When I plug in my usb...kies

[katinsc]

I use the usb to transfer epubs and music, by selecting mass and mount.
but the other two choices I see are media and kies.
Not sure when to select media and not sure what kies is..
I am really knew with driod devices, will someone tell me when I use the other two, and why ....

I've never used the media option, so I've no idea exactly what it does.

But Kies is a Sumsung application that you install on your PC that links it to your Galaxy tab. It does a few clever things like ripping music CDs to install on your tab, but the only essential thing I can see is that you need kies to update the firmware on your tab....there was an update fairly recently.

If you're in the US, you won't need Kies. I was told any updates for us would be OTA updates.
