I had this, and traded it in and got the new 7.7 with the super amoled screen. And LOVE IT

I wish everybody would stop mindlessly praising the Galaxy Tab 7. It is NOT lightweight. It's HEAVY. Crazy heavy! When I opened the box, my first words were "OMG, this is HEAVY!" Seriously, it's astonishingly heavy. Why does everybody keep talking about how light it is? It isn't!
And it's slippery as a fish. Every spot on the thing is frictionless. It was flying out of my hands at every opportunity. I couldn't hold onto it! How was I supposed to? I couldn't hold it with both hands like a book. The edges of my hands were constantly touching the screen and turning things on and off. One-handed grip was impossible. It's too wide. Look at Kevin and Candace's hands. They're stretched to their limits. Try doing that for even a few minutes. And believe me, because of it's slipperiness, you have to GRIP IT HARD to keep it n your hand.
Just one evening of trying to read in bed with this thing, and my hands and lower arms hurt all the next day. NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Other problems:
- The on-screen keypad was useless. No touch feedback, clicks or anything. Keys crazy small.
- This was my first use of Android, and I did NOT like it. Lots of computing basics missing, particularly your basic network file sharing. Windows can do this. Mac can do this. What's the problem??
- It was constantly interrupting to get me to "activate" the phone service, which I have no need for.
- Lots of corporate software I couldn't uninstall or even turn off. Not cool.
- App market? No thank you! Just let me download and install what I want, LIKE A NORMAL OPERATING SYSTEM.
- Speakers are ok, but they're both on one side. What?
The picture was good. Internet and video support were fine, but what difference does it make when I can't even HOLD the stupid thing??
One-word summary: USELESS.

Samsung is still making the same mistakes almost every other tablet maker is making, the price is way to high! I don't understand how they haven't learned by mediocre sells from their other full size tablets, especially since the Kindle and Nook have come out as good tablets for much cheaper. If they would knock off $150 by losing the cameras and dropping the 1080p display down to 720p, this would probably be a buy for most. I would probably buy one, but I would like a 9 or 10' display. Too bad Samsung.

1024 by 600 resolution and it plays video at 1080p?
Isn't that a contradiction?
