I have the iPad 2 and like to carry it around but it's too big and bulky. I wanted something I could put in my pocket. I had an iPod but wanted something a little bigger. I tried the Samsung Galaxy 5.0 Player and i'm not sure if I got a lemon or what but the wifi kept disconnecting intermittently and the battery life was awful. I traded the 5.0 Player in on the 7.0 Plus and it's great. Very fast and keeps a good connection to wifi wherever I go. And the thing fits in my pocket. Everything I wanted -- i can listen to music, watch movies, play games, keep on on the news, take pictures and record audio and read a book. The only thing I miss is the FM radio.
This is a neat form factor. I've been lamenting not being able to tote my iPad or Tab 10 inch around everywhere I go. This fixes that. It can fit in the back pocket of some of my jeans!
I can mount this on my bicycle if I want, too, without getting into the problems of large-screened phones. Namely, the problem of screen-size. The Tab 7 Plus hits a sweet spot in form factor because of this, offering a screen that is big enough to feel like a tablet instead of a phone.
Travels really well, and uses Honeycomb which is alright with me.
I wish there were an actual emulator for this device for development.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, form factor
I would recommend this to a friend!

I found the galaxy tab 7+ to be easy to use, reasonably fast and full featured. The only negatives for me were the slightly high price (now corrected with the Version 2 device) and that it can't play VOB video natively.
It has largely replaced my desktop PC for most uses and is my prime reading device for books, magazines and newspapers.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Realistic color, Lightweight, easy to learn
Cons: cost a little high, doesn't support all video
