Samsung - Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 - 8GB - Titanium Silver

Purchased: 4/22/2012 Location: Algonquin, IL Best Buy I was a bit weary of this tablet running a Texas Instruments OMAP chip and not Samsung's Exynos, but then again, the Galaxy Nexus is running OMAP and that is Google's current flagship phone. I really like Exynos. At any rate, the Galaxy Tab 2 passed /my/ test with flying colors, or it was the OMAP that actually passed the test. What would that test be? It plays my ripped blu-ray movies like a champ. They are encoded in high profile 1080p. This is something that other chips struggle with, except for Exynos. Tegra 2 is the worst for this. Playback of this video is very fluid on the Galaxy Tab 2. Sure, it does not have a HD display, but then again it was $250. The picture is still great. Anyone who has intimate knowledge of Android knows that stock builds are usually a little sluggish, etc. We always hope for the developers to cook up some nice, debloated, and speedy ROMS. I am patiently waiting for someone at my favorite dev site to cook up a lite de-TouchWiz'd ROM. Apps to SD would be a major win here as well. Right now the LCD density reminds me a bit of the HTC Flyer, which was a dog. Root would allow me to change this as well. For now, the Galaxy Tab 2 is king of the economy tablets. Buy it! In the picture: - Galaxy Tab 2 resting on a paper clip stand. It works great on any device. Do a Google search on "Dean and Ying's Blog - iPhone Paper Clip Stand" for instructions. - I am running ADW Launcher EX and have installed the ICS theme as well as the Honeycomb theme. I am currently running the Honeycomb theme and using an ICS wallpaper. The clock and weather are HD Widgets. ADW Launcher EX along with the ICS and Honeycomb themes, and HD Widgets can all be found in the Google Play Market. If you have any questions let me know!

I bought this tab for my 9 year old son. I own the galaxy note 10.1 and a galaxy s 2, my son always wanted to play with my devices, so I decided to get this one for him I really like it because it is small it has a front and back camera, great battery life, expandable memory via micro sd up to 32gb, it is a universal remote control and I have it linked to my account on my tablet so I know all the apps he searches and has on his device. I Also put a safe browser so he doesn't have to be looking at things he is not suppose to. Great value tab! Recommend A+

This is a gift for my 2 year old. He loves the programs I have added. He has learned a lot.

Bout this toy for my 2 yrs old son. Downloaded some puzzle apps, netflix etc. Great time killer and much cheaper then my note 2.

I love being able to read books on the tablet having the convience of accessing the internet

I bought this tablet for my 10years old son and I think it was a good buy

I would recommend Best Buy and this tablet to anyone.

I bought two for my autistic kids, then one for my eldest daughter. They love them. It is fairly easy to figure out (except that photo transfer part). I like the fact that I can disable the internet connection feature on the tablet, so I don't have to worry about where they surf as I am driving, or they take them into their bedrooms out of my supervision. I see the price is going down again. This is really a great value, though. The battery life is pretty good. I charge the tablets every night, and I cannot think of a time so far the kids have had to shut down due to low battery. Being a mom to two autistic kids, I have heard for some time how the iPad had such fantastic apps and helps and programs for those with autism, but with the price being nearly twice what this Galaxy pad is, and with my buying for each one of my kids, I could easily spend nearly a thousand dollars very quickly, I bought THREE tablets, screen protectors, and cases for UNDER that.
