Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus by atejedor (Feb, 2012)I think 7' is the right size for almost everything (I use it to see movies and the screen size is plenty).
Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus by The Verge (Nov, 2011)In fact, the top- and bottom-edge navigation was a lot easier to get to on a display this size than the larger Honeycomb tablets.

Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus by Hermit58--hermit58The cameras are great - very high resolution for a tablet.
Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus by The Verge (Nov, 2011)The 3-megapixel rear camera won't replace your point-and-shoot or even a nicer smartphone, but provided you hold steady, you can get some decent stills.
processor
Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus by The Verge (Nov, 2011)Thinner, lighter, slimmer, sleekerCompare this: Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus vs. Kindle Fire, Nook Tablet, and more Not everything is an upgrade The full Honeycomb experience with minimal TouchWiz Use the 7.0 Plus as a universal remote for your home theater A snappy dual-core 1.2GHz processor and 1GB RAM — but still intermittent stutters A worthy but imperfect upgrade "Samsung's tablets are like fitted suits.
Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus by The Verge (Nov, 2011)Samsung thankfully gave the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus a 1.2GHz dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM, which means there isn't much we can throw at the device that it can't handle.

Screen
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus 32 GB | Rated 80% by by Harley-HeadThe screen was gorgeous and Samsung's TouchWiz user interface is top notch with actual useful widgets, not just useless eye candy.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus 32 GB | Rated 80% by by Hermit58--hermit58I love my iPod 4G Touch, but my single old eye is getting older.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus 32 GB | Rated 70% by by The Verge (Nov, 2011)It's not perfect — the viewing angles could be much better and there's some menu stuttering here and there — but the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus does everything its larger siblings can do but in an even more portable format, which is in and of itself and achievement.
Apps
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus 32 GB | Rated 100% by by Hovannes-Abramyan (Feb, 2012)Samsung also inserted their custom user interface "TouchWiz," which consists of some added features (like an extra tray with quick apps) and a few pre-installed apps.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus 32 GB | Rated 100% by by atal72 (Jan, 2012)Even when I am uploading music to the Google Music Cloud from my PC which simultaneously syncs it to the Google Music App on my tablet, it moves nicely.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus 32 GB | Rated 100% by by Charles-K-Bludworth (Jun, 2012)The dual core is fast and while it took a while to get used to the new honeycomb Android system, I now work through it seamlessly and enjoy the improvements.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus 32 GB | Rated 100% by by Q (Feb, 2012)Android's tablet OS is far superior to iOS on the iPad so I thought I had made a great purchase.
Operating system
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus 32 GB | Rated 100% by by Camera-user (Feb, 2012)That's a Skype issue and keep in mind that Skype is now owned by Microsoft so I think its days on any other platform (Apple, Linux or Android) are numbered.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus 32 GB | Rated 40% by by GoodSeal (Nov, 2012)At this time I would recommend steering clear of the Samsung tablets and hope for better software support with another brand.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus 32 GB | Rated 80% by by KB--KB (Feb, 2012)It's a bit odd to ship a new device with outdated software, and not even offer an update.
Web browser
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus 32 GB | Rated 100% by by SuJaBet (Mar, 2012)I did download a Dolphin browser, but so far, I use the included browser the most.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus 32 GB | Rated 80% by by SmartShopper--SmartShopper (Apr, 2012)Web browsing is "good enough" I would say (more on that below)-a bit small, but zooming is easy.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus 32 GB | Rated 100% by by J.-Thomas (Apr, 2012)I really hope Samsung releases ice cream sandwich very soon for it if only for the chrome beta browser.
