Default New here and have a few questions

Hi there....just bought a gtab 10.1 I think it is too big.....but need some opinions. I have a smart phone that I love, and it does everything that the tab does. I like the idea of the tablet, I have 3 year old and she loves the games for it. Do you think I could do all of this from the 8.9? I bougt the 32, but think when and if I exchange it will be for the 16. I wont put any music on it, and probably not many pics. I have no idea of how to put movies on it. So I'm not sure I will need all that space. Anyone got from the 10.1 to the 8.9?

I had the 10.1 and returned mine for the 8.9 and could not be happier.

Good idea. For me, 8.9 is just the right size. Good luck!

I spent two hours at Best buy playing around with both the 8.9 and the 10.1. I went in knowing that they both had the same specs and was going for comfort alone. The 8.9 is just so much more comfortable to use, especially when couch surfing while watching television. My 6 yr old has no trouble handling it for games or the occasional cartoon movies I put on it for her. I couldn't be happier.

8.9 is the way to go.

If you dont plan on using it to carry a lot of stuff, 16gb is fine. Im quite a power user and I have a 16gb tab (they didnt have the 32 in stock for me.) It's not often i find my self wishing for more space.

I use it primarily for
Manga (Manga Reader app)
Anime and foreign film (crunchy roll app, mobo player with arm7 codecs)
GPS Navigation (tethered to my evo)

I would love to see more 8.9" tablets on the market. Some competition would be nice.
