With the legal battles over (for now), Samsung now have the right to sell the device in Australia and it will be ready for you to put under the Christmas tree this year. Samsung says the device will be at Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, Good Guys, Myer, Bing Lee and Office Works “in time for Christmas shopping” with a price of $579 (16GB WiFi) and a $729 (16GB 3G).
