Now that you have had a good few hours to gather your thoughts on the official price and launch date for the Samsung Galaxy Tab on Verizon, we want to know what you’re planning to do. Is $600 reasonable for you, or do you think it’s slightly too much.
We think that the general consensus is that the price is fair, considering the extras features you’ll get on the Galaxy Tab compared to the Apple iPad.
As we told you earlier, it means that the Galaxy Tab will launch on Verizon, just $30 cheaper than the 16GB 3G iPad, but don’t forget that Verizon will also be stocking the iPad as well, so customers really have a decision to make.
The deciding factor may come down to whether you’d prefer a camera on your tablet or not, as we all know that the Tab supports front and back cameras, whereas the iPad has none. Then it’s a straight up choice between Android and iOS, which you won’t need us to go into detail too much.

First time I've been excited… Read more »
Why pay $600 for this when 1) Samsung has already stated it will not be able to run Android 3 and 2) Android 3 tablets will be available first or second quarter of 2011 since several manufacturers have already sent testing units into Google.
I guess it would depend on what kind of commitment you have to make… is data plan optional like the iPad's or is it 2-year contract and month to month bill.
