The first thing you need to understand is: THIS IS NOT AN IPAD!!!,
…. It’s also NOT a Galaxy Tab or any of the numorous other high dollar high end tabs out there.
That being said, lets talk about what it is. A VERY inexpensive, very cool android table and book reader.
I have the white version, it came boxed nicely with everything I needed to get started. It doesnt have access to google’s android market but it comes with a market if its own and I found there were PLENTY of places to get free apps all over the internet.
I found the screen to be fairly responsive, however not as fast as MY Ipad. Thats right folks I have an iPad. I wanted something i could throw in the car or read on the boat or drop accidently without worrying about losing it somehow some way. My ipad cost $700 bones new and I found I really didnt like to take it with me anywhere that it might get damaged.
This unit is not as fast as other extreamly more expensive units out in the world but it really, most definatley, does the job. Convert your vidoes to MP4 and watch movies or wait a bit, VLC is coming with an app that will let you play ANY movie file.
Music player is great, speakers are ok but headphones are better. You can reach out on your home network and access files with this unit (something you CANT do with a MAC) you can also expand its memory both internal and exlernal rather simply.
Screen is bright, controls are responsive and the Open Android software that came on it seems pretty stable.
THINK about what you want out of your tablet.
I wanted something a little more compact that I could just throw in the car with me and go. Inexpensive and usefull. This filled the bill and is a steal at this price.
I was surprised to find it on Amazon and certainly at such a reasonable price.
If you want superfast processing and the APP store (Both android or Apple) then your going to have to buy something more expensive.
I found this Tab reliable easy to use and still able to get every APP on it I wanted without having to ROOT it or Hack it.
It’s a great first Tab or for the person who doesn’t need all the bells and whisltes of an Ipad.
I hope this helps!!

Great product,
I bought this as a birthday present for my mom. She enjoys surfing the web right before bedtime and had been using her ipod touch, but the screen is soooo little it’s hard for her to see anything. She is also disabled and there are days that she is in bed or on the couch all day unable to move. I wanted her to have something larger that was a multi-tasker that was easy to use. SHE LOVES THIS TABLET!! It has taken her a few days to get the hang of it, and she says she still hasn’t discovered all of the bells and whistles, but it lets her surf the web without having to sit at a desk where the computer is. It’s also an ereader and the built in Barnes and Noble app is awesome and very easy to use. It also comes with a couple of games (one of them is solitaire, she was thrilled
)But she has already downloaded a few more from the app store. In my opinion, it is totally worth the cost and I am just thankful to see her so happy.

Great Deal for Little Reader,
I’m a big fan of this product. I have yet to run out of battery life, even using the wifi to surf for a couple of hours. Yet, it is a bit heavy. But, it is a GREAT alternative to an iPad. The web surfing is perfectly fine if the wifi connection is a good one. The screen resolution and color is better than most tablets at this price and size, 800×600. As far as Refurbished product, item comes in a sealed retail box and all accessories are brand new, just like new product. I can not tell if it is refurbished.

Awesome device!,
I just got this a couple of days ago, and been playing around with it since. I can’t put it down! Didn’t charge it until after two days. It’s amazing how light and portable it is. With my commute, it’s an excellent device to carry with me. Much lighter than any iPads, Xoom, or any other upcoming Honeycomb devices. The price, well, it’s EXCELLENT!! I use it mostly for reading books and browsing. Wherever I go now, there’s mostly WiFi, so this is perfect. The screen clarity is AMAZING! Much much better than Motorola Xoom.
Galaxy tab feels like a conveniently oversized Android phone, and that is a GOOD thing, because of my familiarity with Android phones. The icons look conveniently big now. Unlike Honeycomb, most applications run great because it’s technically a software for phone. Pandora, book reading apps, Pulse, all run great!
I’d actually give it a 4.5 star instead of five, just because of some things:
- Some apps appear to be stretched, so sometimes it’s not that pleasing to the eyes.
- Qik doesn’t work. This defeats the purpose of including it in the first place.
- No video chat for Skype or GTalk. It’s not Samsung’s fault, but maybe they should nudge Google. After all, they do make a Nexus S for them, which also has a front facing camera.
- When connected to a PC, it doesn’t charge. What gives?!
Other than that, I think this is an excellent device. I hope that Samsung would upgrade this to Gingerbread at some point, and change the charging policy.
Do not compare this with an iPad (which I do own). They are completely different in apps and interface. I still don’t understand why people keep comparing the two, and always in search of an ‘iPad Killer’. iPad is a great product in its own merit, and so is Galaxy Tab 7 WiFi. I’d rather that these manufacturers just make products that perform well, instead of trying to kill others.
Update:
It does have GPS antenna and it functions well. I did a turn-by-turn navigation yesterday, and it worked perfectly. The trick is, you’d need an internet connection for the map to do navigation. I used a phone WiFi hotspot.
The internal memory is 16 gB, and the RAM is 512. It does not come with a Micro SD card but it does have the slot. So if you want to add the storage, you would have to buy your own and put it into the Micro SD slot.
I have not tried bluetooth yet. I might try that today.

Very useful device,
I wanted to wait for Galaxy Tab 8.9, but just decided to get this since I preferred 7 inch screen for more portability reason. This device is just half the size of iPad. I use this device for watching movies I downloaded which are divx, xvid, mkv codec movies. So far, I haven’t had any problem playing any types of movie files I have. It even plays .mkv file over 3GB. One thing to clarify on the other review is that connecting to PC USB port actually charges (but slowly) somehow status says it’s not being charged. Same thing happen when I connect to an external battery, it slowly charges, but status says it’s not being charged.
Pros:
-you can watch HD video in original format (divx, xvid, mkv, etc) without conversion.
-wifi-only version has GPS (unlike iPad). I installed MapDroyd(lets you download maps) for off-line navigation
-full support of Flash (so far, no issues accessing flash sites that I usually visit)
-SD card slot (for up to 32GB)
-comes with ThinkFree office (you can read .doc .pdf, and etc)
-you have choice of 3 app stores (Google Market, Amazon app store, Samsung app store) Samsung app for u.s. version has only few apps now, but hope it grows bigger
-portable size – you can hold with one hand, and it goes into your pocket
-you can connect to any pc to transfer the files (movies, musics, docs, etc) unlike iPad which requires iTunes.
Cons:
-Reader’s Hub is missing somehow.
-Proprietary connector instead of mini or micro USB
-most of the apps I installed work fine with the resolution, but a few apps are displayed smaller in the center (for example: Engadget app)
So far, I’m very happy with the purchase. I own iPad too, but recently I haven’t really used iPad because this tablet. I wish I get gingerbread upgrade for Galaxy Tab soon.

Honestly not worth it,
This was my first Android device. Probably won’t be the last, but it left a bitter taste in my mouth. I ended up returning the Tab after a few weeks with it. The problems were numerous.
1.) This is the most egregious. The Galaxy Tab Wi-Fi is dramatically lower spec’d than its 3G counterparts. Therefore, every review you can find online does not apply. It has an older generation processor (Arm v7 vs. Arm v8), the graphics processor is also a generation behind and dramatically lower in speed (530 vs. the 540). What does this mean to non tech geeks? The buttery smooth performance you see in reviews for the earlier Tabs is replaced by slow scrolling in webpages, the homescreen taking several seconds to work when you rotate the device, and games simply not working. I couldn’t believe Samsung would completely cripple the device like this but a casual glance at the product page produces this gem “features and specifications subject to change without prior notification”. It is absolutely insane a major tech company has that disclaimer on a product page, and the fact they don’t advertise the radical difference between the devices is shameful.
2.) Another major consequence is one of the coolest features of the 3G Tabs is not present here, HDMI out. HDMI out does not work on the Wi-Fi only version. Probably a result of Sammy putting the Wi-Fi only Tab a generation behind the 3G version.
3.) Finally, this really cemented my decision to return it. I can handle the inferior performance, grudgingly, but I can take it. I can’t handle the fact that this device is Wi-Fi only and it doesn’t properly connect to Wi-Fi. When I first got the device I had trouble connecting it to networks. After resetting it like 5 times and assigning a static IP address to it, it finally randomly worked. Then, after a couple of weeks and no change on my part I got the same connection problems! Now, after a few more resets, I finally had it. Less you think its just me, google Galaxy Tab Wi-Fi problems and marvel at how widespread they are.
Simply put, Samsung is launching new tablets next month (June 8th), and they’ve clearly given up on the current Tab despite it launching only a couple of weeks ago. Save your money and wait, I promise you this device will only bring frustration.
