Samsung Galaxy Tab – an alternative to the Apple iPad

Posted on | September 9, 2010 | 5 Comments

If you’re saving your bucks for an Apple iPad, then you might want to take a closer look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab. It’s Samsung’s answer to the much talked about Apple iPad. The Samsung device will run Android 2.2, which is a plus and will then obviously have access to the popular Android Market and all the market’s apps.

    The Samsung Galaxy Tab looks great. If the price is good, I really wouldn’t mind getting this alternative to the Apple iPad. Very nice indeed!

    Timzat, haven’t heard anything officially yet. The Samsung Galaxy Tab has been rolling out in the US and Europe in the last couple of months, so hold thumbs!

    Check out Incredible Connection, you can pre-order the Samsung Galaxy Tab there. Looks like it’ll sell for around R8,000.
