What's great about it: Size, features, easy to set-up & use
What's not so great: cost
My wife convinced me to buy this tablet to take with me on business trips which are frequent. I tried and returned other brands before taking the plunge & paying the extra $$ for this tablet. Thus far it's done everything I've wanted it to do. At first I wasn't sure if this was the way to go as I really don't care about the Draw features, but now I wouldn't get any other tab. I bought the Allcast hub & love it for viewing movies away from home.
Get it, you'll love it.
This product is... responsive touch screen, Good sound quality, easy to set up, lightning fast, Perfect for Business, Variety of apps available, A nice compact size, Sharp graphics, Easy to navigate, Great screen size, Comfortable to hold
About me... Business Professional
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Fits well
What's not so great: Doesn't stand up well, cost
This cover works for me with the exception the "stand" feature requires some support or the tablet will fall.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Easy connection
What's not so great: Price
I actually purchased this device after being sent to two different BB's that were "holding" my order of a Samsung Micro to HDMI Adapter for my Galaxy (Both stores were out of stock, but showed in-stock online). I travel a great deal for work and wanted the ability to watch movies/TV shows while staying in hotels. I spoke with a Samsung Rep while waiting to see if my adapter would be located and he asked if I'd considered the Allshare Hub. Since the adapters were not available I decided to try this Hub. When I got home it took me only the time to unpack and read the instructions before I had the Hub working great w/my Galaxy Tab. Initially, I didn't have any audio but I discovered I had the volume down on my Galaxy. The video quality was great for nearly all the movies/TV shows I tried, however if the stream quality is less than great on the tab, that passes on to the big screen. Audio was delayed somewhat during the first minute or so after establishing the link between my tab and the hub, but was fine after the first minute or so. You will notice a lag between your device screen and the monitor, but with movies/TV once I made the connection I stopped viewing the Tab. I can see where this might be a disqualifying issue if your aim is playing fast action video games. We also tried my wife's Galaxy Note phone and it also worked great though you do have to remember to turn the phone to the landscape position or the image will not fill your TV screen. I've noticed other reviewers comments on wifi interference while using other Samsung phones so you might want to try the hub (or be ready to return it) if you purchase the Hub. For the Galaxy 10.1 2014 tablet owners and G Note phones, when you power up the Allshare Hub and hit the reset button, all you have to do is click the Screen Mirror button on your device and your device will automatically detect the Hub. Once you select the Hub, you'll be off and running. Thus far the Hub is just what I ordered for my circumstances...though the price could come down some!

Do I need a wifi network to use this?

I don't have wifi at my house and my phone is not a hotspot. Can I use this device to mirror my phone (including internet) onto my tv?
If you don't have wifi, you'd have to rely on your 3g/4g phone connection to stream the movies which could rapidly use up your G's if you have a limited amount. Otherwise, the only way you'll be able to use the hub is at a location w/wifi. Since I don't have experience with 3g/4g streaming to the Hub, I'd advise you to take a look online to see if there are any lag issues (video/audio) between phones and the Hub.
