The Australian Galaxy Tab to rival iPad

According to Smarthouse, Samsung has released the official price of the Australian Galaxy Tab (a clear attempt to rival the iPad). The new gadget is said to price at AU$999, meaning it is pricier than Apple’s 32GB 3G + WiFi iPad.
Although the idea of a more expensive, perhaps lesser quality 'iPad' seems null to some, it does have some clear advantages. Unlike the iPad, the Galaxy Tab has a camera and flash, USB connectivity, and increased mobility as it is small enough to fit in clothing pockets. Rumour has it, however, that there is a new camera equipped, 7-inch iPad in the works. 
Good luck, Samsung Galaxy Tab.
