T-Mobile said Thursday that the wireless 
carrier will begin selling Samsung's new Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus tablet in its stores nationwide beginning next week. Through the addition of Samsung's updated 7-inch model, T-Mobile will be able to offer customers an entire portfolio of tablets with 7-inch, 9-inch, and 10-inch multi-touch displays.
"Consumers want a selection of affordable, highly mobile tablets that can deliver the content they want virtually anywhere they go," said T-Mobile Vice President Jeremy Korst.
The Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus will have an initial post-rebate price of $250 when it debuts nationwide on Nov. 16. However, buyers with approved credit will also have to pay $10 per month on an interest-free basis for an additional 20 months to complete their purchase.
Amazon as well as Barnes & Noble are also rolling out color tablets of their own this month that will cost consumers substantially less. On the other hand, neither the Kindle Fire ($200) nor the new Nook Tablet ($250) offers a cellular connectivity option.
Connectivity Options
T-Mobile is betting that many of its subscribers will be attracted to the Samsung tablet, which offers high-speed packet access plus connectivity. As much as three times faster than a conventional HSPA connection, HSPA+ will give T-Mobile's tablet users the requisite speed bump for downloading multimedia files as well as meet the needs of business professionals who need to maintain a fast anywhere/anytime connection while on the go.
Tipping the scales at just 0.77 pounds, Samsung's svelte 7-inch model also offers a number of other connectivity options in addition to HSPA+, including Bluetooth 3.0 and Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n). Also on tap is Wi-Fi Direct, which enables Wi-Fi devices to communicate with each other without the need for a wireless access point or hot spot.
What's more, the Samsung tablet offers voice and video call support without requiring the use of a headset. Also aboard is Samsung's full-touch user interface for mobile devices. TouchWiz enables new panning and tilt features by drawing upon the motion detection data produced by the device 's built in accelerometer and gyroscope. (continued...)
