Do More on the Go with the Galaxy Tab™

Just wonder if Samsung can roll out in future a battery-powered portable LCD (e.g.9-inch) like a Galaxy Tab but without CPU processing power, which acts as a bigger touch screen piggybacking a mobile phone to mimick a tablet at lower price and reduce redundancy of computer electronics in both phone+tablet nowadays.

I am a middle aged, fairly tech-savy consumer. I researched wi-fi tablets for months before I bought my wi-fi only Galaxy Tab 7. This tablet meets ALL of my requirements. It surfs the net fast and the size is PERFECT for a person on the go. A 10.1 screen is a nice luxury if you are sitting on the sofa but I needed a tablet to be handy and come with me. A 7" tablet is the perfect size to slip in my back pocket when I get out of the car and leaves my hands free. When I want to surf I hold it in landscape orientation and use my fingers and pinkies as an easel. I use my thumbs to type, scroll through web pages and pinch to zoom. The Galaxy Tab shows me popular websites in mobile form but even when I switch to desktop site is renders the page well and seems to fit it to the screen size and I can view an almost full width web page and still read it easily with my middle aged eyes. This tablet works flawlessly with many popular web sites and I tested it with The Drudge Report, The Wall St Journal, Amazon and eBay and because it is a touchscreen the response and experience is much more immediate than using a physical keyboard and mouse. In portrait orientation I can surf, scroll and type while holding it one handed. This is almost impossible with a larger tablet. Being an Android device allows me to customize it to make my experience more personal and work better for me according to my taste. After playing around with numerous apps I can say that a few besides the typical email and social network apps make this device VERY useful.Thinkfree Office and DropBox are amazing tools for some productivity on the go. Two apps have made my Galaxy Tab SING and have given new usefulness to my older HTC Magic phone. Boat Browser Mini is the simplest, fastest feature packed browser which I use CONSTANTLY and the new TouchPal Keyboard makes me a lightning fast communicator. I text at a snails pace on older cell phones but this app is FAST....and its second screen to manipulate text such as highlighting,cutting and pasting is the best I have ever used. If I had to pick one feature that I wish my Galaxy Tab had, it would be a truly transflexive screen like the one being made by Pixel Qi to give it almost an ePaper look outdoors as well as vastly improving battery life by being able to turn off the backlighting......but I am happy to report that I can get enough brightness in full sun to get good use out of my Galaxy Tab by just changing the angle of my Tab to shade it a little. An external usb 2.0 and usb mini would have been handy too for using peripherals and flash drives. I am lucky that I do not experience any of the issues that carrier specific Tab owners seem to have. As long as needed updates are provided by Samsung to keep up with progress on the internet, I should be able to use this tablet easily as my primary device while on the go for a few years to come. Good job Samsung! Chris V. Keene NH, USA

After 5 month of trying very hard I still have a very hard time to use the tablet. I received very little help from any Verizon store, in fact, most of the technician have very little experience with it themself. Sometimes it will not connect or work, very user unfriendly. I bought it because of the smaller size but I am ready to get the Apple 2 tablet. I am very unhappy about this product. Only if you have extensive experience it might work for you
