    According to Yahoo! It’s 300$, probably around 18k to 20k pesos in the Philippines.

    @Ryan Ang – Agree! Wala masyadong difference especially when we are talking about prices in the Euro currency vs. US Dollar currency. About $20-50 lang ang minura (sounded wrong haha) sa US ng mobile phones. And about $80 sa laptops.

    Basta mas mura sa iPad, this is definitely a good buy considering its size factor, specs and of course, the Flash support.

    I doubt this would kill the iPad (sa dami ba naman ng fanboys, pero malay natin) but I’m pretty sure the Galaxy Tab can go head to head in terms of features, sales and customer satisfaction with the iPad.

    pricing scheme is usually the same amount but different currency. but we’ll see how Samsung will pit this against the pricing of the iPad, maybe when they pair this with a carrier then the subsidized price would make it more inviting.

    there are rumors of the tab pairing with verizon.

    nice! pero pano kaya ang app support nito? yung sa apple app store kasi daming choices. apps/softwares makes a big difference imo

    If they can come up with a better and more affordable product, why not?

    @zurimoto:

    What’s your bases on this?

    “.. Also android is not so good esp. If you are downloading too many apps. It slower the process..”

    I’m an Android user and I never experience this.

    ================================================

    I’m confuse whether to but a new laptop or this…

    I love Android. Hope Samsung will support an update for this when Gingerbread 3.0 is officially out.

    wow that looks really nice. the apps won’t be that bad, considering its got Android’s Marketplace!

    i personally do not require a tablet for now, quite satisfied with my Nexus One. i probably might need a bigger screen next year, and the worthy phone replacement for me is DELL THUNDER! so willing to wait in its release rumored to be early next year!

    by the way, good “Job” Samsung! the Galaxy Tab turned out so much better than I expected. *applause*
