Day in Android 3/2/11: Verizon deals, new LTE Android, Samsung tablet

If you’re thinking about getting an Android device and Verizon is your carrier of choice, now is the time to grab one. They’re knocking $100 off the price of their Android lineup, as you can see in the image above. That means, after signing a two-year contract, you can get the Droid X for just $50. This could be just some inventory clearing measures to make room for some incoming handsets, such as the Droid Bionic and the Thunderbolt. But it’s still a good deal. [Boy Genius Report] Last week Samsung sent out something of a cryptic invitation to an event it is holding at CTIA later this month. It hints strongly a new tablet. Well, we already have the 7-inch Galaxy Tab, and we heard about a 10.1 inch at Mobile World Congress. So what will this new one be? As Scott Webster at Android Guys notes, the numbers 78910 are printed on the invitation. Well, they have a 7-inch tab, and they have a 10-inch tab. Might be an 8.9-inch tab they have set? It sounds like as good a guess as any. We have a little less than three weeks until the event. [Android Guys] Quickies
