I'd pretty much agree with this. I have an iPad too.

So people would recommend a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1?. How well does it play You Tube videos and view storage cards, flash memory sticks and USB HDD?

Android has its own Youtube App and it plays the videos perfectly well.

I personally would only recommend a Galaxy tab 2 if you only wanted to spend £200 on a 10" tablet, I would prefer an Ipad as it would compliment my Iphone and Macbook but that is only my opinion and well over £100 more expensive (and to some more restrictive). I bought my Galaxy Tab as a gift for a 5 year old last christmas and with the cashback offer it only cost £180 so a no brainer.

Ok the Galaxy Tab on Amazon costs £220 or £252 with extras and would compliment my Samsung phone. The nexus costs over £310.

Can I insert a SD Card, USB Flash drive or a USB HDD Drive to my tab and it can play videos and music

Yes you can put an SD card into the tab and you can play music and videos off of it. There is a slot for the SD card. I have a 32gb SD card in mine and it works just fine. I can view all my content.


To use a USB pen you need an adapter like this one.

I have this one and it works just fine.

Or you can use this much cheaper on the go cable

I'm not sure that a USB HDD would work though.

Can you check for me.

I don't have an external hard drive so I can't check if it would work sorry. I doubt it would work because it doesn't even recognise a kindle as an external device.

I have had the Nexus 7 16gb tablet about 11 months now and I just love it. I got the Nexus 4 nearly a week ago now and so far im very happy with that also.

When it says 4 x Zoom on the Samsung Tab Specs does this mean that you can zoom when using camera?

It does, yes

How does the Zoom work and does this come in a black version?

@cmorris

I do suggest that you have a look at the Samsung website and the numerous video reviews on YouTube. It will answer ALL your questions and byou will be able to decide if it's right for you.

Just did a quick Google search and yes there is a black version. Also the zoom works digitally and will be controlled by the touchscreen in the camera app.

Please don't use your tablet to take photos as it looks silly.

I've seen people at gigs do that, it looks quite daft.

To zoom you push you two fingers away to zoom in and towards you to zoom out.

You seem to be answeing your own questions now

I think I am veering towards a Samsung Galaxy - Walk before you can run

I also have the ipad2 and GTAB 2.The tab2 is a nice tablet and does things well all in all.Its robust and well made.Also the battery life is pretty good.You wont be sorry if you buy one.

Would I be able to use the 32GB Scandisk Micro SDHC Card

in my Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 Mobile phone in order to take more photos or will it damage this.

As long as the Ace 2 takes Micro SDHC cards then yes it will work.

My partner is looking to get the Galaxy Tab 2 10" as she has read various good reports of battery life on it, but cannot seem to find any information on how badly the battery drains when a Bluetooth keyboard is connected to it whilst online ?. I know that most Bluetooth keyboards can be recharged, but wasn't sure how badly the Tab 2 drains whilst the Bluetooth protocol is activated.

Can anyone here advise ?

Thanks

Why would you think it may damage it?
