Samsung tablet

[J_herb]

Iam looking at buying a Samsung Galaxy tablet 7" 37.0 WiFi only,
I don't really know much about apps and was wandering if I have to get apps from Samung only? or can I use apps for android from different places ? Thanks in advance

I was going to buy a tablet but found that they are really, really limited in their abilities. It's more like using a large phone than it is like using a small computer.
There are so many things that an Android based device can't do that the only tablet sized device that would work for me was something that actually used a computer based operating system such as the Windows Surface with Win8.
Just be sure you check it all out. I bought the tablet and it only took 1 day to realize I had made a terrible mistake. I returned it to Sam's Club a couple of days later for a full refund.

I was told while in the Verizon store yesterday that on Black Friday many small tablets (7") will be at prices near to nothing. Who knows. I am thinking about buying a Nexus (Google) 7" tablet just because I want one and they are so cheap. 225 bucks for a tablet with a really beautiful screen.

All Android tablets and cell phones can use the Google play store to get aps.

Thank you 1492, you are always so helpful.
Tablets are new to me and have a lot to learn, just want to use it for weather, news, maps and general info, I don't do music or movies.
