Verizon is making several improvements to the Samsung Galaxy Tab with an extensive system update for the seven-inch tablet.  Update EC02 will provide faster browsing and Flash 10.2, as well as some other enhancements.



The most notable other upgrade will be an improvement in battery life, which Verizon and Samsung have accomplished by developing a more efficient way for the Galaxy Tab to search for Wi-Fi hotspots.

The release of update EC02 comes at the same time as an announcement from both Verizon and Sprint that they are dropping the subsidized price of the Galaxy Tab to $200 with a two-year agreement. The 3G Tab’s price has been on a steady decline over the past few months, and at this point the on-contract Galaxy Tab is possibly the least expensive tablet available, with the exception of some generic options sporting tragic specs.

Additionally, the Samsung Galaxy Tab Wi-Fi-only version is set to make its release, and will begin retailing April 10 for $350.
