I got a gift note from my husband last Christmas that said: "one tablet". I figured it would be easy to find a tablet that I liked. I wanted to get an Android tablet, to be compatible with my phone. Samsung was supposed to be coming out with new tablets in early spring, and I was willing to wait.
Since early spring, Samsung has come out with at least 3 sets of new tablets--each with ca. 8, 10, and 12-inch screens. Initially I wanted to get the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1. It first came out in March, I believe--but only in wireless. The PR announcements said the tablets would be available on the wireless networks, including Verizon, a few months late.
I've waited and waited, and still no Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 on the Verizon network. At this point, I've stopped checking the Internet and stopping in at Verizon stores to see when they might come in. They have no idea.
Meanwhile, Samsung keeps coming out with new sets of tablets--I can't even remember what the latest set is called. But nothing I want is available on the Verizon wireless network.
And in the meantime, it's starting to look like tablets are becoming passe. Sales are down, and phones are getting bigger. People are again buying laptops.
Whatever reason Samsung has for not moving its tablets quickly to the Verizon network, that strategy may have backfired big time. Seems like the tablet craze came and went, and I never got the chance to get in on the craze before it petered out.
Guess I'll either wait for the next big phone, or get a new laptop. Or both.
