Are the cables and chargers for all galaxy tabs the same? In other words will a charger and cable for a P1000 work with a US T-mobile Tab? If so then $4.50 is an awesome price for a car+home+usb cable and charger. Please let me know because I need to replace my lost charger and cable and I dont want to pay samsung $50 for a replacement.

Sorry to be confused but what actual cable can i buy that will charge and sync? do these above cable work with the included samsung wall charger that came with the tab?

also what do i need to view the tab on a TV and anyway to use a remote control with the tab)?

i know i can buy the samsung dock but do i need to buy the vzw hdmi cable or any normal hdmi cable will work?

or can i just buy this from vzw (is this all i need)

This is not bad.
amazon.com url removed
Someone just posted a very negative review of that item on Amazon. It seems both chargers are regular 1 amp units and won't charge the Tab.

Not a terrible price for just the cable, but I'm not buying anything from a vendor that so terribly misidentifies their products.

I suspect Monoprice will have data cables for under $2 in a week or two.

I can see why the buyer is upset, but even at 1 amp, if the cable is correct, it should charge the Tab, just at a slower rate. I use bricks rated under 2 amps all the time. It just takes longer to charge. Afterall isn't the output from a standard Usb around.5 amps? With my Tmo Tab I can charge when connected to my PC.

I suspect it it doesn't work in is the cable.

I just bought this cable and charger so I hope you're right. Actually I'm pretty sure you are right because I have been charging my tab via my laptops usb port during this past week and it does charge, just way slower.

I'll post back and let everyone know it it works or not when I get it.

Seems like the item is no longer available either.

I did order one before that user posted his feedback. Its still not a bad price for a spare cable.

We will see. I did get a message saying it had been shipped should be here Monday or Tuesday.

I just received my chargers and cable. The charger is indeed only a 1amp but it still charges my tab. Havent tried the car charger yet.

Usually they will still charge ; though the battery icon on the TAB will show a charging sign with a cross. (But it is very slow).
Likewise on a PC; it will also charge; but if u are using Tethering, the battery will discharge (but slowly too)

Using a 2A adaptor will definitely charge the TAB faster. And it is advisable to use it if you are into Wifi Tethering.

I bought this from Dealextreme SKU.48826; surprising it was able to provide the 2A rating to charge my TAB; very pleased with it.
