Galaxy Tab with 4G LTE

Tablets will be one of the hottest devices this holiday season, with Amazon's 7-inch Kindle Fire (in all probability) leading the pack. But Verizon Wireless wants you to know that the Kindle Fire isn't your only option for a $199 tablet. The company just announced that on Black Friday they're giving the Fire some competition, offering the Motorola XOOM 4G LTE – which features a larger 10.1" screen – for just $199.

Want a tablet even cheaper than that? Verizon will also offer the 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab 4G LTE for just $149 (after $50 mail-in rebate). Both these devices will be equipped with Verizon's 4G LTE, so you can be connected anywhere, anytime. Plus, these devices use Google web-browsing and have full access to the Android market's 500,000+ available apps, (which the Kindle Fire does not offer).

Additional Black Friday discounts:

• 4G Pantech Breakout - $49*
• 4G LG Revolution - $49*
• 4G Novatel 4510 WiFi - $29*
• 4G Novatel 551L USB modem – FREE*
• 4G CPO Novatel 4510 WiFi – FREE
