\"Galaxy<\/a> The wait for the 7-inch Galaxy Tab Android tablet will soon come to an end \u2013 at least for Verizon Wireless fans.  Verizon will launch the tablet on Thursday, November 11, for $599.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy Tab will run Android 2.2 \u201cFroyo\u201d and include Wi-Fi and EV-DO Rev A 3G mobile broadband for always-on connectivity. Data plans will start at $20 for 1GB of usage, but just like the iPad<\/a> on AT&T, users will be able to choose whether or not they want the data plan, and if they do it won\u2019t require a contract.  There\u2019s 512MB of RAM, 2GB of onboard flash storage, and an included 16GB microSD card.<\/p>\n

$600 seems a bit steep for this device considering its smaller screen size and app library vis-a-vis the iPad.  If Samsung wants to compete with the most popular tablet device ever sold, it would seem they should be a bit more competitive in their pricing.  But the Verizon Galaxy Tab is $30 cheaper than the base iPad Wi-Fi + 3G model, so we\u2019ll soon see how many users are willing to spend about as much for a tablet that doesn\u2019t have a fruit logo.<\/p>\n
