EDIT - My mistake. Delete.

the screen size of both tablets are 10.1 but Xoom screen looks bigger. I guess that it is the advantage of 16:10 vs 16:9.

You can clearly see the viewing angle difference there.

[Q] original Xoom still worth it?

I'm looking for a tablet to play around with and I'd like 10 inch over 7 - wife has a Kindle Fire that I don't mind using but is a little too small.
I am potentially looking at a 32gb wifi Xoom for $200 through craigslist. The price is right, obviously.
Would anybody NOT recommend the Xoom for 200 bucks?

Take it, dont hesitate certainly worth 200 you wont regret it

Yes, what he said.

ooooh yes ! Mine is running the stock ICS ROM. I tried a few new ICS quadcore devices in some shops, the last one was an Acer A510, and compared to my Xoom none was as smooth as mine !!! The A510 was horribly laggy !!!
The prime was equal in fluidity compared to my Xoom but knowing the GPS / WIFI issues on it I prefer my Xoom ...
I know quadcores are better for gaming but I don't play. They are also better to display 1080p videos but these files are so big in size, and to display 1080p on a 1280 x 800 display is absolutly useless !
So I will wait for one or two more Android tablet generations before changing mine.

Don't let it go. Get it. Xoom is my favourite amongst all. Worth the price.

The Xoom is great tablet to consider.

I've got an ipad and plain vanilla xoom blows it away Imo... Now with honey comb things were closer but with ics, hands down I pick up my xoom over the ipad for almost every chore...
Now that I'm rooted and overclocked a tad its like this tablet is still at the top..
Fwiw you can get a brand new one on ebay for about 300 or so..
Sent from my Xoom using XDA

I got mine on ebay for $217. Most were still selling over $300. IF you can get one for only $200, get it before someone else beats you to it.

dont miss this - i also still prefer the xoom over any other tablet at this point - buy now

I traded my galaxy tab 10.1 for a Motorola Xoom LTE and I have never been happier. Id take that sucker if i were you for 200 dollars.

Best 1st Gen tablet. And probably still the best overall. All the hardware works as it should battery is fantastic.

There certainly are better tablets now but the xoom is well supported by developers. Makes it a great choice for those that hack a bit.

My question is-what better tablets? Transformer Prime looks great on paper but with so many screaming about this and that not working, screen bleed, etc...it's not a prize, lol. What else is there right now, that can touch the OG Xoom in overall goodness? The Transformer Infinity Tab looks interesting, and the upcoming Google tab may be good too. But they are not available yet.

How about the Xoom family edition is it worth getting did it get upgraded to ics

NO Get the REGULAR XOOM Do NOT and I repeat NOT Get The Family Edition think of it as a Kids Version of the Xoom which is way harder to mod.

New Nexus if your looking for a smaller device. First device to have Jelly Bean 4.1 and you'll get good software updates by going with a Nexus device.

One thing you might consider is the weight and size of the 10.4 inch tablets. I have an Acer, I really like it but it's heavy. Not bad for around the home but I wouldn't want to carry it everywhere. A 7 inch is much nicer for portability.
And as others have said, look at the new Nexus.

if you can find one the HP touchpad is very nice and cyanogenmod has it already hacked with dual booting.
Love it

Yeah the OP couldn't have asked that question at a better time. I agree with the above comment. Nexus 7 runs the faster jellybean 4.1. It'll get updated roms before other manufacturers. U may as well spend a few bucks more than one of those crappy Chinese imitations and get the nexus. It will be far better quality!

Definitely give the Nexus a look! If she will be using it for school then check out the HTC Flyer, it's about the same specs and uses a stylus that has great handwriting features!

Nexus 7 is a pretty sweet deal for the quality of device. Although if she is using it for school, it might be a good idea to look at the ASUS Transformer w/ keyboard for taking notes during class. Also, as was previously mentioned, the HTC Flyer has excellent handwriting support

Oh, And MS Surae RT or Pro is also nice.

Not everyone has the time & patience to do this. Plus this is for his daughter. If stuff happens & doesn't work It ruins the experience for her.

The Nexus 7 is the best 70inch tablet on the market and for an amazing price. You'll need to figure out if it's worth getting the 16GB or not.

Nexus 7, best tablet you can buy for $200

Thanks for the info guys
I managed to get a try of the nexus and it was really nice and worth every penny, I was almost going to part with my cash to get one and then I got chance to check out the super pad, for the price of £98 I was sceptical it would be any good but it was amazing, although a bit hard to use with finger touch it has no trouble with the pen and also came.with a keyboard and case, I would recommend it to anyone on a budget as long as u don'tmind using a pen
Thanks again for the advice

Android tablet?

Hi,
I want to buy android based tablet. I want to know which the best option in different android tablets is. I am using internet on my recent phone and I can’t get any speed. So I want an android tablet and like to use its different applications. Any suggestions?
Thanks

If you want a 10 inch tablet, get the Touchpad
If you want a 7 inch tablet, get the Nexus 7
Also, why is this here?

At first, I took the thread to mean "what tablet would be a good compliment to the One X". But the OP isn't really clear, and based on the fact its his first post here, he may have posted to the wrong place.
+1 to the Nexus 7. Great price point, has reviewed really well, and its selling really well, which means solid support from software developers, accessory manufacturers, etc. is assured. If I were going to buy a tablet right now, it would probably be the Nexus 7.
I do love my HTC Flyer tablet. Beautiful build quality, as you would expect from HTC. But it was overpriced at release at $499. Its also over a year old now, so its not really a current contender specs-wise. HTC has been laying low as far as the tablet market, since the Flyer and Jetstream didn't sell well. But a new HTC tablet is rumored.
What I did learn from the Flyer, is that I really like the 7" form factor. Larger 10" form factors are nice for some things, but 7" is a really great compromise of functionality and portability. Easy and comfortable to hold with one hand for long periods of time, and doesn't take up much room in a carry-on bag while traveling by air. I can even shove it in the pocket of most of my pants, as I move from room to room in my house.

Why do you say that? Just curious.
You get a solid dual core tablet and you can get it for new at around $170.
Its the cheapest 10 inch I've seen with great performance and a large dev community.

Hehe I maintained AOKP Nightlies for the Touchpad for a while, and let me just say that AOKP runs like a champ on it. So does CM9, and CM10 is about to be released (we've seen teasers and such).

Transformer infinity > anything mentioned in this thread . I got my HOX because of the screen and power why not a tablet that does so as well

Haha, hell yeah it does. But quick question, did AOKP drop us? Looks like we're no longer supported after Build 40?

The only thing that doesn't run yet on the Android side of the TouchPad is the front facing camera. Everything else is smooth.

If 10.1" screen is desired, I'd go for the Xoom (Wi-Fi edition) because we already got jelly bean yesterday and it's pretty much an honorary nexus device.

I hate to bash your tablet but the Xoom has the absolute worst screen I have ever seen on a tablet, which is the single most important part of a tablet. Not to mention it is big, bulky, and heavy. And it's old with outdated hardware.
Unfortunately, there aren't many decent Android tablets out there so as I said earlier the Nexus 7 is my recommendation. It's amazing, and the 7" form factor is the perfect size for portability. If you must go with a 10", then one of the ASUS Transformers is the best bet. The Prime, Infinity, or even the cheaper Tegra 3 one (I forget the name).

7 in Galaxy note

The perfect system for me would be a seven inch note. I have a Note 10.1 and love it but still find a need for the smaller footprint at work. I have a HTC View with a pen and use it with Lecture notes as my primary tool
Does anyone know if Samsung has ever discussed a 7 in Note?
BOB

for that get the note II its 5.5 inch so not much smaller than 7 in

Can't see them releasing anything between the 5.5 and 10.1 screens. On a personal level a note 14.1 would be perfect.... Full A4 sized screen mmmhh

You could try the tab 2!

I really don’t think 7 inch is necessary
it‘s too small for a tablet
especially for the note users.

I have a personal dislike towards 7 inch tablets - too big to be a phone too small to be a tablet. I'm really digging the Note 2's size tho.

I am personally quite fond of 7" tablets. It's the perfect size between usability and portability.

I would like a 7" galaxy note but for me now i have the galaxy note 10.1 and the 5.3 one and if they made 7" then i would not buy the 5.5 one and i would sell my 10.1. So in conclusion i think if they made a 7" galaxy note it would be bad for the 5.5 one
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app

I really liked the Samsung 8.9 inch tablet--just the ideal size and weight for me--and would have gotten it if not for the many poor reviews. If there's a 8.9 inch note, I would be really interested!

Have you ever tried taking serious notes on a 7 inch screen? Too small. You need that 10 inches to really take notes.
