Samsung today unveiled the final details of the U.S. launch of its Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. First unveiled back at MWC 2012, Samsung then spent some time making some modifications before reintroducing it earlier this month. The revised Galaxy Note 10.1 will now hit the U.S. market on August 16th.
“Our goal with the Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 was simple – redefine the tablet experience,” said Tim Baxter, President, Samsung Electronics America. “The S Pen offers both active content creation as well as passive content consumption, while the Multiscreen capability finally enables true multitasking. For the user, the resulting experience is completely new and quite unexpected.”
