$599 is a bit pricey for a seven-inch tablet, and while you can get $200 off that at
some places by signing your life away to a data contract, that really isn't any fun either. Thankfully
Samsung appears to have another option with what looks to be the $499, WiFi-only model that showed up in a Best Buy flier
earlier this week. That version has now been cleared by the FCC, indeed with only tests for 802.11 and Bluetooth wireless. The absence of 3G looks like it will save you $100 and obviously make the device a little less flexible than its bar-bearing brethren, but whether that modified cost:inconvenience ratio works out in your favor depends largely on the value of your income:restlessness factor.
