I thought that all of the Galaxy Tabs came as 3G/4G units. I guess I am mistaken.
I'll throw one more into the mix for you if you are interested ASUS trransforer prime. We have this unit, why I liked it is it has a Tegra 3 Quad core processor and it runs Android 4, also known as ICS (Ics Cream Sandwich).

Good luck with whatever your decision, +1 absolutely loves having a tablet.

 

You are right...I think it's 4G. The ASUS is a good one, too. Part of the reason I'm hesitating is that I don't want to become one of those people who has his/her head buried in a device all the time, particularly on the subway and walking around. Taking it on travel would be the main reason I get it, but I'm thinking I will also use it at home instead of the desktop. I've never replaced my laptop since it died and I refuse to update my antique cellphone.

 

The local Fry's electronics store had a Coby 7" pad for less than $100 last Saturday. It has Android 4.0. I all ready know how to use Android since my cell phone uses Android. For that price, I can use it for a year and throw it away if I'm sick of it. It is wi-fi only, but so far I haven't felt too limited by the wi-fi only aspect of it.

I had some misgivings about carrying around a 12" pad or even a 10" pad, so the 7" one works fine for me. It fit just fine in my old Nook leather case. I also ordered a case with small keyboard, but my fingers are almost exactly the same size as the keys, so any mishit turns into multiple hits on the keyboard. so I don't use it too much.

 

Well, I bit the bullet and bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 - 4G. They had the 32 GB for the same sale price as the 16 GB. Now to learn how to use it. Shouldn't take long.

 

i've been using my Galaxy 10.1 tablet since November.

i like how it seamlessly integrated with my android account (ie phone) - someone in new england once said tables are to see / laptops are to do..

i love it for surfing the net, quick emails, recipes, 10.1 inch gps & media player on my dash and a few other things but i still love my laptops for other things

the kid loves it for angry birds however $500.00 is a lot for a video game..

never really enjoyed apple stuff as I find the who itunes thing not very initiative

if mine broke outside of warranty – not too sure I would buy another one

 

LOL just saw your post after i was responding to the old one.. let me know if you have any questions with your new toy and i'll do my best to help

 

Thanks for your comments. I won't be using it all that much, either, I don't think. I still have my desktop at home and a computer at work. Mainly to take on trips. I just decided it was time I moved into the 21st century, slowly.

 

i keep mine right by my tv - it's great responding to work emails 24/7

 

Thats what you think. I thought so too when I bought my Ipad. I find that it's so convenient to use that I don't turn on my regular computer nearly as much and I spend most of my Internet and e-mail time(which is most of the time we spend on our home computers) on the Ipad.

You're going to be amazed by how much you use it.

 

Think not !!!! I have my desktop, ( 2 monitors ) my laptop, my work PC...at the office...

......... ...and my iPad....!!!!! Well, the laptop has not been turned on since I bought this "THING" ....( a year ago ) that I was going to use when I traveled.... It never leaves my side !!!! You will come to find the same.
