Tablet help

Hey guys, I need your help picking a tablet out, I don't have much experience but I know I really want ons. My choices are the new Samsung gravity, the xoom, ipad2, ascus, or anything that's good!
Is there anyway around the iPad not having flash... Thanks for your feedback
Ps the tablet is mainly going to be used for fun

HP sold the TouchPad for 99 Euro in their Webshop on Monday. Unfortunately I saw it too late and didn't get one.

Do you mean the Samsung Galaxy Tab or the 10.1 version, and Asus transformer?

Yeah I meant 10.1 and the transformer, thanks for catching

[Q] Tablet Pricing & Help.

Christmas is this week and where I live there's very few choices on tablets THAT I KNOW OF!
I need a bunch of suggestions for CHEAP tablets. Tablets that last a while.
Tablets I've looked at:
- Amazon Kindle Android
- Nook
- Cruz Android Tablet[Sucked]
- Samsung Galaxy Tab
My budget is $200, I've got to make a good choice because I turn 21 next year and my parents have threatened to stop buying gifts for me.
Thanks.

Moving to Q&A

If u have a little more cash u can buy a better tab like the Asus transformer. The kindle is a great choice for a low end tab. I would stick with the kindle and I am not so sure u can get the galaxy tab for $200. Merry Christmas and don't forget to hit the thanks button if I helped.

With a $200 budget you could look into an HP Touchpad on Craig's List. Ships with WebOS, and it's super easy to intall Android in a dual boot configuration.
I got mine for $175.

Sounds like it'd be worth a look at. I've got $50 and my parents are willing to sport me a few hundred.
I looked at the Transformer and it's WAY too much out of my price range. I'm wanting a device that has FULL DEV SUPPORT.

The thing I was curious about with the Touchpad was could I install any other ROM except CM7 I personally strongly dislike the CyanogenMod ROMs myself

I haven't seen any other Android ROMs aside from CM7. But, I love CM7 so I haven't really looked for anything else.

I've been told that you can just about load ANY ROM on the Touch Pad

Any ROM that's based on CM7, all 2 of them.
TouchPad? Awesome. Buggy gingerbread on a 10" screen? Meh. I think webOS is better than 2.3 on a tablet. When ICS is finished the TouchPad, that's a show stopper.
For $200 you can't beat the TouchPad. I looked at getting a Kindle Fire, Nook Tablet of Color, or Vizio vtab, and came to the conclusion after using all of them the Kindle fire was the best value and smoothest experience, but pales in comparison to webOS on the TouchPad.

Buying an android tablet.

I first had in mind to get the Infinity, but with its I/O bug, I have to reconsider. What tablet can you recommend that isn't a transformer or even an Asus at all? NOT Nexus 7.

Did you check out the Samsung galaxy tab?

yeah, all of them, but the specs didn't interest me the least, to be honest.

Oh OK. Idk man, the N7 is a great tablet minus the missing SD card slot

Galaxsy Tab is good try it :good:

You've ruled out Samsung, Asus, and the N7 (which is Asus, but significantly different than their other offerings). What's left, Acer? The newest Acer tab got a poor review on the Verge. Just don't get an Android tablet if those are really what you're going to rule out.
Edit: Toshiba excite? Only other new android tablet is can think of.

I've replaced the order for the Asus Inifinty. It's the only tab that speaks to me (not literally)

Excite 7.7 has been on my wishlist. amoled, tegra 3, etc, etc. Disadvantage is that, as far as I can tell, the dev community is nonexistent.

Tablet.

Can anyone from this forum tell me what would be a good tablet to go with my skyrocket ? Any and all suggestions !

Uh, you have to be more specific. What do you want to do with the tablet? Are you an Apple person, or an Android person? 7'? 8.9"? 10"?

you can try the galaxy note tablet

I'm looking for an android tablet. Either a 7" or 10". I was looking between the galaxy tabs 2 both in 7" and 10". Kinda read mixed reviews.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

I would YouTube galaxy2 tab vs galaxy note and use spec difference. My personal opinion the note would be my choice because galaxy tab can be hassle with fc even in basic stock. But you gotta find the difference there
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

I have a tab 2 10.1. It hasn't had any fc or problems. It also doesn't have very much dev support. It runs well for me, it's rooted, and I use it for watching movies and surfing the web.
Look into the note tablet and the nexus 7. Those are better tablets as far as specs go. They probably also have more dev support. Up to you though, the tab 2 works just fine for me.

I'm in Canada, so not much. It's actually $10 more than the Google Store, but I didn't want to wait any longer...

Just got myself a nexus 7. Can't give a review or anything as I haven't even unboxed it yet. Personally, I wanted the nexus 10 but its just not in my budget right now. Little brother has an account through newegg so settled for that. Same price as it is through the play store too.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda

I've had a nexus 7 for a few months now. I love it. The constant android os updates are a huge plus for me. There's pretty good dev support, too. For the price, I'm shocked at how much I like it.
There are a few bugs with the screen. Some users report a horizontal line of burnt pixels developing, and other users report blurry edges. My nexus 7 developed the horizontal line last week. I made a three minute phone call and a new nexus 7 arrived two days later. Not bad at all. I've read the screen issues have been fixed as of now.
Oh, it's also easy as heck to root and maintain. Rooting took me less than 10 minutes from start to finish.
Edit:
It depends if u really want a similar experience as the skyrocket. I imagine the Samsung tablets may be a good pick. I found the uber clean stock Android 4.2 system on the N7 was simple enough for me to bounce and forth between the skyrocket and not go bald or blind from stress.

Is this tablet not popular?

Seems to be not too much development going on except for couple ROMs here and there. Not trying to troll or anything, just wondering if my next tablet after this should be Samsung one if development is important to me.

Honestly I'm happy with the development and the hard work put into so far. It's waaaay more popular than my last device (G-Slate). We didn't even get a our own section of XDA. So no complaints here.

Perhaps it might also be said that Samsung themselves have managed to produce a pretty decent product, out of the box.

the device itself is good but not much popular................most people prefer ipads and remaining get divided between kindle fire and other available android tablets

Also, to get a Custom Rom that uses all the features of the S Pen would be extremely difficult - and what would be the point of our Tablet without all those S Pentastic features???
