Great Tablet, Now With ICS

I plugged my SGT7+ into Kies this morning and to my pleasant surprise, I was advised that a firmware update was available. I performed the update and my tablet now has Ice Cream Sandwich on it!
It was a great tablet, now it seems better. It seems like it now goes to eleven.
The only downside to this tablet is that my wife likes it better than her iPad2, so I don't get to use my SGT7+ as often as I want to.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: wife likes it better than her ipad2
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just The Right Size

I already own a GT 10.1, but thought I might like this size better, and I absolutely do! Perfect for an e-reader, yet still gives enough real estate to do anything else you might want to do.
My 10.1 is now a REALLY large clock on my nightstand!

Now it's great!

After a repair right out of the box to cure the "freezing" problem, which Samsung handled well, my tablet has been operating flawlessly.
I use it to check my email, read books, and check things on the web. Looking forward to trying navigation.. maybe I can give up my GPS and only carry the tablet on trips.
Overall... I like it a lot, and I'm glad I got it now.
Waiting for the ICS update... one of these days I hope??
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, good value for price

I really like this WIFI tablet. It's light, fast and the perfect size for me. I find that larger tablets become difficult to hold securely with one hand and smaller tablets just don't have enough screen space to be very useful to me. The Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus even fits in some of my larger jacket pockets. Unlike many other Android tablets, this one has built-in hardware encryption.
Like anything, this tablet isn't perfect. The worst design aspect is the micro SD card slot. The slot is so far recessed into the case, that inserting and removing a micro SD card is not as easy as it should be. In order to remove or insert a micro SD card, one must use a small object like a paper clip, pin or another micro SD card to push down on the card. A tool like this is necessary in order for the card to eject. Even then, the card barely sticks out enough to fully remove, but it does work well enough.
The other thing that bothers me only a little is the proprietary connector for charging, data transfer and peripherals. A standard USB port or micro USB port for this purpose would be far more useful and might avoid requiring separate proprietary adapters for USB, SD and HDMI connections. A single USB port, and a standard SD card slot would make more sense to me. Then a simple SD to micro SD adapter could be used for micro SD cards and a user would only require an extra adapter for HDMI connections.
The only issue I have with the UI is the location of the multi-function Quick launch button at the bottom of the screen which can be set to take screen captures, link to the apps menu, search or camera. I often find that I mistakenly activate that button while trying to press the recent apps button next to it. Perhaps this is my own personal issue, but mistakenly activating this button seems to happen more often than it should.
This review may seem to focus on the cons, but I really am very pleased with the capabilities and general experience this tablet provides. I'm very happy with my purchase. I anxiously await the arrival of Android 4.0 ICS for this tablet.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, hardware encryption
Cons: poor microsd card slot accessibility, no usb port, proprietary adapters for usb sd hdmi
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very pleased with my Galaxy Tab Plus
on April 10, 2012

After having done some research on line about the various tablets on the market and the features, strengths and weaknesses for several types, including the IPad, I decided for my needs, primarily commuting, that the IPad would be an overly expensive choice. I wanted something small enough to easily fit in my attache case, yet big enought to surf the web, read email and use some apps. Based upon reviews in a leading Consumer Magazine, I decided to focus my search on the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. It provided enough Memory and the ability to accept additional through the Micro SD Card Slot. It also had the Android 3.2 upgradable to 4.0 (ICS) in the near future. It has been a wonderful experience so far downloading apps, reading news and other media while relaxing on the couch, or in the train, and even playing games. The display is great and the sound from the speakers is surprisingly robust for its size. I look forward to utilizing more the features as I am still a novice. If I had to note one con it would be that the user's guide has to be downloaded as a separate PDF. The limited starter guide included in the packaging needs to be more detailed. Overall, I am glad with my choice and would recommend it to others who don't want to break the bank for an IPad.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: user's guide had to be downloaded
I would recommend this to a friend!

Galaxy 7.0 Plus

Wife complained she didn't have a tablet like her friends when they were out using WiFi spots. So I gave her mine and purchased another which happened to have been the new 7.0 Plus. A few more bells and whistles but what I noticed 1st was that I didn't have to install a Battery Saver App. Apparently one is built in because in a side by side comparison this lasts as long as the old one with the battery App. Thanks, one less App to install.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, easy to use

Love the Size

I bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus for the size. I opted for the WiFI only version to save money and I am very happy with my purchase. I use it to connect to conduct my personal home based business while I am out an about. The color is good, the features are good - it functions similar to my android phone. I LOVE the Television Remote feature, it is much easier to use my tablet than the channel guide. The camera takes great pictures of my products and I can easily upload them to the internet or social media sites.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight, camera
