Tab, Student Edition
Samsung Galaxy Tab Student Edition.
Samsung recently came out with a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 student edition in the United States that included USB and external keyboard and retailed for $249.
Unfortunately, it was only offered for two weeks or while supplies lasted.
More unfortunate, it is not clear if the special offer will ever reach Philippine shores. Awww shucks! Samsung did launch recently Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, which retails for P12,990.
Not bad, though the student edition seemed like a much better deal.
