Hi there.. I've been looking into getting a tablet for a while now & I've loved the Tab ever since it came out.

I've just started a business & can get the Samsung Galaxy Tab (7") on a business plan, which is about
 
I just purchases the 7" tab from VERIZON and I prefer this over the bigger tablets. If I wanted a bigger tablet I might as well get a note book plus the feel of the smaller in my hands is great.
 
:mad: I've read on several forums that Google's license for the new OS stipulates that it is aseparate license....meaning those of us with the 7inch tablet will not be allowed to upgrade to the new OS! Most sites, developers, apps are being created for the new 10inch tablet with the new OS. For instance, here in the US, you can get CNN streaming live on your tablet if you have OS 3.0 or higher. The 7inch tablet has Froyo (2.2) so we are just out of luck.

I think it's pretty stinky to have made people pay $500 and up for a tablet that was, first, jury-rigged to block voice services so you need BOTH a cell phone and a tablet SIM and contract (instead of both being available via the tablet), and, now, a unit that is not upgradable to the latest OS virtually turning it into just another portable game player for the kids because everyone is developing stuff for the new OS! I'm sorry I bought this 7inch tablet and I'm sure not going to reward Samsung or Gooogle by going out and buying another one! I'm tired of this game they play charging top dollar for hardware only to have it become obsolete months later and requiring you to (over)pay again for more hardware.
