media Hub: movies and next-day TV shows from NBC, Paramount, Universal, and more
Posted in: breaking news, BreakingNews, galaxy, GalaxyS, GalaxyTab, samsung, Today's Chili
We’ve been itching to see how Samsung would leverage Media Hub, and now we’re getting the goods at its Galaxy Tab event. Compatible with Tab and Galaxy S devices, both movies and next-day TV shows will be available for purchase and rental. As for the content partners, they’re not quite shabby: MTV Networks, NBC, Paramount, Universal Studios, and Warner, with more to be announced. Purchased content can be shared with up to five devices. What’s not specified is pricing. We should be getting hands-on with it soon, so stay tuned — or whatever the internet equivalent of that idiom is.

Samsung Galaxy Tab WiFi-only version coming, 3G versions almost certain to require contracts
Posted in: Android, breaking news, BreakingNews, GalaxyTab, samsung, samsung galaxy tab, SamsungGalaxyTab, Today's Chili, wifi
After revealing the Galaxy Tab will be coming to all four major US carriers, Samsung also said a WiFi-only version will be coming soon. No word on pricing or availability yet, but it’s pretty critical that Samsung meet the $499 base price of the iPad, especially since the Wall Street Journal says the carriers will offer the 3G version for $200 – $300, a price point that all but guarantees required data contracts given the unlocked European pricing. We’ll be trying to find out more after the press conference, so stay tuned…

Samsung Tablet to Debut on Big Four U.S. Carriers
Posted in: Android, ipad, samsung, Sprint, t-mobile, Tablets and E-Readers, Today's Chili, verizon
Samsung is milking the launch of its 7-inch tablet called the Galaxy Tab by trickling out a little bit of news about it every other week. After announcing the Galaxy Tab’s launch in Europe earlier this month, Samsung held a press conference Thursday to say the device will be available in the U.S in the next few weeks.
The Galaxy Tab will be available on all the four major wireless service providers — AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile. There’s still no word on pricing or exact shipping date for the Galaxy Tab. The devices, which support 3G and WiFi, will arrive in time for the holiday shopping season, says Samsung. A Wi-Fi only version of the tablet will be available in the future.
The Galaxy Tab runs Android 2.2 Froyo operating system and has a LCD display with a 1024 x 600 resolution. At 0.8 pounds, the device weighs just about half as much as the iPad. It also supports Adobe’s Flash Player 10.1 so it can display web pages that run Flash — something the iPad can’t. The Galaxy Tab will run many Android Market apps in full screen and those that are not scalable will be framed and centered on the screen at 800 x 400 resolution.
Another feature that U.S. customers of Galaxy Tab will get is the Media Hub, a mobile widget that will allow users to download and rent movies.
The Galaxy Tab will come with three accessories: a $100 keyboard dock, a $50 desktop dock, which will double as a charger, and a $100 car and GPS dock.

Official: Samsung Galaxy Tab headed to AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon

That’s right! Once again, Samsung’s gotten all four of the major US carriers in its court — and just as we’d heard, the 7-inch Galaxy Tab will be heading to Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile sometime during the October / November timeframe. We wish we had more to share on the availability part, but Samsung’s leaving that and the pricing announcements to the carriers. (We do know that the keyboard dock will cost $100 and the desktop dock $50.) We got to check out the US version of the Galaxy Tab earlier today, and its raw specs — 1GHz Hummingbird, Android 2.2, 7-inch, 1024 x 600 WSVGA resolution display, front and rear cams — were exactly the same as the one we previewed last week at IFA. However, Samsung tells us that TouchWiz will be tweaked slightly for the stateside crowd — it won’t have the Reader or Music hubs, but will have the social networking apps and a new Media Hub. There will also be preloaded carrier apps — for instance, AT&T’s version will come with its Connection Manager. Obviously, we can only hope that Verizon’s wised up and isn’t planning to totally Bing-out its Tab. No word on an unlocked or WiFi version hitting the US, but apparently it’s being talked about internally. We’ll be bringing you some more hands-on shots soon and trying to dig up more on pricing, but hit the break for the full press release.
Updated: Samsung just confirmed that a WiFi-only version will come at some point…

These aren’t quite completely official just yet, but a pair of new Dell Studio XPS laptops have turned up on the French website LesDelliens.com, and Dell France has seemingly offered a confirmation of sorts that they’ll soon be rolling out. The laptops in question include the Studio XPS 15 and Studio XPS 17 (seemingly successor to the XPS 13 and XPS 16 pictured above), which are said to pack Core i7 processors, an unspecified NVIDIA graphics card, and up to 8GB of RAM and a 750GB hard drive on the XPS 15, and up to 16GB of RAM and a 1.2TB hard drive on the XPS 17. As for that statement from Dell France, it says that while it doesn’t normally comment on rumors, there is a “strong likelihood” that the systems mentioned will be marketed in the near future, and that they’ll be “great machines” that are “slim and sleek.”
