thinking of this as an xmas prezzy for the motherinlaw. that or the samsung galaxy tab 2

anyone got one and if so how would you rate it?

I have one, love it! There was a common issue whereas the device randomly reboots - under stock. But changing the rom on it resolved it for me - I'm not sure if they've fixed the stock rom.

Screen is awesome! No SD card slot which is a pain - so I went for the 32gb version.

Got my missus the Galaxy Tab last chrimbo, its a great tablet, better than my cheapo tab.

No SD card slot which is also a pain, although you can get an adaptor

We've got a galaxy tab 2 and a galaxy tab 3. Both have SD slots so not sure why yours doesn't.

Little flap out window on the left hand side takes a micro SD.

Currently you can get a Galaxy Tab 3 7 inch 8gb from Tesco for £119 which is a bit of a bargain.

Ah yes, you're right, I'm thinking about no mini USB slot or mini HDMI portm which my tab has

Don't forget that you can connect usb memory sticks to android jelly bean devices using an OTG cable.

Tab2 has proprietary connector and also needs a high-power power supply. You can use an adapter to make it into a normal USB connector but not had to do this during our ownership.

Tab3 has micro USB and will use any old power supply so gets a bit easier.

We just use "cloud storage" for everything these days so rarely need to use a USB.

I have a transformer tf300 which abounds with connectivity, both mini sd in the tab, sd in the keyboard, micro usb on the tab, full usb in the keyboard. But.....

The power adapter presents itself as a usb port to which you then install a custom usb to power connector cable. What they don't tell you is this is 15v yes fifteen volt. So don't use that usb power adapter to power any other device. and you cannot use other mains-> usb adapters to charge the transformer.

Cloud storage is a joke. We do not have global affordable hi speed mobile networking. I carry my music on a couple of 64GB cards. I plug a 3TB disk into the pad as and when I want to load anything to the internal storage rather than transfer by wifi. But last holiday I took a selection of films with me on a 2.5" drive and loaded what ever I wanted at the time. Far better than the €100/24hr the hotel wanted for internet.

I normally leave that 3TB drive plugged into the 20 quid android dongle in my TV. that way all my film and music download is permanently available at the flick of a wireless mouse/keyboard/tv remote

Love my Nexus 10, use it all the time, never had any issues with it, ended up buying a Nexus 4 when I needed a new phone as it impressed me so much, parents have a 7 as well now..
