Polish network operators do not necessarily go along with the Tablet PC boom. Last thursday Orange has introduced two new Android-based tablet PCs into their offer:
- HTC Flyer
- Motorola XOOM
Orange already had two slates in their offer: Samsung Galaxy Tab and Orange Tablet (rebranded Huawei S7 device). Pricing looks quite good, compared to no contract option, so this might shake polish Tablet PC market a little bit (and actually make it grow):
HTC Flyer and Motorola Xoom pricing with a 24 month Orange Free contract is as follows:
- Orange Free 99,90: 1799 PLN
- Orange Free 129,90: 1479 PLN
- Orange Free 159,90: 978,99 PLN
- Orange Free 189,90: 839 PLN

EDIT: Wojciech Jabczyński, spokeperson for TP and Orange Poland, has confirmed on his blog, that two more tablet PCs will be introduced in Orange: Dell Streak 7 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Curious thing is how Samsung goes around the ruling from a german court, stating that Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 cannot be sold in European Union. It seems however, that this ruling does not apply to Poland, and the new Samsung slate will be available soon.
