FTG writes-Tablets and mobile computing seem to be all the rage these days. You can’t see an ad without a mention of using an app for the iPhone, iPad, or Android phones and tablets. Samsung was one of the first to jump on the tablet bandwagon after the introduction of the original iPad and has remained one of the main players in the mobile world. When Android Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0 to the non-Android crowd) finally launched, Samsung went after it with the newest incarnation of the Galaxy Tab. Sporting great tech and an almost vanilla Android experience, Samsung knows how to keep up with Apple. In this review, we will cover the 7 inch Tab rather than the 10.1 inch.
Liliputing - A few years ago Samsung released the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7, making it the first major PC company to launch an Android tablet. Running Android 2.2, it offered a smartphone-like experience in a tablet-sized device.
But with prices starting at $350, a smartphone-like experience wasn’t really enough to help the tablet compete with the Apple iPad, and over the last few years Samsung has introduced a half dozen additional tablets with different screen sizes and special features.
T3: The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 tablet offers a smaller screen along with Android Ice Cream Sandwich and a 1GHz dual-core processor.
Pocket-Lint: It is not an exaggeration to say that the original Galaxy Tab is one of our favourite gadgets. While Steve Jobs was telling his disciples that 7-inch tablets were dead on arrival, Samsung was busy winning us over with its compact, but functional tablet.
It wasn't love at first sight for us though, it was a slow romance that ended with us loving the P1000. Having a device that's big enough to make web browsing pleasant, but still small enough to fit into a coat pocket, made us realise that smaller tablets have a lot to offer.
i wish this had a 720p screen atleast :(
I got mine fee with a Samsung tv. It's great. No complaints with it here. Actually impressed with it as well
