Like the title says.... which do you think should be my new toy? Lapdock for our phone or a particular tablet
Pros and cons
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Negative on the lapdock.
I've been looking into the Xoom vs galaxy 10.1 and I'm partial to the Xoom because of the stock honeycomb, unlockable/lockable bootloader, and aluminum back. Some of the GT10 devices suffer from 'oil slicks' when the screen touches the glass because it is so thin.
I've also been looking into the Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet (not the ugly ideapad) but I'm thinking the dev community behind it wont be that great.

Peruse the Q&A and General sections for stories of the lapdock (both bad and good). However, between those two tablets I have no experience.

Just try to buy a TouchPad from the next batch of sales HP is supposedly gonna do in a week. By the time you ever get your hands on one, the CyanogenMod port will be out lol. Thankfully I was lucky enough to snag one within a week of the fire sale announcement. I'm typing this post on it right now actually.
Seeking your opinions, much cherished xda clan...
Just won a 16GB iPad 2 but selling it to a co-worker so I can get an Android tablet.
I'm most interested is using a tablet to read ebooks and comics, browse the web and maybe watch videos. I'd like to keep some cash from the sale so i'm looking to spend $399 max.(ideally $300 or less), prefer 10".
What are your tablet suggestions?

Do you only want Android?
Because I think HP Touchpad runs on WebOs (not sure at all ) but I've heard it's really good.
Yeah, just Android...but the Touchpad can run Android...

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.
Sent my from IPad!
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.
Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
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.

I used to feel the same way but some of these new tablets are really getting enticing.

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.

Have you looked at viewsonic gtablet? There are a lot of different roms for that once you have it rooted.
7 " size - Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus
1.Stock recovery is fully open and ready to flash out of the box
2.Fits in my pocket
3.IR Transmitter so you can use it as a remote control
4.Fast
10" size - Asus Transformer Prime
1.Best specs of any tablet right now
2.Convertible
3.Asus says they are committed to unlocking the bootloader
4.Fast
Good luck.
The original transformer is a good buy for the price and features you are looking for.
Asus announced a Tegra 3 7" today for 250. Seems oki paper.
$1 gets you a reply
Asus Transformer

I am on the fence about the Transformer. Someone I know has the original in great condition for only $300. I'm sure he is going to use the money to get the Prime. I'm wondering if its a good buy at this point or should I spend the extra two bills and get the Prime myself.
Any suggestions??
Good point
i have a HTC flyer and I'm very happy with it.
these two brands right now i think has some of the best android tablets out there right now, if i were to go with asus i would probably get the tf300 or the tf700 infinity, maybe the tf201 prime but the inifnity is the one i want most but is kind of pricey, and if i went with acer it would be the acer a510 or the a700 they both have very good battery life but get very heat, i read somewhere, so which tablet should i get? please dont have to much of a bias towards asus. i want it to be fair, im getting rid of my iconia a500 i want a tegra 3 tablet
Asus for me love it
Asus all the way.

Well for me it would come down to the Infinity or the A700. Prime would be out of the question because it is apparently gonna be the same price as the Infinity. But out of the A700 and the TF700t, the TF700T would have to win. Its much nicer looking in my opinion and I have heard the A700 can be a bit laggy running the 1080p screen.
Hope this helps.
Do the Acer tablets have the I/O problem? All the Asus tablets have terrible I/O performance because of software and slow internal memory. That causes lag everywhere when an application saves or reads data from internal flash memory.
samsung
The new Toshiba AT300 (in the U.S. Excite 10) also get good reviews.
I guess it's basically the question, do you want the keyboard dock or not...
If you do, asus is the only real option atm afaik... If not I'd seriously consider acer. (Owning a TF101 and TF201 myself btw).
