It looks like Best Buy isn’t the only one to drop the price of the Galaxy Tab. Sprint.com and presumably all Sprint stores now also offer the $299 price on the Galaxy Tab if you go with a two-year contract.
Throughout tech history dropping the price usually means either poor sales or a new model is approaching. With Samsung letting us know that new devices will be shown at MWC in February this year, Sprint’s upcoming “industry first” event and the outstanding sales figures of all things labeled “Galaxy”, I’d go with the latter.
