Samsung Galaxy Tab Active now up for pre-order

Companies in a number of vertical industries provided feedback for the development of the product, consistent with Samsung’s people inspired innovation. “This device represents Samsung’s commitment to develop a customer-centric model that can be used for vertical integration across all key industries,” said Tod Pike, senior vice president at Samsung’s Enterprise Business Division. “Samsung continues to develop new products with feedback from professionals to change the way people think about technology for business.” 

Samsung engaged in a series of advisory group workshops with Fortune 500 companies in order to learn what business leaders wanted from a mobile device. Companies spanning across 12 different industries were represented including retail, logistics and transportation businesses. Samsung combined the results from the workshops with its own market insight for the creation of the Galaxy Tab Active.
