I picked up my Galaxy Tab 10.1 this weekend from Best Buy (I've ranted about that horrible experience on another thread, so I'll spare ya!).
The device is fantastic so far! The front and rear facing camera's are exceptional and have great quality, even at 3MP. I already have a Droid 2 Global so once I signed on with my Google Account everything synced right up! That was unexpected, but appreciated!
I also set up Google Music (also in Beta) and it runs perfectly. I was able to take the tablet to a friends, set up some speakers, plug in and stream from my collection. Another pleasant surprise that took little effort to set up.
Since video chat doesn't work with Skype (at least that I could find) I went and tried GChat with my dad. The video quality was excellent from both ends. Tapping the screen and switching between camera's (front and rear facing) was awesome! It was strange how I had to keep tapping my little image to get it to center and stay still. That was a bit of a pain. I'm sure I'm overlooking something since this is all brand new to me.
I'm still shocked that there are some apps available on my Droid 2 Global, but not on my tablet. I hope that changes. Really need GoToMyPC and GoToMeeting to really make this a part of my daily activities for work. I picked up Quick Office Pro HD and hope that works out for me. I do a lot of proposals and editing of PDF's, so being portable is going to be a necessity. I have Dropbox and will almost always be near WiFi now that I snagged a mobile device from Time Warner.
I am in the Google+ beta as well and the way it ties in with my phone and tablet is just awesome! Quick posts of pics to your stream is very cool. I need more friends added on there before I really can play with it, but what I used so far shows huge potential.
Now if I could please have Hulu+ and Netflix then I'd be all set!
