Samsung Galaxy Camera available on AT&T Nov. 16

AT&T announced Monday that the Samsung Galaxy Camera is hitting store shelves on Nov. 16.

The tablet-camera hybrid, of sorts, will be available through AT&T for about $500, with or without a data plan.

The Samsung Galaxy Camera is essentially a 16 megapixel point-and-shoot camera that runs Google's mobile operating system Android Jelly Bean. Users can use the camera like a mini tablet, emailing or posting photos straight to social networks.

The device features a 21x optical zoom lens, a quad core 1.4 gigahertz processor and 4.8-inch HD LCD screen.

AT&T also announced that for a limited time, customers can receive $100 a second Samsung device with purchase.

Data plans for the Samsung Galaxy Camera are as follows:

  • AT&T Mobile Share: $10 to share between 1 GB and 20GB
  • AT&T DataConnect 250MB: $15 for 250MB
  • AT&T DataConnect 3GB: $30 for 3GB
  • AT&T DataConnect 5GB: $50 for 5GB
