It’s also one of the first places to get the Galaxy Tab HDMI Docking Station. Model number: ECR-D980 Recommended price is 49,90 Euros but let me just say this now don’t buy it for that price. Not only is it available for much less (I bought it for 36 Euro) but it simply isn’t worth 50 Euro. It’s nothing much more than a stand […]
