The last weekend of January I made and update to my tab and the update take away some of the features of my tab like: the short cut on the display to screen shot and the features of this task like color, crop and editing the picture of the screen shot. Now to take a screen shot you have to press the lock button and low volume button at the same time to take a screen shot. Way to go Android, Samsung... and that was sarcasm.
Compact, fits in hand for easy reading vertically or horizontally for viewing TV shows. The battery life is about 8 hours unless you watch TV or downloads, then it is shortened (in which I'm somewhat disappointed). The resolution is OK, but hope it improves with newer models.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive, Durable
Cons: Not high def
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Tablet! Just needs better microSD card support higher pixel density for 5 stars.

This is a great tablet. It also includes an integrated infrared transmitter, which allows it to function like a higher-end universal remote, regardless of the manufacturer of your TV, receiver, cable box, and other home theater equipment. The integrated speaker is lacking however, this seems to be the norm for 7-inch tablets, which I assume are intended to be used with headphones of some kind. The two points that prevent a 5-star rating are the screen resolution (pixel density to be more precise) and the poor SD card support (microSD). This tablet includes a microSD card slot, but it doesn't allow apps and their related data to be stored on it. The Tab 2 mounts the main internal memory as an SD card. The 8gb version of the Galaxy Tab 2 only has 3.5gb of usable storage immediately after initial setup. This makes the full support of a microSD card even more important. You can add video, music, and other to a microSD card, and access files using the tablet, but almost all apps designed to be able to use an SD card for storage will not be able to use the card for storage for that app. If you have apps that store data on the tablet, they will use the main memory and not the SD card. Even apps like App2SD will not be able to use the microSD card. All apps must be installed in the main memory, which cannot be expanded. The screen, which is bright and of good quality, is not quite the pixel density I have become to expect from the better 7-inch tablets. The handful of tablets that do have better displays do so with additional cost, but after getting used to one of the higher-resolution screens, it is hard to use this tablet without wishing it had a better screen. Other than those two things, this is a great tablet for the price, and I would recommend it to anyone who to pay the bit more for a higher-resolution screen.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, integrated infrared port
Cons: Not high def, poor microsd card support, low-quality speaker

Solid 7.0 Tablet

After playing with my GN10 my daughter requested her own tablet for Christmas. I chose the GT2 7.0 over the Kindle Fire HD and the Nexus 7 because of the device's expandable memory and user friendly interface. I'm very satisfied with the purchase and my daughter loves it. However, it would have been nice if the display was on par with the competition... and the battery and life isn't as good as Samsung claims.
So fare i love this device, i have had a couple days to play on it and i am happy with my purchase. I love how fast it manages tasks and apps no lagg on game at all. Only dissapointment is it sometimes take a while for wifi to connect but other than that, it was an excellent purchase!
Im an on the go mom with my husband travelling often, and this product makes it so much simpler.. not only taking videos, pictures that stun me.. but having such accesibility but being able to keep it in my purse. I love this!
