Can add me to owner list...well, i am not the owner....more like technical support....i bought one for my wife on Sunday....actually i wanted to wait for Ipad3...but wife kennot tahan oready....furthermore, she needs to copy files here and there...Ipad will sucks max with the ridiculous itunes crap.....furthermore, 7.7 is way more sexy, lighter and just the right size for wife.

Oh well, at least the 7.7 is promised Ice Cream Sandwich. Maybe i buy Ipad3 for myself next time....smile.gif

The good thing, i can transfer my Android paid apps bought on my SGS2 to the Galaxy Tab FOC...thumbup.gif...Does apple allows same app to goes to multiple device???

Used for a few days. So far so good, no problems. Everything seems to work fine. I find the performance of this tab is better than my SGS2, very few lags and better response all around.(maybe slightly better hardware or thanks to Honeycomb 3.2?)

Only complaint is some of the apps the fonts size too small and can't resize....i guess it's app dependant....one problem of the Android market...apps still not really optimized for tablet.

Maybe ICS will fix some of these issues.

Thanks. Anyone knows any reliable selling this in the forum??

bTW, i found a problem. For some reason, i can't transfer FLV files via bluetooth from other devices (SGS2, laptop) to the tab 7.7! But it has no problem transfering to other devices! Weird...other files ok, just the FLV. I browse the internet and found a solution by downloading an app called "Bluetooth File transfer"..but the problem with this app it just save the file to the first level of the folder instead of the buetooth folder.

Tested WIFI direct to transfer from my SGS2 also no problem (btw, WIFI direct is blindingly fast!!! Only 2 seconds to transfer 16MB..bluetooth takes forever..)....it's only when trying to send to it via bluetooth, the FLV files will fail (if the 3rd party app not activated)....Usually, when you send a file via bluetooth to the tab, it'll pop up a notification asking you to accept the transfer...but when sending the FLV file...nothing happens. On my SGS2, i got a failed message saying the file was rejected by the galaxy tab 7.7...... rclxub.gif

Anyone has this strange problem????

Wat uncle benny said is wright...
If u dont really understand android n 7.7, pls do not give silly comment here...
as my ipad2 now is staying at home after i bought my 7.7...

I yam very glad bought tab 7.7 for wife. She loves it, crystal sharp screen (compare ipad2...yuck...blurry low res screen...l), most importantly, she can easily transfer her photos and powerpoint slides to/from PC/Handphone (Bada Wave2!!) and Tab. I don't think Ipad can do that without itunes...also, where no internet access...Ipad as good as dead... tongue.gif

In that case, i suggest u go to the the nearest celcom center and book for a tab. Yeap.. Mine is ready stock. Beside, the telco dillema is depend on ur most stayin area. I am sure the other telco should be no prob in ur area if digi line is worst. And both of them offer packages as low as rm48 per month. In term of device's price there is not much different.

I nvr had an ipad but i have an iphone and other android phone. To be honest, i love my android phone more than iphone. U can fully customize the widget. If u dont mind seeing the same boring icon widget everyday, u can take the ipad. And googling around u could find tons of reason why tab is better than ipad.

In public? I dont hv problem carrying around a 7 inch rather than 10 inch tablet. There are 1 or 2 of pant even fit with this baby. But most of the time im carrying it. I dont used blutooth as im comfortable with it.

I think this baby should get the marketing gimmick, "table? Phone?" and not galaxy note. Coz note is still a phone size in my point of view.
*
Note too freaky huge for phone lar...in fact...the S2 size is really the max for me, any bigger don't make sense for a phone. But seems like new quad core phones even bigger...4.7" for HTC ONE X and maybe S3....sigh...WTF....

afraid when u plan to buy samsung or other kimchi brands, their reputation for after-sales has been bad.
their focus is always on generating new sales and new customers.
for example, slow and painful upgrade (galaxy S can no longer receive ICS). in comparison, iphone 3s still can use ios.

I heard the ios5 running on 3GS lags badly from some feedback. Can defined as "can use"??

yes, only for U.S...

same trick as if you are using Kindle outside malaysia. u must set up a Amazon account as a "U.S citizen".. haha.. means, your personal details, especially billing address must be U.S address. i'm using my current address here in NY, so i manage to access Kindle library..

I think it check your credit card too, if malaysia credit card, don't think it'll work....anyone can confirm?

Hey... all of a sudden it works! I'm now able to connect to 3G. Not sure what actually happened previously but yeah...it works now.  smile.gif  Thanks for all the help.

Does the screen get scratched easily? I'm too lazy to get a screen protector. I actually have a Samsung P3 mp3 player and the screen is so strong it wont scratch no matter what. So I'm wondering if they're using similar screens...

No gorilla screen here. Better use SP.

Can use wifi, but devices have to support wifi also.

Go check out Harvey Norman, should have demo unit. They setup Tab10.1 as remote.

Your TV got wifi??? notworthy.gif

What they setup there is probably using DLNA if i am not wrong. DLNA is not remote, It simply stream files from compatible source to compatible player on the network. I can already do that years ago using old Samsung Omnia 2 with my WDTV Live....(and it also works with SGS2).

Just go take a look. It's remote as you can control the TV's function, change channel, change input and such. Not just DLNA.

Of course, I didn't press the Power Off button la. biggrin.gif

Yeah, just checked a bit, either wifi or bluetooth is possible..but again...how many people has a TV equipped with wifi??

Btw, from what i know...the 7.7 in some countries comes with IR transmitter...unfortunately, ours dun have....SONY Slate got IR transmitter, but the software only works with SONY equipment....(but i think 3rd party app able to make it use with other brands).

Samsung will update Galaxy Tab 7.7 to ICS 4

Talk forever...my SGS2 G still no ICS update. Anyway, from HoneyComb to ICS, not such a big deal. In terms of delivering software update, HTC is still much better. All the HTC Sensations already have the promised updates and performs significantly better too.

btw guys, do you find the font size for some apps too small? Is there anyway to make the font size bigger?

any phone will hang if you do not know how to use it, 7.7 is the 4th android phone and it never hang. even DHD is running DAMN SMOOTH. but when my friend used it, it HANGED like hell.  doh.gif

Not an excuse actually...but Android do tend to hang....what bs tend to hand "do not know how to use it"...doh.gif....please lar....fanboy talking, just accept it will hang when encounter certain situation. I have 3 Androids in the house..all Samsung...

No perfect phone...flexibility+multitasking=very likely to hang. Pause and play OS like iOS,WP, Bada will tends to be more stable.
