One thing that REALLY concerns me about all the Galaxy tablet products is the power connector …

1) Having it on the nominal “bottom” … where if you want to use it to skype someone from your lap, it’s digging into your tummy! And it especially becomes most inconveniet when you want to plug in the USB, card or HDMI dongles. and you can’t give it power at the same time.
It certainly means card or USB memory is a short term activity … you must sync the stuff onto the tablet.

2) I am really frightened with having the cable come out of the bottom of the connector where it’s always getting flexed like crazy at one spot. For that reason, I carry a second cable with me at all times. So far 2 years and it’s OK. But I really don’t think it’s gonna survive a lot longer.

I have the samsung galaxy note 10.1 and I was told all I needed to do was get an otg cable. I did this and it didn’t work, then I was told that I just needed to download a usb device controller program one suggested was call Usb host controller.
Initially this worked the first time but have not been able to get it to work since.
Can anyone help me?
I’m not really tech savvy so if you could make it simple and clear that would be great.
Thanks

Samsung promised the Jelly Bean update by the end of the year. Now that this update is being rolled out, it would be worthwhile checking how well this solves the software and performance problems Identified in this review.

I agree with some of your review. As with all reviews, it is based on ther reviewer’s point of view. I respect that. I have an iPad 2 and I never once tried flexing it to see how much give it has. Most people, including me put their tablets in a case from the very first day, so this concern abut tha plastic body is a non-issue for me. When you buy a laptop do you try flexing the screen to see if it has a ton of “give”? Or drop it on the floor to see what happens? What about your new car? Do you drive it into a wall to see how sturdy the body is and if the airbag works? People need to stop focusing on the plastic and start focus on what the tablet can do. It is a great tablet. I own one also and have no regrets.
