3 Strikes Against the Samsung Galaxy Tab

With all the excitement about Samsung’s first real challenger to the IPad, there are 3 things that have me worried about this tablet. And you could probably say this about other tablets as well. But in short, I’ll keep it brief.

Samsung Galaxy Tab to cost between $200 - $400?

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab may be bigger and badder than most Android devices, but due to this, common sense should dictate a noticeable price increase. While early leaked prices where simply through the roof, we’ve heard that it may cost far less than you think when it hits the US. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal a Samsung executive claimed that the illustrious tablet could run between $200 and $300 depending on carrier subsidies.

Samsung's Galaxy Tab Officially Announced

The latest contender to Apple’s IPad was announced today, the Samsung Galaxy Tab. We finally have full specs, courtesy of Engdaget but really, we don’t know much else about the product. But some information is glaringly missing. Like for instance, which carrier is this going to be on? Or my favorite, about how much is this going to cost me so I can see how much top ramen I will be eating to pay for it?

I can’t wait to see when this beast will be unleashed upon the world. The only thing that concerns me is that video calling. I so hope this isn’t locked to a specific carrier because that would dry up my wet dream of having one of these.
