Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with free pouch bundle @ costco for 239.99

Yep same deal going on here in Seattle, WA Costco.

I'd recommend another model. Typing on this is difficult although it's a beautiful device.

Difficult because of size? Seems like an odd complaint. At $240, I'd pick one of these up over a Kindle Fire.

$240 for last year's tech, hardly a deal no matter how you look at it.

maybe even a step behind last years tech. i'll consider it at $200. lol

I think this was just released last week.

he means the hardware and specs.
the older 7.0 plus tablet has a faster processor, better front facing camera, led flash
but its still more expensive,

so the tab 2 is a basically a cheaper version of last years model with a newer os

Just got one yesterday from the Costco in Hayward, CA. Thanks!

For a few bucks more than a Kindle Fire or an 8Gb Nook Tablet, this is a no-brainer. Cons are its lack of microUSB for syncing and charging (uses the expensive and hard to find proprietary Samsung Galaxy Tab latching connector). Also, it's got about 5.3Gb free for internal app storage. Since it's running ICS, that means no apps stored on SD, so you will run out of internal room very quickly if you want to load up any big Gameloft or EA-style 3D games which can run up to 800Mb apiece. For casual gaming, web browsing or e-book usage it's perfect.

The older Galaxy Plus 7.0 has a better screen, camera, CPU/GPU and 2x the storage but it's getting hard to find and costs a lot more and is still running Honeycomb and is still only 1024x600.
