T-Mobile readies Galaxy S 4G and G-Slate

February is shaping up to be a hot month in the mobile device space. This time it’s T-Mobile USA Inc. with plans to release the Galaxy S 4G from Samsung Telecommunications America later this month.
The exclusive Android-powered device for the carrier features a 4-inch Super AMOLED touch screen and comes preloaded with a suite of entertainment apps and content. T-Mobile TV, which features select network programming, and a digital copy of the film “Inception” will both come preloaded on the device.
“The Galaxy S 4G pushes the envelope by reaping the benefits of our network’s unprecedented speeds and by offering groundbreaking entertainment experiences,” Andrew Sherrard, SVP of product management at T-Mobile USA, said in a prepared statement. “We are excited to continue to expand our portfolio of 4G devices that enable our customers to have access to unique and compelling features and an optimal 4G experience.”
T-Mobile will follow up this spring with the G-Slate tablet from LG Electronics Inc. Featuring the latest version of Google Inc.’s (GOOG) Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system and an 8.9-inch multi-touch display, LG also claims it will be among the first tablets to feature 3D capabilities.
“The G-Slate represents the next chapter in T-Mobile’s rich history of Android innovation,” Brad Duea, SVP of marketing at T-Mobile USA, said in a prepared statement. “Tablets enable users to take with them the rich Web and entertainment experiences they have at home, and this will radically shift the way people interact with and consume content while mobile. The G-Slate delivers a powerful combination of premium mobile HD entertainment and T-Mobile’s lightning-fast 4G mobile broadband network.”
