Selecting tablet...any advice¿? - General Questions and Answers

Hi to all.. i need your help because i´m interested in buy one TABLET PC... but i don´t know exactly what features are well for it... i´m not experienced with it
any advise for start my tablet selection?
advises for looking some concret features¿?¿?¿?¿?
)
oh!i forget... thank´s in advance and i´m really going to be graceful with all the advises!!!

I'd get the new galaxy tab with Android 3.0 (10.1), I had a good go on a older Galaxy tab (8.9), and was hooked on it.
It just was so smooth and fluid, a lot of fun. And for customisation the galaxy tab is alright, if you wanna customise it a bit more, I.E. custom roms, I would probobly got the the HTC.
I haven't personally played with the HTC Flyer but it does boast some impressive features that get my mouth watering, but yeah in my opinion i'd go with one of them two.
Galaxy tab: samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/
HTC Flyer: htc.com/uk/product/flyer/overview.html

Motorola Xoom is godlike, if you have the cash for it.

I agree I would get the xoom if I had the cash

thank´s for all advices buddies!!!! i´m looking the websites that @Austinl was leaved in the first post... galaxy tab seems cool and has a very good performance and a awesome display... but HTC FLYER has sense and I´M A SENSE LOVER 100%...
but i already had 3 htc devices with sense... i´m a little bit bored....
can be possible that the galaxy tab has the touchwiz 3.0 environment?you´ve seen a good performance and stability?
EDIT: i had a read in the htc website and seen the features of the FLYER... its very good but don´t has dual core procesor!!! i think that its important that in the actuallity all the new devices have dual core not true??
in adition here leave the thecnical features of the htc flyer: (has 1 gb of RAM!!! )

Remember you can always change to another launcher if you get bored of Sense (Launcher Pro, Zeam, ADW, etc) Just thought I'd throw that in there.

Nokia Tablet will be a great thing;Until then I would go for galaxy Tab 10.1 because it looks great and it has Android 3.0.

yeah good idea!!! i can change the launcher! now the only one thing of this tablet that i don´t like its the wvga resolution... there are some tablets with better resolution (flyer has the same resolution that my DESIRE HD...)TOSHIBA FOLIO AND SAMSUNG TAB HAS BETTER RES..
now i´m looking for a TOSHIBA FOLIO 100, it has his own development page in XDA (flash adict, lol)
and its relatively cheap... 350-400 EUROS....
LOOKING FOR HIS FEATURES NOW!!!
well cheaper than motorola xoom (890 euros WTF?¿?¿?¿)

big is the idea as i find nowadays pda is hard to c!
tatsdiy.com got a TV OUT demo on its site
At last!
Official launch date is May 15.
I see this unit as being the long awaited upgrade to my XDA2, the dimensions are very similar but it is lightyears ahead in all specs and blows away the competition. This is what htc should have been working on instead of moving its product line towards a smartphone design.
O2 asia said they would offer a free upgrade to WM6 once they have tested it.
The USB OTG will be a huge benefit, meaning this PPC will no longer be tied to synchronization with a PC - you can use it with USB flash drives, printers, cameras etc.
IMHO, this is the best all round package you can currently buy and well worth importing it if you want a XDA2 replacement. The presentation is a bit disappointing though, pretty bland but everything else is spot on.
its available in Singapore already, priced currently at SGD1498

It's the only PDA I know with an embedded dedicated graphics card. Here are the specs (at the store):
Memory: 128MB RAM (DUDE!), 2112MB ROM
Processor: 520mhz PXA270 (um.)
Band: Triband GSM, 3.5G
Connectivity: BT2.0, Wifi B/G, Consumer-level IR(DA)
Graphics: Nvidia GoForce 5500 (not to be confused with the GeForce Go used in Laptops, but this will help A LOT.)
Features:
USB (OTG!)
TV-Out
SRS-Audio
microSD slot (why not a standard SD? <_<)
And that's that. My only complaint is that ve haff no FM Radio - I'm not too hot about GPS yet - but methinks an iTech Clip should solve that... >_>
Anyone wants to donate $1500? -.-

It has FM radio
<_< ok, I just went back to the store. Mentioned nowhere on the brochure or flyer at all. It's something that's marketable so I don't see why it won't be mentioned unless it's not there.
I think its rediculous that they release it without WM6. I am sure they will offer an upgrade path though. Sweet phone...
I was getting ready to get it when I noticed there is no EGPRS
Living in GSM 3G deprived NA and being quite ok with EGPRS (but not GPRS) speeds I can live with that, but as far as I can tell there is no EGPRS on this one
I know sometimes manufacturers will just say GPRS and it includes both EDGE and GPRS but I have a feeling that this is not the case with the Flame?
AFAIK EGPRS is a SW thing only, so would a hack be thinkable?
Is this not an HTC made device or?
FM Radio w/RDS

Although..the X800 has almost one inch smaller screen
^ And internal memory, including system RAM, beat the pants off pretty much everything except the Dopod U1000. About the only thing it loses out to the X800 is the GPS.

I didn't, I mentioned "SRS Sound", and I refuse to quote stereo speaker and speakerphone since those are pretty much part and parcel of PPCs since 2002. As for FM Radio, yeah, my bad. I've since confirmed that it has an FM radio, but it's just not mentioned in the fliers. Rock on <_<

Dopod U100 is such a large and akward device though, I've had an O2 and iMate branded one but don't want one again...
Have been using it for nearly a week. Here's my impression:
- It's big, but not too big for shirt and jeans pocket (without any case)
- Sturdy made - much much better than the XDA trion, which is my last machine.
- Quite responsive, above average, but see battery
- Not many bundled software - no backup, UI tweak,launcher etc. and I don't like the task manager (O2 menu); it does have a better alarm and a basic wireless manager though
- Not enough buttons! (2 side buttons on the left; +/- button and camera button on the right; L/R softkeys + start and ok buttons + Call/Cancel buttons in the front) That's it. No jog dial, no calendar / contact buttons, no hold button
- Auto-focus camera with led. One word - SWEET
- 128mb RAM and 2 gig rom ... finally, this people have some sense
- Battery life, now this can be a problem. The PXA family is not known for its battery saving ability (I think the samsung 400 is better), and with a huge screen and ram to boot, I'm sure if you use the performance setting (520 mhz) and use it a lot (gaming, wireless), it won't last for even a day. It is highly recommended that you use programmes like XCPU scalar to scale the the speed to 208 when the machine is idle, and max it at 416 (which is enough for most programmes). Then the battery life will be acceptable.
- Bluetooth, crap. Not entirely O2's fault, but how come after so many years MS(uxK) still can't get it right!? I used to own the XDAIIs and the broadcom stack is much better. I tried iTech and Jarba - the call part is ok but the music part is still not done right. Let's hope with the WM6 upgrade things will be better.

Out currently, would tend to agree with xboxfan though I've my eye on the Desire Z
Yes, the desire is very cool, i see it in one shop and like very much, but it has the android and i like very much the windows mobile and the simple flash and unlock stuff...very easy to handle...
Why you don't like you HTC HD2?
Porque não gostas do teu HTC HD2?

I´m gona sell mine HTC HD and buy another, but i don´t know if i buy wm or Android...
I´m Thinking on HTC HD2...
PT: Vou vender o meu HTC HD e comprar outro, mas não sei se vou comprar outro com wm ou com android.
Estou a pensar no HTC HD2..
Regards
Leo is a great option, has same or even better specs than newer phones and has the chance to boot WM/Android and soon WP7
But there is not really "the best phone"
That will depend on you. What is best for me may not be for you
Desire Z

Seconded. I'd also add that the wifi hotspot functionality is enabled on this phone for no extra charge. Even non-rooted it's a win.
What about between HTC HD2 or HTC 7 devices (Trophy or Mozart, suround).

Is camera a must? If it's not I would recommend the Kindle Fire. If camera is a must I have an HTC Flyer and I am very pleased with it.
u know now a days kids they need to capture anything and everything
thats y asked for playbook or iball. btw doing a search and seems iball is pretty impressive .

You could place the Acer Iconia a100, a200, etc. (there are other variants) into consideration.

I saw on slickdeals yesterday that the HTC Flyer can be had for $149.
Blasphemy, but I would actually get him the iPad2 wifi only edition which iirc goes for 399 now that the iPad3 is out. The kids love the Apple stuff and all their friends have apple, etc etc. There is a South Park episode called the Human CentiPad which speaks to this issue.

how about hcl me x1 tab . as the range im looking for is 250$ or inr 14000
doing a lot of search and the iball slide rates better than BB,olive,hcl
so confusing
I'd go for an iPad 1 or 2.

I must say , if your kid play games alot , this tablet will be for him . It wouldn't be that bad . Running games such as 'Temple Run ' will be as of no lags for him . C:
i do have an Ipad 2 but now theres a war over it as that was bought for the elder one. so just to peace things , i want something but worth for the second.
games liked by kiddo are temple run( i too like it , angry birds , all action arcade games
thats why was wondering if hcl can handle it
@sky plz check iball slide too and let me know . will be obliged
@Kratos , it is another tablet similar , but it's better . Because this processor can play games even better than that processor . I think you should buy iBall Slide .

get him a gaming tablet
get him a gaming tablet. for 50 dollars to 200 dollars you can get one with a very decent resistive screen or a badass capactivive screen. I was going to buy one of these before I bought an icontrolpad for my samsung fascinate:
JXD601
dingoo-scene.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-videos-of-jxd-601-in-action.html
Ydpg16 from Yinlips:
willgoo.com/yinlips-ydpg16-android23-retro-handheld-wifi-preorder-p-196.html
These two are the base sub-$120 dollar models with resistive screens. There's tons of user forums and stuff for them and they run n64, ps1, all emulators and android games and they both come with a cortex a8 and 1 year old hardware.
There's an awesome $200 version of both of these that have capactivite screens. I'm 24 and if I had kids that played video games I would definitely introduce them into this field. There's a modding community for both devices if you want to stick with android.
thanks mate, it looks like a psp and i already have one
jxd.hk/products.asp?id=604&selectclassid=009006
that one has a capacitive screen, supports ics and has all the bells and whistles of the higher end chinese tabs. performance is similar to the galaxy s.
If you have a decent budget to work with and it seems like you do, I recommend the newest galaxy tablet or pretty much anything with a samsung screen
guys made up my mind for lenovo a1 16gb
whats ur take on this tab?

Lenovo A820 - Impressions

Hello to all,
I just wanted to write some impressions of the Lenovo A820. Probably it is interesting for someone.
I bought it from Etotalk and I have to say they are very fast and reliable, at least for this shipment (it's my first one from the).
I paid it $ 205 with:
Color: White
Memory: 16 GB C6
Case: Protective Case
Adaptor: EU Adaptor (gift)
Battery: Original Battery x 1
For Car: None
Packaging: No logo No word box
Screen Protector: x 1
Shipment cost with DHL $ 34
Fortunately I didn't pay the customs, which is around 20-24 € (Euro it's not a mistake )
I bought the phone of the 9th of June and it arrived on the 13th!!!
It arrived with English/Chinese Rom (most of it in English), I didn't want the Etotalk MOD ROM cause I knew I was going to root it and instal a new Rom
Straight away I put the rom from Needrom (www dot needrom dot com slash mobile slash lenovo indent a820 indent 12 slash). First I installed the V2.2 and then the patch V2.2.1, but didn't like it much cause the translation in Italian, wasn't that good. So i tried the Cappa72 C.P.4.2 V1 Rom which is FANTASTIC.
Translation is perfect! and the phone is really really fast, not only thinking that it didn't cost much...but believe me it's really fast!
Ok let's make a detailed description!
Characteristics:
CPU CPU: MT6589 Cortex-A7 Quad Core 1.2GHz
GPU: PowerVR SGX544
OS Android V4.1.2 Jelly Bean. Default English.
Memory RAM : 1GB / ROM : 4GB eMMC

Package Includes - Li-Polymer Battery 2000mAh x 1

Screen is pretty good, good touch screen, fast response, at the moment very minus defects, if we can call them like that.
No front camera...I really rather use it on my Iphone 4S.
No flash...but photos in the night even with the flash...they never are so great.
At the moment, with Cappa72 Rom, there is the Video problem. When you record a video there is a green strip at the bottom of the screen but I'm sure it will be fixed soon.
The quality of the phone is very good. No noises, no back cover moves, probably slightly to wide but I'm being hyper critical.
Battery seems good, but I need more time to be more detailed.
It's a Dual Sim and I like how it manages it. You can choose from 4 colors for each SIM and in the address book you see which contact is in which SIM by it's color and by the Operator name. Also you can choose to set a primary SIM when you call or choose it on every call from a pop up (the selection can be made from the drop-down menu)
Wifi is fantastic, better that my Iphone 4S. I tried it and where my iphone couldn't get the line (not even seeing it), the Lenovo saw the line and could log in to it with no problems!
Speakerphone, is pretty good, not excellent but you can understand properly and it's quiet loud. The earphone is very good.
I had some problems these first days with the address book. At some point all the contacts disappeared with some regard from me, but I rebooted it and everything was back to normal and now it's a couple of days that it is OK....I will keep an eye on this and keep you informed. I will ask Cappa72 if it is a known problem or just some kind of settling thing.
I don't have a data plan on it cause I'm always on wifi areas and also because i have it on my Iphone.Therefore I cannot judge it from that point.
If anyone needs a suggestion of a phone, even if you don't need a Dual Sim, but doesn't want to spend much and have a really good one....choose the Lenovo A820.
By the way...I just ordered another one :laugh: This time black.
Bye bye
Thanks
This is really useful thanks.
I'm a newbie but have unlocked the bootloader and modified my old x10mini. I'm waiting for my a820 to arrive in the next few days, but I have ordered it pre-rooted with the Etotalk Mod installed. I thought this would make it easier to modify the phone if and when I needed as it would be pre-rooted.
I like the sound of the ROM you're using. Do you think the Etotalk Mod might make it more difficult to use the Mod you suggest, or just as easy?
Thanks again.
i bought A820 yesterday, so far so good
I don't know cause I didn't buy it with Etotalk Mod installed, but I suppose it's the same thing. Let me know....
I just bought my phone and looking forward to rooting it. I understand that it will not be rooted and a lot of chinese apps. My experience with Jiayu G3 says that it is better to stick with the stock ROM. Cooked up ROMs always have something missing, not working and generally not tested-debugged properly. Looking forward all the help from friends here

[Q] Q: Chromebooks: HP Chromebook 14 vs. new Samsung Chromebook 2??

Hello! My Dell laptop is broken and have decided to get a Chromebook after realizing I don't do much on my previous laptop except web surfing. I do have a Note 3 and Nook HD+ 9in rooted with CM10 installed but sometimes I just have to browse on a bigger screen with a dedicated keyboard for typing. Having full blown Chrome browser instead of the mobile version is great too. So, I need a bit of help trying to decide between the two Chromebooks I've narrowed down to.
Here are the specs for the HP Chromebook 14 (from walmart):
Key Features and Benefits:
Intel Celeron 2955U processor
1.40GHz, 2MB L3 Cache
4GB DDR3 SDRAM system memory
16GB solid state drive
Store 10,000 photos, 4,500 songs or 8 hours of HD video and more
802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN
Wirelessly connect to a WiFi signal or hotspot with the 802.11a/b/g/n connection built into your PC
Intel HD Graphics
With HDMI capabilities
Bluetooth
HP TrueVision HD webcam
SD memory card reader
1 x USB 2.0 port, 2 x USB 3.0 ports, 1 x HDMI port, 1 x headphone/microphone jack
4-cell lithium-ion battery
4.07 lbs, 0.81" x 13.56" x 9.44"
Price: $349
Samsung Chromebook 2 (from samsung; will be release in April):
Size: 13.3"
Resolution: Full HD LED Display (1920x1080)
Processor: Exynos 5 Octa (2.1GHz, 2mb L2 cache)
Memory: 4GB DDR3L system memory at 1600MHz
Storage: 16gb e.MMC iNAND embedded flash drive
Camera: 720p HD web camera
Battery life: up to 8.5 hours
Dimensions: 12.72" x 8.8" x x.65"
Weight: 3.09 lbs
Ports: 1 HDMI, 1 USB3.0, 1 USB2.0, MicroSD multi-media card reader, Headphone out/Mic-in combo, DC in
Price: $399.99
Does it look like it will be worth it to spend an extra $50 for the Samsung to get HD resolution and a better processor? I do like the HP's bigger size but at least the Samsung isn't as small as the other Chromebooks (11 inches).
Thanks all!
Hi, hope my reply is not too late.
I purchased the HP 14 two months ago and I havent looked back. I am not a big games player but I do use a laptop a lot as I am a teacher and use presentations very often. It took a bit of getting used to working in a different way but I havent used Powerpoint on my laptop for over a month now.
I am more than happy with the HP with long battery life at 7hrs plus, good graphics (although some moan abaout the screen), easy use keyboard and a responsive touchpad.
So, I cant say anything about the samsung but the HP is a nice piece of kit with the 3g built in.
