the transformer it's the better one from those on the list, I think, but maybe the new ipad would be even better
The Asus Transformer line of tablets are really the tablets to beat on the Android side. The iPad 2 is good pick if you're well invested in the iOs ecosystem and things like animation and general UI smoothness are well done, but it's much more lockdown than Android.

Transformer!
I would highly recommend any of the ASUS transformer tablets because ASUS is an excellent company/brand in all products that they make and they truly deliver on their tablets as well.
I personally prefer Android because you can do pretty much anything with it! iOS is meant to "just work", however that means you're VERY limited in what actually can work.
Generally with Android, if you can think it, you can do it (and as cheesy as it sounds, there's usually "an app for that" to make it easier).
Thanks guys. But now I need to decide on a PC.
Asus amd athlon II X2 processor essentio computer
Lenovo pentium processor ideacentre
Asus tablets are great, but they all lack the 3G option. Wifi only isn't much of a use when you plan to use your table on the move and everywhere. Consider this before you make your choice...
As for a pc, I wouldn't choose AMD even if it was the only choice.... More than ten years now in computer support, I have seen many ugly sights of AMD machines...
Lately it seems to work best Pentium processors, AMD seems to be running a little behind

I would get the Asus in a heartbeat. The docking station alone make it worth it.
I've used iOS for years on iPhone and iPad and I would not going back there.
But that's just me
Tranformer pad is a good option but the new transformer line with 1080p screens is releasing soon so it may be worth holding out for a bit
Hi I'm also looking for a tablet,
the Asus transformer prime looks pretty good but it has no 3g right ?
Take Ipad 2, much better than android

I've had hands on with my friend's Asus and I was really impressed. Nothing bad to say about it and they resisted the temptation of screwing with the OS which is always nice.
...Asus Transformer (Infinity)! FTW!
I would take the iPad 2. I just think that iOs is, for now, better with tablets than android. But on android, Transformer is the best.
Motorola xoom or galaxy tab

I am looking to buy my first tablet and I cant decide which to get.
Which is the best tablet? I cant afford both and I don't want to buy one to find out that the other is the better tablet.
I think I would use a tablet mostly for web browsing, ebook reading, and gaming.
This is like comparing apples to oranges. In this case, you're comparing a rotten apple to a rotten orange. Both choices you mentioned are complete trash.
Get an Acer Iconia A500.
Well if you google it, you can find a plethora of reviews pitching these two against each other.
As i haven't had hands on with a Tab, i bought my mother in law an iPad 1.
I personally would go with the Tab(Flash, custom roms, openess, HD)
Ipad is nice but it is too much like every other Apple device.
And for me, after years of Android use i can't turn back.

Im using iPad 2 and am a happy user. Plus, im using Samsung Galaxy S2, so basically I have the best of both worlds....
I played with the Tab a little at Best Buy and I loved it!!! Now I just got to get my hands on a Asus Eee Pad Transformer and see how I like it.
Personally, I think it depends on what you are going to do with it and what you are comfortable with. FWIW I went Asus Transformer. Best decision I ever made. My motivation was to use it as a business device while out of the office with my full desktop in the office. Works perfectly. Android i think is a bit quirky but I am used to quirky but i have a lot of hope for the unification that will come with Ice Cream Sammich and well with all the custom Roms and fantastic developers here how can you go wrong with a Droid Device.
My vote Asus Transformer.

I had not heard of the Asus Eee Pad Transformer before. I like what I am seeing about it though.
How long does your battery hold up with regular usage?
Where is the cheapest place to buy one?
I have had both (Currently an iPad 2) and honestly, they are both amazing tablets. For gaming, the iPad 2 is superior, but for news and customization the Tab is slightly better. Feel free to ask me any questions!
I love the iPad (call me biased, but iOS 5 is REALLY nice ), but if you buy an Android Tab, here's $100 off!

I myself would get the galaxy tab, for the ability to root flash custom roms etc etc, but if you have no desire to do these, I would go with the I pad. The Acer iconia or motor xoom would be superior to both because of the ten inch screen,honeycomb, and dual core processor.
P.S. if this helped anyone please press the thanks button

Asus Transformer sounds good...
Although I do own an iPad 2, I have found myself bored to death with it! The homescreen is not the least bit customizable, all the web browsers run off the same WebKit/WebView, and honestly Apple is old news.
Does anybody have any recommendations for a good Android Tablet? If I have to, I'd GLADLY wait for an Ice Cream Sandwich tablet - but if there are any "great" android tablets on the market now I may just go ahead and purchase it.
I currently own a Samsung Galaxy S II, and absolutely love it. I looked at the Galaxy Tab 10.1, and it seemed to be pretty nice. The 16GB version was only $350 (used, but like new) on Amazon. The design of the Tab 10.1 looks GREAT - much better screen size than the iPad 2 (it's more rectangular shaped).
The things I dislike about the Tab 10.1: It may not get an official ICS, my phone is more powerful than it, and it does not have a SAMOLD+ screen (do any tablets?).
So yeah, does anybody know of any good android tablets? Any suggestions, comments, and tips are very welcomed!
i have a motorola xoom, and i have to say i don't like it. the themes, buttons and navigation suxs. its heavy and has a clunky feel. its also slow at going through menus/web. i honestly though it would be good after having a galaxy, but i don't recommend it, i wouldn't mind trying samsung tablet.

This is what I'm probably going to get. The Tab 10.1 does look very sexy and attractive, though. I seen one used on Amazon for $320 but it's gone now. Wish I had gotten it, because I could had at least made a little profit off it on Ebay if I decided not to keep it.

This. I'm waiting for it to come out. It might be my first tablet purchase.
I'm looking to get an android tablet and I've narrowed it down to 3. Asus transformer, Acer iconia a500 or Motorola xoom I've chose these 3 as they are fairly cheap and look set to get much cheaper as new tablets come out. The only problem I have is all reviews I read are heavily biased towards an ipad2. I would like some honest opinions from people who have actually used the devices, rooted them installed custom roms and also what apps are like running as I've read apps don't all work at full screen on 10" screens.
Cheers in advance for any advice.

The Asus Transformer Prime has the best stats, but I think you're referring to the eeePad Transformer in your list (which IMHO looks like crap from the reviews I've read).
From the 3 you listed, I'd go with the Xoom. But seriously, why not just save for a couple more months and get the Asus Transformer Prime. You'll thank yourself later!
Did look at them and they look nice but its not a matter of saving I just don't want to spend that much on what is really just a toy for me (can't see it replacing my PC). What I'm more concerned with is the report I read that a lot of apps don't scale up to the big screen. Is this true or was it just another apple fanboy slagging of anything non apple.

The whole belief that honeycomb is unfriendly to apps total BS. I have had a Transformer since April and have rooted it and am running Revolver rom and even before i rooted it it was extremely slick. The home screen isn't very good but install ADW EX and you get the best homescreen experience ever. I have over 100 apps on mine and they all work great and look beautiful. You will, of coarse, find some that aren't that great but that happens everywhere.
Now as a transformer owner i can honestly recommend any android tablet to someone ( Who actually knows abut android) and you will enjoy it. I would suggest you get the Prime though because it's much better and you get more for your money. Asus is really great with updates so you shouldn't have to root it for a while
Also also on it being a toy, it can totally replace you destop, you can get the keyboard dock when you want and make it a full on ultrabook
The transformer is my favourite so far in my opinion it looks nice. I love android so its nice to know it runs nice. Thanks for letting me know about the apps it was my main concern. Now which one to chose? Hmmm.....

If you are going for first generation tablets the transformer is the way to go but with CES this week you should wait to see what comes out of there
One thing I forgot to ask if I replace my PC can I still perform adb functions for my phone or do I still need windows.

I have a galaxy tab 10.1 and I really like it. My wife has an ipad2 and here is my take on these things. The galaxy tab is every bit as good as the ipad in many areas. internet browsing, email, etc. Where it falls behind the ipad is the apps.
My wife has Hbogo on her's, but I cant get it on mine. My wife has directv app which can watch some live tv, my same directv app doesn't have this feature. There are some great apps for the android tablets, but not nearly as many as the ipad2. The android apps don't seem to get all the attention as the ipad's.
I still like my tab a lot and I am hoping the apps will catch up.
I've owned a Xoom, Galaxy Tab 10.1, and the original Transformer.
If I had to choose between those three I think I would pick the original Transformer by Asus. Best experience I had out of the box.
Galaxy tab 10.1 was a very close second.
Now it is all about the Transformer Prime for me though. All I have to do is find one for sale.
HP Touchpad
kidding....but honestly if you can find one for ~$100 it can be quite possibly the best tablet available. Android is quite stable, even though currently its running gingerbread.
But I would wait, like someone said above CES is right around the corner, and who knows, ASUS could be like Sony and drop the price on the prime by $100. But if you are really set on a tablet now, do you really want something that is over a year old.
I would also consider that you take a look at the Tablet S with their recent price drop.
HP TouchPad
Not kidding.
Seriously, take a look at the forum for them, CM7 is coming along, CM9/ICS is progressing, and webOS is solid. At least consider it. 1.2GHz dual core, 1GB RAM, 10" screen, wireless charging dock available. The TouchPad had sold more units than any android tablet. The iPad is the only tablet that sold more units period. The cheaper than dirt price helped, but all those units out there mean there is a large userbase, and plenty of support.

Hi all
Just after a few opinions on which tablet to buy.
I am looking at the TF300T, TF201 and the Acer A510. Anyone got any opinions on which one is best value for money?
I was drawn to the prime originally but the GPS and wifi issues put me off. I then got drawn to the cheaper transformer pad but have been reading that the Acer A510 is a better performer and has better battery life (for the tablet to tablet comparison anyway).
Can't make my mind up!
I am also wandering if its worth waiting a couple of weeks to see what is announced at Google I/O, nexus tablet maybe?
I would definitely wait and see what the Nexus Tab's specs and price are, but even if they are nice they won't compare to either of the tablets you're considering. Also IMO the TF300 is better in almost every way once you add the dock, most likely the battery comparisons you've heard have been just the TF300 v.s the Acer A510 but that doesn't factor in the TF300's keyboard dock battery. With the battery it slaughters the A510, and you wont find a productivity option this good anywhere else. Also having the dock add not only a battery and physical keyboard but it adds a full-size SD card slot and a full-size USB 2.0. I may be a bit biased but as long as you are planning on buying the keyboard dock with the TF300 its a no-brainer.
I would recommend the TF300 if you need a tablet soon. If not and you can afford it you might want to wait for the TF700. At one point I considered the Acer A510 also until I heard about the heat issues. I currently have 2 TF300's, one perfect 32gb, and a 16gb currently at Asus being repaired. And for my smaller tablet I have a Galaxy Tab 7.7. As far as 10" tablets currently available the TF300 is the way to go IMO.
Thanks for the replies.
In the UK you cant get the TF300 without the dock, at least not from a shop anyway!! You can import one or use a shady online e-tailer.
My problem is that I am getting fed-up of waiting. I have been lusting over an android tablet for months.
I think I may well have to wait and see what the nexus tablet is. i'm probably not interested if it is only a 7" version. Really want a 10" tablet myself.
I have a nexus S for my phone and definitely prefer the stock android experience and the very active development scene that goes with the Nexus line of devices.
May still end up giving in and buying a TF300 though!
Thanks all.

believe me, the TF300's Stock OS is as close to stock android as I've seen on a tablet for awhile, and if you're worried about it becoming outdated, this thing has top of the line specs and will last you for a good long while.
problem for you and me is there is always a better tablet coming in six months.. I bought the TF300 and like it so far. I love having the dock because I use pocket cloud remote desktop alot.
Unfortunalty I know I want a windows tablet when they become available and will prolly buy one too.. If you can wait then prolly when the one comes out you want now there will be a release for a new one and you will tell yourself, should I wait for THAT one?
Get the TF300 its nice.. If i wasnt using a dock though i would do the ipad. I like the screen format better for tablet use..
Just got home from work to find a check from the tax man for £430 so guess I'm gonna spend it on the TF300T then! Thanks everyone for your opinions.

You can't go wrong with the tf300, I just got mine last week and I love it. My brother has the tf101 and the 300 blows it out of the water. My wife has the 7in galaxy tab 2 and it is a great tablet,some of the best speakers of any tablet I've seen, but I like the larger screen. Before I made the plunge to a larger tablet, I had a nook tablet that I heavily modified and put ics on it, a great affordable beginners device.
The 300 is such an awesome device, my only complaint is that I didn't get one sooner.

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

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.
