Samsung Galaxy Tablet Accessories
First released at the tail end of 2011, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus marked a notable improvement over the original Galaxy Tab, thanks to the slimmer build, addition of Android 3.0: Honeycomb, and significantly lower entry price of $400.
In the time since, Samsung has pushed its smaller tablet offerings forward another notch with the introduction of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, which offers some modest enhancements over the Plus and Android 4.0: Ice Cream Sandwich installed out of the box, and does so at a much more appealing rate of just $249.
As such, paying anything near the starting price for the Galaxy Tab
7.0 Plus at this point would be a mistake, though refurbished models are
still out in the open for much less. And with Ice Cream Sandwich just
(finally) released for the tablet within the last week, we decided to
take a fresh look at this still-capable option.
Looking much like a
squeezed-down iPad with a Samsung logo in place of a home button, the
Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus (Wi-Fi) is a slim seven-inch tablet that feels
pretty good in the hand, and features a slightly wider bezel on the
sides than the Nexus 7, offering a little more holding room for
one-handed reading.
