i actually purchased the samsung galaxy tab pro 12.2 from the local costco and tried it out for just one afternoon before i finally decided that it wasn't up to par and returned it the next day.
for some reason, they have the home button programmed to bring up google search every time it's touched. and with the home button slightly raised from the main surface, i ended up touching it a lot with my thumb when holding it portrait mode for viewing. not only that, it also seems that the unit has been programmed to bring up google search every time you shake it. that's fine, but i swear i wasn't shaking it. every time i move it around, google search pops up, hindering whatever i was trying to do. putting it on a table, if i happened to bump against the table, google search would pop up. and as far as i could see, there's no way to change the behavior of the home button. and shouldn't it just go to the home screen by default? to get to the home screen, you have to touch the home button twice.
the other thing that infuriated me and had me deciding to return it was that when i was scrolling up and down the sd cards directory to open up a book via the aldiko app, it would close every time i try to open up a directory. it would also close every time my scrolling reached the bottom of the list.
i got so frustrated that i never actually opened up an ebook to see what it would look like. i just reset it, charged it overnight, and returned it the next day.
google, if you are listening (or crawling this web page), please make a 12-13 inch version of the nexus tablet.
