Samsung Galaxy Tab

At $599 I still would not buy this season's winner for tablet mobile computing with Bluetooth cell phone. For WiFi use only, you must take out a $20 mobile plan for the first month and then just cancel the plan. This list of it's parts and their cost is very interesting. The apple iPad parts work out to $260.
I would buy this gadget if it was a cheaper and had a few more features. For example an upgrade to 5 MP camera with flash (not an LED), a WiMax radio (not just 3G or 4G), Android 3.0 and a price under $399 (CAD) could be available by mid-summer (based loosely on Moore's law). Now I'm watching for Apple's entry sometime in March. This is really heating up. Steve
