It’s already confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy Tab will be launched in the Philippines before end of October (that’s next week!) and we finally got the retail price down to the dot — Php34,990 (thanks to our source).
The price isn’t surprising (though I thought it would be a bit higher by a couple grand) considering its baby brother, the Galaxy S, sells for Php32,000.

The Android tablet will be sold unlocked so you should be able to use a regular SIM from Globe, Smart or Sun Cellular. Just take note of the APN settings for each of the three.

So, anybody got spare change for a Galaxy Tab? Who’s buying?
too expensive for a its kind..
yung sa cherry wala pang 20k diba?
I can’t believe that people, who I assume have been reading Yuga’s blog for a long time now, can still make lame posts about price points. First, one compares how some products can be bought cheaper in other countries. Now some people have find it convenient that the one they own (or most likely salivate) have a bigger screen. I’m pretty sure the Galaxy Tab will find its own market despite comments by fantards and CEOs out there. This Christmas will be an exciting place to watch from the sidelines.
Price is really not an issue, i just need one, know any store selling the 32 gig version here in manila already?
Ps. i use an ipad as well, battery life is godly, however i neef the tab for flash content, very important for me. Wish i could get one of these now already.
34990 for 32gb or 16gb? considering how much the iPad Wifi+3G go for these days.. you decide
btw.. iPad’s battery is something to consider too, normal usage-approx 2 days.
Dude, know how much the 32gigs version cost? I need one badly asap, ive been looking around for one for weeks already.
the price is to much for its features..parang brand lang ang binabayaran :)
i already got the ipad so i think ill get the cherry superion better than this at 15k cheaper. It is really DOA this galaxy tab.
@ogago
yeah, those chinese knockoffs run around circles against OEM built gadgets.. too bad they don’t last long enough to enjoy it :)
this is nice. gonna buy one of this.
Like to buy one
35K! mahal naman sana tama si Esteban DOA toh (Death on Arrival) para magmura to
“The 7-inch tablets are tweeners, too big to compete with a smartphone and too small to compete with an iPad,†Mr. Jobs said. Lest there be any doubts about his confidence, he added: “The current crop of 7-inch tablets will be D.O.A.: dead on arrival.â€
DOA… DOA… DOA… DOA… DOA… DOA…
Abe could you post a picture of galaxy tab with the ipad, for comparison. Thanks!
good specs on the Samsung tablet.
which reminds me, why isnt iPad shown in the Apple PH stores? and how much is iPad being officially sold?
at least we’ve got some idea that the iPad is doing well in the market after that latest Apple earnings release. time will tell if Samsung or RIM will surpass the iPad sales.

Seems that it’s slow and not as responsive as the iPad.
Also, it’s more costly than the iPad considering the Galaxy Tab has a smaller screen.”
The IPhone 4 is more expensive than the IPad, even though the IPhone’s screen is a lot smaller than the IPad. Maybe because the IPhone 4 has Phone/3G functionality? What do you think? Galaxy Tab has Phone/3G functionality.
Moreover, unlike the IPad, the Galaxy Tab has Flash support on its browser which the IPad doesn’t have. If you don’t know what flash support can do for your web browsing, maybe you don’t need Flash. So, go for the IPad because of its larger screen.

good alternative to ipad……
sayang yung playbook.. im dissapointed…!!!!
hey sexy!
