Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 hits Verizon for $350 August 17
Verizon just confirmed it is adding the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 to its lineup of tablets for $350 starting Aug. 17. The full press release is below:
Samsung Open Sources Galaxy Tab 2 ICS software
Samsung announced some less-important news last night, compared to the announcements made earlier yesterday. However, this might be exciting for the developer community: Samsung has open-sourced the code that runs both the 7-inch and 10-inch Galaxy Tab 2 models. Samsung posted the code over at its open source page.
With the open source code, developers can now put their own spin on the version of Ice Cream Sandwich that Samsung makes available on the Tab 2. The Tab 2 does not feature an outright version of Android 4.0, because it has Samsung’s custom TouchWiz UI layer on-top. TouchWiz adds various UI enhancements and apps to ICS, some of which are actually pretty useful.
Do you think you are up for a little code tinkering? Try it! You can check out the model numbers for the Tab 2 after the break.
