Samsung Galaxy Tab reported to retail at €699 and €799 in Europe (update: O2 Germany pricing)

Posted in: GalaxyTab, price, pricing, rumor, samsung, samsung galaxy tab, SamsungGalaxyTab, slate, speculation, tablet, Today's Chili

An increasing number of Euroland news outlets are reporting an eye-watering set of prices for Samsung’s Galaxy Tab. Although still unofficial and therefore not yet to be trusted, the values we’re hearing are €699 ($890) in France and €799 ($1,020) in Germany. Those presumably represent the cost of the 16GB and 32GB Tab, respectively, and align perfectly with Apple’s iPad WiFi + 3G pricing — aside from the fact the iPads have double the storage at each price point. Oops! That does make us wary to believe these numbers just yet, but if you want a laugh, why not check out UK importer Expansys today, which is offering a cracking deal for the 16GB Galaxy Tab at £680 ($1,050). And with only a 39-day wait!

[Thanks to everyone who sent these in]

Update: So we’re hearing some conflicting information here. Samsung itself is telling us at IFA that no pricing has been announced and that any prices floating around are speculation — but it seems the company has already announced a suggested retail prices of SEK 9,000 in Sweden including VAT, which works out to about $1,240 (or $930 without VAT). In other words, even after taxes have been removed from the equation, you’re looking at a pretty pricey option for an unsubsidized device here. Let’s hope we see some steep discounts on contract, eh? Thanks, Rasmus!

Update 2: O2 Germany’s official Twitter account informs us that the Galaxy Tab will cost the Bundesrepublik roughly €759 (about $972) in all — a €99 ($127) deposit to start off and then €27.50 ($35) a month likely over two years. Thanks, Nils!

Toshiba finally dives into Blu-ray 3D with BDX3100 player, offers up BDX1100 if stereo’s not your style

Posted in: blu-ray, Today's Chili, Toshiba

Seems like Toshiba bit off more Blu-ray 3D than it could chew this year — the Japanese firm’s just announced that the new BDX3100KB will be its first set-top stereoscopic player, never mind the BDX3000 it announced at CES. Still, we’re willing to forgive and forget if the new machine (replete with DivX and MKV playback, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 surround, and instant playback of AVCHD footage from connected camcorders) makes it stateside sometime soon — both it and the relatively boring BDX1100 standard Blu-ray unit are presently slated for a UK release (at unspecified prices) in October of this year. PR after the break.

Toshiba Camileo S30 and P20 pocket camcorders get touchscreens

Posted in: camcorder, Today's Chili, Toshiba

Toshiba’s launching some new Camileo pocket HD camcorders at IFA, and hey — just like everything else in the world, they’ve sprouted three-inch touchscreens. Both offer 1080p recording and 10x digital zooms with HDMI out and support for 64GB SD storage; the £139 ($214) S30 comes in a more standard form factor that’s 19mm (.7 inch) thick and features eight megapixel still photos, automatic exposure control and image stabilization, while the £119 ($183) P20 comes in a pistol grip package and takes five megapixel stills. The P20 will hit in October, while the S30 is set to arrive in January, so it makes perfect sense for Toshiba to announce it now, in September. PR after the break.

June 11th is the Big Day for the iPhone!

Posted in: Gadgets, iPhone, Today's Chili

This article was written on March 30, 2007 by CyberNet.

There hasn’t been much to say about the iPhone recently, it’s just been a matter of waiting patiently for the big launch. The big news today? If Declan McCullagh from News.com is correct, the iPhone will be released on June 11th!

Iphonecomic

This effort didn’t require digging deep for an answer, all it took was calling Cingular and asking a Customer Service Manager when the launch would be. No prying, no fighting, they simply responded June 11th. Who woulda thought it would be so easy?

As Declan also points out, June 11th is the start of Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference. Coincidence? Probably not.

Toshiba Satellite A665-3DV gets a stereoscopic software makeover, now plays nice with 2D content, Blu-ray 3D and external screens

Posted in: Today's Chili, Toshiba

Nabbed one of Toshiba’s fully-loaded stereoscopic laptops, only to find a dearth of actual 3D? The company’s got a software update that might revitalize your machine. Where previously you’d have to install ready-made dual-ocular content directly to your hard drive, the manufacturer’s just promised a Toshiba Video Player application that will convert your existing 2D content into 3D, plus firmware that will help you pipe stereoscopic video over the integrated HDMI port and upgrade your Blu-ray drive to take the new Blu-ray 3D discs — though we honestly thought it could do that last bit already. While there’s no word on availability, the press release suggests a download will pop up any moment… so, you know, be sure to keep both eyes out. PR after the break.

Roku XD and Netgear Roku XD Player hit the FCC

Posted in: media streamer, MediaStreamer, netflix, Today's Chili

Well, well, what’s this? Looks like Roku has some bigger plans for hitting back at the $99 Apple TV than just price cuts of its own: a Roku XD and a Netgear Roku XD Player just hit the FCC. That’s right, Netgear — Roku’s expanding its platform to third parties. We don’t know if these two devices are standalones or designed to work together, but we’re guessing they’re standalones; the Netgear unit might blend in some of the Digital Entertainer line’s support for local playback and services like PlayOn, YouTube, and CinemaNow. Of course, the big question is going to be price, since if these are substantially more than the Apple TV’s $99 they’re going to have to offer some major features, but we should be finding out what’s up soon enough: the confidentiality on these docs lifts October 23.
