AT&T has announced plans to offer the Galaxy View with its mobile service. The 18.4-inch tablet is geared toward streaming video and is now the largest Android mobile device on the market.

"The Samsung Galaxy View is the best parts of a TV and tablet, designed with entertainment as its primary focus," said Jeff Bradley, senior vice president, Device Marketing and Developer Services, AT&T Mobility.

A 2.1 MP front camera and high quality stereo speakers are integrated as well. Finally, the device's 5700mAh battery is rated for up to eight hours of video playback.
