We’ll break from riffing on QVC’s entertaining and usually clueless sales pitch to say that yes, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7-inch version) was briefly listed on QVC’s website. The price was $309.98 for the base 8GB version, and it’s the first time we’ve seen any indication of the updated 7-inch tablet’s price. Last we heard, both the 7-inch and 10-inch Galaxy Tab 2 models were scheduled for sale later this month, delayed for a little extra work on Ice Cream Sandwich and TouchWiz. The 10-inch version is getting a rumored retail price of $399 – $100 less than the Galaxy Tab 10.1, though that’s also for a less capacious 8GB model. The QVC listing has since disappeared.

The Galaxy Tab 2 7-inch was unveiled back in February… to a chorus of “meh”. It’s mild refresh of the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, with Ice Cream Sandwich being its most appealing addition. Otherwise you get the same 7-inch 1024×600 LCD screen, 1.2Ghz processor, and a choice of 8, 16 or 32GB capacities, with an added MicroSD card slot. Given QVC’s list price we can expect the 8GB model to sell for $299 elsewhere. Despite what Auntie Grace says, they don’t always have the best prices out there.
