It’s finally been made official, what is much hoped to be the first real competitor to the iPad has been given a release date as well as a price.
Verizon Wireless customers in the US will be able to get their hands on the 7 – inch Samsung Galaxy Tablet running Android 2.2 from November 11th for $599.99
Customers will then be able to pay for a monthly wireless plan starting at $20 per month for 1Gb of data on the go. It looks like there will be more plans than this , but information on those isn’t available as of yet.

All the 4 major US carriers are set to carrier the Samsung Galaxy Tab at some stage, but Verizon is the first out of the gates to tell us a release date as well as pricing, I can only imagine that other carriers will be fairly similar.
Verizon also had a few more details to share with us about the tablet device itself.
You’ve got a 1GHz Cortez A8 CPU running Android Froyo 2.2. You’ve then got a 3MP camera on the back and a 1.3MP camera on the front so video chatting should be easy. The device is 4.7 x 7.4 x .45 inches with a screen that’s 7-inches big, smaller than the iPad.
It’s interesting price wise, it sounds fairly expensive, but the Galaxy Tablet is Wi-Fi and 3G enabled and comes in $30 cheaper than the iPad 3G. However you can now get the iPad on Verizon as well for just a tiny bit extra, and you also have to carry around the MiFi hotspot with you everywhere.
What do you think about the Samsung Galaxy Tab? Is it the first tablet that is actually a real competitor to the iPad and will tempt even those of us that aren’t nerds?
