By We know Samsung has a nice range of accessories lined up for the Samsung Galaxy Tab, but we haven’t heard anything regarding pricing and availability until now. That first part has finally been officially unveiled, at least. Highlights include everyone’s favorite keyboard dock that the Samsung Galaxy Tab sites inside of, portrait style. In the UK, its RRP will be £69.99. The multimedia desk dock – the one with the HDMI port – will run you £39.99. A leather slip case for your new 7-inch tablet will be somewhat costly at £24.99, but we have to consider this is double the size of a lot of today’s smartphones. For the full range of products, do yourself a favor and look below.
