Verizon will announce Samsung Galaxy Tab on Thursday



The Thursday announcement rumor comes from a leaked image of the in-house web site for Verizon employees. The image has a date of Semptember 14 and it says “On Thursday, we’ll announce the upcoming launch of The Samsung Galaxy Tab.” If authentic, that doesn’t necessarily mean it is coming Thursday, just being announced Thursday. We still don’t know the price of the Galaxy Tab on Verizon, when it may launch or if it will require a contract for purchase.

The Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab Smart Media Device is listed with a 1GHz processor, 7-inch LCD screen, Bluetooth 3.0 and Android 2.2, although no UK release date.

Given that these are all specs found in the average mobile phone (the 7-inch screen aside) it's truly hard to see where the cost hikes are coming for the new Samsung Galaxy Tab.
