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?
wla namang masaydong pinagkaiba yung tab sa superion
cherry is much more superion
haha!
my android tablet from china can compete with that.
running on custom firmware, responsiveness is the same, and i also got it for like less than 1/3 the price plus at least 6 hours battery and 6mos warranty. on aesthetics, its not that bad as long as its on leather case and i wont mind using it beside an ipad or that thing. and btw, there are also china tablets running on cortex a8.
Actually 5k cheaper than I expected. Will choose carefully between this and the Cherry Superion before I fork over the cash. This is one of the few times I am so glad to be childless and celebrate the fact I come from a small family. MORE BUDGET FOR ME!!!
DOA? thats odd considering the only DOA I got was an ipod nano.

7 ins tablets will be DOA ( dead-on-arrival ) – Steve jobs.:P
Jobs said no future for 7″ tablet
That’s a pass. Too much for P35k.
Nice but pricey. However, if the battery life is really good, then it would be a good buy for those who could afford.
I just wish they made a wifi-version too, since I don’t want the hugeass phone part. And if I wanted internet where there is no Wifi available, I could simply tether it to my Android phone when needed. That would have cost less.
Will it be available in the local computer stores or from Globe or Smart?
nahilo ako sa video mo sir yuga haha so how’s the battery performance?
That much huh? Definitely a no for a poor sap like me. I shouldn’t have spent on food at all these past three months haha.
Mahal!
mahal saka di pa optimize ang android 2.x sa tablet.
ang labas nyan oversize phone.
I am definitely interested. Sana lang may matirang funds and makakuha ng approval kay Chief Financial Officer. hehehe.
ciao!
This is great news. It’s priced better than the iPad so that’s really good for competition. Not getting one yet though. Will wait for the next iterations of Android or for this Tab to drop in price, whichever comes first. :D
Will anyone sponsor one of those to me? Hahaha..
hey! is this also god for sms?? and regular calls?? just like a normal phone???
an alternative for the ipad! how is the battery doing?
Wow, nice!!!
