This might have interested me six months ago… but two things have happened since then:

1. Verizon including Wi-Fi hotspot tethering with their Share Everything plans.
2. The Nexus 10

I had an LTE Motorola Xoom for a while and I loved the tablet. Having a 4G connection anywhere was awesome. But now that tethering is included in my phone plan, I have absolutely no incentive to buy a cellular-equipped tablet.

Further, let’s face it… the Note 10.1 is yesterday’s news. This tablet is coming out six months after the Wi-Fi model did. Six months is an eternity in this market. Too little, too late.
