Vodafone has also offered a data plan for Galaxy Tab owners. People who opt for the plan will get 2 GB of data per month for six months at a rate of Rs. 3,000.

India was the chosen destination for the Galaxy Tab 730 and Galaxy Tab 750 launch as Samsung was, back then facing lawsuits against Apple in many countries back then. Although launched amongst much fanfare, one of the tablets was available in India till now.
