Well as it says I just sold my laptop to buy a tablet. I don't want to buy a tablet right now due to the prices are probably fixing to drop. Question is, will the note be big enough to cruise the internet, watch videos, and other **** till I buy a tablet? Coming from a skyrocket don't know if the almost a inch bigger will make that much difference. Thanks in advance for your thoughts

I've owned a tablet ever since the original iPad. currently i own the galaxy tab 10.1. i love the tablet, but I find that I am not really using it since I got the note. So this week I decided to sell my galaxy tab.
I gave my Motorola Xoom to my wife since I had no use for it since I got my note. It satisfied all my tablet needs, and then some.
I still have my ipad2 but use it ALOT less now.that i have the note. I use the ipad at school and for movie watching on the go. That's about it.

Well..as much as I love the Note, I would certainly rather look at a 9.7" screen than a 5.3" one.
It is all up to you!
For me...no it does not replace my tablet, except when I am away from home .

Is anyone else excited about the transformer prime releasing on dec 8th. The specs are amazing. Just wanted to get your input on this tablet as I am looking into buying it when it releases. How good do u all think development will be? Thanks for responding.

Yes, no question.
Love the keyboard add-on too.
I really wish they would be smart about the price and go lower than $499.99 though.
seriously considering it. had an ipad2 but sold it once the et4g came out. the transformer prime looks RIDICULOUS
I love my transformer 1 but the prime is everything I wished the TF1 was especially than it's thinner and lighter than the ipad 2, thinner but just a hair heavier than the galaxy tab 10.1. I most likely wont be able to get it for myself until january. Then I plan on buying the tablet first, selling my tf 1 and dock, then buying the dock
Nuff nuff gonna sell my hp touchpad to cover part of the prime

I'm with you guys. It is gonna be great. His was the first transformer prime? Is Dec 8th the actual release date?
Yes Matty the keyboard looks so cool. I'm selling my Ipad for this beast.

It does have nice specs, and it's thin and all that, but I have some reservations. First, it's expensive, especially if you get the keyboard. The quad-core(actually 5 core) Tegra chip sounds good, but until apps are written to specifically take advantage of it, the speed increase won't be as great as it could be. I would have preferred a screen with better than 1280x800, and lived with a dual-core processor.
Foo shooo... Got my pre order in from newegg. My first tablet!

I won't buy until it has a USB port ON THE TABLET. Bummer because it's close to perfect otherwise.
Better resolution would have been nice.
I'll wait for Samsung to release their next tablet before ever going with an Asus tablet again. I went through 4 TFs before giving up and jumping to the GT10.1. Haven't looked back since. The TF had one of the worst build quality I have seen on an electronic device.
hopefully early next year, so far its the only tablet I've had any interest in.

I have the og transformer, and really want to get the new one, but I can't really justify spending all that money on my college student budget when my og does most of the same. The transformer is an awesome tablet though. For anyone who doesn't have one already I recommend it.
It is especially great for college students who need a proper keyboard to take notes on in class and need the extra battery life so they can stay on campus all day and not worry about getting the coveted spots with outlets to study at.
Maybe if I can sell my og with keyboard for around 400 then I can upgrade.

I'm probably going to do it. I've been holding off on a tablet for years now, and at this point I feel one such as the Prime is more than powerful enough to last me through several years of tantalizing new chipsets. I still use a 1.6ghz dual core laptop from '06. ;-)
I personally don't see the use for tablets if you a Smartphone and a laptop.... tablets don't make calls and can't do a lot of what a laptop can do but to each his/her own. I personally won't be buying one, instead I will wait for quad core phones to hit and then cough up the 500 to upgrade early from my magnificent ET.
I probably won't be picking it up as I have the original TF and dock and hardly get any use out of it to begin with. Shame because the Prime looks amazing. I think a full blown laptop would have better suited my needs.

John that is one hell if a question. I don't know but wouldn't it have to be windows to run Odin? Also it is hard to justify 500 bucks for a tablet but that quad core keeps calling my name. Lol. Going to be selling some things to help with the cost so I feel better.

I got them around the same time, and I believe that I'll be returning the iPad to Best Buy tomorrow. The Note has pretty much made the iPad unecessary. I didn't think it would fill the void of a tablet, but it definitely has.
Anyone else put their tablets to rest after getting the Note?
I actually got my ipad as a gift of my girlfriend, and hardly use it the note wins hands down,I can do whatever I want, watch movies in mkv,flac support,add music without itunes etc.etc
Hardly use it

I think once i get an extended battery i will say the same. Right now the battery life on the Note just isn't close to a Tablet. If I get that Mugen 5400 I think I will quickly forget about the Tablet ;-)

I solved this with the Samsung charger/battery combo. It's great to be able to swap batteries.
To me, tablets are giant phones that don't make calls. So with the Note, I get near small tablet size while being able to still use it as a phone. I love it. I agree with the OP, I don't need a tablet with the Note.
Not exactly the same but for me I refused to get a tablet, I just don't like the form factor of having a large slate. I knew something smaller and more manageable would come out and the gnote is it.

Last month, I decided to buy a handgun instead of the new iPad. No regrets since I did have the iPad 2 and it was collecting dust.

I have a Xoom too and do not use it nearly as much as I used to. The Note pretty much does everything I need, probably won't sell the Xoom though.

I rarely use my tablet anymore.
Note > iPad
I sold my ipad last week to get some money back for other gadgets. I do miss it a bit like using it lounging on the couch. You can just see more of a web page as i dont use my laptop much anymore. I think i really just miss those 99 cent ios games that me and the little one used to comlete for high scores in like Rat on a skateboard and Rat On A Snow board that the play store does not have. But i agree having both is a bit redundant. Not that i game much on my phone anyway, i mainly due that on Xbox. But i must say i did find myself playing games more than normal while i had my iPad. Perhaps i was just bored lol. It's those dinky little games that seem to get you hooked! Especially the ones where you compete for high scores!

I never actually purchased a tablet for myself, since I always viewed them as nothing more than expensive 'toys'.
I only borrowed various ones from family and friends, ranging from ipad to transfer to galaxy tabs. Since I figured I would barely use a tablet that I purchased, I figured what's the point of getting 1 then.
But analysts recently have been saying that the avg tablet price may get 50% cheaper by the end of this year...so if that's really the case, then I may re-consider buying one then.
I use both of them daily, but at home I'm on my ipad2 99% of the time. Between the bigger screen and the battery life, not to mention the games its hard to compare the 2.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Hey there,
The N4 is a stellar device! The price that Google is selling it is great, too.
If you can deal with the following:
No mico-sd card
No battery exchange
Smaller screen
No Pen
Other than that, everything else is an upgrade!
It also depends on what you bought the Note for originally. I bought it as a middle-ground of my phone and tablet so I didn't have to take two things around on normal days since I like to read manga and stuff.
Again, at that price, you could easily use the N4 until the next device comes out that you might want (e.g. S4 or Note 3 perhaps?) then sell the N4.
EDIT: Oh yeah, it's a Nexus device so less waiting games for updates if you like cutting-edge OS software. This is something I'm VERY interested in if the S4/Note3 don't do it for me, I'd think about the next Nexus. If the pricing is the same, it's a deal!
Well I got my nexus today and sold my note two days ago for 350 got nexus for 350 from somebody because long waits on shipping but my first thoughts untied unrooted is small feels small AT FIRST ONLY... Screen is beautiful sharp crisp it feels very nice in my hands my thumb reached both sides of keyboard again lol is fast as hell and so responsive and it is very sexy

I have an iPad 2 16 gb 3G been offered a trade for a p7500 I'm leaning toward doing it just prefer android over ios. Although I do admit my ipad has been a good tablet my main gripes with it are the speaker which it seems the 7500 does better. Also I was hoping to be able to Bluetooth tether from my galaxy note to conserve battery over wifi tethering.
Has anyone else made the jump from an iPad 2 over to a 7500? Any regrets?
All of my family members use iPads but me. 2 ipad 2s and 2 iPad 3s.
I use galaxy note 10.1 and I love it. I would never trade mine for any iPad including upcoming iPad 5.
Lol but that's just me. I am just saying I have no regrets. I love s pen. I dunno about gal tab 2. I only used it for one day then sold it. I liked galaxy tab 2 10.1 but i wanted the pen.
Anyways u will like the tab if u like ansroid. U are talking about tab 2 10.1 right? Not tab 10.1.

Believe it's the tab 1 the p7500 I've done a lot of searching online seems to be similarly specd as the iPad 2. Obviously the tab 2 is better but I'm hoping the tab 1 will still keep me satisfied for awhile.
I would probably just stick with the ipad if I were you.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Oh, yes, stick with the ipad. If it were a tab 2 10.1, It'd be a fairly good deal, but giving away an ipad2 3g for a p7500 you're being had.

Apart from the tab 2 being newer and having a micro sd slot, there is absolutely no difference in spec to the original tab 10.1. The original wifi version cost £400 while the tab 2 only costs around £250 at the moment. Its not a better device.

Should have waited to see if there is a 3g version this tuesday when google i/o is occurs.
does yours reboot?
I got my mom a Galaxy Tab 2 and myself a Nexus 10 at the same time yesterday. My mom likes Samsung devices and is familiar with TouchWiz, so I'm sure she will love it. About the most she will do with the thing is watch Netflix, check email, and watch cat videos anyway. I probably could have gotten her a $150 Coby tablet and she would have been just as pleased.
On the other hand, my Nexus 10 is already running AOKP (for now) and I'm really digging it so far. Fast and smooth, feels great in hand, and the display is absolutely incredible. To me, that's worth the price of admission right there. Unfortunately it lacks the super deep blacks of Samsungs Super AMOLED displays, but the resolution makes up for any shortcomings due to black levels.
I think the Nexus 10 is the best ten inch tablet currently available.

Don't forget that's not some peoples thing (I can easily use my phone as a free hotspot with 4G speeds) plus there is also no guarantee that they will be launching a device with said capabilities.
Of course I do unterstand that some people do very much require their tablets to have 3G, just throwing my .02 in.
