So, it looks like the tablet market is somehow normalizing with Apple slashing the price of the original iPad down to Php19,990 and now Samsung is following suit and cutting down the Galaxy Tab’s suggested retail price to Php21,990.
The move does not come as a surprise — first, Apple’s 1st generation iPad has definitely become a great buy to a lot of people looking to get their first tablet and at under Php20k, it scores high on the buyer’s list — Samsung needs to be competitive in their price point as well; second, Samsung will definitely be launching their next generation tablets locally — the ones with dual-core processors. That means the Galaxy Tab P1000 is nearing its EOL (end-of-life) and the inventories need to be sold off as fast as possible. Lastly, other competitors like Asus are launching their tablets as well which could disrupt the attention of a lot of new tablet buyers.
The new Php21,990 suggested retail price isn’t completely implemented yet as Samsung needs to coordinate with all retailers and partners (like Globe and Smart) to make sure the price drop won’t disappoint consumers who just bought one at a much higher price and the retailers don’t lose any profits in the process.

To people who think of buying a Tablet Buy one now Samsung Galaxy Tab offer is a Great deal in Pampanga Some store selling SGT for 20,000 with free Samsung Bluetooth headset. Still a BIG deal for buyers and for those who think waiting for Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1 Good for you and keep saving money cause if you will purchase 8.9 WiFi Version this summer might be April or May i my be guessing but the price will go to 30,000 North and the 10.1 WiFi Version 35,000 North this is only my wild guess so please dont comment on this part. and getting a SGT for 20,000 with the ability to use Call Text and Surf. i wonder when will the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1 will release 3G+WiFi Version and How much more? 50k North? haha ill just buy one of SGT and Wait till December i think Galaxy Tab then will have a Update for 2.3 or 3.0 and if not i’m sure that 8.9 and 10.1 will be so low and i can try it too. :D waiting is not too bad.
BTW for Those who can tell me where i can buy a Car mount that was Design by Samsung the Original one. you can see it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl2Ktb9Skac&feature=player_embedded please do reply here.

Of all the hype.
paulpacs says:
bought my Galaxy Tab in cebu for 20,500, its worth it. XDA-devs are strongly working for the Gingerbread (2.3)(running with bugs) and Honeycomb (3.0)(booting already) ports to this tablet, so i know this tablet can be upgraded. although there will be new versions of the tab at 8.9 and 10.1 inches, they are WIFI ONLY versions. im having fun with my TAB using it also as a GPS tracker with maps downloaded via 3G. although always ensure you’ve got UNLIMITED INTERNET access with this so you can enjoy ALL FEATURES wherever you are. Smart Prepaid offers 1 Day Unli Internet at 50, 1 week at 300 and 1 month at 1200.
the only downside to “ignorant” people looking at my Tab is, oh is that a celphone?…so you put that to your head when making calls?….jealous people…DUH Theres bluetooth headset FYI.

Buti naman na realize nila na mag dadalawang isip ang bibili ng Tab dun sa previous price.
jdcrose_217 says:
I’m planning to buy this one, but I think I’ll have to wait for the release of Galaxy Tab II.
I know yuga has released a blog regarding this and I’m waiting for it to be released on the market.

Just got home.was going to buy tablet today and i saw ipad2 outrageos price of 42k for 16g so i decided to buy ipad1 but saw at samsung store galaxy tab on sale at 20,990 with free samsung bluetooth worth 2k. Tab will just cost 19k you can beat with the price so i end up buying the tab its amazing. You got smart phone and tablet rolled into one. Glad tha i didnot buy the tab last december for 33 k.

Hintay ako ASUS Tablet. Kailan ba talaga, kuya? At ako ay bibili?
raymond says:
Sobrang sulit na bumili nitong Galaxy Tab kesa sa iPad. Mas mura na siya sa Galaxy S. Aside from the tablet form factor, this is also a smartphone. Yung iPad at yung mga bagong lalabas na Honeycomb tablets ay walang call and text capabilities.
whatif says:
eto na kaya gawin kong phone… kwela nga lang pag lalagay ko sa tenga ko
“koya bat anlaki ng cellphone mo?” :)
wreek888 says:
i rather buy 16g ipad better than this and much cheaper,and IOS 4.3 of ipad1 is like buying a new model. if they bring it down to 19k, i might reconsider
Benchmark33 says:
I am not advertising anything yet I am looking for lower priced Ipad 1…and saw it in Kimstore, priced at 18,500 siguro lowest sila…will check out CMK reagrding sa Tab…wala na kasi sa CMK yung 16Gig Ipad…

Carlos Jhunie says:
I got my GT P1000 last month. Then came the wifi only version of it. And now, what I bought costs only PhP 22k! Oh!
roiji says:
i do hope when they launch the Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1 it will be competitive with the iPad prices! or better yet iPad 2 WiFi price == Galaxy Tab 8.9/10.1 3G prices.
Then I’ll definitely get a Galaxy Tab even though it takes forever for them to update the OS.
markem says:
i want to buy my first tablet na.. hehe sana yung magbaba na din price yung mga 3Gs
John Ray Ebora says:
wow! so mga 16-18k pag wifi lang? buti na lang bumaba, i’ll definitely buy this instead of archos 70 :)
Marilou B. Sawit says:
Hi! Is Apple’s 1st generation iPad under 20k wifi?
Ethan Tremblay says:
@marilou: technically yes, but if you’ll really look at it, it’s just a 100 peso price below 20k so it’s just 19 900php.
Ethan Tremblay says:
Ow I mean 10 pesos, its just 19 990 php.
