Initial Thoughts:

Pretty much every tablet out there these days have security so your siblings, nosy friends or a tablet thief can't access or erase your personal data. While the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus comes in 3G+WiFi and WiFi variants, we have the WiFi version and you can browse the internet and check email, social networks, YouTube and search to your hearts content - if you are connected to a WiFi network. The tablet is also able to play music, video, record video and take pictures as well as screenshots!

App Library - Noted

Widgets

The ability to take screenshots is awesome for something like App Pick of the Week and if you want to save something cool for later! Also, you're able to write or scribble on the screenshot if you wanted to make a note about something or point something out. You can even use it as an eBook reader if you're quite the bookworm. The Galaxy Tablet has five home screens to put apps and widgets on as you swipe through. With that being said, the tablet has a "My Apps" spot in the app library section.

Pictures and Description:

As you can see in the picture below that the Samsung Galaxy Tablet 7.0 is about the same size as a 3rd Generation Kindle and bigger than the Note.

Size Comparison

The default search engine is Google (obviously) and Samsung keeps search front and center on this device. The Google search bar floats on top and always stays on all the home screens that you can put widgets and apps on.

The social networks such as twitter and Facebook are in one column called the social hub. This is a nice straightforward method of displaying information from multiple feeds and it is the same on the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Note. The type of social network will appear on the post in the right hand corner.
