Section: Computers , Mobile Computers While it was nice that Samsung finally announced the Galaxy Tab tablet, they did fail to offer up any official details in terms of pricing. That said, that little lack of information has lead to some speculating and because of that we are beginning to see a wide variety of prices. Gadgetell is here to clean up the confusion a bit. It costs $895 .? To begin with, the 16GB Galaxy Tab was spotted in a product listing with online retailer Expansys sporting a €679.99 price tag (about $895 US).

Plex is media center software, from a startup of the same name, which integrates video content from local and online sources. Thus far, Plex has only been available for Mac OS X and iOS (for iPad, iPhone, iPod). But today LG announced that in 2011 it will integrate Plex into its range of Netcast-enabled HDTVs and Blu-ray devices, making Plex a video solution for mobile, PC and TV. LG’s NetCast Entertainment Access System gives direct access to online video and audio content.

One hot topic right now is the future of the solar market, which is considered over-saturated. One writer, citing a conversation with a venture capitalist, calls this the “ sunset of solar venture capital .” Noting analysts’ bearishness on solar going into 2011, the Motley Fool’s Travis Hoium bets on First Solar , but says Trina Solar and Yingli Solar also have a shot at making inroads into the residential and commercial market where SunPower reigns supreme. Jigar Shah at Cleantech Blog picks at Fool’s metric of cost per watt, saying widening efficiency gaps have rendered those numbers moot. “ In any case, solar is coming down in cost and the race is fun to watch .” U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced yesterday that two million smart grid meters have been installed in the country as a result of funding from the Recovery Act
