In a Monday announcement, bigwig US wireless carrier AT&T made a disclosure about its forthcoming offerings, and said that it will start selling two new Samsung devices - the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and the ATIV Smart PC - from Friday, November 9, at its US retail stores.

According to the details shared by AT&T about the two forthcoming Samsung devices, the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 will be available for $500; whereas the ATIV Smart PC will cost $800. However, a discount of $100 will be given to customers who purchase either of the two devices - during the holiday season - with any Samsung Galaxy smartphone on a two-year service contract and voice/data plan.

Both the new Samsung devices from AT&T will take advantage of the carrier's high-speed 4G LTE network; and can be added to an already-in-use AT&T Mobile Share plan at an additional monthly cost of only $10.

The key features of the Android 4.0 `Ice Cream Sandwich'-based Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 include a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 screen; dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor; 8GB on-board storage with a microSD slot; and a 7000 mAh battery.

Meanwhile, the main specifications of the ATIV Smart PC - which runs Windows 8 and can be upgraded to Windows 8 Pro - include an 11.6-inch display; a 1.5GHz Intel Atom dual-core processor; and 64GB built-in storage plus a microSD card slot.
