Hello guys, I have a problem with hand writing and I need a tablet to take quizzes during class etc. Which tablet do you recommend? I have AT&T but I'm not interested in a contract. And one of my firends bought a 8" China tablet PC on SpeMall.com.
it's seems good, with android 2.3 OS and 1.3Ghz processor, capacitive touch screen etc, seems can fit all my requirements, and i found that i can buy a leather case with keyboard with it, so it may bring me much more convenience in dealing with documents. So do you think it's worth buying? thanks for any suggests in advance!

I have been looking very closely at the VS gTablet for school. However, I am concerned about functionality versus a tablet PC (laptop convertible). Can anyone shed some light in both areas (experiences); because I am stuck deciding between a Lenovo 201 and the VS gTab. Also, is it possible to use a mouse and keyboard or a stylus (for note taking / drawing) on the gTab? Thanks!
I'm really looking for something to be able to take written notes with, record lectures, access internet for downloading notes and other materials.
Based on some of the research I have done; I have the following pro's and con's to decide from:
Lenovo 201:
Pro's: Comes with a digitizer pen, has more storage space, easily convertible, and works right out of the box.
Con's: Battery life, weight, and price.
VS gTab:
Pro's: Android OS, light, decent battery life, very portable, and price.
Con's: No digitizer pen, space not as upgradeable (correct me if I'm wrong), and needs to be modded to get full functionality.
Feel free to include anything I may have missed. Thanks in advance!
Go with the Lenovo, if you really want it for Pure school, and some basic functionallity
Well, the Lenovo may be out of the question after their sale ends tonight. It's too bad, get a $2800 tablet pc for $1600. I haven't received my student funds yet. If Lenovo doesn't have a sale like this later, I think the VSgTab will be the way to go.
Why don't you get the galaxy s tab?

+1 it will fit in your budget

has anyone tried these... seem good to me, i dont own one though.
It may, but it is also more expensive than the VS G Tab or the Archos 101. When I buy electronics, I tend to lean towards the powerhouses versus the mid to low end stuff. Not saying the galaxay isn't one of those; but the CPU that the GTab and Archos 101 offer are really nice!
But, at this point, it is a decision between the VS GTab and the Archos 101. I did find a capacitive stylus made by Pogo Sketch (broader head pen type) and DAGi (finer pen type) that should work for taking notes with. The biggest problem I face atm is the lack of stores in my area that have active demo models.
[Q] Recommendation for Android Tablets pls
Hey Guys,
I have seen many threads with different versions of tablet and i was wondering if anyone could shed some light on a good one.
I'm after a reasonably priced (meaning Chinese manufacturers less known brand) within a budget of £200, preferably 10 inch tablet.
I'm planning to upgrade afterwards to Android 2.2 or 2.3 (is possible) using your amazing mod ROMS.
Any advice recommendation would be great.
And any sellers that you have used (reliable ones) would also be much appreciated.
Cheers

just make sure you buy something with a capacitive touch screen. I bought a cheapie 7" tablet for my son to play some android games on and it is only resistive touch which makes it a pain to get used to.
It works but you'll want to spend the few extra bucks to get something nice.
Thanx a bunch
Hi folks,
thanx for suggestions.... let me check em out and see how they r.
i saw the latest Gipad and Sipad....... kinda of hit n miss in some areas.
any thoughts

Hello XDA!
I've searched around but have not found a specific topic regarding suggestions of well made resistive screen tablets. What I am looking for is a tablet where writing with a stylus is very easy (like HTC Flyer) but less expensive. Most tablets sporting the stylus seem to be "cheap" ... Does anyone have suggestions on tablet in the 7"-10" range that has a decent set of specs, can be upgraded to Honeycomb (even if unofficial, I can deal with that) and can be found for less than the Flyer (which is going for like $300 now) ... ???
Or just point me to the topic that I missed when searching
Thanks!

you can buy a capacitive (sp?) stylus for under 10 dollars. find an app that's made for handwriting recognition (i'm sure there are plenty) and you're done.
If you NEED something that comes prepackaged with good stylus software, look into the galaxy note or the lenovo thinkpad.

Ya, I would do what he says, meaning get a stylus. I would check out the Amazon Fire, im sure eventually it will get Honeycomb threw hacking, and it is $200.
Please thank me if I helped.
Hi everyone,
Looking for best tablet under $200. I guess that price falls under the chinese versions? I don't mind as long as it's proven to work. ***Really not sure why tablets are $600 or so while tablets and laptops are much cheaper (speak of price gouging).
So, please give me your experience with cheaper tablets. I have seen many of them on places like dhgate.com but really it's way too many of them so I can't decide which has a good reputation or not.
Thanks

For now, I have to give a nod to the 10" screen Lepan which has been running for $199. at Walmart The issue with this unit is only 512 of ram and Android 2.2. I use it as my portable web access in the house that also has its own built in GPS, so I use it out in the field as my Nav unit. Not a bad unit and it will run like 6 hours of video, if I remember correctly is has a 6000 mah battery. Like I said I use it for the web and for games for my 5 year old. But it all depends on what you want to use the tablet for.
Depends on the size you're looking for. For the 7" platform, I'd personally wait for the Google branded pad to come out. Rumor has it, it'll be an nvidia tegra3 running the latest AndroidOS with common tablet specs, for $199.
Reason I'd hesitate to get a kindle fire is the lack of external sd slot.
Thanks for the input guys.
Sorry, I forgot some main points:
1- It must run Android (One of the latest ones - upgradeable to ICS and Rooting capability is a bonus)
2- It would be really really great if it has at least a front facing camera (front and back would be just perfect).
***Can't wait for Google Pad as I have to buy now.
Thanks
I say you should try the viewsonic g tablet. Not the best screen but when rooted its worth it. you can find then on ebay or craigslist for $150-$200.

Both Viewsonic G Tablet and Le Pan II seems to be great options. But let's focus on cons:
Le Pan II: Apparently has wifi issues (That is no cool). Not rootable yet?!
gTablet: Missing GPS and G-Sensor. Has only 512 MB RAM and runs Android 2.2. Missing Microphone.
But, I am already leaning towards gTablet despite all missing parts. I am hoping I can add a USB microphone to it? (that is also my requirement.)
P.S. I can't seem to find any Le Pan II on the market. Everyone is out. Is it a hot item or was taken off-shelf due to Wifi issues?
Thanks again
Best Android tablet under $200
If you want a 7 inch that will be upgraded to ICS, and has GPS and camera, check out the Lenovo A1. It can be had well under $200
Hey guys, I've recently bought a 2-in-1 Windows powered tablet from Acer, model SA5-271-34MN-EN (or just SA5-271). It is a Acer Switch Alpha 12, with i3, 4GB RAM and 256GB SSD.
The one I got does not come with an stylus out of the bxo, but some others does come (I noticed that after watching some unboxing videos).
The thing is that I am trying to figure out which stylus should I buy. I've seen on the official Acer site ( https://us.answers.acer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/42675 ) that it supports two types of stylus from acer, the "Elan NP.STY1A.005" and the "Elan NP.STY1A.006". Since I could not find those models directly on the internet here in my country (I do not live in US, only found to be imported from New York), I'm open to suggestions in which kind of stylus should I look for. By "kind" I mean, capacitive, resistive and others. Still, if someone could clarify the terms to me, it would be better.
I've looked into some of those chinese sites, but since I do not know which pen should I buy, i'm kind of lost here.
The models I looked are:
"Acepen 703AS Rechargeable Surface Pen Active Stylus" - People says it is only for Microsoft surface. Why?
"UGEE P51 Digital Pen Stylus for Drawing Tablet" - People says it is only for UGEE tablets. Why? Shouldn't it work in other screens?
"Original One Netbook Stylus Pen for One Mix Laptop" - People says it is only for One Mix. Why?
"Teclast TL - T6 / F5 Active Stylus" - Ony for Teclast?
Could you guys clarify if an Active Stylus would work in my notebook? And what is the main difference between Active and Passive, from the point of view of my notebook?
TL;DR: Anyone can take a look on Acer 2-in-1 SA5-271 and see which kind of stylus would work on it?
Thanks for the attention.
