Since Samsung is still unclear on what specs the 10.1 3g tablet will ship with, I have become torn on which tablet to get.
I really like the HDMI out, SD Port, HD video recording, Android 3.0, and the dual core cpu with 1 gig of ram.
What tablets are my options?
I've been looking at the transformer and the 10.1 Galaxy, are there any other competitors?
Your thoughts?
Check out the Asus EEE Transformer 400 bucks and wow......... nice unit worth a look

I think i'll be selling my TF by christmas and investing in the new Toshiba AT200.
Looks awsome.

Until they've got something to market, it still doesn't make a difference. It might look nice, but it also makes no mention of the connectivity, which is one reason the Transformer was so much better IMHO. Good luck though. Personally, I'd just wait until the next best thing after that comes out.
Why this when the Transformer 2 will be releasing this October?
This thing is no match for the TF2.

if this is Toshiba's apology for the thrive, I'll be picking it up in a heart beat.
Remember that is still a Toshiba... Hardware specs mean nothing without software that is up to date and supported. Toshiba is phenomenal at manufacturing components... Once they put them all together things don't go so well :-(

I still see little reason to consider this, especially if you already have a Transformer......Even more so if you have the DOCK (such as I do). I'm sure it'll be nice, but I get the feeling Toshiba will be similar to Viewsonic....they put out the hardware, and don't bother updating the software, as others have posted.
I think it really comes down to 1 thing. Everyone seems to want the same thing in the end...A Samsung Galaxy Tablet(thin, light, and well made), with the connectivity of the Transformer. If someone could do that, they would have a truly winning product for every consumer.
Connectivity usually refers to wireless communications.
Expandability is what the Transformer has - and why I chose it (along with the price). That Toshiba looks pretty nice, but without the cool functionality of the TF's dock, I see no reason to switch it up.

Agreed, "looks" awesome. But what do you get? A thinner tablet that will surely be inferior to T2 at a much higher price point. Seems a dubious switch to me.
I want to see what the Padfone looks like before I seriously consider swapping out my T1
No dock? No interest.
All your doing is exchanging one honeycomb tablet for another.
'7.7mm thin' WOW! means absolutely nothing

"Inferior" because dual-core and not quad-core? Core count is a relative measure, just like clock speed. Its all the other that really makes the difference: graphics engine, video engine, frame buffer, cache, memory management, internal bus, power consumption and management etc.
For me good multimedia support on a pad is essential, and that means video support. I knew I couldn't expect top-notch hardware assisted video decoding from the Tegra family (read Boxee story) but what Tegra 2 offers is pathetic. Congrats nVidia for such a deception and effectively keeping it a hush hush secret! I don't care if Tegra 3/4/5 is advertised as "full" 1080p decoding support, such were the words for their current chips.
This doesn't immediately mean that OMAP processors are better at hardware video decoding just because TI says so. Real life will tell. But the good point is that alternative hardware exists.
The AT200 is sure more appetizing to my taste than the future Tegra 3 based pads.
Tegra 2 can play 1080p. They never said that they will support every encoding settings on these planet...
But what was the alternative? A Galaxy Tab 7.7 with a single core A8-CPU or an iPad 2 with a 4:3 Screen and a lower DPI.
I love my Transformer but hate the limited video decoding performance of Tegra 2. But in may there was no other Tablet with another SoC for me with the same specs - 16:9(10), DualCore, 10,1" and real Tablet-OS.
Tegra 3 will have no limitations with video decoding. nVidia showed a 1440p (2560x1440) video with 40Mbit/s at MWC in Barcelona.

Of course I wasn't referring to extreme encoding. You can yourself create baseline L3.1 AVC encodings that _will not_ play.
nVidia itself lists almost every known compression under "Video 1080p decode"... (http://www.nvidia.com/object/tegra-2.html) but as you correctly observed does not specify anywhere the limitations.

In a few months there will be so many great Tablets with different SoCs.
Why in the hell do I care about another tablet. When I come to the TRANSFORMER forum I shouldn't have to search through this garbage in order to find info about the TRANSFORMER! Enough already!
I use the Toshiba AT-200 since 3 weeks now.
Works great.
I have just 3 questions :
1) I got sometimes some blinking of the "Date/Time/Wifi/... config panel" (the window that appears normaly when you click on the time on the bottom right of the screen) : Very annoying !
The only way i found to calm down the blinking is to Lock&delock the screen... (via the physical power button)
2) Android 3.2 is proposed natively by Toshiba. Is there a Android 4 version in developement ?
3) Am i in the right thread ? ;o)
Thanks in advance for your answers.
I can find no mention anywhere of the audio chip used on the TF300. Is it a Wolfson DAC, Yamaha DAC or is it integrated into the Tegra 3?
Does anyone know?
There doesn't seem to be information anywhere about the audio capabilities of this tablet. The TF101 had a Wolfson DAC. Easy to find info. So what's up with the TF300?
I'm also curious about this. I've been looking for info on that and trying to find a disassembly guide. (Not for taking it apart but for actually satisfying my curiosity so that i won't take it apart...)
I believe the DAC is a part of the Tegra 3.
When initially Mediapad FHD was announced, most of us said well it's Huawei. Bad reputation company... But with so many QC issue ASUS is having, I am start thinking ASUS is as good/bad as Huawei (well I actually never tried Huawei so maybe I should not say this..).
As far as the specification on paper, this unit could be equal or perhaps even superior to the Infinity.

The key specification here is CPU/GPU. Despite slower CPU clock speed it has better GPU (at least core # wise). This is like Exynos chip that Samsung has. Simply looking at New Ipad its CPU is mere 1GHz Dual Core, but GPU is where its power is. If you look at Benchmarks Android tablet beats CPU power but GPU power is far inferior. Exynos chip on SIII and Galaxy Note 10.1 comes the closest but yet far away. But considering how stable Galaxy Note 10.1 is (even on ICS), the stability must be coming from the memory (2GB) or GPU or maybe Nand (perhaps combination of all). So if mediapad does it right, it may function better overall than the Infinity, which definitely has some bottle neck somewhere.
I am not saying the MediaPad FHD would for sure be superior, but as Infinity having so many issues, giving a try on MediaPad FHD might not be a bad idea.
*Too bad MediaPad FHD gave up on 2GB memory as originally planned.
No because:
1. Huawei doesn't get dev support, ASUS gets some.
2. 1.2 ghz vs 1.7 ghz
3. 1 GB of RAM is the same
3. Not IPS+
Yes because:
1. Questionably better quality control

#1 is probably big on tech savy people which I guess majority of people on XDA.
#2, again I don't know much importance. Exynos on Galaxy Note 10.1 is 1.4 GHz but essentially equivalent Atuntu score and actually overall more smooth/stable than the Infinity (when infinity is performing at its peak with tweaks, I think it can match but not consistent and definitely not for everyone)
#3, I don't know why Huawei dropped this... It originally had 2GB RAM
#4. Hmm... Even with IPS+ under the direct sunlight I still had difficulty seeing and inside, I don't need IPS+, so for me IPS+ was never needed option.
Now for QC, never knows but with current QC track record of ASUS I am seeing, I cannot imagine any company could be much worse than that.
I think key Yes. here (Potential) is "16 core GPU."
But again who knows... I'm just throwing this here because I really want to have FHD tablet.... but cannot go back to Infinity until the ANR after ANR issue gets solved..
P.S. I never found Keion that interesting... but I know it is extremely highly rated anime.

H-how dare you insult my favorite anime!
Joking aside, the main reason for instability on the infinity are the FHD screen (which the mediapad shares) and the IO issues (which the mediapad does not have).
Also wanted to add the infinity has a 12(+?) core GPU.

I hope fhd is not the issue but it could be... if so, until next generation cpu gpu combo comes, the issue will not be solved.. infinity has 12 gpu cores and note has 16. So gl benchmark of note is the best of all android tablets still behind new iPad.
I liked bakemonogatari though.

Not buying cheap chinese knockoff. Almost no Chinese company I knows of has the ability to perform effective QC like the Taiwanese/Japanese/American companies do.
The closest one I can think of is Lenovo and their line of computers are still a long way from the old Thinkpads of yore (the corporations who stopped using thinkpads are a clear indication of that).
Funny considering that all iPhones and iPads are made by a Chinese company.
Huawei is fast becoming one of the largest telecom companies in the world.

There's a difference between manufacturing and quality control.
Well Huawei, is still quite unknown, but the latest phones were not that bad.
I just don't understand why they wait so long to release their products. For example the new quad phone was announced for April? and still nothing. Now they have to fight against s3,hox and soon Note 2 and I phone 5,which is pretty hard.
For the pad is the same. Against note 10.1, tf700 and "new", ipad-I don't really so a chance. Well prove me wrong.
Nevertheless I will take a look at it, just to compare.

True. But with its reputation, only way huawei can prove is when compared to more known brand. Otherwise, most would simply dismiss by saying but tf700 is coming soon... I really like fhd so hope either this or tf700 next update is the answer.
I'm thinking about the Mediapad FHD.
A combination of the lack of 3g support on the Infinity & Asus' stupid pricing in the UK means I will be looking at other options.
Actually, after returning my TF700 after a few days (freezing , light bleed, ands creen input Issues), I now think the way to go will be the new Microsoft Surface or some other Windows RT tablet , assuming they can get developers to create bunches of apps like Android and Apple (But I remember that app creation started off slow for both these platforms as well - Do you remember how few Ipda apps there were at the beginning) Hardwarewise it is a gamechanger. If you get a chance, watch the keynote video on it. I don't think QC will be an issue - I think it will be Applelike detail, but with a system that allows expandability via USB and sd, which is what I want, as well as that new keyboard. We are so close to release now that it would be a mistake to jump into another platform without at least seing what is released.
I really wanted to have Aius work for me but after 2 failed attempts (Prime and Infinity) I give up.

Windows 8 tablet is definitely interesting player. But based on the recent IFA Berlin, I feel like their target audience is slightly different. Here is why.
Windows 8 RT
This is more of direct competition to Android Tablet & iPad. But just as you mentioned, it will likely to take sometime before app market catches up with that of iPad or Android. Both had phone background so though they weren't initially optimized, they had enough application from get go. Whereas, Windows 8 the biggest advantage (could have been) was to use all Windows software poool, which RT does not allow and instead asking programmers to create Metro specific applications. So question is how long will it be? 6 months? 1 year? No RT tablet that is announced thus far have neither FHD screen nor inductive pen capabilities i.e. lacking main selling features of Infinity or Galaxy Note 10.
My guess is by the time the Metro market matures, there will be so many more RT tablet with cheaper prices, and of course better specs. So personally, RT is a pass.
Windows 8 Pro
Samsung Ativ Smart Pro actually have phenomenal spec with FHD, pen support, and support for all windows applications. However, its battery life is mere 5 hours DVD playtime (Infinity claims 9.5 hours and in my real life use I get only 5-6 hours, so who knows what 5 hours really become). The weight is quite heavy.
At this point, I feel like if Samsung really releases P10 Android Tablet, that would be the one but given such recent release of Galaxy Note 10.1, new tablet won't probably come for at least 6 months.
Certainly interesting time for tablet.
I bought the TF101 a long time ago, and after reading about the tf700, I've come to the conclusion that Nvidia Tegra sucks. I still can't watch movies at full frame rates on my TF101. Also the whole I/O problem really annoys me. However, software wise, Asus rules. Fantastic support for the tf101. Also, from what I read Tegra 4 may change things.
I bought a Huawei U8800 about the same time as the TF101. Hardware was pretty good, especially for the price. Software (especially OS optimization and updates) was terrible to say the least.
I'm not sure which tablet I want to buy. If Asus was using a different (read: better) processor than the Tegra 3, there would be no question. But I felt kinda burned on the Tegra 2 and the I/O situation. If the mediapad is significantly cheaper, I may go that route.
Also, I don't really use custom roms and dev stuff, so I don't factor that in. However, from my experience with the U8800, China has a huge dev community, and The XDA developers are aware of it and borrow from and work with them. So you will get some decent dev community support with Huawei, not as much as with Asus though.

Yeah, we were both right actually. It made sense for them to release an updated Transformer Infinity as I wanted, but two Intel Processors in the same device? That's insane that only a computer with a bunch of mad scientist like ASUS can pull off with a straight face lol.
Hopefully they fix the I/O issues, and might pick up the new Infinity, especially if it will be $499 for tablet and dock or $399 without the dock. I won't pull the trigger right away and will wait until people get their hands on the device and verify that the I/O has been resolved. Last chance for ASUS to impress me.

Cant see prices being that low.
I/O is crucial. Just would like a stock ASUS device to be good right out the box. If it's not I think it says alot.
SDBags et al have turned this current Infinity around from high specced rubbish to an excellent tablet up there with all the rest this generation including the nexus offering. However, if they cant do it on their own or atleast release something truly impressive I give up for them.
Sale prices for my tablet are about 400$ max so the trade up value would be another 200-300$ which I haven't got.
What I am interested in is the new Sony tab Z though
If they keep using sh*tty Hyenix eMMC I'm out. Cutting corners for pennies of Nand that cripples real-world performance is an idiotic design flaw and a reason why Asus can never aspire to be Apple.
My infinity was my primary computer device during exams last year and it failed miserably and wasted tens of hours of my time. Clean Rom Saved it but a tablet shouldn't need a rom to be made usable.
The dock of the new Infinity looks exactly like the TF700 dock. It has USB 3.0, though.
But as far as I know, USB is supported by the Tegra-chip itself, only the physical connector is in the dock.
So perhaps if we are really lucky we can reuse our old docks...

Was mentioned that there was 2x USB 3.0 ports. Also not sure but I know they said mini-HDMI, and mini-Displayport as well. Though never mentioned if one of those other connections where on the dock itself or the physical tablet.

I am quite excited about this new Infinity tablet, but ASUS seems to be cutting down on the cameras (5 MP on the back and 1.2 MP on the front). I know megapixels aren't everything, but it is really weird having only a 5 MP camera on your flagship device. I was expecting something like a Sony Exmor 13.1 MP sensor instead. I for once use the tablet to take photos, simply because it has a much better camera than my phone (HTC Sensation).
Hopefully the I/O is fixed in the new release. I had to sell my TF700 on craigslist cuz it was not really usable. Asides from amazing battery life and having a dock to top it off even more, the I/O lag made it hard to use and just not seem like it was worth the price.
I recently swapped to a Nexus 7 to toy around with until later this year to see what else is coming out. The Nexus 7 feels faster, which is really sad.

The price is $399 for the tablet alone, so don't expect extremely much (because it is actually too much)
Def dual boot. Did anyone notice the video location had Tapai, Tawaiin (ASUS Headquarters) and the parallel universe was the Android Day Scene on left and the Space needle from Seattle (Windows Headquarters) on the right?! Can't wait to see it!

The trio looks nice but it'll probably be $1200 or so. I am seriously looking at the atom win8 tabs in fact I have the envy x2 right now and it is far more usable then the infinity. when the quad core atom tabs come out this fall with win 8.1 it is going to be bad news for android and apple.
And the new Asus Infinity Tegra 4 2560x1600 1.9 Ghz 2 gb of ram would you buy it if they fix IO problems? I hear it was going to be 399 and 499 with dock lol!! and SDXC support also
I'm thinking of selling my Nexus 10 to buy the new Transformer Pad Infinity.
Do you guys think the change is worth it?
Asus really seems to be rolling out some hot sh***!
Look at this baby, the Asus AiO!
Now I really can't wait for my desktop to croak! LOL

Hard to say since nobody got his/her hands on one yet
But the specs look good. If you're looking for a tablet/dock combination the TF700 is the best on the market.
If they fixed the I/O bottleneck, the new Transformer could be a very interesting machine indeed.

Has anyone seen that they included a microSD slot like the Prime and the TF700? I just read that there is a SD card slot on the dock. I loved that they had both options on the Infinity. I could live without it, but it was nice being able to load up two 32 GB cards with TV shows and movies.
One thing that android needs is to be able to adjust the output of resolution on the HDMI output. I only have a 1080P display and I'm afraid that it is going to look weird at that resolution.

From the pictures on other sites it looks like the tablet has all the same items that the TF700 does. So the microSD, miniHDMI, audio and mic look to all be in a similar location.
