Today it’s official! Verizon makes the launch date for the 4G LTE-powered Galaxy Tab 10.1 real. Starting in two days on July 28th, you can head down to your local VZW retailer and pick up the fastest, sexiest Android tablet. The Tab 10.1 offers users a 1GHz dual-core processor on a 10.1inch display, running Android 3.1, dual cameras (2MP in front & 3MP in the back), 1GB of RAM and your choice of 16GB or 32GB of storage.
