I went to comet last week to play with one. I am still undecided between this one, the Iconia(which I played with at Curry's), and the Xoom.

Any initial thoughts on the Iconia vs the Transformer as you've had a play with both?

i hv tried the iconia in curry's....looks quite heavier than Xoom (sorry i havent got my transformer yet) and thicker
the touch screen seems to be slower responses than the Xoom as well
but the price of Iconia is good though, with a USB port and HDMI port ...
On the contrary, comparing the Xoom with the Iconia, the Iconia felt lighter - though almost unnoticeable - certainly not heavier than the Xoom.
I felt the Iconia was more responsive than the Eee-pad. The browser on the Eee-pad force closed on me twice in 10mins. I didn't get that with the Xoom or the Iconia.
The design of the Eee-pad I think is the best of the 3. Although I think the build quality of the Xoom is top notch. The Iconia's design is below par IMO.
The USB and mini USB are a selling point for the Iconia. I think I noticed a mini-sd card slot on the side of the Eee-pad. (Can anyone please confirm that?).
The glare I kept getting on the Iconia was almost unbearable compared with the Xoom. The Eee-pad was great.
Same specs, same operating system, if the Eee-pad had a USB on the tablet itself and not on the dock, I would have called it the best of them.
For now, I am at cross-roads.

Thanks for that. Noted.
I read in another thread that you have a Transformer already. What is the battery life like compared with the Xoom?

Around 9 hours in my experience - how that compares to the Xoom I couldn't say, but I guess it's probably comparable.

guys comet latest Ship date is the May 3 plus 2 weeks shipping to Kuwait = almost June my local distributer told me he will have it June first thats with warranty and keyboard.
any other sites that sell or ship faster?
have been looking round for a tab, while the transformer prime seems best its now almost double the cost of the xoom, even though the xoom is quite old, it seems anything else around is still tegra2 or dual core similar spec hardware to the xoom, so i dont see any point apart from the weight in getting anything newer or more expensive, is it still a good option guys? you can get one for around £260 in the UK where as the transformer prime would be £499 and the original transformer maybe £350
i just returned a scroll extreme as it was just soooooooooooooo laggy!! i dont want anything with huge lag like that again
This late? I wouldn't buy the xoom today at its current price.

So I'm the first to respond...the original Xoom is a wonderful device and is even better now than it was when it was new because it has ICS official update, and best of all, the most fantastic developers and real bleeding-edge advances in Xoom software. It's so well built and sturdy that the bit of additional weight doesn't matter. In my opinion the Xoom is still the best tablet available, as everything works well and there's tons of additional functionality with custom roms.
The xoom is built like a tank and with it's specs what else out there is better for the money. I have two of them and the last one I picked up for $315 U.S.
Picked up 32 gb wifi only xoom a few months back with original box and 5 cases (4 still sealed) for $275 off craigslist. Didn't think it was too bad and I'll be keeping xoom for awhile

the only thing i can see maybe 'better' for the money is the asus transformer 101 maybe just because its a little lighter and can be expanded with the kb if need be, also the connectivity looks a little better placed, and its just as supposed with roms and people using it. These are both £290 ish in the UK?
i mean the xoom 2 is a little more expensive but for that lighter slimmer body you lose the expansion slow, sure you can use the usb host but i dont like that idea, would prefer an expansion slot, the galaxy tab just seem out there with the price, then you have the acer a200 which ones again is similar so im thinking the original xoom or asus transformer in this price bracket is the best option...
I only got my Xoom about 3 weeks ago, £280 from PC world. Been an android guy for a year now so did my research to see what the community support was like. Noticed that we're getting official CM9 support, that made the deal even sweeter. Still team EOS provide excellent support on AOSP builds. Even in terms of specs, great screen, great processor, can be overclocked (and stable). In my opinion this is still a great buy!
I too want to buy a tablet. But I'm confused between xoom, galaxy tab 10.1 and transformer TF101.
So what do you guys suggest?
My requirements are, good support by Dev community and which wont brick easily...
Thanks..
Peace.
Hi I just picked up a Motorola Xoom WiFi 32GB via a pricerunner.co.uk search. This got me a £5 discount making the delivered price just under £245. I tried to upgrade to ICE/Android 4.0, but managed to “Brick” the device …so be warned and be patient.
Fortunately I manage to resolve this issue with the help of some XDA forum links, YouTube and Motorola site itself. I will try and write up the details of my problem and solution in another thread.
I am now back to the original Android 3.2 version and so far I am very happy the XOOM.

the Xoom has great community support and as far as I know the galaxy tab 10.1 does too because that was another option of mine and community support is a big factor when I buy a new product both I believe are getting official CM9 support. i can't speak for the TF101,I don't know much about that one

I have all three and the best will be the one you can find at the best price. All three are near similar hardware with each having an advantage/disadvantage to the others.
Community/Dev support I would have to say the Xoom wins though...as well as being difficult to brick. Google "Experience" device really makes the Xoom a great device.
(I use the Xoom, my wife is using the Transformer and I gave my mother the Galaxy Tab).
in my opinion, its the best tablet for the cost.
main cons are weight and potentially out of date hardware. that hasn't stopped it from being the first official device to receive 4.0.4
would love if i could get a 2nd one as backup.
HD dock is wonderful. it even works with my otterbox.
Xoom is the best overall tablet. Newer tablets have shinier items, but considering the durability, functionality, support and overall user experience, I don't think you could go wrong buying a xoom.
I do have a Xoom either and I think it's a good choice and you won't regret buying it. It isn't expensive for its quality and it runs very well and smoothly especially with CM9 ICS.

Actually, the Xoom has a better frame rate than the Transformer 101. You could search for the thread that proves it somewhere here in General or Q&A (sometime last summer?).
If you can find one for a good price I think it's a no-brainer. Great build quality and great active devs on XDa. What more could you possibly ask for?

Actually xoom is not availiable online right now and the one availiable in stores is a 3g model which is out of my range. So I was thinking about buying galaxy tab..
So what do you guys suggest? Should I go for the tab or spend some extra bucks on xoom?
I really can't decide.. coz both of them almost same...

check craigslist in your area, or look on ebay. do your research and you are sure to find a great deal!
I've had Xoom since almost release day. Wifi at start and chose it over the galaxy tab just cause it felt more rugged. Tab was nice but felt cheep. Haven't regretted it one bit. Now I own 2 xooms, wifi and 4g, wifi one my son mainly uses. Got my 3g/4g on Craigslist for 400, came dock, leather case and original box.
based on your guys opinions here and elsewhere, i ordered the xoom and should have it in my hands tomorrow. really excited about this device! i even changed my sig already
Hi,
I'm a newbie here... to both Android and the XDA Forums. I'm looking to purchase a tablet for no more than $400 USD.
I like the pros of the Nexus 7.... being that its quad core and its $200.
Still... the lack of expandable memory and DLNA is a sore point for me.
For a while I was settled on the GTab 2 7.0 (I have a GT-I9100 so Samsung Bias is expected). I didn't see the need spending an extra $100+ for an extra 3.1" on the screen size to get the 10.1 version.
This was my choice until some bastard (lol) mentioned the TF300T and now I'm back where I was before....
Now every review I've read... so far... owners mention having the dock. That's an extra $130 and pushes the cost up to $500. Now.... I may get the dock... if I WANT TO... if I indeed go with getting the TF300T but I want it to be a choice and not something I HAVE to get.
So my question is, sans the docking station, just HOW good is the TF300T compared to say... well... a GTab 2 10.1"? What are the caveats?
Appreciate any assistance forthcoming. Thank you for your time.
i don't use my dock at all. in my opinion the dock is only usefull if you plan on writing a novel or essays.

So it IS a functional tablet as far when compared to the GTab2 10.1? No drawbacks?
I don't have the dock, and I don't see myself buying it in the future. I wanted the TF300T for mobility, and it's pretty good .
If the need arises for a physical keyboard, I'll just take my laptop with me. The only thing I regret from the dock is the USB port - I can't buy the adapter in my country.

Yes....and is more powerful than the GTab 2 which is a dual-core machine (vs quad core in the Transformer).
On the flip side - the GTab has built-in 3G support. The TF300T is wi-fi only.
The TF300TG has wi-fi/3G...but it's not available in all territories.
The keyboard dock is obviously useful for productivity apps....but it's also handy for old DOS games, hacking etc.
It also has the SD card....and extends the battery life by 5 - 6 hours.
IMO, it's a more flexible device with the option of the keyboard. I use it as a tablet probably 70% of the time.

This tablet absolutely Trashes GTab2, better performance, better screen, the ability to get the dock if you want to. The one drawback I find is that there are more accessories for the GTab 2 (like the smartcover) but I think that gets fixed in time. Also Asus is famous for bringing fast updates and there is already CM10 (Android 4.1.1) rom out for the TF300. I would really get this tablet over the gtab2, don't really see any reason to get it, it's pretty crappy in the end, so laggy.
For me, the dock is just like an extra acessory to my tablet. I rarely use it. The tablet is perfect even without it. Of course, the USB thing is really useful
I agree. I don't have or need the dock. The TF300T is great and ASUS support is fantastic.

I would get the ASUS...even with its little quirks.
My ONLY complaint about this tablet is the lag in the browser...some experience it,some dont. it is annoying but not terrible.
and i have a feeling Jelly Bean will fix it.
the main advantages of the ASUS over the galaxy tab is the update time. ASUS has always been on of the first to deliver the latest version of android to thier devices.....Samsung on the other hand....not so much. i believe they JUST (as in the last month) updated to original tab 10.1 to ICS...asus updated their original tf101 like 4 months ago.
also the quad core is pretty nice for graphically intense games (dead trigger looks fantastic) in every day use though, you probably wont notice much of a difference.
not to mention the dock. i dont have one, and i dont think i really need one...however i would take one in a heart beat if i got a good deal on it. just adds so much functionality.
I hardly use the dock. Slightly annoying since it costs so much.

I dont have the dock , i dont see the need for it , has much of the use I do with the TF300 is gaming and to watch some anime. But is nice to know if ever want to do more then just gaming I can buy the dock and make it a netbook.
With the lack of a USB, How do you browse, add and remove media from the device using a PC? (When you don't have the dock).
Suppose, heaven forbid, I'm in a place where there is no Wifi, how would I transfer media?
If I can successfully navigate this with one caveat with ease, then we have a winner

You can still use the cable, or use a micro SD to transfer data to your tablet. Easy enough.
Only had mine for a week, but it works great with or without the dock.
Some things are easier with it, but still easily manageable without it really

I don't have the dock and I liked having that as an option if I decided to get it in the future. I love my tablet as is and I usually get SAMSUNG products. Asus is quick about upgrades unlike SAMSUNG. The dev support is picking up, and the device is at an excellent price point for the specs that it comes with.

It has the tegra 3 which is much faster than the omap 4430. It also doesn't have touchwiz and is pretty much aosp with a few minor mods. The tegra 3 also gives you access to much more of the system ram. Close to the full gig. I've noticed on my galaxy nexus that only about 700 is available so it must share it with the GPU. That extra 250 or so makes a difference during multitasking.

Dude I was in the exact situation as you. Also have the SGS2 and was considering tablets like you. The Stab 10.1 was my 1st choice ofc until I realized for way less I could get way more.
I got the TF300T without the 3G because I par it to my SGS2 without any problems and both of them have BT 3.0 so its practically as fast as your internet connection can go on 3G.
Other than that I dont have the dock as I wanted a Tablet not a Netbook and because its paired with my phone to share the internet connection I have absolutely no issues with any type of connectivity. Other than that Your SGS2 SD card firs in the tablet so you could just copy stuff on there and plug it into your tab and copy it off putting it back in your phone if you want OR you could just install Dropbox to transfer files with like I do
With the tablet you get 8 gig's of Asus web storage and there is a app for it you can install on your home PC and on your phone if you want to do it that way too.
There is literally multiple ways to get stuff shared in between them.
Okay guys, I need some advice here. I am going to be forced to buy a tablet for work. I am the salesman of the month and what they do is give $500 or an IPad if you don't have a tablet. This will be used primarily for work with office software, emails, remote desktop, etc.
I am not sure that I want the IPad. I am thinking Android but not very familiar with the tablets. My brother had a Xoom and I am not crazy about it. I was wanting to decide on something so I might be able to get it in the Market Place here on XDA. I also think I want to be able to buy accessories like a dock,etc.to use with it.
Let me know what you guys think.....
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Just FYI, the $500 limit is probably unrealistic. Especially with a dock, etc..
I do love my Samsung Galaxy 10.1" 32GB, but they can't sell them now or something because of a law suit with Apple'
I also have an ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T Tablet 64GB and it is quick! But a TF300T would probably serve you real well!
Just make sure not to go below 32GB. You won't be happy if you do!
The ASUS has a really nice dock, if you're going to do a lot of typing. As for remote, TeamViewer puts the PC's desktop on your tablet.
Hope this helps!
I'd second a recommendation for the Asus TF300 or TF700 series. If you opt for a $700, you can buy a TF201 Prime dock that will work with the new Infinity tablet. I mention this as it will be cheaper than the official TF700 keyboard dock ($30 - 40).
My brother has the original galaxy tab that I could probably pick if for $100 but it has a very small screen and not much storage. It does have an SD card slot though.
Do any of you think the IPad is better than an Android tablet for office stuff? I will not be gaming on it, never really liked it or don't have the time.

I can't really give a non-biased answer on that. I know people that have iPads and have integrated them with their day-to-day work, but more often than not I see them playing games or checking email and not really do anything that's specific to the platform.
I know I personally would opt for the Android tablet route, but for e-mail, remote desktop, etc I think the apps are good on both sides of the fence and you'll be happy either way you go
Samsung
If you want an android tablet Samsung is probably the way to go
What would be a good price on the original 7" tablet that he has? It is Verizon 3g leather case and dock. He has it on a data plan now but I think I will use WiFi only. Oh it also has the SD card slot and is 8/10.

The new tab2 from samsung is very good one....
You guys are slacking. Nexus 7 16GB and pocket $250 for accessories...beer money...hookers and blow.
7"-8" is where it's at for portability. Who wants to lug around a freaking iPad all day.
If you absolutely need storage then OTG cable or wi-drive such as AirStash or Kingston Wi-Drive...
I don't know how anyone can be on XDA and still stomach it to wake up in the morning owning an Apple product. Wasn't so bad previously, but this latest round of lawsuits has gotten out of hand and I choose to practice what I preach.

Well, I'd say Xoom 2. It's beautiful and has a great built quality (and it's also water resistant).
I'd go for the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T.
The display and processor are simply hard to beat!
Asus Transformer is hands down the best.
Usability, the Samsung is the clear winner. The ASUS has no Task Manager (likke in Win). It has no screen captue icon in the Task/Status Bar. The ASUS powers up just from plugging it in to charge and there's no way to see how much charge it has, without starting it up.
These things do make a big difference and they are annoying weaknesses of the ASUS TF700T! In fact, I'm debating returning the ASUS and keeping my slower Samsung because of these things only. But I do like how fast and smooth the ASUS is and how good its screen looks.
However, without ebing able to root this ASUS, I can't do a lot of what I need to do and the DebugFS rooting method acts like it worked, but it doesn't and I can't post to that thread yet, because you have to jump thru hoops here first. So far its been a few days and I'll have a few more to go before I can post there, if I still even can. No offense to the admins, but it really pisses me off! I came here for one reason and one reason only and that was to address the developer about why it's not working for me and that will take a week! I will probably have returned the ASUS by then and say screw it. I wouldn't care if I could find another way to root it, but Google gives me no love there.
I know that last part seems off-topic, but it's not, considering how many people will need to be able to root and that being part of a recommendation and fols having problems with what seems to be the only rooting method available and no way to ask for help here, if they just got the device, find out the developer posts here and have to wait days just to ask a lousy question.
So as weird as it sounds, the ASUS has a mark against it due to XDA-Forums. If the util doesn't work, that is. Again, no offense. That's just the way it is.
Moral of the story? If you need to root, you can try the ASUS if you want. But if the util doesn't work right away and you don't have the privileges here, then just return it and get the Samsung, if you can't wait. Otherwise, just get the Samsung. It will root easy enough. If the situation weren't what it is with access to the developer, then no big deal.
I'm looking to get an ASUS tablet but with all the different models I'm looking for input from you guys that are rooted and running custom roms.
I'm a cellphone guy and this will be my first tablet. I'm not looking to get some pile that I'm going to be pissed off about because I can't do this or that.
I don't really have a "need" since I'm just looking for something to hack on...(root, roms, customization, web browsing..running benchmarks because I like looking at the speed, OC'ing... ya know the normal nerd shiz.
The "tinkering" is what I like, probably the same as alot of you guys, just trying new things on it and that stuff...just like my S3.
I'm looking at the tf700t right now for $300 used. I can't really find the difference with the "t" specification on the end..?
Which model should i be interested in if this isn't the "one?"
Am I going to be happy with this, being able to root and flash roms?
Is this the one with the plastic piece/bezel on the top so the GPS actually works decent?
Are these speedy or are they piles of crap?
Is $300 a decent price?
Would you go with Google Nexus 10 instead?
I
Is this the tf700t? removed
is that one above the same as this one?
removed
Hard to tell for me since I never handled these guys.
Well Thanks for your help, if you think I'm missing the boat here and should go with a different tablet, let me know. I like the ASUS look, but not set in stone on it. I see some people saying they regret buying their ASUS tab and wish they went with the Nexus10. I like the Nexus10 too.
The first one is not the same as the second, the first one was the model before called the transformer prime, that one was removed from stores within about 6 months. I advise you to stay away from that one. The one on the bottom is the transformer infinity the one that is the better one. I have mine rooted and unlocked with cleanrom 2.4 and clemsyns 1.9 kernal. Boy can I say that its a sweet device now, stock it was okay but now its amazing. I would totally get it with the price of 350$.
This tablet has some advantages over the nexus 10 too.
Transformer Infinity's (TF700T) Advantages:
It has a micro SD card slot.
It has a dock that you can always connect to for extra battery life along with more ports.
Development is stronger AT THE MOMENT for this tablet.
For 350$ you can get 32 gigs of storage.
Nexus 10s advantages:
Better processor inside.
Better screen resolution.
Better support from manufacturer.
Disadvantages:
No micro SD card slot.
No docking station that adds battery life.
400$ only gets you 16 gbs of memory.
Not a lot known about this tablet yet to judge how great it really is or can be.

I'm looking to get an ASUS tablet but with all the different models I'm looking for input from you guys that are rooted and running custom roms.
I'm a cellphone guy and this will be my first tablet. I'm not looking to get some pile that I'm going to be pissed off about because I can't do this or that.
I don't really have a "need" since I'm just looking for something to hack on...(root, roms, customization, web browsing..running benchmarks because I like looking at the speed, OC'ing... ya know the normal nerd shiz.
The "tinkering" is what I like, probably the same as alot of you guys, just trying new things on it and that stuff...just like my S3.
I'm looking at the tf700t right now for $300 used. I can't really find the difference with the "t" specification on the end..?
Which model should i be interested in if this isn't the "one?"
Am I going to be happy with this, being able to root and flash roms?
Is this the one with the plastic piece/bezel on the top so the GPS actually works decent?
Are these speedy or are they piles of crap?
Is $300 a decent price?
Would you go with Google Nexus 10 instead?
I
Is this the tf700t? http://appleton.craigslist.org/ele/3320859999.html
is that one above the same as this one?
http://appleton.craigslist.org/ele/3396655643.html
Hard to tell for me since I never handled these guys.
Well Thanks for your help, if you think I'm missing the boat here and should go with a different tablet, let me know. I like the ASUS look, but not set in stone on it. I see some people saying they regret buying their ASUS tab and wish they went with the Nexus10. I like the Nexus10 too.

The first one is not the same as the second, the first one was the model before called the transformer prime, that one was removed from stores within about 6 months. I advise you to stay away from that one. The one on the bottom is the transformer infinity the one that is the better one. I have mine rooted and unlocked with cleanrom 2.4 and clemsyns 1.9 kernal. Boy can I say that its a sweet device now, stock it was okay but now its amazing. I would totally get it with the price of 350$.
This tablet has some advantages over the nexus 10 too.
Transformer Infinity's (TF700T) Advantages:
It has a micro SD card slot.
It has a dock that you can always connect to for extra battery life along with more ports.
Development is stronger AT THE MOMENT for this tablet.
For 350$ you can get 32 gigs of storage.
Nexus 10s advantages:
Better processor inside.
Better screen resolution.
Better support from manufacturer.
Disadvantages:
No micro SD card slot.
No docking station that adds battery life.
400$ only gets you 16 gbs of memory.
Not a lot known about this tablet yet to judge how great it really is or can be.
Hope this helps you out a little.

How does the n10 have better support? Asus is considered to be the best. Even if the n10 is a nexus, it's made by Samsung, considered to be the worst...

Because its a google product so logically google is going to release all of its updates and support quicker then any other device period. Dont get me wrong Asus has some awesome support.
Thanks guys.
I agree with the advantages over the Nexus tablet. I like the expandable storage. Plus 32gb for the price is great.
The resolution is better on the N10 but, really, I'm not a huge freak about that.
I'm sure the resolution is great and it has IPS mode right? I've heard good things about that.
I thought I'd be missing NFC, but in reality, it's a novelty to me, wow cool, ok move on. I've used it like 4 times on my S3, only because i bought a bunch of the tiles. They are in a drawer somewhere. Useless.
The dock looks pretty decent, kinda pricey but, i'll find a used one.
The infinity has USB OTG right? I'm assuming it does.
The processor difference between the N10 isn't that great and I don't really do anything that requires that much power..besides wow'ing myself with benchmarks, so i think it will be fine.
I'm not too worried about the updates since I won't be stock ever. I'm sure we'll be at 4.2 within no time if isn't already.
Thanks for the tips, I'm going to try to score the infinity off craigslist right now. I'll let you know what I think.
One last question..
The "gold" grey" models is referring to the actual color right or am I retarded? or both?

The resolution on the infinity still wows me though, its a nice looking tablet regardless. Sadly the infinity doesnt have USB on it however there is an adapter that plugs into your charger port to give you that support.
I have to agree that the dock is sweet but pricey, I personally dont own one yet and am patiently waiting for a Ubutu port before I make any further purchases.
Yeah the benchmarks on this thing are crazy if you do some tweaking, I will attach a pic with my benchmark on this post. It is pretty good.
Just make sure that it is indeed the infinity as the post says the transformer prime which is different then the transformer infinity. If the guy has the box the box should say infinity. Good luck man!
EDIT:Yes that is referring to is color not a stupid question either lol.

Except it's still Samsung.... updates still have to go through the original OEM... So if the oem sucks, so will update. Look at the galaxy nexus as an example...

I guess that's true I just don't see them releasing updates for other tablets before their own.

No, it’s a Nexus device the software will be updated by Google. The OEM means nothing.

So far so good. I really haven't played with it, been busy with some other stuff but i'm glad i got it over the n7 or n10 even.
Once I root/rom i'll let you know, stock isn't what i like on anything.
Thanks for asking though!!
Congrats on the Infinity purchase!! You'll love it! Better choice than the N10 in my opinion. I had the Prime, then bought the Infinity when it was released and my girlfriend got the Prime. The only thing about the N10 that excites me is that GameLoft and EA said they are going to support it with their games. So that means the Infinity will get support too with its high res display!! Bonus!!!

Thats good that your liking it man, once you root it and get that custom rom on it you will be amazed believe me. I only have one complaint about the tablet and its the my left side of my screen creeks but other then that I dont have any of the other problems people are complaining about.
Yes!! Finally gameloft will support this beast of a device!

As an Infinity owner I would have gone to Nexus 10. It is so much better device than this.
Just saw a video where some guy had opened 6 3D games and was multitasking and playing fluently those games. You just can't do that with this tablet. This will die under 2 games already.
