1. INPUT problem: Unlike Toshiba or Motioncomputing where the tablet is sensitive only to the tip of a digital pen, Samsung tablet is like a pocket PC and responsive to all touches. The consequence is operational difficulties. For example, when your stylet points at the input site (e.g., internet address site), the keyboard icon does not automatically appear to open up the keyboard pannel. You must touch the keyboard icon at the bottom near the START to open and close the keyboard pannel at the bottom of the screen. Handwriting is virtually impossible (lagging and imprecise); I suspect the CPU is too weak to keep up with the stroke and recognition. As a result, other than an external keyboard attached via USB port, you cannot type extensively or easily.
2. If you use Microsoft Reader, you don't have a button to flip the page. You have to use a stylet to touch the forward botton to flip a page.
3. Booting takes a long time relatively speaking.
4. There is no buit in slot for a stylet. Instead, you slide it into the pocket in the hand strap (loop). The stylet tip is rubbery and does not glide well on the screen.
5. The screen is a touch screen, sensitive to your fingers, but the screen is too small to operate with your finger. Also, you can accidentally touch the screen on, unless you lock the start button.
6. SD slot does not have a spring clicks. As result, it is difficult to eject. You have to pinch it out.
7. Display resolution is limited. Other options are impractical and becomes fuzzy.
The only thing you can do OK with this tablet is to browse online. Forget about texting.
Samsung has still a long way to go. HP iPAQ is much better despite the small size.Get more detail about Samsung 7-Inch UMPC with Touchscreen.
