We now know that a Wi-Fi only version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab does exist. And just how do we know this? Because the chaps at the FCC had a great time with the device, even padding up the government credit cards to show the Android flavored device a great time. We also can tell from the details of the meeting, that all the Feds were interested in with this model was to check the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth operations of the pad.
A Wi-Fi only version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab means not having to pay those pesky monthly 3G charges. Alas, it also means that you would have to find a Wi-Fi connection to use the tablet. You might end up paying more upfront for the device with no carrier subsidy, but a lot less overall without the monthly invoices.
