If you have been bating your time waiting for the perfect time to purchase a tablet, the time has never been better, as Samsung announces a reduction in price for the Galaxy Tab. The Tablet is now available at a recommended retail price of R5999.

The Galaxy Tab’s 7-inch display features enhanced TFT technology, offering brighter colours and clearer pictures, whether watching a movie or reading a book. The display delivers 1024 x 600 WSVGA resolution, offering full support to the Android 2.2 operating system. With support for Flash Player 10.1, the Galaxy Tab delivers an enhanced content experience when compared to other tablets currently available. Users can engage with thousands of sites with rich Flash-based applications and content including games, animations, rich Internet applications (RIAs), data presentations and visualisations, ecommerce, video, music and more. Samsung’s mobile tablet also provides access to the more than 80,000 applications currently available on the Android Market.

“The Galaxy Tab which entered the market locally last year, has been well received and we have recognised the tremendous growth potential in this newly created market. This price reduction is a powerful proof point of Samsung’s commitment to bring new and innovative mobile experiences to local consumers,” said Paulo Ferreira, Head of Mobile Products and Business Solutions at Samsung.
