The new Samsung Tablet for Verizon emerges

Alright, so Apple has their first real tablet competitor after SEVEN months of the iPad was released.  It's an Android tablet called the Samsung Galaxy Tab.  It's $600.  The iPad with 3G is $620.  The Samsung's a 7 inch screen.  The iPad a 9.7 inch screen.  Not exactly the kind of competition I was hoping for.  Especially since the Wifi-only version of the iPad (without 3G) is only $499 now, I do not see this new Galaxy Tab as causing much of a price point problem for Apple.

One interesting thing though.  In Europe, this Galaxy Tab is used as a phone.  The same tablet.  Does that mean the US model has the phone feature disabled?  Does that mean some clever 16-year old with too much time on his hands will figure out how to enable it for us a week after it's out?  If that happens (and I didn't mention the Galaxy Tab has a front and back-facing camera for photos and video calls), things could get interesting.
