Anyone knows what happened to the 370t? Asus hyped it a little more than a month ago and it has gone MIA. There's no more info or news of it since early January. I and many others where interested on it but seems like ASUS choose the HTC way and has announced 7 tablets and 3 phones in a month!
All I keep hearing is the specs of the device and a quarter 2 of this year release. I'm really eager to get more information about it too. In fact, a Google Alert sent me right to this thread, haha.
I was disappointed that they didn't announce anything about this device in MWC
yea im wondering when this is going to come out.
They can give us some info any time now. Passing up on a Thrive today on 1saleaday to wait on the 370T.

Got the same alert set with the same result.
Couldn't keep waiting, so I bought one of the Buy.com refurb HTC Flyers. A very nice device, but if that Memo proves not to be vaporware with those specs at that price, the Flyer is going straight on ebay.
yea, i didn't get the "urge" to get a tablet until I heard about the MeMo 370t
The price is right
The power is right
The size is what I was looking for
Hopefully they keep us occupied with something.

Haha no Google Alerts today, bummer. I'm in the same boat as you. I bought a Nook Tablet last month. Hopefully it will hold me off until the Memo comes out, preferably before June!
EDIT: Scratch that, just received a couple alerts. I've learned that it will be released in India during the month of May and that it will NOT be released in the European market. Neither of these pertain to me, but still good information.
Just more rumors but makes some sense!

Yeah I'm waiting for the Asus Memo 370t too. It feels like it's taking forever. I pasted up on getting a samsung galaxy tab 7.0 plus back in january to wait for the memo 370t. Now I'm starting to regret it. I don't want to wait another three months. I need a high performance tablet now.
Just heard the Tegra 3 Asus Memo 370t is being scrapped. It's being replaced altogether by Google's new Nexus tablet. At least it's still being made by Asus...
Source: http://androidcommunity.com/insider...ancelled-rebranded-the-nexus-tablet-20120316/
I'm also confused. I've read it's still on the table, others that not.
Damn, I really wanted this tablet.
Now I don't know if I should get a KFire and have it with CM7 or get a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 instead... I can't wait longer
The guy here still seems to think the 370T is being released in India. I'm not sure if even that's true or not. All I do know is that the has been no word on a US release.
http://androidtipsandtricks4u.blogspot.com/2012/05/asus-memo-tablet-370t.html
On the bright side, there's been no news on the Nexus Tablet either, so I guess it might still be possible. I hope.
More rumors now that Google is sticking with Samsung for its Nexus Tablet, instead of Asus. If this is true, it could be good news for the MeMo 370T hopefuls out there! These rumors are driving me insane though.

Hi everyone,
I must say, I am very interested in getting the Nexus 7. However, I already own a GNote that I love.
Anyone having both? What more can the Nexus 7 do than our beloved tablet?
Any feedback is appreciated.

A buddy of mine got one. If you like to game, it's pretty sweet. The Tegra3 chip is great.
Most of the gaming I do is on emulators, which the Note is very good at. So I don't need one.
yea , the note is holding me over for now as the tab never gets used here. Can't wait to see whatever the note 2 is because that will be the replacement for me overall on the tablet and phone side.
I have both. The nexus 7 was kind of an impulse by since there was only one left in my area. I have an iPad 2 and it's usage has dropped considerably since I got the Note. I figured a nexus 7 may be the ticket, especially since I'll just easily sell the iPad and recoup the cost.
So far it's been good. I love my Note but using it around the house leaves the battery in trouble whenever I go out. I'm a bit of a rom enthusiast as well so I find myself often turning to my Nexus 7 to kill time while the note is booting. Stock Jellybean is awesome and as much as I've flashed things on my note I've resisted even rooting the Nexus.
It really depends on your Galaxy Note usage, or in my case overusage. I was underwhelmed with the Nexus in my first half hour, it's more similar to the Note than the iPad is to an iPhone but I've turning to it again and again this last week. (I'm on summer leave sitting on my ass watching the Olympics so I've had plenty of playtime).
I have a le pan tab that is only used once every couple of weeks, i really have no need for it anymore with this phone

I have both. With only 2 more inches the Nexus 7 has quite a bit bigger screen. I watch movies and do email on the N7 and use the Note for Facebook and phone calls and the Wifi tethering.
Got my nex 7 and its great, for the price point is a fantastic device, I use them both oftenly and it eases battery life on my note
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I have been contemplating the same.
But I fear I will not use the tab because of the note.
I own both and I am very happy with it. It is a great device and its really cheap too. Since its a Nexus device it has great development and it gains more every day. Using it has eased my Notes battery usage.
After flashing CM10 onto my note I honestly don't know that I have any complaints anymore besides battery life! Most of the benefits of the N7 are software IMO (and that wonderful-sounding NFC performance).

I had no intent on purchasing the Note, was going to wait for the Galaxy 3 at the time or possibly one of the new Xperia devices. A few days before i bought the note I decided to sell my tablet as i purchased the lg g-slate before looking on xda. Soon found out there was quite literally no developmentnt going on for it. There isn't even a forum on xda (or there wasent at the time) so my plan was to buy a new tablet and a new phone. Figured the note might, just might fill the void for both devices and honestly after owning the note for 4 months I have no need for a tablet. This phone is a beast, no regret what so ever on my decision to go with this device. I rarely even sit down at my pc's anymore, everything is done through my note.
Love this thing, its pretty much attached to my hand lol.

I actually had no intention of getting a note either. I had a log nitro for the screen until they forced a mandatory update and it killed my internet. I couldn't use data at all even at the beginning of the month. Bars were grey and only had 2 no matter where I was. Called att and after 4 hours of threatening and schooling them they finally transfered me to someone who could tell me yes or not cause I had just upgraded two month prior. I simply asked for an HTC one or something and att offered me a galaxy note my color choice along with an otter box. Received it 3 days later for free and haven't been happier.

I have the Nexus 7, Note, and new iPad. I really like them all and consider them to have different use cases.
Reading PDFs is vastly superior on the iPad (GoodReader probably plays as big of a role as the screen real estate). Kindle and EPUB books can be about as good on the other devices, and they are lighter and better suited for 1-armed operation.
Watching a video or browsing is great on the N7 as well, and you will definitely notice the screen size difference. It seems negligible (5.3" to 7), but I definitely appreciate it, especially since I've been completely used to the Note's size for a long time.
The Nexus 7's also relatively cheap but has great build quality and is fast, and it comes stock with AOSP (or at least no terrible overlay) and no bloatware.

If they've fixed the I/O issues, maybe. But on the whole, my reaction was actually rather along the lines of "please no." Samsung's build quality on Google devices has been very solid in my opinion, they make excellent NAND and screen tech, and they're a bit saner about speaker placement.
Perhaps most importantly though, I actually hate metal builds on tablets. Mainly because anyone who's owned a flat-back metal tablet (such as an iPad for me, and brief experiences with the "premium" Transformers) knows what an awful grating sound these things can make when you set them down on some surfaces. The rubberized back might be many things to different people, but it's definitely not noisy.

This actually makes a lot of sense. Samsung recently just came out with the Tab 3 10.1, which based on a dollar-per-performance metric, is inferior to their old Nexus 10 in every way. It wouldn't make sense for them to release yet another tablet with even better performance for the same price.
I actually like the rubbery/grippy back of the N10. It may not look as pretty as aluminum, but it's easier to hold.
Also, since the new Transformer Pad Infinity has the Tegra 4, my guess is the new N10 will come with the Tegra 4. It's either that or the SD 800. In any case, the new N10 will be a beast, and I can't wait to get one.
If it's true it will probably be based on the new Asus Transformer that is due out anytime. So the new Nexus 10 maybe tegra 4 based.

Based on the recent Qualcomm/AOSP debacle going on right now, I think it's more likely to be the Tegra.
Update: Former Wall Street Journal reporter Amir Efrati has retracted his statement that Samsung is making the new Nexus 10.
Well I'm glad I got my (belated) N10 and didn't wait.
Asus QC is extremely poor. Two N7's I got last year had screen lift. Asus gimped the memory speed in last year's Transformers and many people are furious about that.
The two Samsung products I have owned have been perfect build wise - Nexus S and the N10 I just got. Can't fault them.

Hey guys, current N7 (2012) owner here. I'm excited to see what Asus will bring to the table. Here are some thoughts/concerns as someone who is wanting to purchase a 2nd gen N10:
-The screen on the current N10 is amazing. I hope Asus at least matches it.
-Speaker placement. The front-facing speakers are a fantastic design decision. I hope Asus maintains this design aesthetic.
-I am hoping for an LTE model. Both gen N7's from Asus have LTE, and I hope this means it is coming to the N10. Missing LTE is the biggest thing (other than a 2nd gen on the horizon) that is keeping me from an N10 right now.
-I'm not concerned about build issues. The current N10 seems to have a few issues of its own. I have had zero problems with my N7, so I know Asus can put out a nice product.
-Upgraded chipset is a no-brainer, but will we see more ram? I sort of hope so...
-Price point; I hope they lower the wifi-only models a bit and price the LTE's where the current wifi models are. Asus knows how to keep build costs down, so I am hoping this is feasible
So that is kind of my thoughts on the 2nd Gen N10. I've got my fingers crossed on this bad boy. I hope it doesn't disappoint.

Have to strongly agree. My wife has the Transformer Prime and it requires a custom rom and hacks such as requiring a high class external sd card to handle i/o operations to bypass the abysmal internal storage. With Nexus devices not having access to external sd I would steer well clear of the new Nexus until sufficient feedback tells you otherwise.
This screen shot is supposedly "proof" that Asus is building the next N10.
This is what comes back from the UPC that's posted.
Asus could end up making the next N10 but not by "winning out" over Samsung. Based on the rather marginal sales and low margin of the N10 #1 Samsung may have decided to pass. Asus is incredibly good at making a lot (features) for a little (price). But as others have already said the components used, like low-cost NAND, are how they make the numbers work. After following the Prime and Infinity it would take a lot of change in Asus' approach for me to even consider one of their devices.
Really hoping that it is not built by Asus. I may end up buying a nexus 10 now instead of waiting later for the new one. There is something about asus I don't like .

Having owned a tf101 and a tf201, I really hope that ASUS doesn't get into the Nexus line. The tf 201 in particular is garbage, unless, as stated before, you use a custom rom ...and even then, to get decent performance, you need to hack it to use a high speed SD card to get what should have been its IO speed to begin with. Couple that with the myriad of issues that came about due to poor quality control, such as light bleed, LCD mura, dead pixels, and their horrible RMA policies (like making you pay to ship a defective device to them for repairs...several times in some cases) and an ASUS tab is a no-go for me, no matter what the specs are.

If its ever a tegra on the new N10 then im off, not buying that crap. Owning a N7 2012 edition right now and its a disappointment ... Bad screen, horrible speakers and that tegra chip heating up so bad... Thinking of buying a current gen N10 and trading in my N7. Worth? Opinions please I mean i read reviews and such but actual user opinion would be awesome Will surely install CM on it though
That's what I'm also thinking about doing. The nexus 7 used to be great, but the chip aged horribly. It isn't as smooth or fast as it used to be .

I'm also interested in some user opinions here.. too late to sway me though as mine is already being shipped. Probably get the new one too when it comes out although I just had my first Asus tablet in the new Nexus 7 but had to return due to touchscreen issues twice.

Am I the only one here who likes Asus?
I've had both the N7 and the N7v2. I also have an Asus laptop. If I had the money I'd splurge on the Asus AIO Desktop (that runs both Windows 8 and Android). All of my motherboards have been Asus.
For all the people complaining about Asus's N7 build quality, there's an equal percentage of people complaining about Samsung's N10 build quality, I assure you.
In any case, when the new N10 comes out, I'll be one of the first in line to buy it. It's either coming packed with the Tegra 4 or the SD 800.

Hi Guys,
I only got 2 days left to return my HDX 8.9.
Every day, when I got nearly to this day I think about if the HDX is the right thing.
On one side it makes me happy to root, get Playstore working and so on, on the other side I am searching for the ultimate Tab.
7 inch is to small, 10 too big. So I searched for an alternative in the web.
But I didn´t find something similar to the HDX.
Hardware specs are awesome, 8.9 is really the best size.(for me, but 10 could be ok)
Samsung get the new Tab Pro out in March, too long to wait.
So if anybody out there could tell me an alternative to the HDX I would be happy.
Myself found:
1. Sony Xperia Z......too old, Display resolution too poor
2. Ipad Air.....hmmmm no Playstore.....and its a Apple
3. Samsung Note 10.0 2014.......I read about these hanging problem, specs are ok, but 10(size ok, if the Tab is really good)
4. Nexus 10.....too old, specs not
5. Nexus 7 ....got already
So I could get 600€ out for the best Tab.
Ma
Maybe somebody out there got the Solution for me.
Thanks for answers
The lg g pad 8.3 is a great tablet and has quite a bit of support.

I have the HDX 7 and I'm trying to decide what to do myself. It's such a great tablet, but the OS is horrible. I'm trying to figure out what I want next. The tabpro 8.4 interests me, but it looks pretty much like a side grade. Also, the battery life seems questionable with that 1600p screen. Then there are rumors of the nexus 8 coming out around April.
I'm in the same boat....I am leaning towards the LG G Pad. Full play store micro ed slot. I'm going to go to Best Buy and check it out...
The 8 inch Lenovo Yoga Pro tablets look pretty cool. Not sure about specs though.

So. I am in the market to buy a new tablet. I generally use a tablet for watching movies, some games and browsing the net. I ran across a brand new unopened nexus 10 32 GB on Craigslist. Got them to sell it for 275.
Question is..... Should I get the nexus 10 seeing lollipop is coming. Or should I splurge and get the tab s 10.5?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Well, i not going to talk about the price factor because i dont know your country. In my opinion, the 10 still remains a solid experience, excellent for movies, very good for browsing the web. I'm not a huge player, but it has run everything that ive throw him. I've high hopes in battery and more smotheness with lollipop, something that might arrive today. 2 years after i bought it, still remains a solid experience. In my opinion, go for it. Hope ive helped.
joao
Thanks for the reply. What are your experiences with battty life and charging times?
I live in the united States. So $275 I think is fair.
Any other thoughts.
Again, thank you guys/gals.
Keeping mine, still a good tablet for me. I'm running/testing 5.0 (lollipop) right now. Runs good, especially for a pre-release ROM.
Just my two cents worth.
JuggZaPoppiN, i'm not stock. I'm rooted, running Purity Rom, a very light and fast rom. My screen time is about 10.30, i think, but keep in mind that i dont keep it charging during the night. The charging time is long, without the pogo charger, around 5 hours. I'm from Portugal, and over here, 275 usd (a litle more than 200 euros) is a very competitive price.
I was thinking buying the nexus 9, but for me, its dificult to justify those purchase. And if you are into movies, the aspect ratio of the 9 will be a major disavantage (Black bars).
For cases, i've tried several, but i prefer the veo one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Ultra-Smart-Google-Generation/dp/B00AAV7124 In reality, the nexus is not the pretiest tablet in the market by no means, but its very very ergonomic naked, with the round soft back.

+1 on Purity. I have a nandroid of it in case I want or need to go back to 4.4.4.

sfobrien, great rom, isn't it? just lacks in customization, but its so damn quick and responsive...
How's everyone's battery life
Considering that Lollipop should be released anyday now, if I were you, I'd hold my purchase decision until feedback from Nexus 10 users starts coming in (the official OTA I mean... not the pre-releases floating around right now).
IF Lollipop is as good as promised, then a Nexus 10 is still a good choice (it's supposed to be better on the battery and lighter OS optimized for older devices). It should give it almost a new life.
However, the last updates (4.3 and 4.4) were far from optimal on the N10 so who knows what it will be this time.
But if you need to make the decision right now and your needs are not too demanding, it's still a great device. I use it daily and still enjoy it (but then, I rarely play games on it).
Now you can buy it. Lollipop is running smoth for me, and it has a new life.
I also cannot opine about the price ranges in your country, but for what is worth, after a few days running stock Android 5, I can tell you the tablet is running smooth and I certainly could not justify purchasing another one for the time being. So, if the price is right, I believe it is still a good buy.
Thanks guys. I ended up buying it brand new for $275 and I don't regret it one bit. Tablet is extremely smooth and I love lollipop so far. Thanks for all the replies
Good to ear that!
So...how is your nexus?
With Lollipop, this Nexus 10 is reborn, insane good battery life!
