We've been hearing that the Samsung Galaxy Tab is soon to be released by Verizon, and today it was announced the official launch date will be November 11. As you may recall, 11/11 is also the expected launch of the Motorola DROID 2 Global, Motorola DROID PRO, Motorola CITRUS, and Palm Pre 2. The Samsung Galaxy Tab will run on the Android 2.2 Froyo operating system and will feature a 7" 1024x600 WSVGA resolution capacitive touch-sensitive display, Cortex A8 1GHz Hummingbird processor, 3G EVDO and Wi-Fi connectivity, a 3MP autofocus camera on the back and a 1.3MP camera on the front for video chats, 4000mAh battery, and an accelerometer sensor. The software will include a full HTML browser with Flash 10.1 capabilities, VCast Music, Song ID, VZ Navigator, Slacker, Kindle, Blockbuster, and Let's Golf game. Pricing will be $599.99, but it is unclear if that is with or without a contract or a mail-in-rebate. Available monthly data packages will be $20 for 1GB, $35 for 3GB, $50 for 5GB, and $80 for 10GB; as it appears there will not be an unlimited data plan for tablets. There is also a page that Verizon has that will send you email updates. Also keep in mind that the Apple iPad is coming to Verizon on October 28 and will be bundled with the MiFi 2200 for $629 (16GB memory) to $829 (64GB memory).
