Tablets are the new thing in technology today, and there are so many different varieties of them that it’s unreal. I have chosen one to evaluate in this essay and that would be the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. I am used to using the iPad and am very familiar with their product and am not really familiar with the Samsung Galaxy. I recently purchased one and now I am going to determine the capacity of memory, the design, and the capabilities of this product. I have realized that this is an excellent option in the tablet area, and I am recommending it highly. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 has just recently been put on the market.

The looks of this tablet is definitely appealing and would draw the consumer to it. I am happy with the buy and feel that purchasing the newer iPad would not have satisfied me as much as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. I highly suggest at least trying this product out before deciding on a purchase of a tablet. In addition to all of the other aspects, of course the
