VZ Galaxy Tab

[pwnst*r]

The Verizon Samsung Galaxy Tab (watch our hands-on here) apparently is going to sell unsubsidized for $599, and it'll be available Nov. 11. A data plan will run you $20 for 1GB. And with all that jing you get a 7-inch Android 2.2 tablet with a 1 GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor and all the bells and whistles. Preloaded apps include Verizon's VCAST suite, Slacker Radio, Kindle, Blockbuster and Let's Golf.

7", $600? Lol, so much for being an iPad competitor at that price point.

I seriously can't imagine what they're thinking in doing this.

Samsung is notorious for being a bit pricey anyway, but they're certainly no Apple.

Hello

Is it possible to get rid of Android by installing Ubuntu on the Tab?

Cheers
