For Samsung, competing against Apple's iPad means more than creating an excellent tablet--it also means creating a high-quality line of accessories. For the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Samsung is making a number of cases, keyboards, docks, and adapters, to entice customers.
In this photo we see the Keyboard dock ($69), which offers a full-size tactile keyboard for users interested in adapting the Galaxy Tab 10.1 for extensive word processing and e-mail.
On the right side of the Keyboard dock you'll find a pass-through 30-pin connection, which can be used to charge the tablet while it's docked or to connect one of a number of adapters (USB host, HDMI, USB sync) made for the Tab 10.1.
The Multi-Media dock does not include a built-in video output. Instead, users must buy an HDMI adapter separately ($39), which can be plugged into the pass-though 30-pin connection on the back. A stereo audio out is included.
Here are the range of adapters made for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. From left to right we have the HDMI adapter ($39), the USB host adapter ($19.99), and the SD card adapter (pricing TBD).
