      however in a couple of months, this device might not worth that much.

      lol…

      i don't think you buy these things as an investment… :P

        lol your're on fire today jv.

      • megaloman on 15/04/2011 - 16:44

        That's true. What I mean is that for $299 we might be able to get something much better (Honeycomb) in several months. Samsung is one of the worst when it comes to Android update (after Sony ericsson). Unless of course that XDA guy manage to create a stable honeycomb and if you are into rooting and all.

        • stumo on 15/04/2011 - 16:55

          There's not much coming onstream in the 7" size any time soon. And you already know Samsung will charge an arm and a leg for their new version when it finally arrives.

          However, I agree with you if you are talking about tablets in general. There are many 10"ers arriving in the next few weeks and they will all be vying for your hard earned. Starting at around $450 shipped if you import say an Asus Transformer. Compared to that, this SGT should be around $200 - 250, and it almost is!

          Who would you consider good with updates. Htc no. Sony no. Motorola no. Apple yes. By my deduction I think we should buy appl. Pfft. Samsung updates everything. And does it well too. Ap settings and live wallpaper on 2.1 lol. Htc doesn't even have that

        • pharm86 on 16/04/2011 - 11:10

          The galaxy S is getting gingerbread in about a month. The galaxy tab will get the honeycomb update according to a press release by samsung a while ago.

      Good price, however in a couple of months, this device might not worth that much.

      as with all technology

      i.e.
      CPU
      Few months ago you had Nehalem
      Today you have Sandy Bridge
      Next few months you have Ivy Bridge

      • jv on 15/04/2011 - 16:41

        Ivy Bridge ???

        • scrimshaw on 15/04/2011 - 16:42
          +1

          Ivy Bridge is the 22nm die shrink of Sandy Bridge.

          It's due to be showcased in Taiwan in June this year, but the processors won't be sold until 2012.

    My today's experience - ordered Kogan and cancelled it after they changed spec. Went to JB and ordered GTab for $360. An hour later, this deal popped up and I think I might be one of the first lot to order it. Then went to JB for a refund. What a bloody Tab day! I'm glab that Telstra has come to the ozbargain party though.

        Mod: Please note that Kogan changed it's specs for this tablet from 1024x600 to 800x480. For refunds, please contact [email protected] or see comments below

      • jash on 15/04/2011 - 18:03

        They lowered the screen resolution and took out Bluetooth.

  • The Vat on 15/04/2011 - 16:42

    Lucky I screwed JB down to $320! Went to the Mrs, she was relaxed about it initially…until she discovered the apps market, whereupon the Tab was snatched away and taken with her upstairs. Operating very happily on TPG/Optus sim.

        That's right - they were out of stock and told me 1-2 weeks delivery time. Was so glad they didn't have stock after I saw the telstra deal. JB ripped me off $5 for Pilotwings Resort yesterday and it's pay back time.

      You have to wait 2 business day before you can pick it up. I suppose they send it to the store instead of sending it to your address.

      It's just a fairly ordinary 3 megapixel camera with a LED flash (not dual or xenon)

      Don't expect it to take night pictures or have high sensitivity in dim lighting.
      Photo quality isn't exactly the Tab's strength.
