@bobstro was asking about battery life of the AMOLED screen. I don't have any thing to compare it to, but the battery life seems pretty good. I'm getting about 9 (hours of net usage (utube, movies and surfing) and anout 14-15 hours of reading with some email and texting thrown in (Wifi on). The reading was done with a black background and yellow text. This is on an "S" 8.4.

A couple of comments about this tablet:

The camera is better than most tablet camers and the software allows you to store the photos on the external SD card (in DCIM > Camera folder).

KitKat is a real pain. You can't get email attachments or Dropbox photos to the external SD card without a bunch of bother.

As someone else has mentioned; the capacitive back button is easy to touch inadvertently with some times dire results. Also, the "Home Button" is also used to awaken a sleeping tablet (not good if you keep your tablet in a sleeve) and I can't find any way to disable this.

One nice feature of TouchWiz is the "Direct Access" function. In the "Settings> Device> Accessability you will find this feature which allows you to tap the home key three times to enable certain functions. I use it to turn Negative Colors" on or off.

If anyone has any questions about this tablet, I'll do my best to answer them.

Regards-John
