Hi All,
I am shopping for a tablet, and was hoping some vets can give me some recommendations. I'll give you some info if you can help.
I was shopping for a true table last Nov. and then went into the hospital in Dec. and was laid out for a month. I was gifted with a Nook Tablet. I like the Nook Tablet for what it is, and feel its an eReader with tablet features.
My daughter and I use it a lot, but for productivity it's not all I was hoping for when playing with some true tablets with android apps.
I travel alot for work, so having something which is 7" is greate for me. When on a plane I can shelve my lap top and not fight for space with the person next to me (well there is the arm rest rules).
So, I've taken a few surverys on "What is the best tablet for me" and came down with three:
- iPAD (Not a Fan)
- Sony S
- Samsung Tab
Tiger Direct has a 150 instant rebate for a Samsung Tab 7 Plus at stores where it is still in stock (3 stores in my city have).
My question(s), any feedback between the Sony or Samsung?
Why is the Samsung 7 still available, but the Plus is discontinued?
Should I wait until March or April for either the Samsung Tab 2 or the ASUS model?
Thanks all in advance,
Chris
Get the Acer a500

WOW - This tablet is just perfect and can be bought for a very reasonable price online at Tesco's/HMV/Play/Amazon or Staples (where I got mine for £329.99 - BARGAIN!
It runs Anrdoid 2.2, is made by Foxconn (build quality is excellent!) and IMHO is the best Android device money can by for overall size/usability.
Any plans to open a dedicated forum? Any devs out there able to port Flash or Flashlite from the HTC Legend - I think this device uses the same chipset (MSM7227).
Gotta say, Angry Birds is just right on this screen - the iPad is just too large and cumbersome... At the pricepoint this is currently at, you cant afford to miss it.
I tend to agree with you. I got mine from Tesco for £299. I would also like like to know if there is a hack/app for Flash 10? I am very happy with my N700 in my opinion the best one I've had out of 4 tablets off ebay.

Just wondering where I can get one in the U.S.
Sorry folks, wrong forum and I don't know how to move it
She's really liking it but I need it too.
Any recommendations for 7 inch tablet for her? Something I could put the market on to download all the kids educational stuff. Hopefuly capacitive screen but fairly inexpensive. Any ideas???
I got my son a Archos 3.2 7" tab from newegg. Not real expensive and has a market per say....they also released a update to 2.3.4
I'm trying to decide which tablet to get, I don't want the iPad or iPad 2.
I've heard a lot about a number of tablets, such as the Eee Pad Transformer, Galaxy Tab, Archos 101, Acer Iconia etc. etc.
I can't seem to figure out which one offers the best value for money, so I wanted to gather some opinions on which tablet people would say is the best out of the lot? Apple excluded.
Thanks
the best value for money has probably the iconia a500 because it has the same specs as the other HC tablets, but has a full usb port, which the others haven't.
the archos is just too old nowadays(1ghz single core, lower resolution,...)
the transformer is an alternative, but you need the keyboard dock for usb support and the build quality is worse compared to the galaxy tab and the iconia.
the galaxy tab 10.1 is another great tab, but it lacks a hdmi/usb port and the price is too high imo.

I would go for the Acer Iconica, or if you are willing to pay too much, I'd grab the Galaxy Tab.

Bases on your question:
the answer is galaxy tab,lot of source data mention it. But since you add "value for money" in it the answer is change

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is a nice piece of hardware. The new TouchWiz update is actually pretty cool too.
Try Samsung Galaxy II...
The second most popular tablet to iPad2 is the ASUS Transformer.
But, this will change in the future..since many more players will join the game...and the most potential one is Amazon with its hot rumored Amazon Tablet.
Asus is the n1 now but i have an link with prices and spec's @ google; best tabs
i have the iconia A500 and bought it due to value and lower price. I couldnt be happier!
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.

I'd like some advice/opinions on choices, I'll list a few wants and dont wants:
Doesnt have to have sim/phone facility, only really need wireless connectivity.
Would like expandability with an SD card.
Decent performance and pref JB 4.1+ ROM/OS

Narrowed down to possibly nexus or samsung tab.
All/any thoughts welcome.
Many Thanks

I'm partial to my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7", but nothing against Nexus. I'm running stock JB 4.1.1 ATM. Mine is a WIFI only model ( GT-P3113 ). Inbuilt 8 GB storage with a maximum 32 GB sdcard, which I have . Dual core 1.1 ghz processor. Darn thing is pretty quick.
I live in the US, so I really cannot recommend anywhere to purchase one. Sorry.
My suggestion is the Nexus line, so the Nexus 7. The Nexus is one of the best tabs on the market, and if I had the money I would have a Nexus 7 *and* Nexus 10. They are amazing tablets, and one of the benefits of being made by Google is updates. AFAIK the Nexus 7/10 already have the 4.2.2 update *officially* which is a big plus in my book.
I also live in the US, so can't really recommend anywhere special beyond Best Buy or Amazon.

Thanks for the feedback! .Jon
We have both a Samsung Tab 2 7" and a Nexus 7 in our family. I think you'd be happy with either one. I use the Tab 2 and am very happy with it. Don't think you can go wrong either way. Tab 2 advantage is SD card, Nexus advantage is updates. For me the SD card is more important. As always depending on your use (you want to stock alot of movies or other) the Tab 2 might be the way to go
