Let us start with what a great and durable design and how user friendly it is. It has a great camera and video but it's the apps or the lack of working ones (the lack of a working Netflix WI or Skype App) are what hurt this product the most. Also syncing it with a mac is a great treat onto itself. As for accessories this is a new product so most are on their way as I speak but I have found three cases for it that will fit almost any need and a great screen protector even though it is has a very durable screen from the factory. The battery life is good the price is a little steep, personally I think for what you pay they sure throw us a bone with a few installed apps hint hint or just fix the Netflix watch instantly App and Video Skype App so I can get my movie fix on and Video talk to my Kids while I'm in Afghanistan.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, apps that do work are great, wifi, blue tooth
Cons: Did not meet expectations, apps suck, apps that do work still suck, pricey, no accessories, no durable cases for military use, did i say pricey already
I would recommend this to a friend!

Many glitches and problems

I thought this would be an excellent tablet from all the reviews I'd read but it has been more of a hassle than it's worth. It freezes up more than once a day and has to be restarted. The wifi often doesn't detect or connect and I have to restart to get it to work. The bluetooth doesn't always connect. I ordered a white tab and got a black one yet when I registered it my serial numbers come up as a white one (?!). The power button should have been located on the front and perhaps recessed; where it is now on the side I am constantly turning it on or off by accident.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Living Room Toy......

After I got this tablet, I became very disappointed when I found out that I can not connect it to a VGA projector!!!!!!!! I do presentations all the time and I thought I will use this tablet in my presentations but Samsung didn't even think about an accessory that would help professionals like myself to use this tablet as a productive tool. I guess Samsung designed this tablet to be just a living room toy...
Cons: Did not meet expectations, not designed for professionals
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Lacks apps & simple things don't work

It won't let me link my YouTube account to tablet. Keeps getting an error. Really burns you up. When you want to use you own picture, it crops it to a size that is worthless. No option to "fit to screen". Many Android apps don't work properly. As of this writing, not many apps specifically for Honeycomb. Huge flaw.
The Galaxy 10.1 is great looking but the all plastic body is questionable as to how long will a all plastic product hold up to being handled every day, all day. I had to switch to the Ipad with it's metal backing for rigitity and truly tested software. After five years I will try the new galaxy tab of 2016, I know by then the tablet and the software will be vastly improved.
