Samsung has made the Wifi-only version of the original Galaxy Tab officially available today. If you weren't lucky enough to get yours a few days early, you can now jump online and order one, at the reasonable cost of $349.99. Samsung lists six "official" retailers that are selling the tab, and interestingly enough Frys and Amazon are both already sold out. Whether this is because of demand, or supply issues is unknown, but it's worth mentioning.
Also worth mentioning is the fact that the Tab is still a Froyo tablet. I hope there are plans for an official update, but with the changes Google has made that's anyone's guess. There is an unofficial update in the works, and I'm pretty certain that if Google does release tablet-centric source code we'll see some great implementation of it on the Tab, but it is what it is. We recently asked readers if they would choose the Wifi Tab or the Barnes & Noble Nook Color, and the Nook was the more popular device with readers who had plans to purchase one or the other. I think both would be a fine choice, but I already have a Nook Color so I think I'll pass on this one and wait to see what Toshiba has for us. But if you're in the market for a very nice, low priced Android tablet, the Wifi Tab is certainly worth looking at. [Samsung]
