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.
So I have a Nexus 10 and love it but now my Mum wants a tablet, Android, and up to £200, the Nexus 7 is the one I think she should get, but was wondering what else was in this price range and of similar spec?
What is there of decent quality in the price range?
Cheers.
EDIT- Sorry just realized this is in the wrong section, is there a way I can delete? or can someone move it!
Thread moved to the Android forums.
I suggest Nexus 7, Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 or Motorola XOOM.
Cheers,

Who will be selling up for the new Nexus 10? or New Nexus 7?
I will be selling mine next week on EBay preparing to buy either the new N10 or N7.
What will you be doing?
N
Neither, my N10 does everything I need it to. I don't ha e any random reboots, I get 10 hours of screen time. Front facing speakers just out the icing on the cake.

No thanks. I don't want QC issues and having to send the thing back to Google.
I've been stung once before with the N7. Don't want to go through that crap again.

I bought a Venue 8 with android 4.2.2 a week ago. I have been searching the internet and have not found any info on how to root this device.
Can somebody please help?
Thanks
Same here....

+1. Got mine in the mail this afternoon. Loving it so far and wish we'll have some developers support. :good:
Got one as well. Is V1.39 the latest software version?

That is what I have on mine.
Transformer TF701t / XDA Premium HD
I've 1.39 too. I've a question, do you guys find there's a line of color on the right side of the screen (when landscape) is not correctly display? Specially when running a rgb test, can clearly see the line comes out green when it should be red. My roommate has one too and he has the same problem on his venue 8. I wonder is it just our units or its also the same with everyone.

I'm afraid there is not a haptic feedback feature. I just checked and do not see it in any settings.

aww dat sucks, oh well hows the da to day running of the tab? is it efficient, much lag?
I have been using it for reading and browsing mostly and it works really well. One thing I noticed is how accurate the colors are on the screen. I compared it to my Nexus 5 and it seems the colors are more accurate on the Venue. (I compared my favorite teams colors.) I think for daily activities this tablet works good thanks to the speedy 2Ghz processor. I haven't done any gaming though. Overall, I like it.
Oh, camera doesnt have flash and the shutter is slow. But I'm not gonna be taking pictures with this thing

Anyone know about getting 4.4 on this thing?
I'm all for rooting and what not, but I really want the photo editor of KitKat. Im a photographer and that editor looks super cool so 4.4 is important to me.

Wow, so I got to play with one of these today and while I like the size, my goodness the screen was unusable. Not that it wouldn't take my input its that it would hit somewhere else on the screen. It was a floor model so naturally it was messed around with and in German but I could not for the life of me get the Gallery app to open.
I want to have tablet as a portfolio of sorts for my photography so I wanted to see how images looked. Sure I could get the Nexus 7 with its higher resolution but I like the size of 8" tablets. That 1" really does equate to more screen room. Heck 7" isnt much bigger than my 5.2" phone. The only real other options are the Samsungs Tab/Note which I am not found of and the LG Pad/Tab 8.3 which would be my first choice except the price.
I should receive mine in the next few days! Hope that a dev will also get one and start looking at it

May have been a bad unit or may be it was lacking the firmware updates (there were 2 since launch). The gallery app works as it is suppose too. While the resolution isn't the best compared to a 1080p screen the colors look very good. Not in "saturated" good but in "natural" good. You're right about the extra inch: 8 incher feels more like tablet than the 7 incher does.

Good find. But seems like thin info and unless I don't know about them, I don't believe there are any models with 4G as noted.

as with all newer phones and tablets, remember tech companies like samsung, dell acer, etc like to push out updates for their newest devices first then going backwards to slightly older and continuing till they want to cut em loose with the updates. so that means 4.4 will be released to the venue 8 is thats only inevitable, the question just remains when? maybe not till holiday season is over though simply because im assuming dell is gonna have a goood ole time keeping up with production once tomorrow and the weekend hits.
who knows? just enjoy it till then.
so excited for toorrow to order
btw how long does shipping usually take? (if anyone ordered in in canada yet)
I was wondering if some of you long time flyer users could help me make an informed purchasing decision. I have 2 options.
1) HTC flyer Wifi for 60$ in mint condition
2) manufacturer refurbished hisense sero 7 pro for 85$
I just need something to watch some Netflix, maybe take some notes for school, and browse the Internet. I haven't had a flyer in about a year so I'm not sure how well its aged. Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Ryan

The sero 7 pro is an excellent tablet, especially at that price. If I remember correctly the flyer has a single core, while the sero has a quad core. I never had the flyer, but I'm using the sero right now, and it is excellent, and it does Netflix perfectly. However I have read that some people have had issues with the HDMI on their seros, which may be a concern if Netflix is your primary use. Even with the potential HDMI issue, I highly recommend the sero.

Awesome thanks for the help man, I'll get the sero for sure.
