Tab 4G about to launch in Canada but new accusation claims Samsung tablets aren't selling at all

Major wireless carriers Rogers and Telus both looked poised to begin selling the 4G edition of Samsung's Tab device next week.

It's been confirmed that Telus will launch the tablet next Thursday, the 8th. Meanwhile, Rogers doesn't have a set date, but it looks like it will cost $599 there.

The Samsung gadget will run Google's latest Android OS, 3.1 (AKA Honeycomb). The software will be powered by a dual-core processor and there will be a camera on the front and the back.

However, an executive ar Lenovo—a competing Android tablet maker—has come forth claiming that Samsung sold just 2% of the tablets it shipped last year.

Quoth The Guardian:

An executive at Android tablet maker Lenovo claims that Samsung sold only 20,000 of the 1m tablets that it shipped last year as it tried to "buy share" from market leader Apple.

Samsung said at the end of 2010 that it had shipped 1m of its 7-inch Galaxy devices, which were seen as the first real Android competitors to Apple's iPad. However, according to Barrow, Samsung only sold 20,000 of the tablets. 

Samsung has never given details of the actual sales it has made in the tablet market. In an earnings call at the end of January, Samsung executives admitted that the company had shipped far more tablets than had actually been sold.

Perhaps Telus and Rogers shouldn't bother stocking the device.
