You can kind of tell we’re growing ever closer to the Galaxy Tab’s promised November 1 retail launch as prices for this slate just keep coming out of the woodwork, looking ever more solid with each passing day. Vodafone Germany is the latest to reveal the wallet damage Samsung’s 7-inch Android tablet will demand, with a €730 ($1,017) levy for the 16GB version sans contract, or a €300 ($418) cost for those willing to commit to a two-year data plan at €35 a month. We’d advise against taking those direct currency conversions to heart, but the Tab’s pricing here is €30 more than the 32GB iPad WiFi + 3G, making us scratch our heads as to how Samsung believes it’ll manage to convince anyone to buy its smaller, less capacious alternative.
