As mentioned above | As mentioned above most of the tablets were Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 models. That model was originally released for sale back in May of 2013. It is based on an [[wikipedia:OMAP|OMAP]] (Open Multimedia Applications Platform) system from Texas Instruments. The CPU is an [[wikipedia:ARM_Cortex-A9|ARM based Dual Core Cortex A-9]]<nowiki/>operating at 1 GHz. It was available with 8, 16, or 32 GB (all of the models I worked with had the middle range 16 GB) of storage space (AKA non-volatile RAM, equivalent to an SSD) and an micro SD Card slot that can support a card up to 32 GB in size. The screen has a resolution of 800 x 1280 pixels. They all surprisingly support 802.11n WiFi (in addition to 802.11abg) and have blue tooth capability. | ||

Google Play Store will not work (ever) | Google Play Store will not work (ever). Google Play Service, if installed will cause the device, when rebooted to boot up, crash and reboot in an endless cycle. So lesson here is do not install anything that has the word / name "Google" in it. It seems they've figured out a way to have open source software and make you buy new hardware if you want their software. Do no evil... (Google's mantra) Ha! I guess being evil doesn't include being a tool. | ||
