Samsung Galaxy Tab for US Cellular in time for the holiday season

Following the Samsung Mesmerize Galaxy S smartphone launched by US Cellular, the carrier is announcing that its first mobile tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, will be available to customers in time for the holiday shopping season. U.S. Cellular’s version of the Galaxy Tab is backed by its nationwide 3G network and all the valuable benefits of The Belief Project, which is a series of industry-first initiatives developed to elevate the wireless experience and fix the frustrations wireless customers have with their carriers, one project at a time.

Those not familiar with the Samsung Galaxy Tab should know that it comes with a vibrant 7-inch WSVGA TFT touchscreen and is powered by a 1GHz Hummingbird Application processor. The device operates on the Android 2.2 platform, with full support for Adobe Flash Player 10.1 and access to the more than 100,000 applications available on the Android Market. It features two cameras, a 3 megapixel camera on the back with autofocus and zoom, and a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera for video chat. The AllShare application allows customers to send video, audio and pictures from their Galaxy Tab to other DLNA-enabled devices, like TVs and computers. The Galaxy Tab comes with a virtual QWERTY keyboard with Swype technology, allowing customers to input text quickly by sliding their finger over the keyboard in one continuous motion. It also features Samsung’s Social Hub, an MP3 player and 3.5 mm headphone jack, WiFi capabilities, Bluetooth 3.0 and expandable memory up to 32GB. Pricing and availability will be announced soon.
