Thoughts after a week

(Review for Galaxy 3.6 from a beginner with Android devices that's experienced with computers)
I think that the screen resolution of 480x320 (horizontal by vertical dots of color) for this 3.6" screen should be easier for those with not-so-great vision to read than the 800x480 resolution on the 4-5" Galaxy screens since everything appears bigger with less pixels per inch (but not as sharp). Even with the lower resolution, the quality of graphics and video are quite impressive.
Cool feature: You can share your multimedia contents with DLNA compliant devices. So if you have a newer TV that's part of your home network, you can transmit videos, photos, and music without wires. An HDMI port would be handy for those with older TV sets, but may not be possible or cost-friendly to add.
For the Android OS, there are several free and free-to-try anti-malware applications available. I found one that scans each app as it's installed, plus it does an automatic scan at a specified interval. There is advertising with free apps, but the majority of them use it tastefully. I wish there were more payment options for paid-for apps.
Per the design being four stars, I tried to be as critical as possible. One annoyance, it vibrates when turning on/off, or after it's been fully charged. There's probably a way to change that, but I haven't found it yet (I've disabled vibration in Sound). Will have to check with support on that. I've had one glitch, where it restarts after I try to access Accounts and sync. Also, I've pressed the wrong button at times - the power and up/down volume buttons are placed close together, and blend in (almost too) well with the frame.
It's pretty amazing that you can go to the App Store on your computer and install/uninstall applications from there (with the device turned on and connected to the same network).
Summary: "The Samsung Galaxy Player is out of this world!" Indeed, it's like a smartphone without the phone. Without the 3G/4G on standby (on a phone) draining the battery, you get the benefit of a lot more usage per charge. The few minor issues I've encountered are far outweighed by the wonders of this device, especially for the price.
Wish List: 20" Galaxy Tablet "Ultrabook and Desktop Replacement" with organic display. <grin>
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, gps, expandle to 40gb, battery life, many capabilities
Cons: more ram maybe?, power button and volume placed close together, lack of interactive training, no hdmi
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had an I pod and got rid of it. What this product does is work hand and hand with my google+ account. As an artist I love music but I also like getting my art in the world. This devices helps me take quick photos so I can post my art in real life,real time. This device works better then my new lap top in speed in emails..and web pages.. I hope this will keep up with the tech. Maybe a zoom lens and higher pixels in the near future?
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: i wish i bought a slightly bigger screen, i hope to see the camera go to 8mp.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have used this product for quite some time and although the OS is outdated (2.3.6), compared to current Samsung Galaxy models, it's still a pretty little device to use.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
