Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 on Sprint from 24 June bring 4G 



Samsung wouldn't get any more specific than "mid-summer" when it revealed that the Galaxy Tab 10.1would be coming to Sprint, but it turns out you don't have to wait much longer to pick one via the carrier. Sprint has just announced that the WiFi-only tablet will be available through all its usual channels starting June 24th for the same $499.99 it demands at other retail stores. It also not-so-subtly notes that the tablet is "even more amazing" when paired with an Overdrive Pro 4G mobile hotspot or Novatel MiFi -- sold separately, of course. Full press release is after the break.
