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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have an iPad 2 16 gb 3G been offered a trade for a p7500 I'm leaning toward doing it just prefer android over ios. Although I do admit my ipad has been a good tablet my main gripes with it are the speaker which it seems the 7500 does better. Also I was hoping to be able to Bluetooth tether from my galaxy note to conserve battery over wifi tethering.
Has anyone else made the jump from an iPad 2 over to a 7500? Any regrets?
All of my family members use iPads but me. 2 ipad 2s and 2 iPad 3s.
I use galaxy note 10.1 and I love it. I would never trade mine for any iPad including upcoming iPad 5.
Lol but that's just me. I am just saying I have no regrets. I love s pen. I dunno about gal tab 2. I only used it for one day then sold it. I liked galaxy tab 2 10.1 but i wanted the pen.
Anyways u will like the tab if u like ansroid. U are talking about tab 2 10.1 right? Not tab 10.1.

Believe it's the tab 1 the p7500 I've done a lot of searching online seems to be similarly specd as the iPad 2. Obviously the tab 2 is better but I'm hoping the tab 1 will still keep me satisfied for awhile.
I would probably just stick with the ipad if I were you.

Oh, yes, stick with the ipad. If it were a tab 2 10.1, It'd be a fairly good deal, but giving away an ipad2 3g for a p7500 you're being had.

Apart from the tab 2 being newer and having a micro sd slot, there is absolutely no difference in spec to the original tab 10.1. The original wifi version cost £400 while the tab 2 only costs around £250 at the moment. Its not a better device.

Should have waited to see if there is a 3g version this tuesday when google i/o is occurs.
does yours reboot?
I got my mom a Galaxy Tab 2 and myself a Nexus 10 at the same time yesterday. My mom likes Samsung devices and is familiar with TouchWiz, so I'm sure she will love it. About the most she will do with the thing is watch Netflix, check email, and watch cat videos anyway. I probably could have gotten her a $150 Coby tablet and she would have been just as pleased.
On the other hand, my Nexus 10 is already running AOKP (for now) and I'm really digging it so far. Fast and smooth, feels great in hand, and the display is absolutely incredible. To me, that's worth the price of admission right there. Unfortunately it lacks the super deep blacks of Samsungs Super AMOLED displays, but the resolution makes up for any shortcomings due to black levels.
I think the Nexus 10 is the best ten inch tablet currently available.

Don't forget that's not some peoples thing (I can easily use my phone as a free hotspot with 4G speeds) plus there is also no guarantee that they will be launching a device with said capabilities.
Of course I do unterstand that some people do very much require their tablets to have 3G, just throwing my .02 in.
What made you choose this device instead of others? Will you select your next tablet based on the same criteria or do you care more about some other spec?

In this order:
Development, Processor, Resolution, Price
I came from the fantastic Acer a500, so it had to be a damn good device.
screen res, nexus status. if a new N7 was out with a higher res screen, I would have gotten that. but this was a work purchase, and the fiscal year is ending so I needed to buy now it's an upgrade from my galaxy tab 10.1.
edit: not a reason why i purchased, but the front speakers are impressive, at least compared to my old tab.
Development,screen, front speakers, design
I had a Nexus 7 at the time, and prior to that, a Galaxy Tab.
- I wanted to try a larger tablet
- The specs were pretty awesome
- Rear-facing camera (found it a real pain that my N7 didn't have one)
- Screen resolution
- Front-facing speakers
- Nexus
Was kind of concerned with the pace of development at first. Seems alright now I suppose :good:
Still kind of interested in trying out a Windows tablet for some specific games though...

Why did you make this thread? For post count?
Will you make future threads based on the same criteria or do you care more about spamming the forums?
In other words, did you search before making this thread?
It's a nexus and has soo many pixels. I like pixels. It was most certainly NOT because it has a rear facing camera.
Screen and specs, android, knew it would have a strong development community supporting it, specs will make it decent for a couple years, I travel for work and need something to check email daily, laptop too heavy, etc. And it's a fun toy.

I had yet to own a Nexus device, and I wanted to know what the pure vanilla experience was all about. Sure I've rooted it and tried other ROMs, but I keep going back to the stock 4.2.2 ROM.

the screen, the processor, nexus device, that black on black.
why
Have the Nexus 4 already.
Came from a Tablet S and was a bit disappointed in the updates or lack thereof as well as the shell design. Thought it was cool for about a week.
Top reasons:
Standard android
Screen
speakers
My experience so far is excellent with no complaints. It's much faster, better screen, better speakers, better wifi (much). I like some of the Sony apps like Music Unlimited but I can just download them if I want them.
I don't think I will ever buy another non-nexus device for cell or tablet. Price is right and updates are swift.
What made you choose Tablet S ?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
tablet s
Thought it was a bit different at the time. Bought it back in 2011 when it first came out. Kind of bought into the whole it's easier to hold thing with the wide grip on the one side. Also the first to have the remote IR feature (which I never used hardly). I had the X10, Sony Arc and then the Xperia S so was just keeping it in the family so to speak. Still think the Sony UI is very intuitive compared to the Samsung, LG and Htc overlays.
I chose the Nexus 10 because it was the successor to the Motorola Xoom. Stock Android with updates direct from Google. That's what mattered. There was no other choice.

One of the new Nexus 7's possibly? It's pretty much universally agreed that it's the best if not one of the best Android tablets on the market right now. Also, it's super easy to unlock the bootloader since it's a Nexus device and the development community around it is huge.

There are actually 2 Nexus tablets on the market right now... the Nexus 7 and the Nexus 10. The 2013 Nexus 7 is an excellent tablet you can buy directly from the Play Store or other places online. The Nexus 10 is also worth considering if you want a bigger tablet, and it also has the BEST speakers of any tablet on the market. Personally, I'm waiting for them to come out with the "updated" Nexus 10 like they did with the Nexus 7. Either way, as far as Android tablets go, they are both winners. The only other tablet I would recommend taking a look at is the new Samsung Note 10.1 - it has a gorgeous display and all of the productivity power of the Note software and stylus. It's just a little too pricey in my book though.
