Since the emergence of the Apple iPad, the tablet market has become relevant again. While older tablets ran on watered down versions of computer operating systems, this new generation of popular tablets seem to be running on either smartphone operating systems such as iOS, Android and WebOS (upcoming HP tablet) or full Windows 7 (such as the HP Slate or soon to be releasing Asus Eee Pad). The portability of tablets make it a more viable option to carry around than laptop PCs as these operating systems have many tools great for both personal and corporate use. Also, given the power and coverage of mobile internet on 3G and 4G, this device is truly the ultimate device for somebody who is on the go.

Since the emergence of the Apple iPad, the tablet market has become relevant again. While older tablets ran on watered down versions of computer operating systems, this new generation of popular tablets seem to be running on either smartphone operating systems such as iOS, Android and WebOS (upcoming HP tablet) or full Windows 7 (such as the HP Slate or soon to be releasing Asus Eee Pad). The portability of tablets make it a more viable option to carry around than laptop PCs as these operating systems have many tools great for both personal and corporate use. Also, given the power and coverage of mobile internet on 3G and 4G, this device is truly the ultimate device for somebody who is on the go.

This particular 7" tablet by Samsung is running the Android 2.2 operating system with Samsung's popular TouchWiz UI. It features high end hardware, similar to what is found on their Galaxy S series of phones (which in the US includes the Captivate, Vibrant, Fascinate, Epic and Mesmerize) meaning it boasts the powerful 1GHz Hummingbird processor (which based on many benchmarks is one of the fastest, if not the fastest, single core processor on the market), 512MB of RAM and is available with the options of 16GB or 32GB internal storage plus a Micro SD slot expandable up to 32GB more. Unlike the iPad, this tablet also includes a 3MP rear camera for pictures and videos and a 1.3MP front facing camera for video calls and self-portraits and is capable of making phone calls (either through speakerphone or Bluetooth). This tablet is currently available by Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile.

A great on the go device like this one requires accessories to keep it in pristine condition and in turn preserve the resale value, a device like this one should retain its value well. There are two products which can provide the best protection to all aspects of your tablet, those being a case to protect the body from scratches, scuffs, bumps and drops as well as a screen protector to protect the most important part of a touchscreen device, the screen itself.

As somebody who has used cases by many different manufacturers, I have yet to come across one which has impressed me more than Otterbox. The innovative styles which includes the designs as well as the overall feel of their cases coupled with outstanding overall protection make it the best purchase to protect an expensive device like this. This particular case for the Galaxy Tab is a part of their Defender series.

It includes three layers of protection including a high quality polycarbonate shell and a durable silicone skin as well as a clear screen protector. As a result, the entire device is protected. I have also found this particular design by Otterbox to protect devices better than anything else on the market. If you are have or are planning purchasing a Samsung Galaxy Tab, then it you should take a very strong look at the defender case by Otterbox.
