According to the CEA, this holiday season is going to be a busy one for tablets. The tablet is the most desired electronic item on holiday wish lists in 2012. If you're looking for a small tablet, it's hard to beat the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7-inch for $179.99, but if you're looking for something a little larger, also of the Android variety, check out Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1.
For Black Friday/Cyber Monday, Amazon is knocking $50 off the price (with free shipping). Check it out here:
But the deal gets even better if you combine it with Amazon's SD card bonus. Buyers of the Note tablet also get a free Samsung 16GB Class 10 microSD card so you'll have even more room for your favorite photos, songs, movies and TV shows. Just add one of the eligible Note models and the microSD card to your cart, and you will see a credit for the cost of the card at checkout, making it free.
When our own Chris Chiarella and Ian White reviewed the Galaxy Note 10.1, they found a lot to like, concluding, "For work or for play, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is an excellent choice." They praised the multi-tasking capabilities and processing prowess of its 1.4GHz quad core processor. But it's also an extertainment powerhouse with full access to the Google Play Store, a high resolution 1280x800 pixel screen, and an integrated IR blaster which turns the tablet into a touch screen universal remote control thanks to the integrated Peel Smart Remote app.
But what makes the Note unique is its S-Pen and highly sensitive capacitive touch screen. This is the first time a tablet has been able to really replicate the action and feel of a pen on paper, with 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity. This enables simple digital note-taking, creation of your own artwork and powerful image editing capabilities without having to switch over to a desktop PC or laptop.
Whether you're hoping to use your tablet for productivity or pleasure, the Note 10.1 packs a powerful punch. The sale ends on 11/30, but the SD card bonus offer expires tomorrow (November 26th) so check it out while it lasts.
