A pre-order in Norway for the 16GB WiFi model with estimated delivery on the 17th of April will set you back 3495 NOK that is the equivalent of 572 US dollars
I can by the iPad mini which is available in store today for 2590 NOK/424 USD
The Samsung tablet clearly has the better specs but I'm not sure if it justifies the hefty price. Hopefully the price will drop after it's been released.
Here's a site making a comparison of the two tablets:
