Laptops beware
The Samsung Galaxy is a dynamic tablet. With its convenient design, it's got portability covered. Like the song says, big things come in small packages, and the Galaxy has huge capabilty. This tablet has a 1.3 MP front camera and a 3MP rear camera. But, what makes the Galaxy's rear camera stand apart is that it's built with both auto focus and flash. Better yet are the apps. The Galaxy comes pre-loaded with Samsung's new Media Hub and the Amazon Kindle e-reader. Media Hub gives you instant access to a broad selection of movies and TV shows that start playing while they download. With the Kindle e-reader, your favorite books, newspapers, and magazines are available with a touch of the screen. It's easy to access all your important documents with the Galaxy's ThinkFree Office, an app compatible with Microsoft programs like Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. It has the power of a laptop at a fraction of the size.
What's in the box?
The following items are included with purchase of the Samsung Galaxy 16GB WiFi: the Galaxy, a wall/USB charger, a pre-installed 16GB microSD card, a quick reference guide, and the product safety and warranty brochure.

Actually I was a little dissappointed in the product, I need to sign up to a phone service to activate the product and I did not want to pay for additional fees, so I returned the item, but Vanns was very gracious and gave me a refund. i like doing business with Vanns because they are dependable.

So you are trying to use your new tablet but you cant get past the activation screen and the buttons dont seem to work right. It keeps saying that activation failed. Well, you can override this by the following trick I found in the other review on this page. While in the Activation screen, push the volume switch up once, down twice, up 3 times and down 4 times and you avoid the activation routine and can move on to setup with wi-fi. Viola! It works great! Someone needs to tell the staff at the Vanns stores how to do this and then everyone will love their new toy!

Ive had this for just about a week and its truly a great product. Cant imagine having a 10 screen - the 7 is perfect for my hand. The Android operating system works well out of the box with only a few app shutdowns I have an Apple iPhone that shuts down more often than this tab. Setup with Google accounts makes this a breeze to work with. WiFi connection is great. One trick - bypassing the seemingly required activation Verizon version in my case. While in the Activation screen, push the volume switch up once, down twice, up 3 times and down 4 times and you avoid the activation routine and can move on to setup with wi-fi. Plenty of free apps in the Android Market matching what I have on the iPhone and they are more stable running on the Galaxy. The price I paid was fantastic. As with previous purchases, great service and great price. This is the perfect adder to a home system, a netbook, iPhones which we will replace with Android phones and now the tab.
