The folks at the carrier of magenta (T-Mobile if you haven?t been keeping up) have announced two new tablets. One kind of doesn?t count as a huge announcement in our books. It?s the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with 4G radios inside.
While T-Mobile initially confirmed they?d be carrying the tablet, we didn?t know if it?d be WiFi-only or with data radios inside. Now we know. Look forward to HSPA+ connectivity alongside a 10.1 inch display, a 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor, 1GB of RAM, Android 3.2 Honeycomb and more.
The 7-inch T-Mobile Springboard will excite quite a bit of you. T-Mobile?s calling this one ?ultra-portable? as the Huawei-manufactured tablet purports that aforementioned 7 inch display, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor (no mention on the make and model), a 5 megapixel rear camera that is capable of shooting 1080p HD video, a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera and a standard SD card slot with support for 32GB cards.
Both tablets have been given an availability window of ?in time for the holiday season? with nary a price to mention. Read on for full press details.

You should consider them with caution. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond Deutsche Telekom?s control.

Further, the economic downturn in our markets, and changes in interest and currency exchange rates, may also have an impact on our business development and the availability of financing on favourable conditions. Changes to our expectations concerning future cash flows may lead to impairment write downs of assets carried at historical cost, which may materially affect our results at the group and operating segment levels. If these or other risks and uncertainties materialize, or if the assumptions underlying any of these statements prove incorrect, our actual performance may materially differ from the performance expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. We can offer no assurance that our estimates or expectations will be achieved.
