Will Samsung clear the way for its new, much more svelte 8.9in and 10.1 Galaxy Tabs [1] by selling off the original, 7in model cheap? If it won't, retailer Asda will.
It is now offering the Android 2.2 Froyo tablet for a mere 300 quid, down, it says, from £437.
Samsung has never made clear the Tab's base price. Amazon, for instance, says it's £799 from which the retailer is discounting it to £399, which is the cheapest we've seen it outside of eBay.
The entry-level Apple iPad 2 will be priced at £399 [2] when it goes on sale at 5pm tomorrow.
Asda wants exactly £100 less than that.
