I think that ASUS EEE Pad Transformer is good and if I want to buy tablet with Android OS, so I buy ASUS. But for now is iPad2 the best, I think.
Well, I don't know your budget and what you intend to use it for,
but I would certainly recommend a tablet with at least Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) and a Nvidia Tegra 2 processor.
The ASUS EEE Pad Transformer is one possible choice ... (as for the iPad2, it is a quality product but no thx).
So are u saying that the ASUS is the best android tablet out there ?

Rooted Nook Color is a good inexpensive tablet though lacks the specs of the higher end choices.
I want a tablet that has a very fast processor. Money is no object.i would mostly use it for video and games

Archos G9 looks good and cheaper, but it will come to the market somewhere in September...means not yet available today

I'd reccomend you get the Asus EEE Transformer. It's running the same Tegra 2 chip that powers quite a few other android tablets and with the keyboard dock will give you 16 hours of battery life.
It's priced well too

Andypad Pro? Cheap with resonable specs. Don't know whether it will be supported on XDA but I hope it will be so Honeycomb gets ported to it.

i am also looks a good tablet , SAMSUNG OR SONY
SG10.1 or AT
The best android tablet out right now, is the ASUS EEE Pad Transformer or Samsung Galaxy 10.1. I'm also in the market for a tablet and from everyone I talk to, it come down between these two. From what I was told, if you want something similar to the Ipad, then go with the Galaxy Tab 10.1... but if you are going to be doing a lot of typing and want a hybrid tablet/laptop, go with the Transformer. I'm torn between the two.
At first I though the Transformer was the best tablet out there, 10hrs battery life and then a dock with another 6 hrs, but then you need to always carry the dock if you want to have the extra battery life but now I think the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the best one because the battery life is about 10hrs like the Transformer, yet it's lighter and if you dislike the Touchwiz ui then go with Transformer, but if you don't mind it at all, get the GT 10.1
...
just to have 10 post lool
sorry the spam
I would recomend that you get the motorola xoom. It has a fast tegra 2 dual core processor that can be overclocked to a blazing 1.7 ghz. It also has a good gpu that has been overclocked 33%. It has the new android 3.2 honeycomb os. It has 32 gb of internal storage at the price o of$500. With the new android 3.2 it also has a fully functioning sd card. The metal frame while heavier than others, gives it a good quality feel. The easily unlockable bootloader also makes modding easier. Do not go with the samsung galaxy tab as the 32 gig model costs $600, and it has no sdcard slot for external storage . The battery life on the xoom is good and i can usualy get about 11 - 12 hous out of it.The Eee pad transformer is good, but if you want a keyboard you can always use a blue tooth one or get the usb connection kit for a usb keyboard.
I hope this helps and if it does please hit the thanks button

Hey XDA. Im currently sending this off of a crappy ipod touch 4g. So sorry if there is any gramatical or spelling errors. Im going to be selling this on ebay to help fund my tablet because it looks like they can sell for $150 to $200 in the condition mine is currently in.
But anyway, Im looking for a tablet, I dont care about size. Im looking to get one for $200 to $300 new. I was hoping it could have at least a gig of ram, a dual core (if possible), be able to play games well, have a decent sized development community on gere, rootable, and a decent battery life because I will be taking this to school.
I know Im asking for a lot, but rooting and installing roms looks like a lot of fun, and Im not able to buy an android phone because with us cellular they require a data plan, which my dad doesnt need, so he doesnt want to pay for it (which is fair).
Ive also heard of the nvidia tegra 2, just wondering is that a cpu, apu or gpu? I currently own a gtx 460 in my computer, so if I had a nvidia product like that in my tablet, that would be cool.
Alright sorry that ive asked a lot, if this has alreadt been answered please feel free to close this thread and link me to the thread where that answer is.
Thanks!

I'll suggest to you the HP TouchPad. 9.7" 1024x768 Samsung IPS panel, dual core processor capable of running at 1.8ghz, Adreno 220 GPU...it is one of the fastest tabs you can buy.

Good luck finding a TouchPad...
Most of the lesser expensive tablets (I. E. In your price range) are either underpowered or do not have custom ROMs.
If you don't mind a slightly sluggish experience but it runs games well you could get a nook color which has cyanogenmod support. If you want speed and decent power, kindle fire is a good bet. If you want a tablet that's very powerful and has root (you can customise apps and launchers, etc.) nook tablet. Nook tablet does not yet have custom ROMs but it has root and is the cheapest tablet in its class.

Now they can be readily found on eBay, but they are going up in price; the price for one of the 16GB models has risen about $40 in the past week. Upon using the device, three of my friends have bought one for themselves, I really can't recommend the device enough.
I'd suggest looking at the Nook Color or Nook Tablet. They sell new for $200 & $250 respectively. They are a little underpowered compared to some of the newer stuff like a Galaxy Tab 10.1 or something like that, but you can't beat that price. You'd be lacking some things, like a camera and microphone.
CM7 is currently available for the Nook Color and works amazingly well. I'm sure it'll be made available for the Tablet soon enough if it doesn't yet exist. Depending on what you mean to do with the tablet one of these may be more than enough.

I was referring to his price range. TouchPad under $300 are just a fond memory.

Nook Color runs stably at 1.3 ghz under cyanogenmod 7. It feels a little pokey to me and I have one.
Nook tablet is dual core 1.1 OMAP 4 with a gig of ram. It is hardly underpowered as I have one of these as well.
The biggest issue with both nooks is android <3. 0 so it does not have the interface GPU accelerated. Any tablets above gingerbread will seem faster even if they have lower specs. Most of the time the GPU does nothing and the cpu has to process the interface, touch, plus everything else. Touch and interface are offloaded to GPU on honeycomb and higher.
If cyanogenmod 9 come to the Blaze it will be a better tablet than most Honeycomb because it has a faster and better cpu with more ram. Most honeycomb tablets only have 512mb.

I didn't really want the nook color to be honest, and I was thinking about getting the nook tablet, but the only problem is that you can't really install roms on it because of the bootloader being locked or something? (This is what I've heard, I'm an Android noob).
If the boot loader is really locked on newest Nook Tablets, that would eliminate it from my list of possible candidates. Is this true? I was leaning toward the NT because of the card slot, and the possibility of booting from an sd card. (I read that the lock was imposed during an automatic upgrade)
Acer iconia a100 or a500 are my first and second choices
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
transformer prime if you have the cash and want to wait
acer iconia a500 or a501 if you want one now.
I have an a500. I like it, after I rooted and jumped off a factory ROM

the normal size usb port for sticks etc. is really good
I'd like to get the HTC flyer. Had a chance to play with one in Best Buy the other day. it was wonderful for me. I read today that they dropped the price in the UK, hope so here in the USA..
I think Acer Iconia a501 is a good choice ... if you want to spend a little more buy a HTC.
Hello,
Am looking around for tablets. What is the best tablet out there?
Tegra 2/dual-core atom or better. Price below 400$ for brand new.
It must be hackable/moddable. Should have an active developer community or open platform.
Would consider Android, Linux and Windows.
Following options are on my list,
Toshiba Thrive
Asus Transformer
Acer Iconia - Tegra version
Motorola Xoom
Am open to more suggestions.
The best available dual-core tablet available is Asus Transformer. It has good community support, and the tablet itself its great.

I'd go for Asus Transformer, just cause it asus!
He said dual core or better so I guess in terms of futureproof, I'll be the guy to offer the Transformer Prime, otherwise, the original Transformer.

Thank you guys. Yes, prime is 500$ - not below 400$ but I'd be more than glad to pick Prime over the TF101 if you can find me a 400$ deal. =P
But, I don't think Tegra 3 is future-proof. I've been hearing an octa-core is brewing in the kitchen. Nonetheless, sometime back I used to see these 400-500$ Windows 7 Atom tablets. I wonder what happened to them. It'd be really nice if Acer would offer an Ubuntu version of W500. W500 is dual-core AMD x86 and runs Windows 7 Home Premium and costs 500$ but if they make the cut on Windows 7, they should be able to roll out a 400$ x86 Ubuntu tablet.
As of now, am seriously considering Transformer original or Thrive. (Thrive has full USB ports without adapter while Transformer has active dev community. )
And, didn't anyone roll out an AOSP tablet? You know like those developer phones with vanilla Android.
Sorry I missed the $400 part.

Ya asus tablet is nice, all I can afford is nook color running cm7.2

Best Tablet Out There
Acer Transform has my vote. Or the moto xoom! Android > Apple
Hi Everyone,
I am looking for a really good Android tablet (version 4.0 - ICS). Great display, 1GB RAM, and Dual Core or Quad Core CPU.
I am checking the web and there are tons of tablets. Samsung is NOT the only option. The Chinese versions seem very conveniently priced.
So, what is really the best and fastest tablet out there today?
Thanks
Toshiba Thrive is AWESOME! But little development and no ICS YET, but is scheduled to get it

I've heard really good things about the Asus Transformer Prime and so far they've been really good at keeping their products up to date and supporting them. I've tinkered around with one in Best Buy and was impressed. Sleek and fast. And it's quad core
I can't say enough about the Asus Transformer Prime w/ dock. Very high quality device.
Also think the Asus Transformer Prime is awesome!
Don't buy the Prime just yet! Wait for the Asus Transformer Infinity or the Padfone!
Best and fastest tablet out right now? Nothing other than the awesome ASUS Transformer Prime.
I still prefer iPad due to the selection of Apps (Android is severely lacking here), but Android is awesome for its customization and openness,
I currently own a Transformer (original) and I would highly recommend the prime, if it lives up to half of what my transformer does it is an incredible tablet. Also has a good amount of development and is a powerhouse

I have an Asus Transformer Prime. It is really great. Not only the prestations but also the design of the TFP. I recommend you to consider the Asus Transformer Prime!
Motorola Xoom is the best one I tried so far, with ICS of course.
TF Prime. I have had it for 3 months now. Monster.

Make it a GED and you can't go wrong, just got the 4.0.4 OTA update, it runs so smooth
Transformer Prime is on top right now. and the dock is a MUST have for this tablet.

Yeah, the Asus Transformers Prime. Its Awesome.
Only downside of the TFP is there aren't really good ROMs jet.

Hello to everyone!
I have an Galaxy Note and I'm in love with it, but after weeks of using it, I understood that I need something bigger.
So... could you recommend me a tablet between 7-8 inches with a dual core CPU.
I want something fast or maybe something that support some unofficial ROMs (to put something fast on it ), just like every Android phone.
I think about Google Tablet, but I don't want to wait.
Any suggestions are welcomed.
It is not dual core but the htc flyer is 7 inch, has pen support like note, has a choice of gb and hc including custom roms such as cm7 and miui, and has ics, beta ports in the works.
Processor is single but set at 1.5ghz with custom kernels enabling up to 2.ghz. 1gb of ram, comes in wifi only and 3g models, and can be found online for ir a steal refurbished.

Both have the same platform, Nvidia Tegra 2, Dual Core @1Ghz
