I just spent a few minutes in best buy looking at tabs and I want one. Which ones do you all own and what is the best "bang for your buck?" I was impressed with both asus devices

I own the OG Xoom and love it. Best bang for your buck might be the Kindle Fire. Heard great reviews about it.

I have an iPad 2 and love it. (That isn't a joke, I honestly have one. You can see it in the reflection of my phone in the TWRP screenshots in that thread).
i've got the HTC Evo View (the sprint version of the flyer) and it's great. i love reading on it. and it was only $230
Transformer prime. Love it
a bad seed
There is no Rezound tablet, making this the wrong forum for the question.
Kindle fire? Thought that was an ereader

IPad or Asus transformer prime. Bang for the buck? Prime.
As for the fire, its a 7in tablet running Android but with its own unique UI I dislike. Rooted its pretty cool tho.
Rumor mill is that Asus may be making a 7in nexus tablet.
Should be cheap too.
I have two Asus TF101's and I'm going to order a new Asus TF300 on friday.
I have a kindle fire and love it!
The devs on that forum work their magic on the device. Just as the devs here work thier magic for our rezounds!
New iPad here. The iPad 2 is a great buy.

Unless something has change the KF has no hardware accelerate which means no YouTube HD video for one.

The HP Touch Pad isn't bad my man Leoisright has done a fantastic job on it. I don't think you can buy one and even if you could I would not recommend it at this point. If I was dead set on Android I would probably spend the extra cash and get the Asus Transformer Prime. Otherwise the iPad. BTW I haven't had to buy any apps for the iPad. Also the apps are much more mature then they were on Android.

Nothing wrong with asking this question
In general. Everyone thinks their a moderator

I have the third gen iPad as well. It's great. The touchpad is also pretty nice. CM 9 with cornerstone is pretty hard to beat!
Dell Streak 7. It's an acquired taste. But I love it. Tegra 2 running Honeycomb.

i have no problem with u posting this in the general... but i myself want one but cant decide either
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.

Same here man! My iPad is work issue. Yet I find myself using it far less than the Note. The fun factor on the Note is infinitely higher.

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.

The Note2 is light years ahead of the iPhone 5. Apple has a lot of catching up to do!
Yeah I've been an Android user since the g1 and couldn't think of ever using an iPhone. My wife loves her iPad but was tired of carrying that thing around so she traded her Samsung Alias (old ass flip phone) for the iPhone 5. After two days of use she complained about how small it is and her eyes were hurting from looking at it even with the enlarged font. So she went back to Verizon and got the same phone as me, the white Galaxy Note 2. She's been loving that thing since she entered her gmail address into it. She loves the size because its way bigger than that iPhone yet smaller than her tablet.

Welcome aboard. This phone is a mini computer that does everything I want.
Screen is such a good size. I couldn't adjust to it for the first week or two, I thought the screen was too big.
Welcome aboard. My wife had the iphone crap 4. And I traded that thing in asap. Bought her a Samsung s3. Which I do run note 2. Iphone is over priced and crap. The hole time she had that phone. She had nothing but problems.

i guess lots of people having issues with iphone 5... all you get is an extra row of icons on home screen, bhwahahahaha, jokes aside, i can't imagine using anything else but my note 2
I myself am using a note 2. Don't go with my username. I no longer am an iPhone fan boy.

Same here, bro. At first I was like, what did I do, this thing is too big, can't use it one handed, but after 1 solid week of use, I was in love. Now after 3 months of use, I can't imagine using anything else. The "bigness" goes away very quickly. It looks normal size to me now. Anytime someone says,Damn that's a big phone, I am like, whaaa?
This phone seems small to me now that ive been using it for 2 months lol
I've had this phone for 2 weeks now and finally got used to the size (but I just picked up a UAG case and it feels big again). Switched from an iphone 5, but iOS is crap. Loving all of the customization with pacman rom.
I guess you ALL once an idiot?? LOL, I'm head of my household and my last name is "GALAXY", my wife and 2 daughters are named Galaxy S3, my son named Galaxy Note2 and myself...well still Samsung Droid Charge! hey at least I still with Samsung generation...at least!
I'm looking into getting a tablet. The new nexus 7 intrigues me but is the size all that different to the note 2? What tablets do you guys have? Do you find yourself using it over your giant phone?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 4
My wife has the galaxy tab 2 7.0 and I play with that one. I don't like the size compared to my note ii. But I do plan on getting the new nexus 10 when it comes out.
About her galaxy tab. It feels too small. Like its not a tablet but a phone. As ridiculous as it sounds. She likes it because she can easily store it in her purse whenever we go anywhere. That's always a plus, but she does also only have a 4.3" phone so its a big difference in screen size to her.

I'll second the notion posted above, that the 7" tablet is kind of pointless when you have the Note 2. For what it's worth, since moving to the Note 2 I no longer use either my Nexus 7 nor my full-size iPad. I seldom need anything but my Note 2 and my laptop, which spends most of its days docked in my home office.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 4
Now that I have the Note2 I rarely use my touchpad running android. If/when it dies I will probably replace it with a Nexus 10. The weight difference between the 2 tablets will probably cause me to use a tablet more often.

I have a first gen nexus 7, and recently I bought a note 8. The note 8 is what I reach for the most. The nexus was too small and rarely used liked the other posters point out. But the Note 8 is the perfect balance of size for me. Note 8 development is not the best, but I like TW so im running stock rooted on it. The fact that it has a sd slot helps a lot too. The price is higher though. Something else to note (ha), I do use the spen a lot. If the spen is not a selling point for you on a tablet, it may not be worth the extra cost. Good luck tablet shopping!

I have had the Note 10.1 for about a month now and find that it goes well with my Note 2. I was on the fence about just rooting and flashing my Kindle Fire HD and using it, but I also thought what's the point of using a 7 inch along side the phone. I have been happy with it so far and running TW on both helps.
