In addition to the previously mentioned upgrade to the Galaxy S II, complete with LTE, it seems that Samsung will be rolling out the Galaxy Tab 8.9 tablet with LTE next week as well. The Galaxy Tab 8.9 was originally announced way back at CTIA earlier this spring, but there has been nary a peep about it from Samsung since then.
The Galaxy Tab 8.9 with LTE is expected to be launched on August 29, and conveniently, Samsung has a press event scheduled in New York City on that date. In addition to the new LTE support, it should feature a faster, 1.5GHz, dual-core processor, likely the same one found in the upgraded Galaxy S II. The 8.9-inch display has a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution, and the tablet runs Android 3.2 Honeycomb.
If Samsung does unveil this new version of the Galaxy Tab 8.9 next week, it could be headed to either Verizon Wireless or AT&T, as both have promised more LTE-equipped tablets and devices are coming. Samsung would be required to make separate versions for each carrier for 3G fallback when out of 4G LTE range, though in theory, the company could pack GSM, CDMA, and LTE support into one model. We should know more about it soon enough, provided a certain natural disaster doesn't put NYC underwater
