Samsung Reconsiders Galaxy Tab Price In Light Of iPad 2
By Tiernan Ray

Another Samsung executive probably misquoted. Hard to believe they would describe their own products as "inadequate" after allegedly saying they were "quite small." :). In all seriousness, I hope they talk to their countrymen at LG, who seem intent on launching a tablet at $1200.

Yonhap New Agency’s Lee Youkyung this morning cites comments from Samsung’s (SSNLF) head of mobile computing, Lee Don-joo as stating the company is considering lowering the price of its forthcoming Galaxy Tab 10.1, another version of its Galaxy Tab tablet computer, in light of Apple’s (AAPL) insistence on the $499 entry-level price for the iPad 2, which it announced on Wednesday.

“The 10-inch (tablet) was to be priced higher than the 7-inch (tablet) but we will have to think that over,” Lee is quoted as saying on Friday. As Youkyung notes, the pricing of the device, a larger, 10-inch version, which was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last month, had not yet been unveiled. Lee also indicated that the iPad 2 design had caused the company to reconsider the some design elements of its machine.

“We will have to improve the parts that are inadequate, Apple made it very thin.”
