T-Mobile USA Galaxy Tab Pricing Rumored at $650, $400 Under Contract

We’re beginning to see leaked pricing for the Galaxy Tab in different parts of the world, but neither Samsung–the Galaxy Tab’s maker–nor its retail launch carriers have come forward with pricing information. The latest leak presumably comes from T-Mobile USA, and if the leaked presentation slide is to be believed, T-Mobile USA will be offering the Android-based 7-inch tablet for $650 sans contract and $400 with a 2-year service agreement. Unfortunately though, the non-subsidized price is in excess of the rival iOS iPad from Apple.

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.

Samsung: Samsung is a South-Korean conglomerate which counts many subsidiaries like Samsung Electronics, which you probably know very well, but also Samsung Heavy Industries which builds ships, or Samsung Life Insurance, Samsung Securities and many more. Samsung is responsible for an amazing 20% of South Korea's exports. In the consumer electronics world, Samsung has gone from being a company with a reputation for cheap products to becoming one of the most respected companies in the world.
