4.0 out of 5 stars My First Tablet, May 14, 2012
This review is from: Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1-Inch, Wi-Fi) (Personal Computers)
My mom bought last year's 8.9 model last week and I fell in love with it, so I bought the new 10.1 tab 2. This is my 4th day with it and I absolutely love it. I've been wanting a tablet for over a year(I love tech toys) and finally couldn't take messing around with one that wasn't mine so I had to buy one. I have a 17" laptop that only gets 1.5 hrs on a charge and wanted something smaller that I could do easy internet stuff like twitter, facebook, surfing, and listening to internet radio, podcasts, and music that was smaller and more mobile then my ginormous laptop. While shopping around I essentially looked at mid-priced android tablets, mostly because of my angst toward apple thanks to the awfulness of itunes software.

The other tablet that really caught my eye was the Asus Transformer TF300. You can do an easy google search to see where the transformer shines where the galaxy doesn't and vice versa. Ultimately storage space wasn't a huge deal for me and I really have no... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Careful, May 15, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1-Inch, Wi-Fi) (Personal Computers)
When buying this tablet, keep this in mind; this is brand new but still old. Brand new in that it comes with the newest operating system factory installed and Samsung changed some of the specs to put a #2 next to the tablet name. This is old based on the fact that Samsung scraped a few design features off the original tablet to sell this one at a cheaper price tag. As of the first week of this tablet's release i have yet to find any downloadable software that would enable me to play movies on it(besides Google's play store of course). At this point tablets of this size are meant for entertainment; do not see how this is going to entertain someone when the only way to view videos is by already having them in the acceptable format or buying the them again from Google's store.

You cannot currently download the application HBO-go, Hulu+ is still not supported, and Amazon's streaming is still unsupported (all due at the moment to the flash support). So until they come up... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this tablet, May 13, 2012
By 
This review is from: Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1-Inch, Wi-Fi) (Personal Computers)
I just picked this tablet up today. It was between this one and an Ipad. This seemed to be the better tablet. I have an apple laptop and an Iphone so by no means am I an apple hater. They have some very great products but I like the Android OS that this tablet comes with. The setup was fast an easy. I keep this next to me when I watch TV and I want to read and post to facebook. I will write more as time goes by. I will take to work with me tomorrow and see how it handles.
Day 2
I took tablet to work today. I am active duty Air Force so I had to disable the Wi-Fi on it because of the security policies at work. The battery lasted all day and then some. A few guys commented on it and were very interested in getting one. I used it for taking notes and updating my calendar on this device. I transferred a PowerPoint presentation and it worked fine with a program that this device came with. Seems to me like this device will work fine for me.

Day 5

So far the... Read more
