Great tablet with a tragic flaw

Due to a flaw in the KitKat 4.4.2 Android OS, music stored on the SD card can not be played. I got rid of my ipad 3 Retina in large part because there was no memory expansion for storing music. I do not want to be tied to a streaming or cloud service which makes it difficult to play what I want when I want. The display is awesome, the onboard stereo speakers are decent if a little thin sounding. But it all is for naught if I can not find a work around for the SD card issue.
The main reason the Galaxy S caught our attention was the quality of the picture and screen resolution it offered. We replaced an out dated IPad 3 with it and are more than pleased with our investment. We find it to be more than sufficient for our everyday use, but find the 84 page user manual a bit over whelming. We had planned on getting the Samsung 3 tab until we saw the quality of the pictures and video the Galaxy S displayed. We had already switched from IPhones to the Samsung Galaxy 5 phone so we were fairly familiar with the android system. Would recommend anyone with an IPad or IPhone to switch to the Galaxy series phones and tabs.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, awesome video display
Love this tablet. I bought the apple iPad air 18th and hated it. This tablet is 100% better than a ipad. Easy to set up and use. Love android and google. Battery life could be a little better but it never hangs or locks up like my iPad did. The camera is great. Had 2 months and no complaints. Samsung is years ahead of Apple. Buy this and you won't regret your decision.
I am a little disappointed that there is a lot of bloatware that I have no use for but cannot delete. This is my first tablet so still learning. Also disappointed that I cannot connect to the Internet using pdanet. Reports are that a bug was introduced into this version of the operating system. As I am getting older it would be nice to be able to view content on a larger screen without the added expense of adding on hot spots.
