So I have a Kindle Fire pre-ordered, but I have been reading around and now I am not sure what to do because I am considering canceling my Fire and getting a touchpad off eBay.
Which one do people around here think is the better value, when one is planning on running custom android roms.

The Fire may not be very rom-friendly, but it's not even out yet for the developers to get ahold of. Cm7 is already well on its way for the Touchpad though. If that's your main criteria, I might suggest a Nook Color even. You can find them for $150 for a good refurb and it's well-supported by Cm7. They are similar hardware wise the Kindle Fire and the same form factor (7" screen).
buy me a fire and I'll let you know.
thanks
Well, just a quick at the specs here are a few that stand out:
TouchPad
Processor: Qualcomm dual-core 1.2GHz
Storage memory: 16GB or 32GB
RAM: 1 GB
Screen: 9.7 In.
OS: WebOS/Android 2.3 dual boot
Bluetooth: Yes
Front facing Camera: yes
Accelerometer: Yes
Compass (magnetometer): Yes
Gyroscope: Yes
Kindle Fire
Processor: TI OMAP dual core 1.0GHz
Storage memory: 8GB
RAM: 512 MB
Screen: 7 in.
OS: Android 2.3
Bluetooth: No
Front facing Camera: No
Accelerometer: No
Compass (magnetometer): No
Gyroscope: No
Not sure if one processor has a real advantage over the other but I would guess the TouchPad would probably be the better of the two.
Storage and RAM the TouchPad has the clear advantage.
Screen of course the TouchPad is bigger but it depends on what you prefer.
The Touchpad has an alpha version of Gingerbread 2.3 and of course WebOS witch I like much more than I expected. You could have two operating systems in essence.
The TouchPad was designed as a more Premium device with decent hardware (thus the greater storage and RAM) the Fire was designed as a budget device with cost saving in mind.
With all that in mind I go with the Touchpad if you can keep the price at around two $200 range (give or take a little).
That my 2 cents worth.
Tp is much better hardware
On the TP you also get bluetooth and a camera.
Don't know if Touchpad's GPU really better or worse than SGX540 of Nook, but 1gb of RAM really makes huge difference, 512mb is simply not enough, esp., for tablet.
However, Touchpad is big and heavy, and the pixel density is lower. And it doesn't have a proper build of Android (alpha 2 is alpha 2, more or less stable, but jerky) yet.

With Ice Cream Sandwich on the way. It is almost a given, that it will ported by early next year if not sooner. This should be a huge reason to go to Craigs List and buy that TouchPad!
Buy the touchpad especially if you get a 32gb version at good price. Android, even though alpha version, is working great. Should be a stable version out soon. ICS is also coming. The touchpad is a high end tablet!

I'm looking to buy a tablet an I'm eyeing this cuz of great value so can u give me quick review on the tab
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
right now, no, do not buy a Gtablet. They have not released any real updates since January. It's currently selling for about $260 on Woot and Tiger Direct sales.
My Stepfather just got an Acer Iconia at Staples with a $100 coupon. It's far superior to the Gtablet. It comes packaged with Android 3.0 (Honeycomb), is relatively young, meaning that you'll get at least a few more months of updates, the screen is better...blah, blah, blah.
All in all, the Gtablet is good, but not becuase of Viewsonic, but becuase of devs on forums like this one. The hardware is nice, nad the potential is there. But without help from Viewsonic, we will not have fully functional gingerbread or honeycomb.
Your best bet is to get somethign else.

TJ is telling you the straight truth. There are many other options out there for you other than spending your money on a tablet that Viewsonic has simply walked away from after 6 months. You will be left with an orphaned tablet. If you could get it for $100.00 or so it would be a different story. I'm so upset with Viewsonic, I won't ever spend $.01 with them again.
might be worth it if its dirt cheap, cause there's lots of better tablets coming out. Still, this tablet can hold its own, has good specs and im running Honeycomb smoothly on it. Its not perfect yet, but its still a pretty good ROM. my only real gripe right now is the screen, check out some of the other tablets before jumping on this one. The Archos G9 80 and 101 will be out soon if you want a cheap tablet, they look really interesting and much better than their last tablets: 1.5 Ghz Dual Core CPU, 250gb hdd as an option, they will have the market, so no work arounds needed, unlike their last tablets and also the Gtablet.
Archos G9 Specs
If you can get a used one for less than $200, then it will still be a good buy.
I wouldn't count on an upgrade from Android 2.2 . But there may soon be the Linux MeeGo distro available for nVidia Tegra devices. If that happens this tablet will really be useful.
I just broke my G-Tab & was contemplating as to whether I should buy a replacement screen (if possible), a new one, or a different android tab altogether. In the end though after much debating & thinking about the android os in terms of out the box usage & functionality I decided to go with a Windows 7 based tablet. What drew me away from the G-Tab was not so much its hardware (screen excluded) but more-so its support from Viewsonic & androids ability to just "get it & go".
I'm not knocking the android o/s but it still has a long way to come to reach that level. All I can say is keep your mind open, look around, weigh the price vs specs vs features & don't dismiss other options in regards to the o/s.
I purchased my EXOPC off ebay for $475 & cannot be happier with the specs it lists (to name a few):
11.6 inch screen @ 1366 x 768 Resolution, 16:9 Wide-screen Ratio
Intel Atom Pineview-M N450, 1.66 GHz (supports 64-bit)
Storage Capacity 32 Gigabyte or 64 Gigabyte Solid State Drive (SSD)
2 Gigabytes DDR2 SDRAM
Intel GMA 3150 & Broadcom Crystal HD 1080p (supports up to 1080p high-definition video)
The biggest point though is the ability to run ALL windows apps on this bad boy as well as install Linux, MeeGo, Splashtop etc. etc.
Hi,
Just watched presentation of upcoming Toshiba Tab and Iahve to say I fell in love again (as with GT 10.1 which dissapointed me with itd SoC).
AT200 will be equipped with Ti OMAP4 4430 (1,2 Ghz) chip - the one with Netflix HD certificate. Has microSD slot, micro USB and HDMI. It is just 7,7 mm thick and very light.
What do you think....if you thinking of getting GT10.1 in few days would that make you wait?
And one more thing... Video transcoding - is it coming to an end???
I just bought my tab 4 days ago, don't want to even think about this tablet, I would've gotten it but too late now :/
Specs is one thing. What's important is real life performance and if there's any other possible flaw. Gtab actually looks not bad, but the software performance bogged it down. I'd by the time the Toshiba tablet is released, icecream sandwich may be released or close to be released. So unless the performance of the Toshiba tab is another class higher than grab, I see no point thinking too much about it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Looks almost identical to the Gtab! same resolution display too.... Won't be long before Apple will be taking Toshiba to the courts over this!! (or maybe Samsung will!??)

I looked at the Engadget review and the tablet looked pretty slow to me, I might be wrong. I'm very happy with my P7510 running on a vanilla 3.1 Honeycomb (soon to run on PhantomHacker's 3.2 vanilla ROM) and I'm looking forward to see Ice Cream on it.
The thing is, we will never purchase a tablet if we wait for the next "big one" to come out. Technology changes so fast that is not worth to trouble yourself. Just enjoy the tablet and use it to death, I personally think that my Tab 10.1 is an excellent product.
Well, I am not waiting for the next big one but just for one that does not have Tegra2 inside, looks OK, has I/O's I want and 3G connectivity.
So, just to have something for now I bought iPad 1 3G few weeks ago. As it is very limited device I was waiting for it to get right price. $350 for new one on warranty is OK. Now I can wait till end of the year to get Excite or Holiday or TF2 or Xoom2.... Will see.
If you want to wait, an alternative would be the HP Touchpad for $99 (fire sale instead of $499). It runs on WebOS which is awesome and I'm pretty sure someone will make an Android ROM for it eventually. Don't expect a great quality build, though.
The Tosh looks very nice, another weapon in the Android armoury. I'm still very happy with my Samsung 16Gb Wifi.

It would be all true if folks like me could actually get it.
IMHO if you want (especially 3G) tablet now, good one, for reasonable price, just to keep you going till the one you really want is out iPad1 seems like a great deal.
Does most of the stuff Tegra 2 tablets do, has 3G and new one can still be found pretty cheap (half of the zoom price for example). And form me video capabilities all almost the same.
There will be always something new and better than what's available currently in the market. By the time Toshiba excite gets released to the market, even more better tablet with awesome specs will be shown at a new tech show taking place anywhere on this planet Earth.

I'm feeling exactly the same as you. The size and weight of the GT 10.1 was perfect but the poor video decoding performance of the Tegra 2 and lack of MicroSD card slot was a real let down. The AT200 seems like it will be perfect for me (assuming the OMAP proc is a lot better for video decoding). I just hope it comes out real soon to the UK market. If they delay it too long then I may be put off with official specs of ICS tablets.
It is the same SOC as in new Archos G9 series (like them but they look "cheap") and they say it will "Play" anything and everything. ;-)
Dont even think about getting the tab 10.
The Ti OMAP4 4430 in the toshiba is far superior to Tegra 2.
Ti OMAP4 4430 has A9 cores with Neon processing. Tergra 2 does not have the Neon processing and will be much slower when running apps which use Neon code and alot of apps are starting to use it.
Ti OMAP4 4430 has DUAL channel memory controller. Tegra 2 only has a single channel. Since video memory is shared, dual channel will give double the memory bandwidth which is highly needed since video memory is shared from system memory.
Ti OMAP4 4430 has SUPERIOR video decoding hardware compared to tegra 2. You can finally play real HD 1080p video. Tegra 2 decoder is so slow it cant decode main and high HD profiles which is what everyone uses.
For the newcomers to this forum, don't put much stock in anything ^ this person says. He's a known troll who will say one thing in one thread and then turn around and say the exact opposite in another.
On topic, the Excite looks like a nice machine. Do we have a US release date for it yet?

Full specs have been released.
Does it have an amazing screen like the Samsung SPLS? Screen quality along with weight is what made my decision. However im disappointed in the current state of honeycomb/tablet apps. I would expect apps like Google+ to have the hangout video support. Lack of skype video is also a huge downer. My older samsung galaxy 7 also had way better video playing support.

No, but don't worry, I do not think Europe has one either .
And two facts:
1. OMAP is a definitely better SOC than Tegra 2 - no arguing here. The only thing at which Tegra 2 might be better (we will have to wait and see, but I doubt it myself) is energy management.
I am worried about battery life of a tablet with 1,2 - 1,5 Ghz clock.
2. It will be cheaper in US than in EU - fact.
Now, one more "issue" we might encounter by the time it is in the shops. What will be a better choice - tablet with Omap4 or Tegra3/Kal-El with 4 cores and new architecture? (unless nvidia made an intel trick or the one they do with graphic cards - Tegra 3 is two Tegra 2 cpu's on a single chip - this would suck I think)
Good day everyone,
I'm stuck in a predicament and looking for some assistance into taking a decision.
- I want to buy my wife a 7" Tablet, she will use it for reading on the train and such but also internet browsing at home and media use.
- screen has to be good, now my issue is that there's so many out there and I have a limited budget, max 300$.
- With so many tablets out it's getting harder and harder to chose, (A100, A1, B&T Tablet, Kindle Fire, Galaxy Tab 7+
now I've been reading a lot about them and they're all good choices, but there's a always a little something that keeps me from choosing a clear winner.
Also to note I'm looking for a tablet that can offer the full android experience (market, launchers), I've included Kindle fire and Nook Tablet because I'm looking at the possibility of flashing roms on them unlock their full potential.
Preferred Specs:
RAM: 1GB RAM
Storage: At least 16GB otherwise uSD slot
Processor: Dual-Core
OS: Eventually support ICS with HA, the thing about HA is that apparently Nook Tablet might not support it because the kernel ver. is too low and doesn't support HA. I don't know if that's a software issue or hardware limitation.
The only one that doesn't fit the profile is the Galaxy Tab as it's 400$, otherwise i'd be the number 1 choice hands down, this thread wouldn't exist if that was the case.
A100: Issues are mainly battery life, not much Dev, support. (Official ICS dunno about HA)
Kindle Fire: 8GB storage, no expansion, ROMS TBD
Nook Tablet: Locked Bootloader, ROMS TBD (Older Kernel, no HA for ICS TBD)
Lenovo A1: Low RAM, Old processor (thinking ICS w/ HA)
Any1 can shed some additional info that can help assist me into finally picking the right tab.
Thank you in advance

Moving to Q&A
bump for new section
I always narrow down to low priced tablets, which leave you with the Kindle Fire and the Nook Tablet. The Kindle Fire is, for some bloody reason, powered by Froyo so I kill that and suggest the Nook Tab.
I'd suggest to take the Vizio Vtab1008 into account, it has only a single core CPU 1ghz 512mb ram and is 8'' but its a very nice device with a good display and it costs ~200$ only
And it sports a nice it blaster to use it as a nice universal remote for home entertainment...
So...one of the big reasons that I bought my Nook Tablet was for the RAM. Yeah, the display is better than the Kindle fire, but when it comes down to it, one of the major differences is the RAM and the SD slot. When it comes to the potential for development I figured that those 2 variables would make a big difference...
How many of you did the same thing? Do you feel like it was the right decision? I follow the development thread daily, and it seems promising... Then I look at the kindle fire threads and feel sad.
Sigh...
I'm no longer sad. Thanks everyone! We'll have ICS running soon. Can't wait.
same here. we have the same sediments.
.
i have a hong kong tablet ( haipad ) also with half the memory and so it does not run as zippy as the nook... my next tablet will be an iPad 3 ( just joking... )
Patience is a virtue.
Remember Kindle is sold worldwide, Nook Tablet is USA only.
Better screen sd slot and double memory is a kill feature, i bet a lot of kindle owners envy us
I live in Cyprus (Europe) and i paid $250+$48 delivery + $45 VAT and taxes and am still very happy with my buy and i dont even have warranty and am the only one to have this tablet in my Country.
I paid 250 + 16 us tax + free shipping to my DinersBox (credit card service) in Miami +10- shipping to Equator .

I considered the extra memory and microSD slot when I decided to buy the NT. Since I've owned it and played with a friend's Kindle Fire, I appreciate these two things even more, plus the better screen. The Fire doesn't zeem as "zippy" as the NT, and I like the NT reader better. The ability to boot of the microSD is something I now consider a "must have" feature, so I'm really happy I didn't buy a Kindle Fire. I came close, but actually played with both at a store the day they came out -- and promptly bought the NT. We now have two of them.
Great points. I haven't really had a chance to play with the kindle fire.. Knowing that you can tell a difference gives me confidence that I made the right decision.
I tried out both the kindle fire and the nook tablet for a little while from people who had them at my school. In the end the determining factor was the UI. They're both god awful but I like the NT's desktop approach as opposed to the carousel view. The specs were nice too but I had no idea I was going to be rooting and flashing roms on it. I think I made the right choice and I don't regret a thing.

Being able to get the Google Play Store without any internal modification (thanks to the SD card) is huge and reason enough to have the Nook Tablet. And no hardware volume switch would drive me nuts.
That said, my Dad recently got a Kindle Fire and it ran pretty smoothly with much better non vibrating speakers (probably the thing I envy most!) I didn't detect any major difference in performance when I compared Flash video streaming so perhaps the Kindle RAM is sufficient at least for now.

Yep... me too
I bought this for my wife. (I buy things I like and give them to people, who knows what they want as a gift). She liked it out of the box, but my primary purpose was to root and explore. It is definitely one of the best pieces of hardware available within that price range. I still haven't rooted, but the fact that I'm in this forum means it wont be long now. Can't wait to break out of the BN cage.
I bought the NT as an extra device to play with. So far I'm happy with my purchase.

I love my NT. Played with the ipad 2 and just felt it was too bulky and hard to read from. The kindle fire had a good feel and I didn't notice a lag in speed but what at really sold me on the NT was the sd card slot. And I'm happy with the mods I've made. All in all, a great buy!
I sampled a series of android tablets before ending up with the NT. Through careful purchasing (and returns) I tried out an unmodified NT first, a Lenovo K1, a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and a Lenovo A1. I bought the final NT and rooted and installed CM7.
I find I like the 7in. form factor much more that the 10in. I miss the cameras, gps and bluetooth. I pretty much got the NT as an interim tablet, to use and play around with until the new stuff comes out later this year. I'm actually looking forward to the Win8 tablets.

Nope, we have 2 'ducati' cores that are specifically used for graphics and video decoding. Those haven't been utilized (I think) in any ROMs up till now. Ducati cores require their own special 'governor/kernel elements. Rebellos' job is to write these kernel elements and we are sending him a Nook as we speak. So we will have our normal dual core 1ghz processor with the addition of our 2 ducati cores. 2+2=4 4=quad. We've got a quad core tablet on our hands gentlemen.

I am in the market for an android tablet but seeing as times are hard I can only really stretch to one of the following two models...
Sumvision Cyclone Voyager 7"
B&N Nook HD
Please can someone list the pro's and con's for each device bearing in mind that I enjoy tinkering with custom ROMs and the such but ultimately would like to end up with a tablet that works well for general day to day browsing, YouTube and a little gaming.
Thanks in advance!
PS. If this is posted in the wrong location then I am very sorry, and hopefully one of the mods can move it for me!
Check out the specs on Hisense Sero 7. It compares well with the original Nexus7 and cost around $130 at Walmart.

I suggest you buy PIPO M8Pro.
I would like you to wait for few more months..........it is because, in a few months, the market will be flooded with highly powerful, low cost MediaTek Quad-Core MT8135 - specially designed for tablets. This is set to change the market. Even the upcoming kindle will use it.
Best buy = 7+ inch HD display, MT8135 Quad core processor, 2GB RAM @ around 120-150$ !
MediaTek, with its new MT8135, among the first SoC designers to have adopted the ground-breaking big.LITTLE processing technology which is designed to address the energy and thermal issues associated with multicore system-on-chip (SoC) solutions. ARM big.LITTLE technology enables the creation of dual-cluster SoCs, with one high-performance (big) cluster for processing intensive tasks and a highly energy-efficient (LITTLE) cluster for executing routine functions.
