Verizon may have inadvertently fed iPad sales with a new policy change on the Galaxy Tab. Previously available off-contract without any commitment, the Samsung tablet was seen at Best Buy with a warning that it now requires at least one month of Verizon 3G service with activation, much as with the Motorola Xoom. The move spotted by Engadget would raise the actual price of ownership from the quoted $500 to $555 after factoring in a minimum $20 plan and the $35 activation fee.
