Double post ahoy!

Had mine a few days now, very pleased with it. My only beef is more Android related than hardware related I think - given it's got a 1gb ram, I was expecting it to be much better with regard to multitasking, or rather keeping apps running when you want to switch back to them. Seems to flush out the browser with only a couple of tabs (this applies to stock browser and Dolphin HD) and close apps the moment I have 2 or 3 apps running - my most frequent apps tend to be a browser, gmail, gReader Pro and Mantano for ebooks.

Without wishing to start a tired old iOS v Android debate, my iPad2 with it's paltry 512mb of ram seems far better at keeping things running. Yes yes, I know in iOS it's (usually) not multitasking in the true sense, more save states, but my usage of the 7.7 is pretty much similar apps, merely Android flavoured and all save states as opposed to active background apps. Had the same issue with my Galaxy Note so, as I'm fairly new to Android, is this an OS issue or a Samsung one do you reckon?

Again, I must add I'm otherwise delighted with the 7.7.
 
Tbh, for my personal usage, not fussed about true multitasking on a tablet, it's strictly a consumption device for me. That said, there's serious room for improvement re: app switching.
 
Does this device do 4G on AT&T? I looked at one of the importers here in the U.S. that has it in stock and he says it will. But I don't see that in the specs.
