So the 8.9 version of this device has all the style, coolness, and swag (yes I said swag, and probably will be the last time you see me type it) of its larger brother in a more manageable size.

Though I find saying “8.9″ odd, the device has that just right feel. It isn’t too big nor too small. I find the Galaxy Tab series to be on par with the style of any iPad 2, so when Read more

T-Mobile’s marketing campaigns “prominently feature” the Galaxy S 4G phone and Galaxy Tab 10.1, and the company has also ordered holiday inventory, it said in the filing. “These investments cannot be recouped easily,” the company said.
