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.
So next month I'm going to mwc and need to be blogging and writing word documents, I can't be bothered to take a heavy mbp so I was thinking of buying the transformer ..
Good investment guys? Also is it as nice to hold as the ipad is?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
As nice to hold? Go to a store and try... How can we decide how it holds for you?!
And no, not a good investment in the sense that it'll prolly decrease in value within months... But yeah, it's still a great tablet and combined with the dock suitable for the things you want just fine. Dunno about how suitable it is for extensive working like that.
Awesome tablet bro but would never call a newly released gadget a good investment, cash wise that is ;#)
Yeah bad wording on my behalf.. I've ordered one anyway! Only reason I asked about hololding was the old transformer had sharp edges
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
No, terrible investment.
But great toy =)
Picked one up saturday myself. No complaints so far. FYI Office Depot has some Docks / Keyboards in stock, if you consider picking one up. Let us know what series you got and if there are any issues..

It is definitely a good investment as long as you get the keyboard. This is the main feature, in my opinion, that puts the Prime ahead of any other tablet out there (including the iPad). The SwiftKey X keyboard is great when the keyboard dock is not attached, however there a few bugs with SwiftKey and some Android apps out there (Polaris Office is virtually unusable when using SwiftKey X to as your keyboard).
I had the Prime for a week and a half before I could finally find the keyboard dock and I can say it is truly a great experience with the dock. Even without the dock the thing is amazing but the full sized keyboard, gesture enabled track pad, USB port, extra battery and SD card slot really turn the tablet into a true 'laptop' like experience. The keyboard and track pad are very responsive as well, which was something I was worried about as I have used cheap netbooks/laptops before where the track pads were terrible and the keyboards had a noticeable lag. I have had a few random reboots which would be my only complaint, so if you play games or are writing a long document be sure to save often just in case.
As far as the thing dropping in price after a few months, I do not think this is going to happen. ASUS has stated that the Prime is going to be sold along side the TF701 and the 701 is going to be marketed as the step up model. If you look at the original Transformer that was launched 10 months ago, it is still being sold for 450 bucks (for the 32GB version). Sure, over time the Prime will drop in price but I don't think that is going to be anytime soon.
Yeah a TFP + dock + mouse = great for blogging, assuming you'll be blogging directly onto the website.
As for word documents, you may have to buy an office suite app. It comes with Polaris Office, which is decent, but I like OfficeSuite Pro, although I don't think either has a spell checker...

Let us know how it works for you. I have the Note already, waiting for the Prime to deliver in a few days.
Hopefully that combo will convince me to get rid of the Macbook Air
I love my note but also plan to use the prime at work when training staff etc.. Need portability with Internet access and documents it seems perfect!

So what do you think the reviews & market response to the Nexus 10 will be?
Do you think they should have offered a keyboard dock option with usb etc to better differentiate from iPad as a consumption device & compete better with the coming onslaught of Win8 hybrid tabletbooks?
I don't get why people want a keyboard dock so badly. You can buy a wireless blue tooth keyboard for less money and it is much more flexible in giving you the option of when you want to use it.

Since this is a Nexus tablet, I imagine Google want to keep the tablet focused purely on the tablet experience and not a convertible laptop (they have a Chromebook to sell you if you want a laptop).
I'd love to have a keyboard dock, but I'm not expecting it on a Nexus tablet. Also Google probably doesn't to upset their partners too either that do make these convertible tablets.

Have you ever tried to type on a tablet and bluetooth keyboard on your laptop?
No dockable keyboard is a deal breaker for me. Also will make many people opt for other tablets that have this feature, and there are lots of choices now.
I think this will fair far better in the market than any other 10inch Android tablet because it has the Nexus name it and all the Nexus devices are great and people are starting to notice

Which is a good thing for Google.
The main thing I'm hoping for is if the screen has a good contrast ratio. It's more important than resolution imo.
I am aiming to get one of these for work. No keyboard dock doesn't both me, I will just get a bluetooth keyboard and a stand if I would to do any in depth document editing.
Some of the management at work use iPads but I am going to try to sell them on this due to better productivity features like email widgets, Google Drive integration, etc. Oh and also the much lower cost.
One one of these and a Nexus 4 for like the price of a 3G iPad and you can just tether it to your Nexus 4 anyways....
I am a uni student and I need a nice tablet to make notes, record lectures, and read documents with. I am into games too but barely have time to play. I want something that will be useful two years from now. I am big on performance and graphics.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
e Nexus 7 is a powerful enough device with 1gb RAM which only sounds insufficient due to the 2gb devices that have come out(nexus 10). You could also consider the Asus Transformer series as you can get a keyboard dock with a built in battery and a full sized USB port, also a micro SD card slot but you won't get the vanilla android experience and timely updates like you will on the Nexus. It depends on what you prefer. Hope that helped.

Most tablets don't have specific keyboard attachments made by the manufacturer; Asus is the exception, if you think you need a keyboard, check out the Transformer series of tablets. I owned an Asus Tf700 tablet w/ the keyboard dock and IMO found the keyboard too small for accurate/quick typing. Instead, I use a Wacom Bamboo stylus and digitally "handwrite" my notes using two apps; 7Notes & Evernote. 7Notes is a keyboard replacement for handwriting text and actively converts your writing to typed text; in combo w/ Evernote, I love it. At the end of the day I have clean, organized & typed notes saved in the cloud on my Evernote account.
Me? I have a laptop w/ normal sized keyboard for typing; I bought my tablet for just that..a tablet lol.
My reasons for getting the N10:
- Pure Google/Android experience & almost instant updates. (2 yrs use is absolutely achievable w/ a Nexus device)
- Great specs & design doesn't look anything like an iPad + the display is gorgeous.
- And of course school; this includes taking notes as I'm also a college student.
Also, Highlighting text is pretty straight forward & easy for copy/paste actions.
I said to 1gb referring to the nexus 7. And using Bluetooth as a keyboard would kill battery. I'm on my phone will get to my desktop soon and research. I love the bonus power from the Asus tho.

I have the exact same requirement too. I plan on reading docs, books, making notes and watch movies/tv shows occasionally. I plan on getting the nexus 10 seeing as it has the best screen res amongst all android tablets, thereby making reading books like harrisons medicine more convenient.
That being said, I will probably sell the N10 and order a Note 10.1 2 with a full HD display the moment it becomes available(at some point in the future). From what I've seen, the productivity on a note is unparallelled amongst android tabs.

Waiting game is hard, but be strong and wait till CES comes around. For a student, having a Wacom stylus is a must and N10 simply doesn't fit the bill. Like a previous poster said, lets hope they release higher-res followup to the Note.
May be just may be ASUS will wake up and add stylus to the Transformer line (TF1000 ?
The jury is out on Windows 8 RT - it is DOA ... darn shame, as MS Note is the best note taking app ever, period. Sammy has 2 Windows 8 tablet out (Ativs) out, but too many folx are complaining about quirky stylus, battery life doesn't even come close to android tablets or Ipad ... Surface Pro will suffer from the same short @ss battery life.
It is sad state of affairs in the tablet market, as far as students are concerned ... will probably take another year for the ultimate tablet to emerge.

Battery life is fantastic. And in regards to "not enough apps for tablets", there's really nothing Google can do about that. That's up to app developers, not Google.
Not to mention, that Android tablets never reeall had the issues other tablets had.. most scale perfectly, and you wouldn't know they aren't for tablets (this goes for things like many games, web browsers, office aps, etc) . Those that do have problems are normally quick to get updates... frankly, the the issue is really overrated ..
I'm a student and I have been using it to study, although not take notes. I would not recommend this for taking notes because of the lack of the palm guard. Makes it very difficult and awkward to take notes on. As other posters have said, get the Galaxy Note 10.1 if you would like to take notes seriously. However, the Note 10.1 I ultimately decided against because the screen resolution got terrible reviews and I am huge on that, also the vanilla Android experience was too much for me to say no to. I really enjoy my Nexus 10 so far, and can get over the fact that there is no palm guard. Its a great device for the price overall

Is definitely hard to beat for many aspects but this tablet just isn't right for you, I can respect that although you may ultimately be displeased with other tablets for reasons that the nexus 10 excels in. I do think you ought to look into the note 10.1 if you are most concerned about note taking. Good luck finding the right gadget sir or madam

I know right! I've already dented my phone because they're taking too long! Ughh the struggle
I would like a slider keyboard case for the Note. To turn it into a Droid basically. Of course even better would be if Samsung made a slider version of the Galaxy or Note. I do NOT like onscreen keyboards or keys. Still miss my Droid 2 qwerty. Love TouchWiz but miss those lovely hard keys. There are still a lot of qwerty fans out here. Even if it was just an add-on case I'd buy it, if it was a very good quality product I'd pay up to 70 or 80 for it. But not for some some cheapo wallet case with an iphone bluetooth keyboard in it. Slim, sliding if possible, and nice big keys for the Note with good layout design. Anyone else dig it?

I'm not going to write long articles with it. Though if it's comfortable I might. I just want it for every-day texting and what not. I am a write, so my average text is never under the 164 character limit or whatever the limit is. And Idk why it would matter what swiftkey supports.
I know, that's another problem. I was hoping to have a slider case, like the original droid's keyboard did. It just slid out and you typed... Those were the days

I'm looking for a thumb keyboard case to work with my Note 3. Something small that I will be able to touch type with without looking at the keyboard. Does anyone know any that they trust aren't a crappy product?
I did find this one, but I want to be sure before I buy it. http://www.amazon.com/TOP®-Bluetooth-Removeable-Detachable-Portfolio/dp/B00FRDVXHO

I know what would be just the PERFECT lil keyboard for you...the TREWGrip: Universal Handheld Keyboard and Air Mouse that's currently trying to get enough funding through their KickStarter campaign...THIS looks like just the keyboard for ya! Also, here's a short-n-sweet little review from NBC News for you. This new little device seems to have a lot of people either lovin' it or hatin' it, with most people leaning over towards the latter. I, myself, have never seen such a thing in the wild and I'm also not a big fan of keyboards, let alone keyboards like this one...but to each his own. At least check it out, as it's a very interesting new piece of technology that's at the very least worth reading about! :good:

We want a keyboard case so it can fit in our pocket. Thank you everyone for the links.. But a big bluetooth keyboard or that weird sideways keyboard aren't fitting in a pocket. The Note is already giving my pocket a workout! Well I'll wait for now, or maybe make one myself.
We'll be waiting forever. No one seems to be interested in making one... If you do end up making one please let me know! I will pay you for it.

Ugh I know. I'd be willing to pay a LOT. Like $70 or even a bit more if it was GOOD. Not hacked together. Though even if it was a bit hacked together if it worked and was relatively durable I'd pay near to half that. Yeah if I make one it probably won't be pretty lol but i'll keep you updated. I'll post how I did it if so. I'll wait a bit more and keep looking for QWERTY slider keyboard cases for the Note 3. I will post back if one is found!
