Samsung Galaxy Tab price may start where iPad stops
Sep 5th
Samsung’s Galaxy Tab could have an unsubsidized price high enough that it would be more expensive than most any Apple model, based on early if unconfirmed claims. The French at Journal du Geek were quoted a price of 699 euros with tax for the 16GB version, or $ 895. At this level, it would cost as much as a 32GB, 3G iPad does despite the smaller screen.
