Samsung Galaxy Tab P1010 (Wi-Fi-only) pre-orders start at Amazon UK for £299, shipping March 31

The rarely heard of Wi-Fi-only version of the 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab is getting very close to its official launch. Previously, we've heard that it may become available in the US on April 4 for $399. However, it now looks like the UK will get the tablet before the US.

Amazon UK has started taking pre-orders for the Wi-Fi-only Galaxy Tab seven-incher, and it's asking £299 (that's approximately $477, in case you were wondering) from those of you who'd like to purchase one. If you do order one, Amazon UK will ship it to you on March 31. So if you act now, by the end of the week you may just hold your new Android-powered tablet in your hands.

Now why you'd want to buy a tablet powered by Android 2.2 Froyo is another story altogether, especially with recent rumors claiming that such devices will never, ever receive updates to Android Honeycomb, the tablet-optimized version of Android. Anyway, if you'd like to get your very own Wi-Fi-only 7-inch Galaxy Tab from Amazon UK.
