Samsung, it seems, can release a slew of newsmartphones and tablets, but is having difficultly releasing accessories for their current flagship smartphone, the Galaxy Nexus. At this point in time, it's becoming somewhat comical. The Nexus was jointly announced by Samsung and Google in November 2011, and was the first device to run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The accessories, however, have yet to arrive. The Car Dock, Desk Stand, and Battery Charging Stand have been repeatedly delayed. According to Expansys' suppliers, inventory should have started shipping by the end of February. It's now the beginning of March. Pocketnow reached out to Expansys and received the following short response: "Hello, we expecting it to come out mid- end March, sorry for the delay. (sic)" It should be noted that Expansys is still taking pre-orders on the accessories, but will not charge credit cards until the orders ship -- which we hope will be between March 15th and March 31st.

In just a few weeks, we're expecting Nokia to launch the first-ever LTE Windows Phone handset on AT&T's network with its Lumia 900. Nothing's set in stone, but we've seen March 18 fielded as one potential release date. With the phone's release creeping on up, Nokia's getting a few formalities out of the way, like seeing to it that the 900 gets its FCCcertification. This afternoon the agency published the 900's documents, including a manual and an assortment of images. As a smartphone destined for AT&T's new LTE network, it's no surprise that we see the Lumia 900's documentation attest to LTE operation on the 1700MHz and 700MHz bands, as used by the carrier; of course, there's also support for AT&T's 3G frequencies. More interesting is the note that the 900 is capable HSPA+ on 1700MHz, in theory opening the door for operation on T-Mobile in the States. With the 900's rumored release date starting to close-in, we'll hopefully soon get confirmation on the full launch details, including the potential for a very low on-contract price.

Back during the CES, we learned that Toshiba was planning to bring its 10.1-inch AT200 tablet to the United States as the Excite 10. While we had pricing information for the tablet, set to be available as a $530 16GB model or a $600 32GB version, we didn't hear any stabs at a US launch date more precise than sometime around the middle of this quarter. Today, Toshiba announces the tablet's availability as well as gives its name a slight adjustment. Instead of the Excite 10, the manufacturer will now release the tablet in the States as the Excite 10 LE. Toshiba didn't give a reason for the name change, or explain if this really is some kind of limited edition, or if LE means anything at all. From the specs the company's provided, it still sounds like the very same tablet we've been expecting, so this looks like a change in name only, rather than a hardware variation. As for when the Excite 10 LE will arrive, Toshiba's decided on March 6 for a launch date. With Apple just having confirmed March 7 for what will likely be its iPad 3 announcement, there's definitely a bit of hubris involved in Toshiba releasing its own tablet just one day earlier.

It's well-nigh impossible to look at Sony's Tablet Pwithout conjuring up some memories of Kyocera's Echo from last year. After all, both designs employ dual touchscreens in a convertible layout that lets you collapse the device while carrying it. Kyocera's attempt never caught-on in a big way, so we're anxious to see if Sony has what it takes to succeed where others have failed. We'll be getting our chance quite soon, with Sony announcing thatthe Tablet P is set to land on AT&T this Sunday, March 3. Even when folded closed, there's no denying that the Tablet P is bit of a beast. Besides the large bezels surrounding each screen, the displays themselves are Note-level 5.5-inchers. All things considered, this guy probably won't be slipping into your pants pocket. That could be a problem, as needing a larger place to carry around the Tablet P seems to defeat the point of its folding construction. The Tablet P is powered by a 1GHz Tegra 2, has a five megapixel main camera with VGA front-facer, and ships with Honeycomb 3.2 (an Ice Cream Sandwich update will come later). It made its international debut a few months back, with sales starting last November. AT&T will sell the tablet for $400 on-contract, or $550 free-and-clear.
