Sharp's 5.5" and 10.8" Galapagos Android Tablets: due July 25?

Japanese consumer electronics company Sharp is expected to debut its Android tablets soon in the U.S. market, but has not announced their availability yet. However, according to an announcement from security software company McAfee on Thursday, they will be available starting on July 25.

Today, McAfee announced it has partnered with Sharp to offer McAfee VirusScan Mobile for Android on both of the Galapagos tablets, which it says will come in 5.5" and 10.8" screen sizes. Sharp first announced these tablets and last September, but put them in the e-reader category. McAfee on Thursday instead called them "Media Tablets."

The other Galapagos tablet, expected in the 7" screen size, came up for FCC review during the fourth of July holiday week, but McAfee didn't mention that particular model in its announcement today.
