Maybe that is because so many of the Tabs are still apparently sitting on the shelves of retailers -)

Slacker, I guess it all comes down to who you want to believe appleinsider.com I saw the statement provided in your link. There can be a lot open to interpretation as to what exactly was meant and for what time period the data was collected. Eventually, we will find out which is the correct number. But since samsung mislead investors before, I put more doubt in their data. Neal

Samsung: Galaxy Tab Returns Aren’t 16 Percent, They’re Two Percent by John Paczkowski Posted on February 3, 2011 at 10:19 AM PT Maybe Galaxy Tab return rates in North America aren’t that high after all. Samsung today disputed ITG Investment Research’s claim that as many as 16 percent of Galaxy Tabs purchased in the States are returned, dismissing it as inaccurate. The correct figure is less than two percent, according to Samsung Electronics Mobile Communications Business, which offers neither data nor explanation to support its claim. Not that I’m disputing it. That said, ITG’s estimate was based on hard point-of-sale data from nearly 6,000 wireless stores. A 14 percent disparity between that data and Samsung’s seems odd–unless the two are measuring different types of returns: Consumer returns to retailers versus retailer returns to Samsung. digitaldaily.allthingsd.com
