Ever couple of days I have to re-register to Kindle with my g-tablet. Kindle Tech support can't help stating that my tablet is not compatible. Strange since ViewSonic specifically mentions kindle in the manual. Can anyone help?
Hello,
My cousin is visiting the states which means it's perfect timing for me to ask for a cheap tablet.
As usual it comes down to NT vs KF. Which device is more compatible with sideloaded android apps?
i think its the nook.. but im unsure..

neither... go get an Asus Transformer or something similar... you have more flexibility to do what you want with apps. The Nook only has like 1 GB for "personal user" space and the Kindle allows some side load stuff, but if you have to root you can say goodbye to Amazon video. At least that's what I rememeber reading lately.

When you say "sideloaded" apps, I take that to mean you are not planning on rooting the device. If that's the case you almost have to go to the Nook Color because of it's SD card slot where you can add media at will. The biggest weakness of the NC is the lack of a microphone, but it's the best 7 (meaning very handy and portable) tablet around (IMO). If you can go larger, then the Asus Transformer is the best - although quite a bit more money as well.
My personal taste for a small, knock-around, tablet is the Nook Color, rooted and overclocked and install apps like Netflix and it's a terrific tablet. You could do the same with the Kindle Fire but you would be lacking that SD card slot.
Either one would be a neat device. Used you can find Nook Colors on ebay for around 150.
Hey guys,
I first wanted to say, I have heard nothing but great things about this site and the people of these forums. That’s what brought me here today!
About two weeks ago I bought a Nook Tablet. I didn’t really want a full tablet because of the price and only wanted to do a few things with it. After playing around with it for several hours I realized that I had to pay for apps I got free on my phone, I was able to sideload a few apps but didn’t block automatic updates so now my Nook is running 1.4.1 or whatever it is, so now I have to use the Nook app store.
So this leads me to my real question. What is a good android tablet I can watch Netflix, play some basic games ( Angry Bird, Farm Story, etc ) , read books using ( nook and kindle apps ) and have the ability to play around and not be so limited.
I was looking at the Samsung - Galaxy Tab 8.9 and the Samsung - Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.
Are these two good tablets? Sadly I haven’t had a chance to play around with them in person yet and only have until tomorrow to return my Nook. I was very happy with the speed of the Nook Tablet so if these are just as fast or faster then ill be happy. Please help me out guys, I’m open to other tablets etc. I’m just looking to keep it under $400 if possible.
Thanks you so much guys,
Glen
Nobody?
You could root your nook tablet then you would get the android market.

I have the Acer iconia a500 tablet and it is great. It can do movies and apps like Netflix great. Plus plenty of games.. and books.
Also you can get them for around 330$
I would also suggest rooting your nook to allow for the android market.

Samsung 7.0+ is the best 7 inch tablet avlible.
Kindle fire is great for a lot of stuff, and crazy cheap, but isnt really android, its just Android based. Still, if it fits your needs its great.
Cheapest full android (honeycomb) 7" tablet is the Acer a100
Good facts, and straight to the point. If I could thank you on the app I would..

HP TouchPad is a 10" tablet that will run CM7 and dual boot webOS. It ships with webOS. ICS is almost ready, just tying up loose ends I guess. They run ~$220 on eBay and online classifieds. 1.2Ghz dual core, 1GB RAM, 16GB onboard storage. Check out the TouchPad forum, very active. The TouchPad has sold more than any other tablet, except the iPad. They have been discontinued, but there is a huge user and dev base, so they are far from dead.

just want to point out, HP touchpad is a 9" tab.
and if you want cheap, you may want to look at the Archos 70b full android honeycomb (soon to be ICS) including front facing camera and android market for $199
Vizio Tablet..
Has anyone found a way to root this tablet after the 1.5 update? Or knows how to downgrade it so i can root it.. Thanks
At the opposite end of the spectrum, what is the best, most powerful, most beautiful Tab out there, or to be released soon? I got a B-Day in April and want my wife to get me one, I am drawn towards the Galaxy, and have the SII as a phone, but would love to see the communities opinions...
the trasformer prime 2.0 <3
best by far.
Has anyone gotten the Amazon Video app to work on their 7+?
I figure since it has the same screen resolution it should work on unrooted tablets unless it just really loves being on Gingerbread.
As a former owner of a Nook Tablet (ditched it for more than 2 points of multitouch on 7+) I know it is not locked onto the Kindle Fire but the Nook Tablet was Gingerbread not Honeycomb so maybe that is the issue.
Not sure if anybody here knows anything about the kindle paperwhite, but I was wondering if it was possible, somehow, to connect your kindle paperwhite to you phone for file transfer?
I'm going to travel south america soon for a longer time and I wanna pack as light as possible, meaning no laptop. However I plan on reading a lot; Don't know which books yet though(Anybody heard of the 52in52 challenge maybe?) and I would love to be able to get books on my kindle from other sources than the kindle store also. So I could download them to my phone and them somehow get them on the kindle.
Any chance thats possible?
