Samsung Shifts 600,000 Galaxy Tabs in One Month
Despite being hamstrung by an operating system designed for the smaller screen of a smartphone, Samsung's Galaxy Tab has sold an impressive 600,000 units in less than a month. That's pretty close to the iPad's initial sales, which reached one million in 28 days.
It's important to remember that the iPad's first month was largely confined to the domestic U.S market, whereas the 7-inch Tab has been available all over the world since launch. In fact, according to the Korea Herald, Samsung has shifted just 30,000 Tabs in its own home market of Korea.
Remember, too, that a large proportion of these sales will have been subsidized by telcos, lowering the ~$600 price-tag in exchange for a data-contract.
But these numbers are impressive by any standards, and show that there is a huge demand out there for super-portable computers with the battery life and connectivity of a cellphone. It seems that the Galaxy Tab really is a real rival to the iPad, just like we thought.
