Samsung Galaxy Tab Cost 215 USD to Build

iSuppli has torn-a-part the Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab and found 205.22 USD worth of components inside it and estimated assembling costs some extra 9.37 USD. Thats just over 30% cheaper than a 3G 16GB iPad.

At their heart, both the Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Apple iPad are more or less an overgrown version of their respective company top phone. iSuppli estimates that the biggest cause for the price difference between the iPad (264.27 USD) and the Galaxy Tab is the screen.
