An eagle-eyed reader A self-proclaimed Verizon staff -- and reader of Phone Arena -- remarked that e-tailer Offwire has begun to offer accessories for a version of the Galaxy Tab 11.6 on Verizon. Most significantly, these things are undoubtedly not typos: not only does Offwire will let you browse by both "Galaxy Tab 11.6 AT&T" and also "Galaxy Tab 11.6 Verizon," a spot check suggests that manufacturers which include Case-Mate are already making unique versions of their existing products for that future handset -- models like the Tough and Pop cases have distinct SKUs based on the carrier. Sad to say, none of the Verizon-specific accessories (instead of existing AT&T Galaxy Tab 11.6 products which works with the new model by default) feature full-frontal images with the phone in question; it seems like accessory pages that will feature a stock front-facing AT&T Galaxy Tab 11.6 are actually replaced with "Image Coming Soon" placeholders. With several sources having tipped the very first CDMA Galaxy Tab 11.6 for a Q1 release and probable release, it is no long just a few "if the Galaxy Tab 11.6 comes to Verizon," provided that. Also, the specs for this device continue to be up in the air, but we think that it will be nearly just like the latest Galaxy Tab 11.6 on AT&T.
To paraphrase, we doubt this model is going to be effective at 4G wireless broadband on VZW's nascent LTE network: largely given it has to be slap in the face to AT&T from a multi-year relationship that both parties hope to carry on, but also because Steve Jobs has usually seemed reticent to adopt the latest technologies (like 3G) until Galaxy Tab 11.6 will make them work exactly how it wishes. Update: So not merely has Offwire seemingly pulled all of the products which once appeared in the Galaxy Tab 11.6 Verizon category, a commenter over at Phone Arena noticed that Case-Mate currently has a website dedicated to products for the upcoming handset. Or, it used to: the URL now redirects to a generic Galaxy Tab 11.6 squeeze page, but thanks to Google cache, the original content continues. Particularly, the copy reads:Its coming.
