The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) is a 7 inch tablet with a dual core processor, Android 4.0 software, and as of early 2012, a price of just $250. That puts it in competition with the Barnes & Noble NOOK Tablet and Amazon Kindle Fire.

The Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 measures 193mm x 122mm x 10.4mm (7.6in x 4.8in x .41in), thinner than Amazon's Kindle Fire. It weighs 345g (12.2oz). I
It has a dual-core 1GHz processor with 1GB of RAM.

Android Google Account and Privacy Concerns
As of March 2012 Google's new privacy policy amounts to "no privacy."
Discussions:
One compromise (as in rather than avoiding google altogether) without having google track everything you do, is to create a dummy gmail account. Use an alias and all anonymous info with nothing that identifies you personally and only use your google dummy alias account for the purpose of giving your android a google username and password for the Google Play App Store.
Root
You can root the 7 inch Galaxy Tab 2. Rooting the tablet allows you to access files and settings that are otherwise protected.
Install ClockworkMod Recovery and flash a zip file to gain root access.
This link has a step by step: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25228-rooting-gt-p3113-step-by-step/ (see talk section here too)
After you have rooted the tablet, try out Titanium Backupand Root Explorer.

Problems Connecting to WiFi Having Hidden SSID
Possible scenarios include: try and connect to a wifi network which has a hidden SSID when the same network previously had a broadcasted SSID, or a network having always had a hidden SSID after having manually entered connection settings.

- see (2): http://code.google.com/p/cmtouchpad/issues/detail?id=510
Working resolution: Android OS 4.0, if the SSID in wifi list is from previously having SSID visible, simple delete the entry by choosing "forget" and manually enter wifi settings. So when you click on the connection, even though it says it is out of range, it will open a screen with the options "forget" and "cancel." Just be patient, give it a few minutes to connect.
