top 10 things why you bought this tablet or what you use it for?
Im not really 100% sure why i bought it but let me say its wonderful for a daily planner...

1. Wanted to try honeycomb on touch screen multitouch is fun.
2. Multimedia
3. Pdf files. Great for books for college!
4. Daily planner or note taking
5. Pretty nice for the gym wifi and bluetooth headphones! (still yet to try to document weight lifting plans)
6. Games
7. Ability to have a small computer like device with a larger screen then phone to loook up things
8. Wifi tablet.... Why do 3g and be restricted to one company when you can tether any phone company.?
9. Storage system... Wish it would connect thru bluetooth or wifi without additional software to use with mac at school....
10. Web browseing and research is nice... Wish typing was a lil easier maybe swype i shall try again?
11###? why dont they allow this at work..? I work at a hotel and setup rooms it be soo much easier to format material on a digital device vs paper not to mention paperless!!!!

Okay your turn!

10 things I use my tab for:

#1: (and main reason I purchased this tablet), to tinker with

#2: Play games
#3: Homework
#4: Video Chatting with family south of the boarder
#5: Watching Netflix on the go

#6: Drawing/Sketching for when paper and/or pencils/pens aren't available.
#7: Multimedia (MP3's, Movies, e-Reader, Browser, etc.)
#8: Managing e-mails
#9: Note taking
#10: GPS, since my 4" Epic 4G screen is a pain to look at when I'm driving. I just tether my phone, fire up GPS on my GTab7+, BOOM! I now have a nice 7" GPS screen instead of my phones puny 4"

1. Being deployed in Afghanistan I bought the P6200 for communication on the go. (cdma galaxy s2 is a paper weight here)
2. It was the best 7" tablet I could find that supports a sim card.
3. Love modding android devices which is a huge let down :-(
4. Multimedia type stuff, music movies etc.
5. Main form of communication back home via IM clients and Google voice.

One thing i'm very upset about it paid apps not being available in afghanistan.. Not even the ones I've paid for in the states. Besides that, I like the device so far and it is serving its purpose very well.

The main reason I purchased this tablet is that I thought a 7" device would prove to be a better firm factor for my needs.

1. Reading E-books
2. Planner
3. Notes
4. To-do list
5. RSS reader.
6. Browsing the web
7. Tinker with Android
8. Games
9. Music
10. Movies

So far I'm very happy with the form factor. I has proven to be much easier to read from and carry around at work than my I pad.

My P6200L

1. a Mobile Phone

2. web browsing

3. camera & gaming (not too often)

zetajunkie · Apr 29, 2012

Top 10 uses:

1. music player at work (poweramp), hooked up to a receiver
2. checking email
3. SWTOR security key app
4. web browsing/news reading
5. comic/pdf/ebook reader
6. netflix
7. gaming (with emulators)
8. watching movies/shows off sd card/network
9. remote desktop connection
10. make "music" w/ caustic app

Even with the tab's random issues, I'm more than satisfied with it. Lack of a definitive ICS release date doesn't bother me in the least bit, considering it handles the tasks I through at it with ease.

1 Just as a phone
2 Just as a pretty big phone
3 Make people around me laught to see me calling
4 Make people around me stare at me while calling
5 Make children around me smile while calling thinking about I'm a looser who can't enjoy an iPhone or a smaller device
6 Let my friends think "I'm just sick" why already having a Galaxy Note
7 Let my girlfriend say "I just spend in vain money on unnecessary things"
8 Let my colleagues kidding me such as "We would like to know and see where are you gonna keep it on summer with no pockets"
9 By the way to be cool

10 To say Police that I wasn't calling while driving (here it's not permitted) 'cuz heyyyyy... It's just a tablet not a phone
