The price of the first brand-name Android tablet is anyone's guess. Engadget heard that it would cost over $1000 without a plan. Ouch!
The Wall St. Journal yesterday said the Samsung Galaxy Tab would be $200-$400 subsidized by a carrier in the US. If I had to guess I'd bet we'll see it at Galaxy S prices plus $100.
Samsung recently added a new fellow in Samsung Galaxy line, the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Samsung Galaxy Tab is a 7 inch tablet, and it’s running on Android 2.2 and a lot of other features. Samsung didn’t gave any words on the pricing of the tablet yet, but Samsung is hinting that the Galaxy Tab will cost between $200 and $300 on contract (no words on which carrier is picking the Galaxy Tab in USA, but according to rumors, Verizon is most likely picking the Galaxy Tab).
How much will Samsung's Galaxy Tab tablet (which I tried at IFA last week) cost? (Samsung plans to sell the tablet exclusively through carriers, so most or all of the folks who buy one will presumably get a subsidized price.)
Samsung 3G Galaxy Tab for an even lower unsubsidized price.
(The Korea Times quotes a Samsung executive as saying that the phone will sell for slightly more than a Galaxy S smartphone. I don't know how much it costs Samsung to manufacture a Tab, but given the price of smartphones and the price of iTabs, $350 or so feels like a reasonable two-year-contract price to me.
