Similarities with Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5
The new tab is based on Samsung Galaxy S 10.5. There is nothing to wonder how this happened. The company behind the development of extremely highly secure tab by Samsung is Secusmart and this very Secusmart was acquired by Blackberry last year.

The new device is priced at 2250 Euro or $2380. It will hit the market very soon. Quelle shared his expectation that over 10000 units will be shipped to Germany alone annually.
