Vodafone and Samsung launch the Galaxy Tab

Powered by Android Operating System 2.2, the Galaxy Tab is the first tablet, ‘smart media device’ by Samsung. It will start selling in October in the majority of Vodafone’s European markets and through several partner networks, as well as in a number of other Vodafone markets worldwide.

"Vodafone's aim is to offer all customers new and attractive ways to enjoy mobile data, on the move, across a variety of devices," said Patrick Chomet, Group Director of Terminals at Vodafone. “Adding tablets as part of our device range is a natural next step that gives customers an alternative way to enjoy great content and internet services.”

DJ Lee, Senior Vice President and Head of Sales & Marketing Team of Samsung Electronics, said “I am very excited to introduce Samsung GALAXY Tab with Vodafone. Thanks to Vodafone’s strong promotion and co-marketing with us, Samsung Galaxy Tab can be an outstanding smart media device to lead a new media revolution."

With GALAXY Tab, users will enjoy full web browsing with flash 10.1 support, reading eBooks, newspapers, or magazines, and watching HD videos on the large enough 7-inch display while on the move.

"Furthermore, it is still compact enough to carry everywhere,” Lee said.
