Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" by Scott-Forest (Jan, 2013)The front camera is vga, thats right, thats what cell phones came with when they first started getting cameras... Wow... Thats sad... They must have had a surplus laying around and didn't know what to do with them.
processor
Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" by The Verge (May, 2012)Like the 7.0, it has solid but unspectacular specs (a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 1280 x 800 TFT display, 16GB or 32GB of internal storage, dual cameras), plus Android 4.0, all for a very reasonable $399.99.
