Guess what, one the device offered in Celcom Year End sales is Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet, making it second carrier after Maxis to offer the tablet. And unlike Maxis which subsidized the tablet price only based on the contract period, the package offered by Celcom is vary, based on contract period and monthly commitment. Price begin from Rm1368 for 18 months contract with Rm250 monthly commitment, which is the lowest you can get.
If you prefer low monthly commitment from RM78 permonth, Galaxy Tab is priced at RM1828 for 12 months contract. It is actually slightly cheaper than Maxis package which priced at RM1849 for the same contract period (12 months) with Rm108 (voice + data) monthly commitment.
That’s why competition is good for consumer.

It looks like Samsung Galaxy Tab has finally positioned itself as the first true iPad rival, with quite impressive sales figure. Sales of Galaxy Tab worldwide has reached 1 millions unit since it’s released. The word comes from Samsung itself, to confirm the rumors that surface earlier on, although no further detail revealed just yet. Though the 1 millions sales milestone is accomplished not in the pace of iPad which reach that feat in a record 28 days, Samsung can still proud of the record that none of iPad rival wannabe achieve so far.
There are still more rooms for improvement. Samsung can close the gap if they could come out with different flavor of Samsung Galaxy Tab. It’s chief rival, iPad has 6 variance which difference by storage capacity and wifi-only or wifi-3G model. Samsung Galaxy Tab on the other hand, has only 2 model difference only by storage capacity, when they should come out with Wifi only model. The problem with this is, Samsung Galaxy Tab has no direct model to compete with WiFi-only iPad that sold cheaper than Galaxy Tab 16GB model.
Take this for instance, the lowest retail price of Samsung Galaxy Tab is RM2699, while the newly release iPad 16GB wifi only model is competitively priced at RM1549. Though Samsung Galaxy Tab has more features than iPad, but in the market that sensitive to price different, Apple iPad is the obvious winner here. So think again Samsung!

One of the most anticipated gadget this year finally hit our shores beginning last week, via Maxis. The price though is little bit steep at RM2699 without contract, or RM1749 or RM1849 for 12 months and 24 months contract respectively. The contract is varies from RM108 and onward for 500MB worth of data plus voice plan, which I feel is unnecessary as tablet is used mostly for non-voice usage.
Samsung Galaxy Tab is 7 inch tablet running on Android 2.2. It comes with Wifi and 3G connectivity and using normal sim card, unlike iPad that used micro sim. Powering it is 1Ghz processor with 16GB storage to store your data. Samsung Galaxy Tab is regarded by many tech blog as true competitor to iPad, but as it is pricing closed to iPad which run on IOS that specifically tailored for tablet sized screen, iPad still has the edge over Samsung Galaxy Tab, at least for now.

After lackluster sales with it’s other smartphone, Samsung Galaxy S proven to be huge success for Samsung. It reported that 1 millions of Samsung Galaxy S has been sold in the US alone in 45 days. Even before the US release, 1 millions unit of Samsung Galaxy S has been sold worldwide in 19 days . The combined sales is over 2 millions unit until today, a quite an achievement for the Samsung’s first truly high end Android smartphone. Samsung target sales of 10 millions unit of Samsung Galaxy line up worlwide.
Samsung Salaxy S receipt of success can be contributed mainly to it’s external looks; the super thin design and lightweight casing with super AMOLED display. The Android factor has it’s fare share as well with the promised Android 2.2 software update coming to the smartphone pretty soon. Samsung Galaxy S reflect how carefully designed Android smartphone could be a hit as well.
