The Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is Sprint’s first 4G LTE-3G EV-DO tablet. It also runs on Ice Cream Sandwich and features the latest version of TouchWiz.
The final device is a USB stick that can tap into the 4G LTE network, as well as Sprint 3G network and the 4G WiMax network that Sprint previously used, which is run by Clearwire. Sprint said the stick can seamlessly move from one network technology to another without a dropped connection.
