Samsung Galaxy Tab is Coming! [tech]

The iPad will finally have some competition. Samsung has announced their Galaxy Tab computer will be available November 10th in T-Mobile stores.

via Mashable:

After Verizon and Sprint, T-Mobile is the third major U.S. carrier to reveal the launch date for the Galaxy Tab, and — unless AT&T spoils it for them — T-Mobile customers will get the chance to buy the device one day before Verizon customers and four days before Sprint customers.

In the announcement, T-Mobile mentions its fast HSPA+ mobile broadband network, which should go hand-in-hand with Galaxy Tab’s 3G chip, but it doesn’t mention the price. The mystery of Galaxy Tab is nearly solved, but until we hear from AT&T and learn the price for the device from T-Mobile, the puzzle won’t be complete.

iPad Becomes MenuPad [tech]

A restaurant in Australia has employed the use of the MenuApp for the iPad and thus has replaced its menus with iPads.

According to Gawker:

The app allows the restaurant to easily change its menu, shows pictures of each dish, and also communicates orders directly to the kitchen, cutting down on server error. And, just to show off, it can even recommend dishes based on the weather or your mood. The video below shows the MenuPad at work.
