Guess we all knew something like this is in works. I’m talking about a version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab that lacks 3G radio, allowing users to connect to the Internet when in a hotspot, only.
The model marked GT-P1010 has been leaked recently and as far as know it will keep its Galaxy Tab core. GPS may be out too, like that was the case with the WiFi-only iPad.
Pricing and the exact availability date are unknown at this stage. However, the Android tablet got an FCC approval, hinting us the launch may not be far away. Then again, if I were at Samsung, I would make sure my carrier clients are satisfied first, before launching a product that lacks 3G connectivity.
As soon as we hear something new on this front, we’ll definitely talk about it. Stay tuned in the meantime…

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
