Just visited SM City Annex, March 18, 2011:
The Samsung Galaxy tablet is now only P21,500 pesos far below the original 34,995 pesos, and the 27,000 pesos price quoted at SM Clark. Maybe this will help Samsung get a foothold in the Philippines than Apple for tablet devices as it offers much!

Samsung gives the iPad stiff competition with a 10.1inch tablet!
I just read from Gizmag has released new versions of the Galaxy phone and Galaxy tablet!
Here is a photo of the upsized 10.1 in tablet.

News of Hacking the Galaxy tablet.
From Froyo to Gingerbread?
Click on PCWorld.Ubuntu runs in Galaxy Tablet.
More of a stunt since Ubuntu is not designed well for tablets yet.gottabemobile.com
Voice calling on the Galaxy Tab
Isnt the Galaxy tablet also a phone? talkandroid. Maybe some distributors do this on purpose to add more features at a higher price?Saturday, February 5, 2011
Unbelievable Price for Tablet: 16,500 pesos??!
Click on Sulit.com. Be careful as the pic shows it is from dhgate, a Chinese wholesaler. but the ad is enticing to say the least!
Amazon current best price for the Samsung Galaxy is US 629.99$ with a contract from T-Mobile. That tranlates using 44 pesos per dollar to 27,719.56 PHP.
I was canvassing the device in Mega recently and the average price was around 29,000PHP. My students claim that they saw the Galaxy tablet being sold for 25K Pesos in SM at San Fernando.
Compare with the original 34,995 PHP prices last December 2010. Stores will tack on extra interest payments for those wishing to pay monthly installments using credit cards!
Sugggestion: Wait in March-April. Apple will introduce a new model iPad in March. No news about the availability of Motorola's Xoom tablet in the Philippines.

Welcome to my newest Blog, birthed January 24, 2011
I already have an ipad, so why should I buy a Samsung Galaxy tablet?
Firstly I am an aspiring technology blog writer and I appreciate that I really
must have my hands on the things I write.
The Samsung Galaxy tablet sounds so good to be true and fortunately it is really true!
Unlike the iPad, the galaxy tablet has two cameras, front and back!, has wifi and is a
phone, though it may look a little funny to hold a big phone to your ears!

Incredibly, it is a wonder that there is no tablet category in samsung's homepage at
http://www.samsung.com! and entering tablet, galaxy tablet give us something about green memory products and the Galaxy S phone, which we are not interested since we have a capable cheap Nokia C3 already.
Here is a spec list of the Samsung tablet (from an Ayos Dito seller).
The features alone might impress the iPad Owner, but NOT! iPad owners are SNOBS :)
But of course the real test would be is Are you productive today?
