I've considering a Tablet for the past month. Debating between the Galaxy Tab 10.1, iPad 2 (if I sell my iPod Touch 4) & Eee Transformer.
The latter looks like it will be the best but I want to hear your experiences. Not getting any 3G/4G models as I'll be tethering it via my EVO 3D.
Too bad the HP Touchpad is too hot for the shelves.

I honestly love the transformer. Didn't think I would use it much but I bought it and then the dock a few days later and sold my netbook. The battery life is what drew me to it and the price. I returned the ipad 2 cause I wanted my paid apps plus it just didn't do it for me even though its a great piece of hardware. I use my TF all night at work tethered to my Co workers evo and couldn't be happier. Honeycomb has its flaws for sure but most can be overcome with apps for now and its getting better with every update.

The xda member with the Dexter avatar was telling me how he enjoyed his TF and he may have just said enough for me to have one on my dining room table by the end of the month. Our house hold has quite a few android phones and tablets but that transformer is really attractive.

I dunno, the TF feels very cheap to me. I have both the iPad 2 and Galaxy 10.1 but if I had to choose I'd go with the 10.1.

Like MyTouch 3G cheap or sturdier? I have to ask because the 2 tablets you own have a very high build quality.
BTW, damn you are an OG member, never seen a '04 XDA member.
Transformer for sure if you're looking for productivity. That's assuming you buy the dock which has an extra battery, usb ports and a regular sized SD port in it. And its super easy to root and almost impossible to brick!

Yeah the Keyboard dock will be in tow, that's what appealed to me. The fact that it's a battery extender, keyboard with touchpad & that it operates via the connector, vs bluetooth really made me love this more.
The low cost is icing the cake for me.
The Galaxy tab and Transformer both have a lot going for them but I think I will wait until toshiba's AT200 drops and decide then.

I got an iPad and a MOTO tablet (xoom ) I like honeycomb is a nice OS , but I prefer my iPad , it has better apps and games, some apps are expensive like numbers bit Damn they couldn't make it any easier to do spreadsheets easier, email is so nice to see and YouTube as well, battery life is outstanding , and i like mgs as well so is great to have the game on my iPad , I wouldnt buy games like Angus birds hd I already have it on my iPhone so is not worth the extra bucks , I wish tapatalk would be like email app to see threads tho but overall great device they have some cheaps docks online , keyboard might cost you a bit if you want one , overall great device having an EVO , iPhone and iPad is the perfect combination for me
Might consider android tablet when ics comes out but as of now iPad is good for me

I'm using the TouchPad with my E3D and of course got it during the first day of the FireSale. However I think it does depend on your funds and what you'll be using it for. Money/Productivity wise I would go with the TF. Being able to remote into your PC plus the keyboard dock is awesome.

You own the 1st or the 2nd iPad?
I've been considering the iPad 2, since I do like to have devices with different OS & I do have quite a few iOS apps but mostly because I was paid to use iOS in a software trial using the iPod Touch 4.
My only gripe is the Home UI, file management & iTunes.

Home UI doesn't bug since is a table is.not like my phone, I don't mind itunes , sometimes you think you'll could do more if you could handle any file but it doesn't bug me much, I got the original iPad I got the iPad 2 but I felt like it wasn't worth it at the time and still don't, the original iPad is really good device and the camera and the proccesor doesn't convince me, but that's your descion, I think having two diferent OS is good because you have nice features on both and battery life seems better on ipads then android tablets that I seem , the screen looks really good too

What does a jailbroken ipad give ya? Because I used to own one? (Replaced it with a galaxy tab)
Not being a ****..... Just wondering if I missed anything.
Rootyourdroid.net. My nephews blog.
I had an Epic 4G and recently got a TouchPad. After a week or two with the TouchPad I finally got an Evo 3D. Ever since I've rarely used the TouchPad except for a certain game and to show off my TouchPad.
The newer transformers, model b70 which is selling now cannot be rooted. It has a new boot loader. I have a older one without dock and its okay. I bought to have flash...now I am waiting for the new kel- el versions instead of the tegra 2 chipset. Don't have any experience with the galaxy. I also have a iPad one I use. I switch between those two at home and for the road..I use my color nook because of the portability. I don't nave a favorite, they all suck somewhat in my view, iPad strength is software battery life. Transformer strength is cost( but newer ones remember are locked) . If I where you..hold off for a few months till the new chipset comes out..the kal-el as I mention.
I was wanting to sell my iPad . What android tab get the most development.

i had a wifi xoom but honestly, it's got some market downloading issues(honeycomb related) plus sd card is read only and there aren't as many apps available in tablet version... to me i felt it was unnecessary since i have a 15" macbook pro. I couldn't for the life of me find a word processing app to type papers... so i retured it within my 14 days...
I've been rocking the 32 GB Acer Iconia wifi version for about 3 months now! It's a pretty solid creature and it's all but replaced the need for a laptop. (though my PC is still up and running... Tablets really can only do so much)
There's really good development for it here at xda (Vache's Taboonay is my ROM of choice... He was developing for the Acer Liquid E when I first came onto the android scene, and knowing he was developing for the Iconia was one of my reasons for choosing it) His kitchen is full of goodies too (we all love goodies, don't we? )
I like the full sized usb port for using thumb drives, external hard drives and usb keyboard/mouse... Even my old Sony Cybershot was instantly detected, plus the HDMI out is a sweet feature. It's really fast and stable. I've been alternating between Polaris and Docs to Go for word processing and spreadsheets, and in my line of work (chef), I find it really useful for inventory, orders, recipe organization, scheduling, etc. It's better than hauling a laptop around.
Just yesterday, I found out how to wired-tether my evo to share data without having to enable the hotspot. All in all, I'm extremely happy with it!
I've seen a heck of a lot of bad press about it, but can't for the life of me understand why. Head over to the Iconia page, and read what other users have to say. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1133 It's quite popular among those of us who have given it a shot. I think it's something of a hidden gem among better known brands.
Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we will change the world.
Greetings, I want a Google tv for my tv really bad. I'm very torn however... I'm unsure if I should wait till the next gen box's come out? ICS is coming to the Logitech Revue I believe.. I really just don't want to buy a box and then the next day the next gen stuff comes out with features like "airplay for androids" (not literal but a feature similar). I think it will be more convenient than plugging my laptop into my tv all the time. or my soon to be tablet (the transformer prime ) What are my fellow android user's thoughts on this?
I was I your same boat. I had a ps3 only used it for blu rays so i sold it and bought the Sony Google TV. V1 was cluncky imo. But I feel V2 is great once more development gets going it will be a lot better. Its not 100% polished but I think its worth it.

Awesome, curious, is there an Airplay like feature? I'm getting ready to buy the Transformer Prime, it'd be really nifty to just wirelessly stream my movies and games.

Yes, I have Plex Media Server running and then stream it to my Google TV.. I've had it for about 4-5 months now and I just got the official Honeycomb release.. I was on the hacked version which was good but not fully baked.
The official release works well and I think we will start seeing many more apps developed for GTV...
I am waiting for a DVR app so I can use my external HD as a DVR through GTV...
I actually think for $99 you cant go wrong. I dont think the second gen isnt coming out until next summer and this works just fine.. I use Netflix, Plex, twitter and I actually find myself using HBO GO a lot more than I thought I would. It has all episodes on there.
The quality is 1080p and finding shows is a breeze because it searches based on your cable operator.
I like it and its the best $100 i spent...
Go for it, you wont regret it.
awesome, I think I will, hopefully I'll see a sale after Christmas. however I don't think it will matter, all my Christmas money will be burning a hole in my pocket
I will say if you need a blu ray player just add that extra 80 I have seen the Sony set top boxes with the blu ray for 180 on amazon.

I didnt recommend that model because I have yet to play a Blu Ray on my Blu Ray DVD player. Not a priority for me but you should look at it if it is for you.
Just curious those of you that replaced their Android/iPad or no longer use it since they got the Note.
I am gonna get a Transformer Prime today but wandering if i will be overwhelmed with the Prime and Note. Or figuring if its necessary especially after the 650 i dropped on the Note lol.
I love my Note especially on the go. But its nice to have that extra real estate at home and of course more gadgets. But was debating $650 with the dock is expensive. But i currently have no laptop or netbook and the Prime seems.perfect for my needs.
I basically browse web, play nes and snes emulators. Email, root and Rom hacks. Obviously id take advantage of the Tegra 3 and game more.

Just about reaching a full day with my Note and I realized today I used my iPad about 1/4 as much as I typically would.
I found the following: 1) Note is always with me, so its more convenient than the iPad 2) I am typically referencing something else on my Note so its faster to continue using it for the next task. 3) Of course right now there is a newness factor to it but overall I still think I find it more convenient to grab than the iPad.
I will have to see what my behaviors are in the future but for now I don't think my iPad is going to get much use.

You might want to look into the PS Vita if you're looking to game on the fly...
IMO, the note can duplicate MUCH of the functionality of the TPrime. All you would need is the MHL adapter to connect to a bigger display (TV/LCD monitor), bluetooth input devices and you're good to go.
I currently have the (not counting computers/laptops) ipad 2, Acer A100 7" tablet, and recently purchased the Vita - specifically because I found smartphone/tablet games lacking in depth.

Good point. Maybe a PS vita and A Galaxy tab 7.0 for web browsing at home for 299. It would come out cheaper than the Prime and dock.

same , i use ipad at home, but for regular stuff like reading on train "kindle" i use the Note
I almost never use my GNote at home unless it is for phone calls. I use my macbook or if watching netflix my ipad. I mean the GNote screen is great but not when I have 13 and 10 inch screens at home...or a 24 inch desktop
I had an iPad 2 (now sold, maybe getting iPad 3 later) and hardly used it since I bought my Note. Use an iPhone 4s for on the go phone so Note pretty much acts like a mini tab.
Actually ive been reading great reviews on the Acer A200. Especially for the $350 price mark and it just got Android 4.0 ICS. Really pondering going with something like this.
Acer A200 10.1" $350
PS Vita Bundle $300
Also have a BB $30 gift card. So makes it actually $620 total.
Same price as if i got the Transformer Prime & the Dock for $650. Hmmmmm. Honestly Tegra 3 is awesome but i do most of my gaming on Xbox and would rather have a Vita for gaming and use the tablet for NES, SNES & N64 emulation.
Still rocking my Xoom with the Bugless Beast ICS ROM, PS Vita First Edition Bundle and my Note are my main electronic devices.

Trying to be cheap as possible. Seen a couple places talking about Polaroid ICS factory rooted tab at big lots for 99 bucks. Mom told me about it too . Anyone know if out worth getting? open to suggestions here too for good tab.... Cheap good tab.
Sent from my Motorola Electrify using XDA
Take a look at http://reviews.cnet.com/2733-3126_7-936-5.html for a small list. They're not in the range of the Polaroid, but they're pretty reliable.
The Polaroid is only 800x480 at 7", I imagine you'll be doing some reading on it. The Nook Color and Kindle Fire are both 1024x600 at 7". The Polaroid has the advantage of having ICS preloaded, where as the other 2 have only unofficial ROMs.
I'd go with the newest Samsung galaxy tab 7. It is around $250 so a bit out of your price range, but if you could get together the money for it I would definitely reccomend you get it or the Kindle Fire.
Thanks alt for Al the suggestions... Have been looking in craigslist but pit in sticks where I live the two closest cities are to far right now and would like new with some warranty.

Oh and touch screens aren't "heat" sensitive, they rely on the electrical impulses of your body to detect your touches.

Depending on what you are looking for in a tablet, the polaroid (or all other $99 tablets ftm) will be a waste of your money. Tablets that inexpensive are not up to par with google's standards, and therefore, are not "google certified." These tablets will not have the best hardware, or even the play store/android market. They will have custom markets (applibs, amazon marketplace) The samsung galaxy tab 2 is a great tablet for the price, but if you are wanting to save a little bit more, you can try looking up archos online. They are a huge brand in europe (supposedly) and seem to function fairly well. Not to mention they are about the least expensive "google certified" tablets I have seen out there. Good luck. =D
Like I said not even sure if I am getting one now.. If I do I think I want a 10" screen and I have been looking on craigslist. Just nothing is within price range cuz I NEED money to pay for this coming semester.

I am the owner of a gnex, nex 7, and note 2. I am aware of the the huge difference in th screen resolution. But i can image the features with the s pen on a tablet must great. So i ask you... What would you do? Maybe i can get the apps working on the nexus after a little work. Thoughts?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app
I had s2, then gnex, then s3 & now a nexus 4. I had a note 10.1 WiFi +3g version (gt-n8000). My fiancé has a nexus 10. I thought I could get past the note's poor screen resolution, but in reality, I really couldn't. I looked at a nexus 4 screen & my fiancé's nexus 10 & then at my note & was pretty bothered by it all.
If you can get past the resolution, my next issue was software/updates. To be honest, having a nexus has spoiled me. I love vanilla android. I do not like manufacturer skins. I love knowing that even if my hardware is a bit out of date, I will still have the newest software... Not the case with the note. Again, these are minor issues that I hoped to not care about but learned that I did.
I have since sold my note in order to pay some deposits that are due for my upcoming wedding. I don't miss it. I have been tossing around picking up a used nexus 7 eventually, but over all the note 10.1 left me wanting more. I spent a nice chunk on it when it was first available & thought I would love it. Sold it for a nice bit of money, as well.
This turned out longer than i thought. Hope this helps.

Hi, sully112277, I am in the same boat as you, but without owning a previous android device. Here is a thread with helpful opinions, features, and a poll about the Nexus 10 and the GNote 10.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093177. Hope this helps, and hope you find the right device.
I bought the Note originally. I was moving from an iPad with the retina display. So the difference in resolution was just too much. So, I took it back and got the nexus 10. As much as I enjoyed the pen and related apps, the higher resolution was worth the trade off. I guess it really depends if you want the stylus. In my humble opinion, aside from the stylus, the Nexus is superior in every way.

LOL, The resolution on the 10.1 is not bad...at all. Compared to a retina display or the Nexus 10 display, it's no contest. However, it's not bad on the Note 10.1.
note 10.1 hands down. i choose that one over the nexus 10 just got it last week and i LOVE it! i can do soo many more things on the note than i ever could on the nexus. sometimes..screen's just not everything and mind you the screen display colours and contrast levels on the note 10.1 is very much satisfying!
What killed it for me was getting the Note 10.1 1st then the others. I buy them all and see what I like. Not all at once. I just tried the new Toshiba SE with the Tegra 1.6. Was not faster then my note but almost dead even on allot. I understand its a cheap model. It had awful blacklight bleed, the note had very rich colors. Getting my Win 8 to see it.. never happen.
Asus/Nexus 10 awesome high rez.. For me you take the high rez away whats left. If I wanted high rez I would buy the new Ipad that have more apps/games that support it. And then trying to get a Asus/Nexus 10 with NO blacklightbleed.. should not be that hard. 1st Samsung perfect screen.
Just try them dont just take a reviews word. So Note hands down. Nexus is awesome but just vanilla. Its the silly things I like.. split keyboard, change font look, the white menus etc. Things I am sure you can ADD to the others and some you have to root 1st.
Thanks guys... I love getting the updates first like everyone else but half the time they are buggy and unsupported for months. When i made the switch from my gnex to note i went from 4.2 to 4.1 but surprisingly i didnt miss it at all. The note 2 is an absolutely amazing phone. Never happier with an android purchase since I started all the way back to the t-mob G1. I always unlock and root so i can edit the ui as please if i go for the note 10.
So far i think thats where I am leaning but my decision is not final yet. Thanks for all your advice again and lets not forget... Both are great devices. I am sure i will be happy with my purchase as I always am.

Samsung wins all around wether you have a Note 2 and Note 10.1 or the N10. Samsung made them all lol. I agree the Note 2 is an amazing phone and was one of the reason I chose the N10 over the Note 10.1. I use the N10 for mostly play and Note 2 for productive things. If I need to view a documnet or pdf tho the N10 handles that with no problem. Anything that requires serious work I use my 3 screens connected to my desktop pc as it's best for serious productivity. In the end each person will choose what works best for them in a given situation. Even though the N10 has a very nice screen the 10.1 has a pretty nice one also, even if it's a lower resolution.
My favorite thing to do so far with the N10 is to play emulated games with the controller it's a pretty nice experience. The android games run very well also, so basically I have a pretty big portable gaming device. The PS vita is like $300 plus with no killer games and a lower game resolution. You can basically by a tablet of any size of choosing and turned into a gaming device and still have the abilites to surf the net, stream movies, play music and other apps. My son has a few handheld portables and I after I gave his mother my samsung epic and he saw the games he didn't even wanna play with the portables much.
I do miss not having the extra space a full blown laptop would have but with OTG cable I'm able to hook up my usb thumbdrives or my 1tb external hard drive. So it all works out in the end. Plus I have 50gb dropbox storage and I haven't even used the google drive yet. Plus with my note 2 if I ever need to grab something real quick I can hotspot if no Wifi and download the items. Most likely I will already have the big stuff on a flash drive with me.

Samsung wins all around wether you have a Note 2 and Note 10.1 or the N10. Samsung made them all lol. I agree the Note 2 is an amazing phone and was one of the reason I chose the N10 over the Note 10.1. I use the N10 for mostly play and Note 2 for productive things. If I need to view a documnet or pdf tho the N10 handles that with no problem. Anything that requires serious work I use my 3 screens connected to my desktop pc as it's best for serious productivity. In the end each person will choose what works best for them in a given situation. Even though the N10 has a very nice screen the 10.1 has a pretty nice one also, even if it's a lower resolution.
My favorite thing to do so far with the N10 is to play emulated games with the controller it's a pretty nice experience. The android games run very well also, so basically I have a pretty big portable gaming device. The PS vita is like $300 plus with no killer games and a lower game resolution.

Sorry, but hardcore gaming on Android sucks. There are no killer games. And PS Vita running at lower res doesn't matter, its actually good because it can concentrate more on textures, reflections, water effects and so on.

Asus/Nexus 10 awesome high rez.. For me you take the high rez away whats left. If I wanted high rez I would buy the new Ipad that have more apps/games that support it. And then trying to get a Asus/Nexus 10 with NO blacklightbleed.. should not be that hard. 1st Samsung perfect screen.

I hardcore game on my pc I built. I never said the word hardcore when describing gaming on the nexus 10. And the Vita still doesn't have a game that's worth the money they are asking for and that's the point I was making in comparison to buying a tablet for all the features they provide.
