You plan on paying $699 for your Samsung Galaxy Tab, right? So that headline doesn’t feel very good does it? Sadly it’s the same for everything we buy. There’s always a mark-up. iSuppli claims that the Galaxy Tab only costs $205 in materials, while costing $215 to manufacture.

Cheap labor is par for the course. The most expensive part in the Galaxy Tab would be its 7-inch display and NAND Flash memory, at $57 and $51. This news won’t stop most of us from buying one, but it’s nice to have all of the facts anyway.

Samsung today denied rumors that it was making the Nexus Two. The company told South Korea’s publication Danawa that the claim was “simply not true.” The denial however does lend some credence to beliefs that Samsung’s November 8 event is more likely to bring the dual-screen Continuum.

This doesn’t mean that they don’t have the device, it may just be called something else, like the Nexus S if it exists. Most talk has suggested that it would be a thinner take on the Galaxy S but with a stock version of Google’s Gingerbread Android.

AT&T has just made it official that they will be offering both the HTC Surround and Samsung Focus starting on November 8th. The Surround and Focus are two of the carrier’s three Windows Phone 7 launch phones.

AT&T’s third Windows Phone 7 will be the LG Quantum, which will also launch on the same day. The carrier also said that its BlackBerry Torch smartphone will be available in red on November 7th, and that it will launch a new promotion giving a free accessory to customers who purchase two other accessories at full price.

If you own a Samsung Wave 525, 533, 575 or 723, we have some good news. The company has announced several free apps and games for the phones. They include FIFA 10, Tetris Refresh, Spore Creatures, Assassin’s Creed II, DioDict French/English dictionary, and Princess Magic Therapy ebook.

It won’t last forever though, so you better hurry. FIFA 10, Tetris Refresh and Spore Creatures will be free for the first 250,000 downloads while Assassin’s Creed will be available for 300,000 downloads and the remaining apps will be available for a limited time only.

Well, it’s official. Samsung’s Galaxy Tab will be hitting Sprint on November 14th. The carrier has confirmed the date and passed along some pricing details. The Verizon deal is $600 with no commitment required.

Sprint however is offering the 7-inch tablet for $399.99 along with a two-year 3G Tablet Mobile Broadband plan. Phone Scoop contacted the company and also found out that there’ll also be a $599.99 offer with no contract.

If you are a Samsung fan and an Android fan, you will be on pins and needles for two weeks. That’s how long you’ll have to wait before Samsung Mobile officially shows off its latest and greatest? Android device. That’s the official date, but we all know that we will get some intel before then.

We have no idea what it might be, but we are checking our wish list and as soon as we hear more info we will let you know.

Samsung has announced a portable X-ray Detector that will allow X-ray images to be taken more accurately. The X-ray Detector is attached to a monitor that will convert the captured X-ray image directly onto the screen.

They say that this solution is less harmful than typical X-ray machines and that it will give a more accurate diagnosis. Samsung claims that the device will be less trouble for patients who suffer from severe musculoskeletal pain. It’s a nice advance in the X-ray world.

While we mostly look forward, some tech designers look to the past for inspiration. This “Jot” concept phone design for Samsung incorporates a rotary dial, along with a capacitive OLED display and a removable stylus.

It’s allows users to make phone calls using the rotary dial while the stylus is used for writing messages. We love the retro look, but who is seriously going to dial using that rotary dial? And it isn’t exactly pocket friendly either.

In an effort to stand out from other 3D offerings and entice you to buy a new 3D TV, Samsung is the first major manufacturer to offer a prescription version of their 3D glasses in Korea. The SSG-R2200 models are similar to the company’s other active shutter 3D glasses, but they’re made to order from an optometrist.

This way you will actually be able to see that glourious or not so glorious 3D. These should be available in the US eventually. No word on pricing yet, but hopefully it won’t be too much.

Samsung has just added two new Full HD monitors to its lineup with the 22-inch SyncMaster 2243DW and 24-inch SyncMaster 2443DW, both for the European market. These are aimed at business users and both are widescreen, delivering a 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution.

Other features include a 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio on the 2243DW and a 70,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio on the 2443DW, 300 cd/m2 brightness and 5ms response time. They are also compliant with TCO 5.0 standard and have D-Sub, DVI and DisplayPort connectors.

That title is crazy right? The iPad 3G starts at just $629 and the iPad Wi-Fi is only $630 in Verizon’s own stores when bundled with a MiFi, after all. We’ve learned that Verizon is actually planning to sell Samsung’s Galaxy Tab for $599.99. Crazy!

Are they serious? Apparently so. And there looks to be zero subsidization available. The Android 2.2-based unit, loaded down with V CAST apps, will hit retail on November 11th. A data plan starting at $20 per month for 1GB is optional.

If the Samsung Galaxy Tab is your tablet of choice, then you might want to check out the new Samsung KDDI SMT-i9100 Android tablet. The device is sexy looking and is powered by the Google Android 2.2 OS.

The SMT-i9100 features a 7-inch multitouch display with WSVGA resolution (1024×600), Wi-Fi, CDMA 1x, 3G, 4GB of internal memory, 512MB of RAM, Bluetooth, a microSDHC card and a 2MP digital camera.

You know how it is. You purchase a notebook that’s been filled up with bloatware that you don’t want. We’ve all been there. But the Korea-bound Samsung X430 notebook is free of such things. The notebook is apparently a Microsoft Store Exclusive, and offers a Microsoft Signature Image label that means that it’s copy of Windows 7 is completely free of trialware and other crap.

However, Microsoft has filled it with a bunch of in-house software like Windows Live, Bing Maps 3D, and Microsoft Security Essentials. I guess you are trading one set of bloatware for another.

Samsung’s 55-inch DID (Digital Information Display) LCD display produces an HD or a Full HD resolution (depending on the model) and has an ultra-slim bezel (3.8mm on the top and left side of the LCD and 1.9mm on the bottom and right side of the LCD).

Sadly we don’t yet have any pricing or availability details. Apparently, this 55-inch ultra-thin bezel screen will be followed by one with a diagonal measurement of 46 inches and a separation of 7.6mm.

Samsung Taiwan has introduced the C3300 Hello Kitty edition, so you’ll get special preloaded content along with the kitty stamped on the back. The rest of the features are exactly the same.

Some of those features include a 2.4 inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, Micro SD card slot and a 1.3 Megapixel camera. Kids and women better hurry as this is limited to Taiwan only and will sell for about $160.
