Samsung Galaxy Tab has turned up on Amazon UK with a price tag of £680 with VAT, or about $1,063. The price is significantly higher than the Apple iPad, as predicted earlier. The iPad model lists at the equivalent of $827 after tax at Apple UK’s online store. The Galaxy tab had appeared on Amazon Germany for 799 Euros, a few days ago.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is not yet available to pre-order and the site hasn’t listed any delivery date. But the device will be coming equipped with a 7 inch touchscreen WSVGA display and it comes with Android 2.2 Froyo, Bluetooth 3.0 and a 3G data radio. It features a 3 megapixel camera on the back and a VGA video camera on the front for making video calls.It will also feature a number of built in Google services, which includes Google Navigation, Google Goggles and Google Places. It will be using a 1 GHz ARM Cortex A8 CPU, which matches the iPad in terms of clock speed.

It is a matter to be seen whether the Samsung Tab is going to be popular or not with the higher price tag, since the less costly iPad comes with a 9.7 inch display. However, the iPad lacks extras such as Bluetooth 3.0, front and rear cameras and built-in memory card slot.The Desire HD sticks with the 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdgragon 8255 processor from the Desire - matched by the 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 chip in the Samsung Galaxy S. The Apple iPhone 4 uses Apple's own A4 chip, which is also based on a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 core but is underclocked.

The Desire HD goes a step further than its rivals, with 768MB of internal memory for running programs. The Samsung Galaxy S has 568MB on the other hand, the same as the iPhone 4. Interestingly, that's twice the RAM you'll find in the iPad.The Samsung Galaxy S has a footprint of 122 x 64mm - comparable to the 123 x 68mm Desire HD. It also has a thickness of 1cm, 0.7mm thicker than the iPhone but thinner than the 11.8mm thick Desire HD. Both the HTC and Samsung handsets are bigger than the 115 x 59mm iPhone 4. The Galaxy S is the lightest - it weighs in at 119g compared to the 164g Desire HD and 137g iPhone 4.
