I was thinking that a Generic Android Tablet Discussion thread would be a good idea. No matter the brand , maker size etc. Talk about them here.
Im debating between the Archos 101 and waiting to see if the Moto tab is good.
Whats Out There
I have been keeping a keen eye out for the variety of higher end tablets and here is what I have sort of come up with so far:
Samsung Tablet (7")
Motorola Stingray (10")
Viewsonic viewpad (7")
LG Optimus pad
SteamTV Elocity pad (7")
Archos Family of pads (3"-10")
They all have there merits, and the minor things that make them not so great. But here is a list of the gamot of features you can look for. Some of the tablets have alot of them, some have none, its basically what you want to do with it:
3G
WIFI
GPS
Bluetooth 2.1 or 3.0
Capacitive Screen
USB port(s)
(Micro) SD card slot
HDMI
G-Sensor
Accelerator meter
Geomagnetic sensor
Light Sensor
Front Camera
Back Camera
Google Apps Integration
NVIDA Tegra 2 versus 1GHx CPU w/ GPU
1024 x 600 resolution versus 800 x 480
RAM
Disk Space
Version of Android (2.2 now 3.0 later)

I know they are poppping out of the woodwork now. My biggest thing is that the majority are really expensive. Like the new Toshiba announced today is $540. THat is why Either the Cruz or Archos will match all my criteria. But the nice thing is that there seems to be a ton of different options.
Toshiba Folio 100
10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen
1024 x 600
Android 2.2 (Froyo)
NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor
16 GB internal storage (32 GB available SD expansion)
Adobe Flash 10.1
1.3 MP front-facing camera
Mini-HDMI
USB 2.0
Bluetooth 2.1
WLAN (802.11)
Mobile broadband (available Q1 2011)
I've been disappointed with the IFA ones as almost all of them have 3G which means here, onerous data contracts or ridiculous prices w/o.
Archos underwent feature regression(e.g. no GPS), and has some whacked prices for the 70 & 101. The rest seem kind of useless to me too small and at least the smallest two don't have any way of expanding storage which makes them kind of useless as anything other than a portable music player.
The Viewsonic is the Olivepad one? Didn't seem to be all that great.
Toshiba Folio MIGHT have been nice, but that Tegra will likely make it expensive.
...just too many hawking 3G and not enough that have useful extras like higher res cameras, GPS, mics, and maybe bluetooth... i.e. I'm just meh'ed by IFA offerings... Witstech A81-E is still looking good and they just got another new fw release 8/31...
Good catch, forgot the toshiba one. Here is what I am looking for a tablet:
3G (mainly so I can have google apps)
7" Display
Capacitive screen (OMLED prefered)
1024 x 600
Android 2.2 upgradeable to android 3.0
front camera
1 GHz CPU (perferably the tegra 2)
GPU (if no NVIDIA CPU)
front camera (dont care about a back one)
A-GPS
Bluetooth (at least 2.1)
WIFI B/G/N
USB
8+ GB internal storage
SD card slot is nice but not manditory
HDMI is nice but not manditory
Which matches up with the samsung tab, but the British price I found had it at over 600 British pounds, which converts to over 1000 US dollars.

Damn that is expensive.
Im mainly looking for a ereader, web surfer, watch some videos on trips, and check my gapps when on wifi.
Check out the stream tv elocity pad. No 3g, but no gps ether. the reason why everyone puts on 3g is because it's the only way to get google apps on it, until google changes their requirements for google apps.

My wishlist is 2ghz processor at least 50gb harddrive maybe even (dare I say it) windows 7. I would like my tablet to replace my laptop. Android just isn't ready yet.
I saw talks of honeycomb [url="http://phandroid.com/2010/09/02/android-3-5-honeycomb-to-be-on-samsungs-next-generation-of-tablets-in-2011/]"here[/url] on the samsung tablet. That might be nice . Or that isn't going to be outdated in a few months

I think a 2Ghz CPU, as of right now, is over powered for android. I have a Gentouch78 tablet that runs at 600MHz and it seems to run OK. My 1GHz nexus one has had no issues, and I have it multi tasking several apps at once sometimes. It will get really hot, especially when I toss the car charger on it while its doing all that, but never seen it slow down to unresponsiveness. As for the HDD space. I dont use mine much for multi media, so 50gb would be overdoing it for me. Just the ability to have an SD card slot would be enough for me, that right there is 32 gb.
Now dealing with the android OS itself, this is where things are starting to get wierd. You have 2.2, which is really a phone OS, you have 3.0 which is really a tablet OS, and so the current samsung tablet is supposed to be 2.2 and will get 3.0, but now this 3.5 is where it gets confusing. Some of the stuff I have been reading is stating that 3.5 is going to be an entirely different OS completly, or at least have an entirely different usage beyond that of a tablet or cell phone. And that you will have to buy an entirely new piece of hardware to use it because samsung already said their current tablet wont get 3.5 when it comes out, but i twill get 3.0. This is making me think that 3.5 may be the google chrome OS, which from what I am hearing I am not a total fan of. So basically, the idea as I understand it, is that the hardware will just be the input/output device and all the applications will be stored on teh cloud as well as the work being done will be done on the cloud. This is all nice and dandy until either 1) everyone gets on all at once and bogs down the system or 2) the cloud or network goes down and the device is worthless. Thats why I like android right now. If you have no data connection you can still do work. Now some things on android that do run off the cloud, like the GPS, if you need to reroute and you loose the data connection, since all the work is done on the back end you cant get anywhere until the data connection comes back.
Since Android is a full fledge Linux OS I think it can do whatever you need it to do, you just need to port the apps over. So i think it can replace a laptop, but there will always be certain things that make a laptop easier to use that are unrelated to the android OS, like a real keyboard. With phones, for instance, I still feel more comfortable texting on a physical keyboard on my blackberry then I do on the virtual keyboard on my nexus one. Now can I develope a web page, photoshop some images and toss them on the web page, with android? If they ported the apps over then sure why not, the physical keyboard will just make it easier. But as soon as you start talking windows 7 you are changing the entire hardware requirements (ARM CPU versus an x86 CPU) which will allow you to run your favorite web development software and photo editing software, and now your 50gb of disk space will be all chewed up with the OS and applications but no room for media, and with the new hardware requirements the price goes up (not like the samsung tab isnt expensive either) but then the bottom line is its still awkward to use because of the lack of a physical keyboard.
Now I am just using web development/photo editing as an example, simplier tasks, like email and web surfing, will require less and are easily done on the android OS. But the bottom line is to use the right tool for the right job, outline your requirements and find a solution that best fits your needs. I believe that android will be a decent laptop replacement if all your doing with your laptop is surfing the web and sending email but if your trying to do less casual stuff, like photo editing and web development, then android right now is obviously not enough, but in the future it might be. It goes back to the age old question, does hardware push the software industry, or does software push the hardware industry?

Hmmm.... looks like they took a screenshot of an android VM running on ubuntu and photoshopped it into their device. If they don't have any pictures of the tablet in action, I'd be really dubious...
Finally I ordered this one, so will post some review when it arrives.
So I tested tablet I ordered few weeks ago and realized that this is the same device as Advent Vega. I test quadrant benchmark and got 2200 points without any customization of rom.
Screen is nice and response is fast. I can recommend this one.

I found it on alibaba.com ( w w w . alibaba. com/product-tp/111757797/Nvidia_10Inch_tablet_PC_with_Capacitive.html ) or you can try web I posted before
I'm doing my research to figure out which tablet to purchase when the wave of CES2011 tablets hit the market.
Like most here on XDA, I won't want to run the stock image from the manufacturer for obvious reasons. But in order to get a custom rom, there needs to be critical mass here on XDA for its development.
So I'd like to figure out - what tablet do you plan to purchase when they're released? That will help me narrow down my choices to those that will have interest from the Chef community.
I don't know yet -- I want to get something smallish and inexpensive that the kids can use for messing around -- perhaps a Nook color rooted and rom'd
Hmm -- I wonder if the Nook cooks have a honeycomb ROM in the works...
EDIT: OMG they do
What about the Nook Color?

Another vote for Nook Color
I'm running the Nook Color with Honeycomb v04 flash zip you can find in the Nook Color section. It runs pretty good now, can't wait to see what happens when the full source code is out.
The size is great, screen is awesome and the devs are doing some amazing things already with them. Plus at $250 can't beat the price.
I am planning on buying a Nook Color to use as a Honeycomb tablet. (Especially when the AOSP Honeycomb source is released for the Nook Color developers to get a hold of.)
I would jump on a nook color, but the 7" screen is just a little too small for me.
I've narrowed my search to 10" screens @ 1280X800 (or equivalent).
My ideal specs:
Processor: Dual Core ARM (Tegra 2 or equiv)
Screen: 10" @ 1280X800 (hopefully could be read outside)
Battery Life: 8-10hrs
Wifi: B/G/N
3G: Not necessary, would leech off my phone's wifi router
OS: No overlay interface, just plain old honeycomb from the chefs here at XDA
Camera: Front & Back (although I only care about front for video conferencing)
System Memory: At least 1 gig, 2 would be preferable
Storage: 8gb+ onboard; SD card to augment
Power source: Stanard Mini or Micro USB; No proprietary charger
GPS: Don't care
Color: Any color as long as comes in black
Accessories:
- Docking / charging station that allows viewing at either Horizontal or Vertical
- iPad like case that allows a variety of viewing positions & props up for typing
Yea, Nook Color is excellent, but is a little small for me as well.
I'm also looking for a 10.2" tablet. There are so many out there now, epad for example. They are cheap as well, but most have 2.1. I'd live to get one with 2.2 for cheap.

Lenovo LePad
Interesting - Lenovo plans to announce their 1200x800 tablet at $399 and $449 and seems to be one of the less expensive tablets with leading specs (not sure if will have Qualcomm or Tegra processor).
I'm guessing TigerDirect, Amazon, NewEgg and others will carry their stuff, even if you don't see it in Best Buy or other stores.
Will the price be attractive enough to snag this vs. the competition?
I'm looking at the huawei s7 slim. 7" 800x400 1.2ghz snapdragon. Android 2.2 3g capable. Around the $300 price range
The pro version seems promising as well. Although for a heftier price tag.

With the hundred or so various tablets out I have no clue which one to get. I have watched so many reviews on various android tabs. I am pretty sure I want an android tablet vs an ipad or playbook.
Basically just wanted to hear from a few people who have recently purchased tablets and are happy with them. Looking for a WI-Fi only tablet I don't want to pay a monthly data fee. Anyways lemme know what you guys have and how you like it.
Also want to add it's just for home use web browsing some email ect..
If you want something more powerful you should wait till Q1 for the new 4core Tegra ones. Then we are talking opportunities ^^
And should have no problem with true 1080p movies, for what I've hear at least none of the existing ones can handle it.
Something to think on when you get bored with the web browsing

Thanks great idea... I wish there was a site just dedicated to tablets where I can see upcoming tabs ect.. I never realized there where tabs on this site until I scrolled through the huge list of devices on the main page... Thanks though Tax time here in 4 months would be an even better time to buy a tablet.
If you take a look at the specs, I just don't think you can beat the Acer A500.
LOVE IT !
Im also in the market for an Android tablet. Im going to wait for the quad core 10in with vanilla ice cream sandwich.
For the look right now the sony and samsung have the best design. I hope the next transformer will look better with the same price point

I haven't purechased a tablet, but I think I can still be helpful, as I work at a PC stor, selling tablets as well. So first of all, here are the tablets I've had in my heands and thoroughly tested:
1. Prestigio Multipad PMP7070C
Display: 7”, 800x480, capacitive
CPU: ARM Cortex A8 @ 1 GHz (Texas Instruments)
OS: Android™ 2.2 Froyo (Flash 10 Support)
Memory: 256MB DDR
Capacity: Flash 8GB
Communication: WiFi, Bluetooth
Others: HDMI, Camera, USB 2.0, G sensor
Cheap but not something I'd buy for myself. Bottom line - not worth the money!
2. Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101
NVIDIA® Tegra™ 2 1.0GHz dual-core CPU for excellent multitasking & HD video playback
Android 3.2 Honeycomb O.S. with Adobe® Flash® 10.2 support*2
Full QWERTY keyboard, touchpad input with Polaris® Office® for mobile productivity
16 hours long battery life for all day computing with mobile docking
Brilliant IPS panel with ultra-wide 178⁰ viewing angle made from scratch resistant and super tough glass
Nice tablet and really worth getting the keyboard as well - extends the battery life up to 16 hours (10 h w/o it). Tough Gorilla glass - deffinitely a good choice.
3. Acer Iconia A500(my personal favorite)
ACER ICONIA TAB A500
CPU: ARM Cortex-A9 1GHz
RAM: 1GB DDR2
Screen: WXGA (1280х800) Capacitive Multitouch
Internal Memory: 32GB Flash Memory
Wireless: Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n
OS: Android 3.2 HoneyComb
Ports: 3.5 mm audio, 1 x USB 2.0, 1 x micro USB, micro HDMI
Great performance, long lasting battery, Gorilla glass, USB port for the moments you just need to type faster If I ever buy a tablet, it will definitely be the Iconia A500.
4. IPAD2 - a very nice tablet, fast and smooth scrolling b/w screens, but with all due respect to Steve Jobs, I hate to be asked for my CC number every time I want to DL an app
5. Galaxy Tab 10.1 - a total knock off of IPAD2! Same design, same everything... By Apple's example, they even removed the memory card slots! Once you get the tablet, you are stuck with whatever you bought! No memory extension, no communication ports - just a WiFi and a 3G! Big NO NO!
6. Motorola XOOM - even though it has the same HW as Iconia and EEE Pad Transformer, in real life it doesn't perform as well as these two. Screen is not sensitive at all and the tablet works somehow slower.
Hope I've been of some help. Cheers.

Blasphemy, but I would actually get him the iPad2 wifi only edition which iirc goes for 399 now that the iPad3 is out. The kids love the Apple stuff and all their friends have apple, etc etc. There is a South Park episode called the Human CentiPad which speaks to this issue.

I must say , if your kid play games alot , this tablet will be for him . It wouldn't be that bad . Running games such as 'Temple Run ' will be as of no lags for him . C:
i do have an Ipad 2 but now theres a war over it as that was bought for the elder one. so just to peace things , i want something but worth for the second.
games liked by kiddo are temple run( i too like it , angry birds , all action arcade games
thats why was wondering if hcl can handle it
@sky plz check iball slide too and let me know . will be obliged
@Kratos , it is another tablet similar , but it's better . Because this processor can play games even better than that processor . I think you should buy iBall Slide .

These two are the base sub-$120 dollar models with resistive screens. There's tons of user forums and stuff for them and they run n64, ps1, all emulators and android games and they both come with a cortex a8 and 1 year old hardware.
There's an awesome $200 version of both of these that have capactivite screens. I'm 24 and if I had kids that played video games I would definitely introduce them into this field. There's a modding community for both devices if you want to stick with android.
thanks mate, it looks like a psp and i already have one

that one has a capacitive screen, supports ics and has all the bells and whistles of the higher end chinese tabs. performance is similar to the galaxy s.
If you have a decent budget to work with and it seems like you do, I recommend the newest galaxy tablet or pretty much anything with a samsung screen
guys made up my mind for lenovo a1 16gb
whats ur take on this tab?
I just have ordered a Tablet PC, but not pay it yet. because it is 7 Inch Capacitive Screen Android 4.0 and only $79.5 , free shipping
I do not know whether it's worth!
looking forward more ideas!

Mali 400 is very good GPU in this GPU you can run most games!
And CPU A13 1GHz is too very good for this price! You can in this tablet watch fullHD movies and i think web browsing in for example Opera Mobile would be nice
I've got one of these similar devices. Trust me, they might sound good, but they fall apart if you plan to use it extensively. Mine randomly doesn't install apps for some reason, I have to install apps 3 - 5 times before they will install correctly. Pathetic.
The deal-breaker would be 512Mb RAM and 4GB Storage. If there's no expendable storage, you shouldn't buy.
by the way, check this one out

Hmmmmm..the other specs seems too good for the price..but..the resolution seems tooooo low for a tablet. 480x800 looks good on only smartphones. It will look ugly on a 7 inch tablet

Tablet would be a good for development to test your apps. Not sure about daily usage though, might be a little janky......
That tablet sucks.
Cheapest tablet for the money is the Ainol Aurora. Anything cheaper will disappoint.

thanks, everyone!
this is one of the many models of the Chinese market. a 2-fold lower price it's a gimmick. Look on the characteristics of the tablet is mnogo.protsessor A13 is the cheapest right now.
There are a bunch of different models of the ICOO D50.
You have to read the specifications very carefully.
The one with 1024 x 600, HDMI out and 8 GB doesn't look bad.

it depends on how you use it,don't expect it can work like ipad.
however the price is not good for this chinese tablet, maybe you can add a little to get a refurb. nook
good luck
here is a video of the tablet.... looks pretty good to me. main thing i worry about is the battery life.... 2600 ma.
