In light of the imminent iPad 3 launch I was seriously considering getting one.
When I told a friend he asked me: "Why an iPad?". My only answer was "I guess I'm brainwashed.".
Thus, I decided to browse around for Android tablets. I quickly found that there are very many of those.
I have an HTC Desire HD and am quite happy that there are still ROMs being made for it. I would like a tablet with at least a 10" screen. The price should be less than $300. What can you suggest that has good chances of being supported (on XDA) for a long time?
I've tried both kindle fire and nook tablet within the last two weeks and I'm keeping the nook. For $250 I had it home, rooted and running cm7 in less time than it took to drive home. I believe its a good value right now.
Isn't that like 7" only? I'd much prefer something bigger because I want to read PDF files without stupidly scrolling around!
Well, i have reveived my order from SpeMall for Ainol Novo 7 Elf two weeks ago, all 5 pieces of ELF are works fine and looks great in black... it's my second time to deal with them, i bought a tablet from spemall by the end of last Oct. i must confess i had doubts placing an order from a chinese website, but i had a good experience with them. Very nice.
It's a nice little machine, all works well for Internet surfing, music, youtube, skype....I think it will burn to the ground the kindle fire and the nook tablet
The iPad 3 will be well over $300. What are you comparing Apples with?
The only 10" Android tablet worth getting now is the Transformer Prime. Period.

+10000 The Transformer Prime is hands down the most incredible Android tablet out right now.
To the OP, what are you primarily looking for? Is it more important to have a tablet that is 10"? Or a tablet under $300? Or are you willing to come up from that price for a tablet with better specs?
Hate to break it to you, but you won't find any new 10" tablets that run for under $300. Most start at $400 and just go up from there. Unless, I guess, you search for refurbished, used, older models, etc. Otherwise, if you want to stay under $300, you are looking at a 7" tablet.

Hi, everyone,
So I was SO close to buying the NT yesterday. Almost pulled the trigger, then my friend started mentioning other comparable tablets for slightly higher prices, and I decided to wait a week or two and mull it over first.
Basically, what I'm looking for is a tablet that has to be under $320, and it has to be AT LEAST as powerful (CPU/RAM-wise) as the Nook Tablet. I'd like it to be pretty customizable (the NT isn't very good at this, yet). I'd like to be able to get as close to stock-UI as I can, and ICS would be AWESOME eventually.
So I've started looking into the HTC Flyer 16gb wifi. However, for some reason today it seems it's not being sold on Amazon anymore. Interesting.
My friend is kinda... not very techy, but he follows tech rumors like crazy (he thought the iPhone 4s would be the iPhone 5 and have a 3D screen or some stupid sh*t, haha), so I can't really trust him, but he says that the Asus Transformer Prime is coming out on the 8th, so the current Transformer will drop down to $300. That seems like an amazing deal, too good to be true. Also, 10 inches might be a little big for me... I actually REALLY like 7 inches. It's the perfect size: not too small but not too big.
Anyway, if it comes down to it, the NT is just fine. However, to me it seems that the Nook Tablet is 50% Nook and 50% tablet right now. I want 100% tablet. Of course, if the bootloader is ever bypassed, that's all you need, and that'd be awesome.
But if I had to buy a tablet tomorrow based on those specifications, do you have any recommendations? Nothing wrong with NT, just thought I'd explore options so I don't feel consumer's remorse.
(if this thread somehow goes against rules, I'm very very sorry. if it does, report the hell out of it, and I'll take my noob question elsewhere )
Your name fits your post. Best choice for ICS 7" tablets are the acer and samsung and even the kindle fire. I'm willing to stick it out with the Nook Tablet.
Based on your specs: do NOT get the nook TABLET.
It is unlikely to ever get ICS/Honeycomb at this point (which means NO tablet apps ever) and even CM7 is a big questionmark.
Kindle Fire and Nook COLOR are your cheap alternatives.
Otherwise, you should look at the Asus, Acer, HTC, ... tablets. (though they obviously are more expensive than the Fire or the Nook COLOR)
Just wondering what the tablet demographics of the people buying the prime are.
I don't have a tablet so this will be my first one! Was initially going to get the original but with the craziness at launch I just didn't have the time and effort to get one so I ended up buying a sweet BBQ instead.
never made a poll here before so hopefully i get it right..
edit. well that was easy!
I bought a G Tablet in November last year and had it for a couple of months. It was OK, ran well, but it was clunky and the screen sucked. I was also really disappointed at the lack of HDMI output. I don't think I'll be let down by this sleek beauty.
This'll most likely be my first tablet.
I'm playing the waiting game, to see how the first production batch works out, then I'll probably pick one up.
I've waited this long because I believe that Android really needs the power of a quad-core behind it, to really shine on a tablet implementation.
I have the Transformer, wich is my first and only tablet. I'm loving it, especialy for the dock and the overall expérience, the support from Asus and the enthousiasm from the community.
But It's not perfect, just like the first ipad, iPhone, Nexus one and every first génération of a great product.
So I'm going to buy the Prime cause I think it's a big leap forward, then sell my dear Transformer to someone else (maybe for chrismass if I get the Prime before).

I'm interested in getting the Transformer Prime (not that they're even up for preorder here yet), but I've never had a tablet before. I'm not sure where a tablet would fit into my life, but with the dock it becomes an Android netbook with a tablet option, which seems like a much more viable PC companion to me.
Currently own TF1 and pre-ordered TF2. TF1 was my first real tablet. Before that I had 7" Galaxy Tab but did not use it much. I also own Ipad 2, which I have only used once and did not like it. On the other hand I love the TF1 specially due to the dock and the convenience of use. One thing that it lacked (for me at least) was the support of high def movie playback and now that Tegra 3 has fixed the issue, it is definitely worth getting.
This will be my first tablet. Was going to buy the TF in the late summer and decided to wait for the Prime.
I have a Motorola Xoom & I will bepicking this baby up pronto lol..here's some vids i saw today...

I am buying mine because it looks like a fancy toy that I can spend some time on.
I'm overall new to tablets but the Prime looks like one great device I can't pass up. The dock brings a full qwerty keyboard, extra battery and the usb port witch makes it more then a big phone (imo). It also gives me something to do when my girl friend plays the Sims
This will be my fourth tablet. First was a Dell Streak, Viewsonic G Tablet, and Motorola Xoom.

I have an OG ipad, TF101 and will be getting the TFP. I rarely use the ipad anymore and my wife just got an ipad2 yesterday.
Love the OG transformer. Other than the initial dock battery issue I love this it. Its great for everyday use and has given me almost every reason to not have a netbook anymore. When I'm on the road all i need is something to browse XDA and techblogs mostly and pounding out a few emails here and there.
With the TFP I'm really hoping that the gaming market will increase. I have all the consoles at home but last time i really logged into my ps3 was about 5 months ago. I dont have too much time to game anymore but i love the fact that i can pick up my tablet and practically leave off where i ended last time. I'm just hoping for more games.
This will be my first tablet. I've been drooling over the first transformer (I want a mobile device for media, a bit of note-taking, and fun), but I had to get the money. By the time I got it the prime was due to come out... So i waited !
Kindle fire was/is my first tab.
I wanna get the tp. But I got Christmass for a family to deal with

This will be my first tablet. I've been waiting the market out for a while as well as the release of the one Android OS to rule them all - ICS.
What will be interesting is that my wife has an iPad2 so I'll have the opportunity to contrast and compare first hand.
This will be my first tablet. iPad just didn't do it for me.
I have a SmartQ T10 which I bought for roughly 150pounds after exchange when I was in China for business.
It was a test that to see if I have any use of a tablet, looks like I will need one for many years to come.
I currently have a ViewSonic gTablet, rooted and running Honeycomb 3.0. It is a good low-cost yet quite capable tablet, but the viewing angle limitations on the screen and lack of ongoing support from ViewSonic are cause for me to consider another tablet.
Looking forward to the Prime!
This is my third tablet, having initially bought an Advent Vega (to test out if I would even have a need for a tablet) which was then followed by a first generation transformer. My wife will be getting my transformer to replace her iPad which she sold. While undoubtedly the latter is a more slick device, it was ultimately too limiting for her (coming from her laptop with its higher resolution display therefore involving less scrolling and due to the lack of flash which she needed mostly to display products on some of the shopping sites she frequents). She wasn't that keen on Android at first because it felt 'too different' but I think she's come around to the flexibility.

Oops. Can I change my vote? lol I forgot I had a rooted Nook Color. No need to change though as this will be my first real tablet that was meant to be a tablet.
Ok so I recently broke my Archos 10 and I'm looking for a new tablet for school. I have the choice between an HP touchpad or a Nook Color I know development is stronger on the Nook but I like the larger screen since I'm coming from a 10 inch screen. Basically a asking in those two forums would be pointless since they own that device so Evo 3D/ other device holders which one should i get?
Please note the SCHOOL part... I'm a broke student and don't have 400-600 to drop on a new tablet
neither, Asus Transformer Prime is the best tablet.
Touchpad all the way, the asus looks dope for a few hundred more though. The nook is great, but a little small for my tastes

The prime is actually 499 for the 32 GB version. Not too bad.
What do you need it for in school? If it's for taking notes you night really want to consider a cheap netbook.
I just got a Nook Tablet(the new one not the color), development isn't really rolling yet, we do have root and google market. But it does have a great screen and killer battery life(like 10 hours of continuous life). I've found that the 7 inch size is a lot more portable than I thought, Most cargo pants can fit my nook in there and it turns out most of my jackets have at least one pocket that can fit too. It's $250 so its pretty cheap. If your really on a budget there's the kindle fire($200) too.
I picked up a WiFi HTC flyer NIB over thanksgiving for $200 and its a great tablet. It's in the process of updating to honeycomb and it sure is pretty fast. I also own a touchpad but I use the flyer for all school notes because of seamless integration with evernote.

This man is right. The price to performance ratio of both the nook tablet and kindle fire really can't be beat. They can pretty much do everything that the $500 tablets can with only half the price.

I will try to answer your actual question and feel that I am pretty qualified to do so as I own both of the products of which you speak. Between the two, if you want to get work done, I would go with the HP Touchpad. I am running the CM7 Alpha 3 XRONified (custom rom based off of CM7 a3) and it is pretty darn stable. I had been using google docs through webOS to take notes and such, but now that Gingerbread is pretty much stable, I am using Quickoffice Pro (thanks amazon free app of the day). I did purchase the BT keyboard when I got this so this really helps. The NC absolutely has had some amazing developer interest and I have been extremely happy with what I have been able to get out of it, but some are really beginning to move on. In fact, Dalingrin who is one of the better known NC devs is now a TP dev and has mentioned that he believes that ICS will run a lot better on TP than NC (duh!). However he said part of the reason is waning dev interest.
I guess if you want a "proof is in the pudding" statement. When I just had my NC, I carried both my 17 in laptop and my NC with me to school and the only school related thing I did with my NC was to display speaker notes when I was giving a presentation. Now I only bring my TP and BT keyboard with me. My laptop stays at home for heaving lifting (though I have a new smaller and lighter laptop) and my NC has been relegated to being an ereader.
I had more I wanted to write but lost track, but please let me know if you have any more direct questions that I can help you with.
Okay. Here is what you really want.
You want the Asus Transformer 1
The first Asus just had a Black Friday Sale for $250 and the price online has dropped.
You can easily get a used mint condition Asus Transformer 1 online for about $250. It is the best device I have ever purchased. With the keyboard dock it is amazing. You just can't beat a tablet for school that gets 16 hours of battery life.
Here is an example of a cheap one on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-Eee-Pa...=US_Tablets&hash=item2c61489954#ht_500wt_1156
Check it out, I had the touchpad, it just couldn't beat the dock. The dock is stable so you don't have to balance your tablet while you type, it gives you more battery, and usb and sd card slots for transferring files.

This would have been my advice since I also saw the $249 black friday price. However, who knows if it will be that price again anytime soon. Plus he is looking at about $100 for a dock. So now, assuming an absolutely best case scenario, he would be spending 150 more than he was looking to spend. This is why still went with the TP.
Also, the TP doesn't have a problem balancing with the HP case (or any trifold case for that matter).
Agreed transformer 1 is the way to go and as was said you should have no prob finding one for 250 - 300.
I have an acer iconia 500 and for the price you cant beat it. Quite a bit of dev action and its a solid hc tab.

Wow! This actually made my decision easier the only thing I was unsure of was the use of Bluetooth keyboards and compatibility which would make notes and portability much easier compared to a netbook/notebook
I would go for a newer tablet like most of you are mentioning but since my biggest factor is price a $150 32GB HPTP is my best bet since its for notes and books and its not too expensive
Thanks for the input all

No problem. Also, the HP case is great, but you can get unofficial ones that will work for only a few bucks off of ebay. The main advantage that the HP case has is that the bezel is exposed which is important for the gestures available for WebOS. If you are just going to use it for android, though, this becomes a lot less important. I have the HP BT keyboard and it works great, but I am sure that you can use any BT keyboard. Also, if you can find a touchstone for cheap it is not necessary, but nice but you can wait on that since you are trying to save money.
I would be careful in getting your hopes up though, I don't think that you will find a HPTP for only 150 anymore. I looked at ebay and it looks like it will cost closer to $200
Ah I thought you wanted to be under 400 but yea 150 for the touchpad is tough to beat. Out of budget but just to give u something else to look at Bestbuy has the transformer on sale for 299.
www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp...p=&qp=&list=n&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960
I personally have the touchpad. With the update HP pushed out a few weeks ago and some of the pre ware available, webos really isn't that bad to use and the browser is, I personally think, the beat browser out on any tablet.
Then, when I'm not in school or on weekends, I boot into android for the apps and the fun.

i have the NC and touchpad like Drachen808
i agree with his statements, the touchpad is superior in every way and it has fantastic development behind it
I think I would go with a Flyer for $299. With the stylus you could take notes, it's a nice 7" form factor, etc. I wouldn't bother with a Fire or Nook (either) if you are planning to take notes with it.
On the flip side, the iPad 3 and more quad-core Androids will be coming out very soon, which will either provide a better option or it will drive the price of these older ones down.

Yesterday she turned 9 and she received a whopping $400 in cash from friends and family, now she wants to buy a tablet like mine. I would like to keep it Android of course and around $300 -$350. Her mom has a Kindle Fire ,but the UI seems a little to difficult for her to navigate (Carousel). She does have experience playing with her mothers Samsung Fascinate phone and I see that Best Buy has the 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab on Sale this week. Is that a good option in your opinion? Or should I go after an Original Asus Transformer or maybe something else?

We gave our 3 year old our Dell Streak 7, and bought our daughter the Vizio tablet for Christmas, that way they no longer ask for our two new primes.
Make sure you buy one with Gorilla glass. Also, the nook Tablet is $199 and is far superior to the Kindle Fire. Great choice for a 9 year old.

Not sure if you can really call it trading up. Yes the hardware is better and all, but my 32GB TP was a great deal ($130 after my discounts and stuff).
Anyway, I'm think I can break even or lose a little if I put it up for sale (it's in mint shape with everything).
You guys think its worthwhile to trade it for a $250 tablet? I'm getting the 16GB from Gamestop because they are taking trade-ins for some stuff that I have (iPods and games) and giving an extra 30%. Can't beat that!
Thoughts on moving to a 7in tab? I already have a Galaxy Nexus and I've been trying to find side by side comparison with the two together. Not sure if it'd be too redundant to have those 2 devices....
I'm tempted to do the same. But whenever I use a Nook or Fire I don't think I want that size. I wish I could get my hands on the Nexus 7 and JB. The software may just make it worth it, but its almost half the size, and I mostly use it for web browsing.
Hands down I would say the Nexus 7 mops the floor with any of the 7" devices out there. I wonder is Google is too afraid to lose to the iPad to make a 10" Nexus. If it does bad they can say the 7 doesn't compete with the iPad, but you can't say that with one the same size.
Sent from my Galaxy S II
There are rumors that they will come out with another 10" tablet this fall. Not sure what they would do to differentiate it. Right now there are some decent 10" tablets, but other than a cameras they aren't much better speced than the touchpad.
I too am on the fence, 7" is just so small for what I use my tablet, surfing and games. If you wanted something truly portable it might be right though.

I concur with this—my girlfriend has a Fire and, while Amazon has done a nice job with it, I find the size too small for what I use a tablet for—though the size is probably ideal for reading electronic books. For on the go stuff, I use my Galaxy Nexus—for couch surfing, simple email and personal travel, I really prefer the 10-inch tablet.
I just put in a pre-order for the Nexus 7. It's too tempted considering the trade-in deals I got from Gamestop.
So I'll wait and see...
And our TP isn't even really a 10" tab... So it really doesn't help my cause of having a device that's only 2 inch smaller.
Just ordered me a 16gb model. I still plan to keep my TouchPad (I would never abandon it) and use it more as a CrapperPad or for other random uses.
I'm just getting tired of games and apps not working properly for the TouchPad. It's been a hell of a fun ride with it, but it's time to move on.
I was looking forward to sell my TP and buy nexus 7,but im not sure yet,because i love TP size and speakers. Just wait till nexus 7 official release,watch more reviews and then decide. If 7" screen is not problem for you then it's a good deal.
I say go for it. I read the review on cnet and it sounds cool.
I think it's great. Especially since it's a nexus. I was gonna go for one but I think everyone is selling their touchpads on ebay which has reduced their value to the point where it's not worth selling.
