Recommendations for a Tab

Hi there QLers,

I'm considering buying a Tab very soon, and am a bit confused over the ones on offer. I've narrowed it to the new Ipad and the Galaxy Tab (but not sure which one!).

Further points should help you give me a clear advice:

- It will be used while traveling, so basic standard facilities like email, Office softwares etc should be easy to use.
- Must be able to make calls/video calls.. 3G + WiFi
-domestic Usage will be limited to viewing photos, playing music, FM.
- Won't be a heavy app user
- Connectivity should be easy. (eg: USB, Bluetooth etc)

I checked the samsung Tab, but their site isn't too clear on the comparison.

Would love to hear your relevant views on this request. Thanks!

etjayasinghe,FlyingAce, damsel,,iguy421,jihad.marei: Thank you very much for your kind inputs.

@FlyingAce: I have an S3, so buying the Note would be superflous.

I guess the Tab 7.7 does seem an appropriate buy for me.

Thanks again! :)

i have ipad, samsung galaxy 10.1 and smasung galaxy 7.7.

so from experience i would strongly recommend 7.7 it is GSM and capable to do almost everything, above that the graphics is super amelod which is similar to the ipad.

the add value which i consider it a huge advantage is that you can buy with 47 qar 4in1 adapter for the 7.7 so you can connect USB to your device (copy/past) or wireless mouse with keyboard

it is amazing just go with 7.7

hope i clarified things for you.

I suggest you go for galaxy tab, just like what they said above, you can make phone/video call and still connect to the net.

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab, It has Voice/Video Calls, 3.5 MP Camera, & a Secondary Camera for Skype/Video Calls, Wifi, 3G. Bluetooth...

It has 16GB Build in Memory, & can add more memory using Micro SD Card...

Tab runs PDF Files, Office Files as well....

iPad is not a Option if you are opting for Voice Calls as well...

Why don't you go for Samsung Note???
