OK so I have an epic 4g touch and and have all kinds of goodies for it. My wife wants to get me the best tab. She thinks the Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 is best I love it also. OR I can get something within that range say ipad2, xoom, ps3, 360, psvita. I'm really loving the tab but why get it when my epic 4g touch is so much similar. I just feel like the tab is same only bigger. So I'm thinking to myself I can just get a micro HDMI and plug it in my 60'' led flat screen and just go get something else. Hmmm. I need help! Plz
What would you do????

If this is your pick, as it seems it is, get what you want. you stated a few different things. I have A 360 and love it. I have a galaxy tab 10.1 and love it. and i have an epic touch and love it. if your looking for a toy get the 360. it really boils down to what your looking to use what you want for. a tablet is good for web browsing, videos, and i use it at school. gaming is just gaming. its fun.as for a different tab like a ipad, you probably might want to re think that if your an android platform lover like i am. they are two totally different ui systems. and as for a xoom, i would go and fiddle with it and other tablets at best buy or something. I heard the asus transformer prime is nice. it is a quad core unit.
again, its wahat YOU want. happy buying!!!

if your going to get a tablet, the prime is the one. I have EP4GT also.
I have one, is slick, great screen, fast and have ICS. Colors are not that saturated like amoled screen, but it looks good.
I have a prime and if you don't care about using it for GPS its definitely the one to get. It will not work as a stand alone nav system but it does everything else awesome. I have a Tom Tom BT GPS antenna and the Sygic app for nav that makes nav work flawless. Playing movies on a HDTV works great. Splashtop app comes on it to link your desktop or laptop to it which is really sweet.

I heard about gps and wifi issues on it. GPS yea I wouldn't use it on a tab. Suck it don't work like it should. I have a GPS already. But then other people say it works like it should idk if they have a different version of something. There are a lot of bad comments on some of the videos like bad wifi/GPS and that it has a touch screen delay and stuff like what's the quad core for it looks like a normal dual core phone but regardless all that I think its incredible

No tablet competes with the iPad in the user experience department. However, if you are dead set on an Android tablet for some reason, go with the Asus Transformer Prime.

Love my Prime, Don't have too much Wifi issue but my GPS is spotty, still at first it didnt work but the latest updates helped a little. So all the problems people are talking about slow, choppy, laggy, could be fixed eventually. The 10.1" is old now, and for almost the same price you can get the Prime with quad core and have the dock (which is a major selling point) if you want. Best of both worlds, tablet and netbook.

I'm not going to hate on the ipad. My bro has one and its beautiful. The iPhone/ipads have always been incredibly smooth with no signs of lag ever. That's one thing I love is how smooth it is. Like when I got my epic 4g touch its really smooth I couldn't stand the lagginess of my g2x so I got this one. My bro has the iPhone 4s and I love the smoothness and he wants my phone because how big it is and the open source lol.

If you really want the best, you must get the asus transformer prime. Don't listen to the haters, the tab is awesome. I use it every day and barely use my laptop anymore. The prime looks really sweet, is thin, nice metal finish, and has lots of firepower (tegra 3 os quad core). Asus is super quick with updates ( already got 3 maintenance updates and ics since release). Also the keyboard dock is unique feature and really expands the functionality of the tab, even if you don't wasn't the dock, you still have that option for the future.

I'd say if you had to get something now, it should be the Prime. If you could wait a tad bit longer you could wait and see if samsung, etc. are gonna be coming out with their tablets in the near future. I also think the transformer prime HD is coming out june? supposed to have a 1900 x 1200 resolution screen. The would be insannne.

Has anyone tried dropping the keyboard from the leaked ics rom for the galaxy s II into system/apps on their nexus? I really miss the keyboard from my old Epic 4g Touch. Any ideas?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
If I had to guess. It probably requires touchwiz. This may not be the case though because I have had the HTC-ime on some of my phones.
I'm basically in no matter the specs as long as it's below $250.
I just sold my galaxy tab 10.1 for lack of a development community.....

Yeah the cheap price point is good, I'm debating on giving up on my a500 but i do want a smaller device, a ten inch tablet is a little uncomfortable most of the time
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
The gtab has AOKP. That's all you need
Tegra 3 + IPS Display with decent build quality and around $200 is what's making it easy to pull the trigger. I have to pull it though because it's running Jelly Bean, and will be up-to-date in comparison to any other tablet.
I might be selling my gtab 2 with omap4460 chipset and wolfson 1811 sound chip soon.
...
Pretty sure I'm in. Only question is whether or not to sell my xoom.

I *want* to be in because I like my GNex phone so much. But I'm not sure about the whole 7" thing. If I want real portability I'll use my phone. I'd rather have a 10+ inch display on a tablet which makes magazines, newspapers, Google Reader more enjoyable. I'm not sure I get the whole 7" tablet idea (for any manufacturer). Seems like just a big phone that starts to limit the things you can do with it.
What bag can you carry a 7" tablet in that you can't carry 10"? Do people really look at a 10" tablet and think they will have trouble carrying it around compared to a 7"? (serious question).
Not sure about the 7 inch form factor...i do know that the ten inch felt too big to me on the galaxy tab.
I'm also not convinced about the utility of a tablet.between my wife and myself we have 3 laptops,2 chromebooks, 2 newish Android phones (gn+gs2) and a kindle.
I just don't understand what a tablet does better than the rest of that.
BUT,i love geeking out with the roms, etc...so I'm in on the nexus7...

Any ideas if the little fella will come with a sim slot for mobile data?
That'll be the deciding factor for me.

I probably will buy it. But I Love the form factor of my galaxy tab 8.9 it is large enough to get more information on the screen, but not to big where you might as well have a laptop. I think that's the best tablet size IMO.
I was really interested but I'm not so sure I can justify it. I already have two "bastard" android Tablets. An hp zeen with no market or apps (7"), and an HP touchpad where most games are blocked or don't work (10", 3:2). I would really like something a bit bigger than 7" or something with an amoled screen, but it will be nice to have something with better support.

I need to upgrade both my old Android tablet and phone and am seriously considering getting the note 2 rather than 2 separate devices. I'm wondering if anyone who has the Note 2 finds they're using it exclusively rather than in conjunction with a tablet. I was an early Android tablet adopter, getting my tablet before buying an Android smartphone. At first, I'd take my tablet with me and use it at WIFI hotspots. I now find that I just use my tablet at home. The idea of a phablet is intriguing, but I wonder if any of you with a Note 2 find that you still need your tablets. TIA.
I probably would, but I do still use my Nexus 7, and use my phone as a hot spot.

Im using my note 2 for nearly everything now. I have the p1000 and an acer a501 and don't use either much. Except for maybe the odd movie on my acer a501 and ebay.
I love this phablet and very happy with it.
Hope that answers your questions.

One device, can't go wrong.
When Samsung says it's the best of both worlds they weren't lying. I can't wait to get mine for Christmas. I had to be pulled out of the AT&T store because I wanted to play with the phone all day. Definitely can be used as a tablet replacement, but only if you already have a computer.
Sold my SG3 to move on to the Note 2, I love my Note, but still find my self using my Galaxy Tab 10.1 , just not as much. I use the Note when
Im out and about and use the tablet at home. But if I did not already have the tablet I would have no issues just using my Note
I've pretty much stopped using my iPad 3 completely since getting the Note 2. Really is the best of both worlds.
Obviously the Note 2 wouldn't be able to completely push away my Transformer Prime with it's keyboard, ports and additional screen size, but any thoughts of wanting a Nexus 7 disappeared once I had the Note 2 in my hands.
Original iPad only gets used by my wife and kids now, I almost never use it, honestly could live without it now.

The Note II is an AWESOME device and in many ways is faster and smoother than my Asus TF300 (w/ dock). Even so I still prefer to do certain things on my Tablet with it larger screen.
Now if I didn't have a tablet I could get by with my Note II (though I'm looking forward to seeing what the Next Note 10.1 has to offer).
Actually, after falling in love with the screen real estate of the Note 2, I purchased a Nexus 10 and now tether from my Note 2 to my nexus 10
Yes don't use tablets anymore.

I purchased the Note 2 for this exact reason. I wanted a tablet and a new phone and I decided just go with the Note 2. I just ordered it today and it on back order. I will let you know how it works out once it comes in.
Have a ipad1 and ipad3 and a iphone 4s. Dont really touch them at all anymore. I got the note2 because my ipad one is pretty much obsolete and I travel 2 weeks a month for work so its a perfect fit for me.
