the price of xoom is also very "attractive" to poor people like myself.

The HTC flyer looks more bulkier and  not so streamlined as the TAB. I feel the name given to this new HTC tablet is poor - it immediately connotes an impression of something cheap, unimportant and easily disposable. LOL !!

Plenty of choices in Ebay - price ranges from US$ 29 to US$55. Actually any bluetooth enabled keyboard can work with it unless you are looking for a perfect fit as an added accessory to the Tab. I tested a bluetooth keyboard bought for the iPad - works well

For me, i get BT headset. and well, Tab is not tat bulky, i feel light depends on others tablet. have u hold before Galaxy S? Galaxy S is as light as a paper 
i think this is Samsung 

so you using 2 numbers? how good if can make ONE number in TWO sim card    so 1 for Tab and 1 for a normal phone.

Another challenger to the 7' TAB, this time from Motorola :

Excerpt from : http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2381132,00.asp

Motorola plans to release a 7-inch tablet and several phones with the same docking capabilities as the landmark Atrix 4G phone by the end of the year, CEO Sanjay Jha said at Morgan Stanley's Media and Telecom Conference today.
The company just released its first Android tablet, the Xoom, last week. Jha didn't give specific numbers for Xoom sales, but said they were a "good start" and that Motorola is already working on a "tiered" strategy with multiple tablets.
"There will be seven-inch, some version of eight-inch, some version of 10, 11 and 12 inch tablets" in the market, although not necessarily all from Motorola, Jha said. Seven inches is definitely on the schedule, though, and Motorola "will have other tablets out by the end of the year," Jha said.

Good advise from Uncle Benny. Just to share with you guys, at first I was exactly like what Uncle Benny said. After thinking it twice, I have bought around 10 licensed applications from Market. I guess we should also support the open source developer as they have a living too. Almost one third of the android applications are priced aroun USD 1 to USD 3 which is approximately RM 10 or slightly more

ROOT it, install Titanium Backup and use this app to remove the apps you do not need
You can even replace the bootup splash image

Best is to install custom rom - clean without all the telco apps

If you send in , there will be a service charge at least RM 60

If you are in Spore - just sent in to any Samsung Service centre - they will reflash FREE for you a copy of standard without the telcos input

im stay in malaysia, mean if i bring the tab to samsung service center to reinstall malaysia version OS, will it be more than Rm100++??..

Try the free app : World Newspaper - check Malaysia - only Sin Chew i can find
Others are Straits Times, Berita Harian, Utusan Msia, Edge, The Star,  Harakah, Malaysiakini etc

This is a good app and is free, can checkup many countries newspaper

any idea guys?

anyway, i just sent my tab to samsung service center for the battery issue
