Hi!! my BB and Ipod has a new BFF. Meet the latest addition to the family, my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 :) It's a joined birthday gift from my parents and Lan and I'm a very happy camper....
Anyways after 3 months of campaigning for the new iPad, I did a total 360 degrees, when hubby brought me out to buy the tablet on my birthday. Spent almost 2 hours circling iMachines, Harvey Norman and Celcom but I wasn't able to decide on the iPad. For someone who usually make split decision purchases the fact that I'm hesitant wasn't a good sign. I can tell Lan was a bit pissed but if I'm gonna spent good money on something it better be worth it :p
One thing that put me off the new iPad is the size. I want the tablet to act as a travelling companion thus it must fit in my handbag. The iPad does fit my bag but just barely. Even worst due to the new changes the new iPad is slightly heavier than iPad2. Yes the new OS is faster, resolution is clearer and the camera takes better pictures but that is what my DSLR is for, right? So I went home empty handed that day because I just can't make up my mind.
During our iPad "test drive" in Harvey Norman I stumbled on the SG Tab 7.7. I was all "heeyyyy me like you :p" it is half the size of an iPad and not as heavy. It uses the new Android OS Honeycomb, the camera is just so-so as compared to the new iPad but it supports all of the apps that I'm currently using in my iPod touch so I was slowly liking the idea of the tab. Hubby "pooh-pooh" my idea because he wanted me to get the iPad but as much as I love him he's just not much of a gadget person to be taken seriously (haha I'm so mean) So after we went home, I googled for reviews and asked around. I got pretty much good responses so made up my mind and bought it the next day :) It cost as much as the new Ipad so why not,huh?
I've been using my tab for a week now and I'm happy with it. Some of the apps are really useful. Contrary to popular belief I don't use my tab JUST to play games (haha) I've downloaded some useful toddler apps for Ryan and a baby tracker for Iman and Ranya. Will review some of the really cool ones when I have the time.
On Turning A Year Older...
