Considering buying a Player for my gf - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Possibly buying one for her for christmas. Main reason would be for voip calls, either with skype, magicjack or viber etc. She only has a blackberry so this would be closest thing to a smart phone / device she'll have.
She normally favours small devices. What size screen would be appropriate in terms of practicality? I would want her to be able to play fruit ninja and angry birds smoothly as well.

whatsapp should work out of the box. I actually have never tried Skype or video calling on the player. It should work though because it has a front facing camera and I believe it is better on the 3.6

I don't have a 3.6. Skype calls and video calls work well on the SGP 5.0. I wouldn't suggest running other apps in the background as Skype does use a lot of proc power to run.
I would suggest getting the 4.2 since the screen resolution is a lot better than the 3.6 (the 4 and 4.2 are mostly the same and the 4.2 is newer but its your call.)

I suppose Skype would work on the 3.6 as anyone else. So if you're looking for the cheapest and she mainly needs it for calls, the 3.6 is the way to go (if you want a brand new device).
On Amazon the 3.6 is $150 and the 4 is $180. But they have refurbushed ones (4.0) for $130. They also have used 4.2 for $150.

Ive decided n the 3.6 player. Do you think id need to get a case or screen protector for it? Does the build quality require one over time?

7510 is the wifi model. Run to the developmemt thread and flash galaxy task14
Get Visidon from the market for face unlock
Get Camera ICS+ to get panorama photo capability
Get Veetle for your movie viewing enjoyment
And that concludes my 2 cents

Good thread. I am looking to buy a tablet and the Samsung 7510 is on sale today. Thought about getting the Acer, but does not look like much development is going on over there. PLUS, with Samsung, I get the amoled screen
Been flashing my Vibrant, then Galaxy S2, and finding some great ROMS along the way. I only hope there are some great ROMS for the 7510.

Like I said in your previous thread buddy You need the tegra2 plugin to make proper use of the core's since by default it feel's rushed?

Temple Ruined?

Anyone else played Temple Run on the 10,1? Is it just me or do you need a giant's finger to swipe, That and for some odd reason random jumps and slides -.-
I don't know if it's the disappointment in the tab or the app. I feel both are responsible.
It is quite hard to play on teh tablet. just doesnt react like it should.
I also have the same problem. It looks like a fun, fluid game, but the controls are entirely unresponsive. Market (Play) reviews seem to agree with us. Here's hoping the dev pushes an update to the 10.1 owners
It's definitely a better experience on my Galaxy Nexus than on my Tab.
Mine worked fine till ICS, now it doesn't register my swipes at all.

I agree with the above LOL I want to play it on the damned 10.1
Then again they pushed out a brand new update today, might try it out to see if it fixes anything.
As for the swipe in ICS, I can't seem to calibrate the tablet nor do I find the option to do so in ICS. Would make the tilting easier as it is somewhat off.
I'm using stock rom and a Temple Run works perfectly.

I suppose the kang has its downsides, eitherway, not going to sacrifice a power based ROM over a 22MB game
Although it is damned addictive
Not much of a game person but yesterday I tried Temple Run on pershoot's latest 4.0.4 ROM/kernel and it worked without an issue.

I'm using Slingbox-Pro for 7 years and never had any problem with the Tilt II and now I'm using it on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy " Tablet using Android and don't have any problem either.
When I try to use it on the new samsung focus S, The windows phone reqired that you must change the slingbox pro to slingbox pro-HD. I did that, spent $250 for the slingbox pro-hd, it works for 3 months then the power supply input on the pro-hd burned up. Now I switched back to the Slingbox pro and still working good with my android tablet but will not work on the windows phone. I think the windows phone SUCK !!!.I'll switch to the Samsung Galaxy Note as soon it come out. Stay away from windows phones. Regars,

realy bad gaming compatibility -real racing 3-

Hey guys, Ive got my Nexus 10 since the first realease batch and I love it soooo much!
Only thing which realy dissapoints me is that there are a lot of aps out there (especially games)
which are not compatible with it.
Top titles like the just released Real Racing 3
I DONT GET IT.... its MADE for a device like the nexus 10....
why they are doing this to me (((
anyone knows a way to download the .apk even its not compatible?
Tegra/THD stuff won't be downloadable from Market (even though Tegra effects shouldn't be an issue on something more powerful than a Tegra 3... but w/e).
As for other games, the developer might just choose to restrict it to the most "popular" devices, and to not risk having negative reviews, mark it as incompatible with everything else. Pretty sure a Nexus 10 isn't as popular as, say, a Nexus 7, GS3, GNote, etc.
Only way to get the apk "legitimately" is to install it to a compatible device, then pull the apk off the device and then sideload it to the N10.
Real Racing 3 isn't released until the 28th?

It's the 28th in Australia. I downloaded RR3 from the play store just then on my Nexus10 and I'm currently download the extra files. Maybe it's a regional restriction?
Maybe he meant real racing 2? That ones not compatible. Not sure. Glad you're able to download it

Tried RR3. It downloaded 4.1 Gb cache but the graphics...black/white/pink textures, no reflections and shadows. Ugly, but runs fine. Better than NFS:MW on 4.2.1 and worse than on 4.2.2 with custom kernel
Im at work currently but assigned the game to my N10 via playstore. Will report in a couple of hours who it works on mine.
It really would be a shame to have such a great game not propperly working on our 'flagship' tablet. Do you maybe have this 4x anti alising thing active?

Here's a video I just made of Real Racing 3 on my Nexus 10 connected to TV with HDMI with FPS Meter running (top left of screen). Recorded with Galaxy S2 at 720p and edited a bit (to hide my rubbish driving )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdcTbyt2fWo
Runs great. FPS drops to just below 30 on a few occasions but not really noticable. Most of the time it is 30-50 FPS. TBH there is some lag in the intro videos and the menus but who cares about that.

If the games that aren't compatible are free games, I'd suggest just downloading the apk and sideloading it. One of the reason they aren't "compatible" may be due to the DNA being classified as a phablet by some people (which is the reason why Skype isn't available on the DNA).

Well it looks like they finally added DNA compatibility. If you read through this thread, Skype used to be incompatible with the DNA due to it being a phablet, according to Skype's tech support.
