The above answer is not totally correct. The Dell Streak DOES NOT have a better battery life. The Samsung Galaxy Tab battery capacity is rated almost double that of the Streak, giving you 8 hrs of use versus 4 hours of use.

Yes. Excellent WiFi. I brought two tablets. One still working good. It was a gift to someone else. The second one was mine but it locked up twice. The first time it locked up I reset it back to factory settings. The second time it locked up it was locked up for good. Sent it back and got a refund. I really liked that tablet wish it didn't lock up. I should have read the reviews first before buying.

I am not a "tech guy" and don't own a Galaxy Tab or any Android device. But this device will connect via network cable to a hotel room that supplies a wired ethernet connection and generate a strong wifi signal that you can then access from multiple devices including, in my experience, an iPhone and a Windows netbook.

Yes, I agree with B. Pease, if you have the option to purchase a more capable tablet, then go for it. But if you're like me and trying to stay budget and don't mind a little bit less performance in some more graphically demanding applications, then this Coby Kyros would suffice. If you don't find it on the built in app website, I recommend downloading the 1mobile app from 1mobile.com from your tablet, it's really nice.

Not enough info about Windows 8, atm. But at first glance, I want this because I want to be able to access normal Windows 7 programs. For Windows 8, it appears that the tablet form (ARM) needs a special version of the app and these won't be necessarily the same as their x86/x64 counterparts. So, yeah...I think I'll save up for the Samsung. It has pretty much everything I need.

Slightly but I would still stay away from this particular model and go with the newer version. When it was not in use and I turn on wifi it is quite slow connecting and I still can't use two wifi items without on being really slow. hope this got back to you in time

Displaying a single video steam is pretty resource-cheap on current (within the last 5 years) hardware.It really depends on what you want to do - is the Dell going to be a full-blown Windows Media Center or will you just watch shows via the HDHomeRun apps? Will you be using wired or wireless networking? IF wireless, is your access point DLNA-compatible (required)?FWIW, I'm able to use a 64GB Surface Pro and an Asus 202e to watch shows & videos just fine.

Ok, that is my problem. I want the one that can connect to Netflix and is wireless. Is there such a thing out there? The prices are almost the same so I would like to get the best version. It is getting late, I have to buy. Please help..

I called the Support line, they have no idea when they're going to get their shipment of the GT Wifi. If this was a Samsung trick to sell more 3G tabs, it doesn't make sense that they would be available at other stores. I'm sending a message to Amazon: Make sure you hound your suppliers to ensure you have a product at its launch date. I'm "voting with my dollars". Amazon just earned Tigerdirect.com $350.

@Jeff Barr 100% Agree with all that. For under $300, this thing is a beast of a tablet and for people that don't know the rooted custom roms (which is the custom android software you will run) are always much faster than the stock ones, so you'll likely be running as fast as many newer tablets out there. Rooted my phone and tether the two to get online as well, it's great!

Yep. So WifiBaby recommends an app. It costs about $13. I don't know why it couldn't come for free with monitor purchase. Anyway, there are also many free IOS and Android apps that are compatible.

AJ, etc. I currently have the new Samsung 6900. It does not have these issues at all, but I am in the process of returning to Amazon due to the fact that I can only get 4 mpps over wireless, yet I have a 20Mpps network. I ordered the Panisonic BD-85 which should arrive Wednesday. On the Samsung you CAN view and even search for movies in Netflix, then choose and watch and the GUI interface is fantastic. If the Pany won't do it, I'll be returning both. Guess I got a bad 6900 as it is CNET's best of 2010.

I didn't have this item long enough to answer your question as it didnt want to connect to wifi more then 5 feet from my modem and still was very slow and wouldn't fully allow me to sSync to my Google account...... so I figured you get what you pay for and realized you really cant go cheap on electronics.... I returned it and was only refunded partial of payment as there is a restocking fee, I ended up getting a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 instead....by far worth every penny and SO Much to offer, I take it everywhere.

I use my home wi-fi for everything...actually the range on the Acer 710 is better than my Laptop. I don't have an internet cell package...so I can't tell you anything about that.

The build quality of Samsung is not as good as Apple's. I have both an iPad and Galaxy tablet. My galaxy died within two months of light use. For your purposes, an iPad would be better. Samsung has more horsepower and better resolution; however, you don't need all that power for your basic needs. iPad is easier to use. You won't be able to distinguish the amount of resolution between the two.

Hi Dianne, thanks for the answer, but I dont use my Corby, as I found it to be utter JUNK,It was useless in picking up the wi-fi, I finally bought a 8" net book HD, quad core, has every port one needs, loads up super fast & works any where I need to use it, plus it only cost a mere £85,it`s even better than my 7" samsung tab2,that has no extra ports, one must use only S/sung bits.so that`s 2 tablets I have since dumped.Top names are never the best,that`s what you pay for? Thanks any way, my corby + the cover, plus my Tab 2 with blue tooth cover/key board is up for sale !!Good luck, & good bye. Sonny.
