This book documents the features of the Galaxy Tabs, approaching them from the point of view of a smart person who is intimidated by the technology and baffled by the scant documentation and online support. All topics for Galaxy Tabs will be covered. The reader will keep this book close, referring to it often as they explore the many new and exciting features of their Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Useful starter for the Galaxy Tab I just got, mostly obvious, I've been using Android for a few years now, some of it is outdated but mostly useful and worth a good flick through for bits and pieces that are unique to this iteration of Android. Useful but not something I'd buy.

This book is full of tips, tricks, and ideas for working with a Samsung Galaxy Tab S or Tab four. It's chapters are quick to read, easy to follow, and most importantly, easy to implement. This book is a real gem if you're new to the Android operating system.

Not suitable for the field experts, but a good beginner guide.
