We're talking tablets here namely the iPad, ATT outbid every other carrier only to change their agreement that SJ promoted as revolutionary. Samsung is smart enough not to limit themselves to a single carrier.
I really doubt Samsung has the pull to command exclusivity at a price.
The dispute was about fatness not thickness if you want to be picky. And fatness is all about proportions. But maybe this knowledge has not yet reached all states of US.

I love you guys. The thicker product is "slimmer".
We need a new dictionary around here.
Slimmer is a relative word just like fatter which is the word that was initially used in this tread. I you weight 180 lbs and are 6 ft tall, you are slimmer than the person who weight 179 and is 5 ft tall. In engineering terms slimness is defined as thickens divided by a characteristic length, I used the diagonal. No use for a dictionary, a little less trolling can do though.
I DON'T love it when a poster really has nothing constructive to ad to a thread topic, so they resort to inane/petty/silly nonsensical postings/flame baiting.
Samsung's Android-powered Galaxy Tab will be coming to all four major U.S. wireless carriers in the coming weeks and months, as the company hopes to compete with Apple's iPad in the booming touchscreen tablet market.
I don't think anyone has proven there is a "booming touchscreen table market" yet. So far there is only a booming iOS device market.
I don't get the 7 inch form factor at all. It looks like a Huge cellphone. Too big to carry readily, yet too small for its intended use. You give up a lot of screen real estate to say the iPad, but have no real carrying advantage over your smartphone.
PLUS the contract, you will be tied to a contract for the data with the carrier. Still all the iPads comes wi-fi & carrier less and there are hot spots every where. It will make things more interesting but alone not an iPad killer.
... and what has that got to do with what I posted...
> $299 = epic fail
What does it matter if we know the pricing or not?

I wonder why that is. Could it be that they also know that this thing aint worth anything over $299 and that any price above this will be an epic fail.
Oh... We weren't aware that you were some high-powered Samsung 'insider' that knows - For a Fact - that the Samsung Galaxy Tab will be priced at more than the aforementioned US 299.00.

At this point the viability, and potential desirability/superiority, of the larger-than-smartphone/smaller-than-iPad form-factor should be quite obvious.

This link suggests that the price will be 799€ (or about $1040).

I'm very interested in the iPad, but this seems more reasonably priced at $299 --

To me, and I believe most other people, the thickens of an object is the smallest of the 3 dimensions of the object, this is not a relative measure.
Man, this looks great. I look forward to the WiFi-only models.
Of course it looks great to you, it's not Apple.
Have you seen how much 'comparatively 'fatter' the ipad is
Do you understand the meaning of the word comparative?

"thickens" may not be a relative term, but "thicker" certainly is. Without a comparison, saying something is thicker has no meaning.
You must really annoy yourself.

In this context, it simply means using comparison as a method, which is exactly how it was used in my post.
