With pre-orders for Samsung‘s upcoming Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus having opened just a few days ago, we knew it was only a matter of time before a release date was confirmed. And wouldn’t you know it, a release date has been confirmed.

A press release from Samsung reveals that the 7-inch Honeycomb-powered tablet will arrive on November 13, with an attached price of $399.99. Best Buy, Amazon, Tiger Direct and Fry’s are named among the retailers that will be offering the device.

The Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is a beastly little device, especially at the price it’s been set for. The Honeycomb OS is powered by a 1.2 GHz dual core processor. It includes a 3 MP camera and is capable of capturing high-definition video at 720p. It also features a built-in infrared transmitter, allowing it to be used as a sort of superpowered universal remote control.

If there's one thing budget airlines aren't exactly known for, it's great onboard Wi-Fi. In Frontier Airlines' case, it hasn't offered in-flight internet at all. That's about to change. Frontier Airlines has announced a partnership with SpaceX's Starlink to bring high-speed, low-latency internet across its fleet. Installations will begin in early 2027, making Frontier the first ultra-low-cost carrier in the United States to adopt Starlink's satellite-powered connectivity.

OpenAI’s first hardware product sounds more like a companion than a speaker

The AI company is reportedly building a mobile home device that understands context and proactively helps users.

For months, rumors have suggested that OpenAI's first hardware product could be a wearable AI device, or perhaps even the beginning of its long-term smartphone ambitions. As it turns out, the company's first gadget may be something far simpler, yet arguably far more ambitious. It will help control smart-home appliances, play media, answer questions, respond to messages, and tap into the range of capabilities offered by OpenAI's ChatGPT, according to people familiar with the matter.

OpenAI's first AI device could end up being a speaker, following plenty of hype that the company is actually working on a wearable AI device and might even launch a smartphone down the road. According to a Bloomberg report, the speaker will serve as a human-like AI companion that will integrate directly with the smart home ecosystem.
