Samsung announced the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 at an event in New York City, today. It will go on sale tomorrow for $499.99 for the 16GB model and $549 for 32GB model. It kind of like a huge Galaxy Note with some Samsung Galaxy S III features.
Samsung is continuing what it started with its other products getting placement with top celebrities sporting their products. At the event fashion designer Zac Posen, and writer, producer, director Baz Luhrmann showed how they use the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

The handwriting recognition on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is very good. We started using the Samsung Galaxy Note phablet for text entry a few weeks ago with the goal of writing and entire article on it and publishing it. Samsung has sold over 10 million Samsung Galaxy Note phablets.
It will be sold at major retail outlets. Available accessories include replacement S Pen, S Pen Holder Kit, Book Cover in Grey or White, Travel Charger, USB Connection Kit to allow usage of thumb drives or USB peripherals, HDMI adapter and Universal Desktop Dock.
Meanwhile, WalMart is selling refurbished Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablets for as low as $249.99.
I wonder how much they pay the celebs to use their products.
