Has anyone else noticed that the Galaxy Tab uses a connection pretty damn similar to the one on our Streaks? After doing some reading it looks as though both use PDMI and cables sold as Galaxy Tab cables are a damns sight cheaper. So I've just ordered one and hopefully I will have some good news to report, we'll be able to spend a fiver instead of £30 for a cable! Not to mention car chargers.
But if anyone knows someone with a Tab they can test, we might get an answer sooner?

Ahhhh that sux! But I think, had I searched google for "Dell streak with galaxy tab cable" I would have noticed the amount of people that had the same bright spark idea.... (leave me alone, it was late.... LOL)... But since I'm going to have one delivered that I have no need for, I'm going to see if I can mutilate it enough to fit
It does annoy the hell out of me, how they can use a "standard" and make it proprietary.
Don`t want to spoil your morning but i already mutilated mine Tab cable and it still didn`t fit...

I did find a company on ebay supposedly selling them for £7.95 (or there abouts) called speedydelivery.co.uk but as I've not heard of them before Ive sent them an email to see if anyone "lives" there, before I ordered one.

It's just not working out for you is it RavenY2K3?
So how can Dells connection and Samsung's connection bother be PDMI yet both are different?
I got a lil excited at one point as my lil sister has a little creative MP3 player and that had a simialr looking connector but that didn't fit

It certainly isn't mate, think I'll get me coat now ha ha, I don't how they can be PDMI, that's what I mean about changing standards, it would be like a company adding an extra contact in USB and still calling it USB, im not going to give up....
we shall fight Dell on the beaches,
we shall fight Dell on the landing grounds,
we shall fight Dell in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight Dell in the hills;
we shall never surrender! We will find cheaper alternatives to their accessories..... ha ha

Slacker G2 apparently has the same cable as the Streak, since their dock works for charging and connecting to computer. The only thing the dock doesn't do is audio out. But to get one cheap you have to be in the States. $18 free shipping.

The thicker tab will hit Vodafone (spelling?) in the UK. A '4G' (HSPA+) version will come 'this year'.
It's ALL a little iffy.
I believe that in Europe it will be called the 10.1v ... and the thinner (better¿) one will just be the 10.1... the 10.1v is almost in preorder if I am correct

You can pre-order with Vodafone.NL :

It will be delivered "week 17" (April 25 onwards).

10.1v is indeed coming to European shops in few days. Seems like Vodafone wanted to be "first and exclusive: and they are the only ones that signed deal with Samsung at MWC. This means that they have to get this 10.1 in and prey to God to sell it which to me seems as an impossible task.
It can not compete with iPad 2, it can not compete with Transformer, it can not compete with Iconia a500. + because it is exclusive to Vodafone it will be pricey...
I am waiting for HSPA+ vet of new 10.1 SD card slot is a must with tablet... an why not others? Tavket has to be as light as possible, Super IPS screen is big +, battery is also very good.
I hope they will be fast.... as the things stand at the moment I am not that convinced that S1 (since it will have Tegra 2 inside???) is a good option but once it is introduced in flesh.... who knows.
I would prefer to buy 10.1 instead of being pulled towards S1 and wait even more

Yea, I'm taking what they said with a grain of salt, but the store manager told it wasn't on his list.
Just Xoom, Playbook, Toshiba Tab, and Asus.

Agreed EXCEPT for the HSPA+. Besides it's thin-ness the main draw of the thin tab was it's price. It has to be competitive in price and on a competitive network for when it gets '4G'. So i'd say $500 for an unlocked LTE version would kill all competition.
And maybe a nice dock?
I am only planning on getting a wifi version .. but I really hope that there is something like the ipad2 cover that apple made... it is nice a sleek... I can live with it not turning off the screen but it makes feel more book-like and I think that that would be a great thing to have

Ditto. I doubt there will be an LTE version. I'm buying the wifi version. And if there isn't a smart cover-like thing I'm going to try to make one. And the book like feel is one of the things I love about my nook. I'm just worried that if Samsung does make a smart cover clone, Apple will say that they're copycats.

Have you read the reviews of this cover? It's quite bad. It leaves greasy marks on the screen and doesn't really protect anything.

So? Who gives a damn about what Apple does or thinks? I suppose if they will get one day get themselves into "adult industry" there will be iDick introduced and half of the world will go

Again they would have hit a marketing and selling hot spot - and I do not think ppl. would care that they had it all the time but without an "i" bit.
So...
1. do not worry what Apple will say!
2. You can be sure that if GT 10.1 will sell in volume there will be a lot of companies tying to make a buck on accessories for it (Samsung included).

Hope I'm not threadjacking either. I also have an extra one coming to me this week that I wasn't able to cancel in time. I'm located in the Northern CA, in the south bay, if anyone in the SJ area is in need of a dock.

Well, he can still get full retail for the dock (or maybe more due to shortages). Might as well sell what he has now if he isn't going to get a tablet until later this year. That way he's more likely to get a dock with all the bugs worked out. It remains to be seen if firmware updates alone will really solve the myriad of problems the current Transformer dock has.
Also it keeps his options open as to what tablet to get -- lenovo and others have "transformer" style tablets in the works, so why tie himself to ASUS now when they might not be the best option for a tegra3 tablet?
For the numerous of you that have several docks available, if you'd like to get rid of one feel free to PM me a price.

If you don't know what this thing is, a short summary is basically:
The LiveView is a watch that gets information from your phone and displays them on its screen when you're either 1. Too lazy 2. Too busy
to pull our your phone.
I KNOW that this watch has its bluetooth problems and is very irritating at times
(I own one myself)
But I think $25 at least warrants a look in its direction.
