Hi! Question for Samsung Galaxy tab 2 owners: Are you able to make Skype VIDEO calls on this tablet? Please note that I'm not talking about just installing and running Skype. I would like to know if besides regular calls and chat, video calls are supported as I've read some complaints about this tablet not being able to support Skype VIDEO calls and I want to know if those were just isolated cases since I'm planning to buy one. Thank you!

Yes, can do skype calls and video calls without any issues.

thats why i am buying one in two weeks i had enough of my IPod touch 2nd Generation version i want to be able to play games on a little device like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and still be able to listen to music when i am on the go with my old IPod touch the headphone part doesnt work anymore so i cant listen to any music when i am out

and plus the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 can do a lot more than a Apple hand held device it can use Utorrent to download straight to your device it can play Flashplayer videos on the internet which is the most impressive which the Apple devices cannot play at all

the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 can hold a hell of a lot of storage than a Apple device cause it holds SD cards and you can store thousands of stuff depends on the Gigs you get for the SD cards the more of the Gigs the more of the storage

i have heard so much good things about the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 compared to what Apple IPads and IPod touches cant do specially the updates to the older devices i have the second generation IPod Touch which cant download any games cause its not able to upgrade the IOS software and that sucks even though i got 32g of storage it still doesnt make me happy i find that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 will give me more storage since now a device like that can take SD cards and be updated with the software

Battery life could be better

BTW, it's my understanding that this is Android's doing in ICS and JB and not Samsung's fault. I could be wrong, but that's what I've read.

There is an answer to this issue, but it involves rooting your device and running a script to swap internal memory for external. I now have a device with 29 or so gigs 'internal' and 4 or so 'external'.

Samsung Galaxy Tab vs iPad 5? Have you seen the specs for the iPad 5?? There is no competition... iPad 5 wins hands down! Read for yourself if you don't believe me - ｗｗｗ.ｉｐａｄｓｐｅｃ.ｃｏｍ
