Will You Buy A Tablet From A Mobile Phone Company?
Last week we learned about the Samsung Galaxy Tab, which is an appealing 7-inch tablet running Android. We do not yet know how much it will cost, but today AndroidGuys is reporting on a Wall Street Journal article that says the Galaxy Tab will be sold by Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint. Engadget has uncovered a photo that appears to confirm at least the AT&T portion of the news. In my opinion the news that the Galaxy Tab will be sold by mobile phone companies highlights the problem of using Android in tablets.
I doubt that there will be many people who will seriously use a 7-inch tablet to make phone calls, but because the Samsung Tab has a cellular radio that pretty much means it has to be sold by the mobile phone companies in the United States.
