Yeah, price is obviously an issue!

If the Galaxy Tab costs around the same as the iPad, I hate to think what the PlayBook & Xoom would cost...

I expect that the mobile networks will offer subsidised tablets (as they do now with the iPad, & as they do in the US with the Tab)... but how many people really want *another* monthly contract?

I bloody don't, that's for sure. I already have a mobile phone contract, there's no way I'd take out a mobile data contract as well just to get a subsidised iPad/Tab/Xoom/PlayBook etc.
