Will The AMOLED Shortage Drive Up The Price Of The Galaxy Tab?

Most techies have heard the news of the AMOLED shortage. The Nexus One, along with several other phones, has been forced to switch to SLCD screens. Will this scarcity affect the price of the Galaxy Tab devices?

No and here is why. Samsung has over 90% market share of AMOLED and Super AMOLED, which means they are basically the sole manufacturer of the treasured displays. They stopped selling the screens to other companies because they needed them for their incredibly popular Galaxy S phones.

Samsung’s Galaxy S phones are the same price as many other high end smart phones that do not use AMOLED screens. I believe that the Galaxy Tab will follow this trend and cost no more than Apple’s iPad.

What do you think? Am I way off base?

iPad vs Unofficial Galaxy Tab Specs

Is there a clear winner in your book yet? The only thing about the Galaxy Tab that is worrisome is the possibility of the 480×800 screen resolution. I’m sure the vibrant, low-power Super AMOLED screen will make up for it though.
