Android Tablet Discussion

I was thinking that a Generic Android Tablet Discussion thread would be a good idea. No matter the brand , maker size etc. Talk about them here.
Im debating between the Archos 101 and waiting to see if the Moto tab is good.

Whats Out There
I have been keeping a keen eye out for the variety of higher end tablets and here is what I have sort of come up with so far:
Samsung Tablet (7")
Motorola Stingray (10")
Viewsonic viewpad (7")
LG Optimus pad
SteamTV Elocity pad (7")
Archos Family of pads (3"-10")
They all have there merits, and the minor things that make them not so great. But here is a list of the gamot of features you can look for. Some of the tablets have alot of them, some have none, its basically what you want to do with it:
3G
WIFI
GPS
Bluetooth 2.1 or 3.0
Capacitive Screen
USB port(s)
(Micro) SD card slot
HDMI
G-Sensor
Accelerator meter
Geomagnetic sensor
Light Sensor
Front Camera
Back Camera
Google Apps Integration
NVIDA Tegra 2 versus 1GHx CPU w/ GPU
1024 x 600 resolution versus 800 x 480
RAM
Disk Space
Version of Android (2.2 now 3.0 later)
-MW

I know they are poppping out of the woodwork now. My biggest thing is that the majority are really expensive. Like the new Toshiba announced today is $540. THat is why Either the Cruz or Archos will match all my criteria. But the nice thing is that there seems to be a ton of different options.
Toshiba Folio 100
10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen
1024 x 600
Android 2.2 (Froyo)
NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor
16 GB internal storage (32 GB available SD expansion)
Adobe Flash 10.1
1.3 MP front-facing camera
Mini-HDMI
USB 2.0
Bluetooth 2.1
WLAN (802.11)
Mobile broadband (available Q1 2011)

I've been disappointed with the IFA ones as almost all of them have 3G which means here, onerous data contracts or ridiculous prices w/o.
Archos underwent feature regression(e.g. no GPS), and has some whacked prices for the 70 & 101. The rest seem kind of useless to me too small and at least the smallest two don't have any way of expanding storage which makes them kind of useless as anything other than a portable music player.
The Viewsonic is the Olivepad one? Didn't seem to be all that great.
Toshiba Folio MIGHT have been nice, but that Tegra will likely make it expensive.
...just too many hawking 3G and not enough that have useful extras like higher res cameras, GPS, mics, and maybe bluetooth... i.e. I'm just meh'ed by IFA offerings... Witstech A81-E is still looking good and they just got another new fw release 8/31...

Good catch, forgot the toshiba one. Here is what I am looking for a tablet:
3G (mainly so I can have google apps)
7" Display
Capacitive screen (OMLED prefered)
1024 x 600
Android 2.2 upgradeable to android 3.0
front camera
1 GHz CPU (perferably the tegra 2)
GPU (if no NVIDIA CPU)
front camera (dont care about a back one)
A-GPS
Bluetooth (at least 2.1)
WIFI B/G/N
USB
8+ GB internal storage
SD card slot is nice but not manditory
HDMI is nice but not manditory
Which matches up with the samsung tab, but the British price I found had it at over 600 British pounds, which converts to over 1000 US dollars.

Damn that is expensive.
Im mainly looking for a ereader, web surfer, watch some videos on trips, and check my gapps when on wifi.

Check out the stream tv elocity pad. No 3g, but no gps ether. the reason why everyone puts on 3g is because it's the only way to get google apps on it, until google changes their requirements for google apps.

My wishlist is 2ghz processor at least 50gb harddrive maybe even (dare I say it) windows 7. I would like my tablet to replace my laptop. Android just isn't ready yet.
I saw talks of honeycomb [url="http://phandroid.com/2010/09/02/android-3-5-honeycomb-to-be-on-samsungs-next-generation-of-tablets-in-2011/]"here[/url] on the samsung tablet. That might be nice . Or that isn't going to be outdated in a few months

I think a 2Ghz CPU, as of right now, is over powered for android. I have a Gentouch78 tablet that runs at 600MHz and it seems to run OK. My 1GHz nexus one has had no issues, and I have it multi tasking several apps at once sometimes. It will get really hot, especially when I toss the car charger on it while its doing all that, but never seen it slow down to unresponsiveness. As for the HDD space. I dont use mine much for multi media, so 50gb would be overdoing it for me. Just the ability to have an SD card slot would be enough for me, that right there is 32 gb.
Now dealing with the android OS itself, this is where things are starting to get wierd. You have 2.2, which is really a phone OS, you have 3.0 which is really a tablet OS, and so the current samsung tablet is supposed to be 2.2 and will get 3.0, but now this 3.5 is where it gets confusing. Some of the stuff I have been reading is stating that 3.5 is going to be an entirely different OS completly, or at least have an entirely different usage beyond that of a tablet or cell phone. And that you will have to buy an entirely new piece of hardware to use it because samsung already said their current tablet wont get 3.5 when it comes out, but i twill get 3.0. This is making me think that 3.5 may be the google chrome OS, which from what I am hearing I am not a total fan of. So basically, the idea as I understand it, is that the hardware will just be the input/output device and all the applications will be stored on teh cloud as well as the work being done will be done on the cloud. This is all nice and dandy until either 1) everyone gets on all at once and bogs down the system or 2) the cloud or network goes down and the device is worthless. Thats why I like android right now. If you have no data connection you can still do work. Now some things on android that do run off the cloud, like the GPS, if you need to reroute and you loose the data connection, since all the work is done on the back end you cant get anywhere until the data connection comes back.
Since Android is a full fledge Linux OS I think it can do whatever you need it to do, you just need to port the apps over. So i think it can replace a laptop, but there will always be certain things that make a laptop easier to use that are unrelated to the android OS, like a real keyboard. With phones, for instance, I still feel more comfortable texting on a physical keyboard on my blackberry then I do on the virtual keyboard on my nexus one. Now can I develope a web page, photoshop some images and toss them on the web page, with android? If they ported the apps over then sure why not, the physical keyboard will just make it easier. But as soon as you start talking windows 7 you are changing the entire hardware requirements (ARM CPU versus an x86 CPU) which will allow you to run your favorite web development software and photo editing software, and now your 50gb of disk space will be all chewed up with the OS and applications but no room for media, and with the new hardware requirements the price goes up (not like the samsung tab isnt expensive either) but then the bottom line is its still awkward to use because of the lack of a physical keyboard.
Now I am just using web development/photo editing as an example, simplier tasks, like email and web surfing, will require less and are easily done on the android OS. But the bottom line is to use the right tool for the right job, outline your requirements and find a solution that best fits your needs. I believe that android will be a decent laptop replacement if all your doing with your laptop is surfing the web and sending email but if your trying to do less casual stuff, like photo editing and web development, then android right now is obviously not enough, but in the future it might be. It goes back to the age old question, does hardware push the software industry, or does software push the hardware industry?

Nice...
@mothy: They're all very nice and all..but taking out the GPS is like taking a step back.....Price is nice, but I'm sure there'll be cheaper WITH GPS before too long.

maybe..but for me I have no use for GPS on a tablet....but that is just me. Just like all new technologies price points will get better with maturity of product.

Hmmm.... looks like they took a screenshot of an android VM running on ubuntu and photoshopped it into their device. If they don't have any pictures of the tablet in action, I'd be really dubious...

Finally I ordered this one, so will post some review when it arrives.

So I tested tablet I ordered few weeks ago and realized that this is the same device as Advent Vega. I test quadrant benchmark and got 2200 points without any customization of rom.
Screen is nice and response is fast. I can recommend this one.

Welcome Back... We'll need a user section on these over at Slatedroid like we setup for the ZT-180... I believe that this is a 'Malata SMB-A1002' tablet based at least on what comparison we can see from FC pictures... It' seems to match up with similar specs as the 'Advent Vega' tablet so based on some vodeo reviews of that similar tablet this should be a screamer!

I wanted to start one but it doesn't have a section yet so I made one under the Non Listed Thread

i ordered one as well so here is hopeing they live up to thier specs

Looks like they haven't gotten them in yet. : http://www.flatcomputing.com/forum/showthread.php?16-A10T-release-date&p=110&viewfull=1#post110
Found an Android 2.2 User guide online - http://www.droid-life.com/2010/08/03/download-official-android-2-2-user-guide/
(Hmmm - ok, so this seems like double posting to me now, since it's in the Flat Computing Forum already. Ok last time I'll put the same info in both forums.)

well, let's hope this one or a clone will be available for around 299.
That would be a ipad killer.
considering the price of 199 for the A10, the A10T might be available elsewhere for at least 350.
let's wait and see .
Maybe the first post can contain the hardware compatible models?

Well, the ZT-180 was also known as ePad, Apad (A10?) en probably other names.
It would be interesting to have all the variations here, so we spot the most affordable one .

I saw that before. I wonder if it is capacitive.
The commenter says it runs 2.1 and it looks a bit inresponsive sometimes, so I wonder if it is the same hardware.

Anyone get one of these yet?

but i havent even got the one i ordered for october let alone any notification

Flat Computing A10T review
A10t Review
I have been using the A10t (engineering model) for over 1 week. Following are my thoughts:
1. This unit is extremely fast. I played a DVD quality movie (full screen), and rotated the tablet, while the vid was playing. It didn't miss a beat.
2. Zooming in/out is extremely smooth and fast.
3. Wifi works great.
4. The display is unreal, (GREAT), beats the ipad
I ran this next to an Ipad, there is no comparison, This IS an Ipad KILLER!!!
It has no drawbacks, that I can find, except posibly the weight, but this is a 10" screen.
This review is short and sweet
I will write a full review in the very near future.
This is NOT vaporware. Those of you that are thinking about cancelling your order, should thing not once, twice, but thrice, before cancelling.
Remember, I am testing an engineering version of this tablet, ROMs are still being worked on. If it works this well in the engineering model, I can't wait to get the
production unit that I ordered.

hi,
So you can confirm it runs Android 2.2 and has flash 10.x running?
I bought the iPad which has blown away my zt-180.
I would not call it an iPad killer untill I see a similar great app stack is developped for Android that uses the screen size properly.
Sounds great, I will definitely check it out.
Please keep us informed!

This page shows the current models :
http://www.androidpads.com/2010/09/...-interpad-hanspree-snappiness-for-around-400/
Did anyone test one yet?
I wonder if battery life is correct, if external gps can be used, 3G dongle and if it is flashable?
Good value for money imho.
I am missing a front camera only.

Herotab C8 Information & Development

So I got one of the variations of this rather generic Chinese tablet and am very interested to get development on it going. Some folks over at Slatedroid (currently down for upgrades) started messing around with this tablet.
So far we have root via the normal su/superuser.apk method. There seems to be no NAND lock of any kind or no bootloader mischief going on, Either. The CPU is the same used in the Galaxy S and Tab from what I understand.
Some brave soul (username Asure on Slatedroid) also found an older kernel source for it, as well as source for some of the drivers. We've seen a couple of firmware updates going so far in the last two months or so.
These are the general tech specs for this device, and its similarly named and equipped friends (Dropad A8, Haipad M7, etc):
Dimensions: 196.5*125*14.5mm
Weight: 0.510g
LCD: Capacitive Multi-touch 2-point 7" @ 800x480
CPU: Samsung S5PV210 (ARM v7 Cortex A8) @ 1.0GHz
RAM: 512MB DDR2 RAM
Wifi: 802.11 b/g/n support
NAND: 2/4GB NAND Flash (On most models, some have no NAND or as little as 256MB)
Camera: Front Camera, 1.3MP
Battery: Dual 2250mAh batteries (also seems to change per device 'brand')
Others: USB2.0 support both normal and host mode, HDMI 1.3 output
Runs a rather generic Froyo on it. Ask me for any more info, I hope we can get more support for this going. I'd probably be willing to donate a bit to get interested (and experienced) developers going.

Is there a different thread going on about this device? Search didn't show anything.

Haven't found anything similar in XDA about it or the variants.

I'm thinking of getting it, too. Was hoping I can find more support for this device in here. Gingerbread, plausible?

This device is pretty good, but no xda support yet.

This device is basically a Galaxy Tab Wifi 4GB, as the hardware is the same.
I did a CM7 port for it. See SD for more details, XDA topic is dead

Can't believe there are no more people on XDA who have a Dropad / Haipad / Herotab. Good hardware en cheap! I hope there is a dev who can make a custom recovery for this tablet, that would make it next to perfect!

better buy a branded tablet
That herotab c8 is my second tablet that I bought it from aliexpress, yeah i know it is a lousy place but the price was much cheaper than merimobiles.
I sold back the first cheap tablet which is bloody slow and specs are very low which is under $100.
The second tablet that i bought was C8/herotab/whatever they call it. (yeah I made a mistake twice.)
Before I bought this, I read a bunch of reviews by c8 owners on youtube, including some videos posted on merimobiles. And I convinced myself that 1GHz cpu powered tablet would be great. yeah I was partially right.
Running applications + watching videos are simply awesome. avi, mkv, 1080 play flawlessly, I watch only 720p because of the file size, so watching movie on it was awesome.
cons
Unresponsive compare to Galaxy tab(i think you are going to talk about the price tag)
Compare to the crowd working on branded phone/tablet, Very few people are working on the customised rom.
And bloody heavy, yeah as a tablet half a Kg is pretty heavy.
What else.
I even planned to sell it back but now my daughter plays angry bird, watches nursery rhymes videos on it. So I leave it with her.
The worst thing is no developers at xda are interested to work on it

yes. very good machine. I just know it is generic one with many other name like Haipad M7, Dropad a8, Apad 7009. all of them have an issue in common:
either skype or fring does work on them. I am keen to know if someone has video call working on it. thanks for your input

i managed to initiate a qik videocall via wifi but it took me many calls to get a connection that didnt broke after a vew seconds.
i have installed asure's cm7 beta 0.4 + launcher pro plus with honeycomb theme and layout. works great in everyday use. after deleting the unnecessary phone related apk's the battery lasts for at least a whole at heavy use and up to 2.5 days with much standby time. im loving it. it's not perfect but it's more than you'd expect from such a lowprice device.

Hey if you want ROMS and firmware updates for this device, I think this is THE page you need
http://www.slatedroid.com/forum/139-herotab-c8dropad-a8/

General questions about G Tablet and other device

I am looking to purchase a G Tablet to use for work to capture signatures on a pdf etc... However I was also looking at the http://www.amazon.com/Superpad-Tabl...XDEQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1300477511&sr=8-2
as I could use this as a way to program Cisco routers in the field plus do some testing on the network.
So I guess my question is which one is better.
Of course I know both will need some new ROM's and some other software added to them and whatnot. But The second one seems to me that its a bit nicer that it has a RJ45 connection on it. The reviews are pretty good for the G Tablet though. So I am not sure what to do. If it is possible to add a USB to RJ45 dongle for the G Tablet I am for sure down for that too.
So I guess what I am hoping for is that someone here has had both or knows enough about both that they can give me some input as to what would be my better choice.
Thanks,
Nathan

Be wary when you are dealing with a product that has an unnamed producer and the specs don't even tell you what kind of processor it has. Usually, these devices were pumped out super cheap in a factory in china somewhere for them to make a quick buck or two.
The other thing is we have no idea what kind of users those reviewers for the superpad are. They could be dumbasses for all we know. With the gtab, at least we know real devs have been working with it and have given it their approval.
Go with the gtab, dude.

I couldn't have said it better....

thats what i was thinking... but the thing about the superpad i like is the fact of the built in RJ45 connection to be able to telnet in to cisco switches in the field.
edit:
just found this... seems like if this generic tablet has a micro usb to rj45 connection theres gotta be a way to get it to work
http://www.aliexpress.com/product-g...3G-Camera-HDMI-1GMHz-DDR-512-wholesalers.html

I just went through those reviews at the link you gave us. Sure, there's lots of 4-5 stars. But the reviews are not helpful at all. Single phrase reviews are useless when we're dealing with something like this.
I'd rather spend $350 on something I know that works and have lots of dev support.
I'm sorry, but I'm not very trusting of these so-called companies in China. I've known too many people who got scammed by them. Here's the thing. If something happens, what are you going to do? They're sitting all the way in China. How are you going to get them to honor their warranty or send you replacement?

Processor Type: ZT-180 not support android honeycomb 3.0. If it isn't important, a variant under the reference above the best.

But even in this case I would pay attention on archos 101

Slatedroid has an entire section devoted to the Superpad/Flytouch 2 .
Alot of information and reviews by people who actually own and use the tablet.
There is also a Small Business Section on their with a shop named BuyADroid. They carry the tablet and have supplied alot of members their with tablets, very reliable and shipping times aren't too bad either.
But if you want info on the superpad, slatedroid is the place to start looking.

Teclast X98 Pro Review + Root + ROMs + Info

You can also read the text review here:
http://www.mobiletechasia.com/?p=1677
The Teclast X98 Pro has been launched at 1399Yuan ($225USD) with the following specs, see below:
Processor: 2.24 GHz quad-core Intel Atom X5-Z8500
Memory/Storage: 4 GB LPDDR3 RAM; 64 GB internal storage and microSD slot
Display: 9.7-inch multitouch with 2,048X1,536 pixels and 264 ppi
Cameras: 2 MP front, 5 MP back
Connectivity: WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, mini HDMI, micro USB 2.0
Operating system: Windows 10 Home Edition

I will have to buy it from here since aliexpress does not ship to my country.

Heard that they will release a dual boot android/10 down there road.
Any truth to this? if so i will hold tight for that.
*EDIT*
had it open in a tab i hadn't got to yet.

Wonder how long we are talking... a few weeks? a few months?
*EDIT2*
People seem to think that the dual boot is just a software flash/upgrade away. And that you wouldn't have to actually buy a different model.
This would make me pull the trigger on it.
What do you guys think?

I've been looking forward to this device. My only problem with it is I haven't seen any decent keyboard docks that aren't just flimsy foldable cases for any of the X98 line.

It's dimensions are just about identical to the iPad Air, I'm reasonably sure something like this should work just fine - http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/ultrathin-air?crid=1608

Link is broken, sounds Tinydeal canceled. Would give a shot to geekbuying http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Tecl...-64G-HDMI-Bluetooth-WiFi---Sliver-350953.html

Tinydeal just updated the link.
Here it is again http://www.tinydeal.com/es/teclast-...-4gb-64gb-tablet-pc-w-bluetooth-p-155607.html

I've been looking at this tablet for the past hour and it seems really nice. Also, the best price I could find was here: http://dealsnow.info/2015/08/14/teclast-x98-pro-best-windows-10-tablet-currently-available/
It also offers a 5$ discount off the regular price.

Any thoughts on JustusIV question on this?? I am in the same position, ready to hit the "preorder" button if anybody could indicate if this would be "dual-bootable" after a software upgrade and not beeing a hardware issue?

According to the official Teclast website this is a Windows only tablet. I could not find any mention of dual-boot. Also, at the link I posted earlier it seems to be in Stock, not just pre-order.

cant wait for it to deliver!
hey all i just bought this tablet. I really don't care if it has dual boot on it or not. I have been testing out an emulator called DROID4X and it is absolutely amazing. Its extremely fast once you get it downloaded of course (slow download). I ran a bunch of benchmarks and scored higher than any other system. so the emulator works really good. very stable, and all the games Ive played on it so far work perfectly.
I scored 83,000 on ice storm unlimited.
114,000 on antutu.
8.926 seconds on 10,000,000 pi.
of course I'm running this all on an oc 4790k build but even if the z8500 can do 30% of that ill be fine. If they get dual boot working on it even better. Until then the emulator works perfect. i would score higher but my system isn't optimized to run android. I actually ran android off of boot able USB and it was horribly slow. i might snag another ssd to install it because i don't want to fragment my windows ssd. that's one concern i have about the dual boot. can anyone chime in on how well the system will separate the files for dual boot? what if you need to reinstall windows or reset android?

That's amazing. have you tried PS2 emulators (or gamecube)?

Greetings my friends! Any way to clone dump the eMMC to an external backup drive, USB Flash Drive (Pen drive) or microSD Card?
I need to backup everything including Windows and Android boot partitions, data partitions, recovery partitions before doing anything on the tablet.
Thanks!

temperature problems
Hello,
did you detect temperature problems which my cause of core throttleing ?
I read in another forum abour 86C in one core. Ther is a video how to improve
cooling capacity of the tablet.
Thinking about to use it as desktop replacement for my daugther and me.
Is it fast enough for itunes, MS Office, Full HD Video and some easy gaming ?
best regards huggy2008

It is. On youtube you can find some videos that show some basic performance

$239 at aliexpress now. Win 10 and android 5.1 pre-installed but it doesn't say if it's dual-boot. Sale price (20% off) only valid for 24 hours starting September 14.
