Possible bang makadetect yan ng Portable HD such as Samsung G2 Portable? un lang nmn importante pra sa extra storage eh.

I’ll buy that for sure pag pwede sya sa samsung G2 ko. it would be like a mini pc for media and browsing on the go.

Sed · 16 years ago

tingin ko between 35k+ – 50k price nyan satin kasi yung samsung Wave nila 20k.Yung Galaxy S phone naman 30+ with contract. Mahal T.T

limuelG · 16 years ago

like it talaga!!!!

mr.bogus · 16 years ago

archos 9, n900, and samsung galaxy tab is my best choice as of now!!!!

jhunie · 16 years ago

^how i wish nasa range nga na yan..if not papabili na alng ako abroad..deym really want one.

Gwapito · 16 years ago

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

Arvee · 16 years ago

@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.

Ryan Ang · 16 years ago

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.

petken · 16 years ago

Mas mahal talaga ang prices sa Europe… Mas mura yan pag nasa US na…

Ryan Ang · 16 years ago

well I was hoping this would be inexpensive oh boy was I wrong :P

and that’s Euros a not USD

I can’t wait to see this gadget here in the Philippines..

Yette · 16 years ago

Can’t wait for this one. I love the android OS & I hope it wont be as pricy as the iPad.

pabs · 16 years ago

This is it. I’ll get one.

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

rporter · 16 years ago

@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.

chl · 16 years ago

It has a camera! How true is it SRP US$300?

xxholicxx · 16 years ago

samsung labas lang ng labas ng products, nangagaya lang

char · 16 years ago

wow!!i want one!!sana hindi mahal..

nexusboy · 16 years ago

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*

Herce · 16 years ago

I like it. Does it have USB host? If so I am getting one.

skagen · 16 years ago

nakow may bagong pagpipilian nanaman! good job on samsung side for releasing their own tablet.

manong · 16 years ago

baka mabasa ni steve jobs ung comment ko tungkol kay mura at mahal ksama n c dagul.. next year ilabas na nya ung 3g version ng ipod nano.. ang iPhone uNano!

manong · 16 years ago

meron na akong recommendation para kay bonel balingit, ej feihl, asi taulava ska marlou aquino!

next time kaya meron pra kina mura at mahal?

prang sapatos na ah… can’t wait marinig sa smartphone vendor “kuya, anong size po?”

H · 16 years ago

Interesting. Im frustrated with my iphone’s worthless bluetooth and lots of limitations(u know). This might be a great alternative to the ipad. Looks pretty too.

hmmm ganda, pwede kaya magtext jan?

arnold · 16 years ago

Price could be in the range – $800 to $1000.

Ryan Ang · 16 years ago

does this have the same pixel density as the Sony Vaio P series? parang masakit sa mata.. This I would have to check out first before giving my verdict hehe

Spec wise I would say it’s a great tablet (finally hindi na -pad yung pangalan)

MarcoRafael · 16 years ago

nero · 16 years ago

this is a must. :)

froyo · 16 years ago

Wow that will fit my cargo pants pocket hehe, borrowed this from an article I read earlier, The trade-off of tablet is obvious. You win because you can show a bigger picture, which is important, and you lose because it just wonâ€™t fit in many pockets
