4.0 out of 5 stars An improvement you never new you needed February 11, 2011

I love my Galaxy Tab. It replaced my laptop for the vast majority of tasks. I only go to my laptop for realy heavy lifting like recording music or writing. Now, thanks to this keyboard, I can cross writing off the list of things I need my laptop for.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab keyboard is great addition to the Galaxy Tab and I find myself using it a lot. It makes blogging a possibility with the combination of the WordPress app. It also makes writing long emails and bits like this review a lot better. Its usefullness goes further than writing, however.

I am a very keyboard centered person. On my computer I use shortcut keys and launchers to navigate without touching my mouse much. Android is a very keyboard friendly OS and everything is keyboard navigable. There are shortcut keys for searching, the home screen, the recent items, and lots more. I've found that interacting with my Galaxy Tab with a keyboard has greatly increased my productivity and enjoyment on the device. It has also allowed me to make good use of the terminal program and playing with BASH on my tablet has been awesome.

The keyboard does have a flaw and an omission. The omission is the lack of extra ports. I would expect USB host support, maybe HDMI out, or some other goodies. Being able to hook up an external hard drive, or maybe a mouse and monitor would have been incredible and the lack of, at very least, USB host support seems like a big miss. The flaw is actually pretty bad in my opinion. There's a bug in the Galaxy Tab software somewhere that causes audio over bluetooth to skip when using the keyboard. I use bluetooth headphones and am very disapointed in this bug. I reported it to Samsung and I hope they fix it quickly.

Overall the Galaxy Tab keyboard is an excellent addition to the Tab. A much better one than you may at first think. And, if you are a kyeboard jockey or a Linux nerd like me, you'll get a lot of mileage out of it. Just beware the bluetooth bug; it's a bummer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not compatible with Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 June 29, 2012

The product description isn't clear. I read the description and all the reviews carefully and it says that it is NOT compatible with Samsung Galaxy Tab PLUS, but it doesn't say it isn't compatible with the Tab 2 7.0
Well, if you also have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 don't buy this product because the tablet doesn't fit in the keyboard. It's a pitty that the seller doesn't state this, as I'm now out of the country, I'm not going back to the US for quite a long time and I've wasted the money. I feel completely swindled.

5.0 out of 5 stars AHH--MAZING!!! March 7, 2011

I had purchase a keyboard when I first bought my tab and it took me too long to sync the thing the first time and when I found out I would have to go through all that bother EVERY TIME I wanted to use it, I knew there HAD to be something better out there!! AND THERE WAS! This keyboard is awesome! Small, light-weight, functional, and USER FRIENDLY!

The only things I dislike...you can't use it in landscape orientation and I have to take it out of the Otter Box to use it. BUT, that's a small hassle to pay for AWESOMENESS!! I will be recommending this keyboard to my brother who also has a tab and TO EVERYONE ELSE THAT BUYS ONE!

Thank you SAMSUNG!
