Verizon Samsung Galaxy Tab Price Announced
The long wait for the American pricing on Samsung's 7-inch Galaxy Tab Android tablet is now over. Samsung and Verizon have announced that it will cost $600 out of the door with no contract. Verizon 3G network data plans can be added on a month-to-month basis starting at $20 per month for 1GB of data.
Verizon will begin selling the Galaxy Tab starting November 11 – the company has a Galaxy Tab website up and running as well. It may come as a surprise that the tablet is not being subsidized by Verizon, but it's actually a smart move since it manages to come in at around $30 cheaper than Apple's 3G-enabled iPad (which starts at $629).
Remember, Verizon stores will also sell iPads bundled with 3G MiFi routers starting October 28, so customers will have at least a couple of tablet options.
Also keep in mind that the Galaxy Tab will be sold by all four major U.S. wireless carriers. It will be interesting to see if the pricing remains consistent across one of the other operators.
