My buddy brought over his new shiney Infinity. I used it for a little while and for some reason couldn't really feel a difference in performance over my Prime. I thought when newer tablets are released they would at least perform better, no?
My wish is getting Android to run on the ipad 3.
It is basically the same device with a better screen. You won't see a performance gain until a new generation of chipsets drop and Jelly bean is available. I had some terrible WiFi performance issues that got on my last nerve and the infinity by all reports seems to have fixed those issues. That is why I'm upgrading

Actually, isn't the Tegra 3 clocked higher in the TF700 (I thought that I read that somewhere)? Plus, it has faster memory, so you *should* see a slight increase in performance. Unless that performance gain is negated by the extra pixels that it needs to push!

Currently, there is not much of difference in performance between the Prime and TF700 because there aren't many apps that can take full advantage of the higher resolution screen or the higher clock speed. I have owned Prime, TF300 and now Infinity and for me Infinity is definitely a complete product compared to its previous versions. Or maybe I should say that TF700 is the product that Prime should have been from day one (minus the HD screen off course).
I few GHz isn't going to make that much of a difference in real world performance since the screen is higher res. If you overclock the Prime, you can get the same clock speed as the Infinity fairly easily. Right now, must users are reporting a bottleneck in the I/O performance and is causing issues with the performance of the device. I doubt ASUS will address this issue for ICS and try to have it fixed in the Jelly Bean update. They have had the code longer than any other company and shares similar internals with the Nexus 7.

to provide some 'un scientific comparisions' ,, I have ASUS , Win PAD (x64) , TF201 (older model) and the newer Infinity Tf700t .....all 32GB models
for me (without any benchmarking ) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Tf700 = far far faster and 'cleaner' running in STD MODE ( withupdated firmwares ) to Tf20x models
Plus , I not much of a lover in them silly WA software company ( always been a UNIX geek) ,,,, so am forced to use ASUS windows tablet for work
but am loving the Infnity , with DOCK = max flexability when ROOTED ( not unlocked boot loader)
Hope this helps ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,cheers

Wifi performance or lack of is why I'm selling my Prime and purchased an Infinity. Particularly the weak range. I just ran a speed test several times on the Prime and Infinity outside on my deck. The Prime averages about 6mps. The Infinity averages about 25mps. I'm a happy camper now. As someone else in this thread mentioned, this is what the Prime should have been. EBay auction on my Prime ends tomorrow and l have a bidder, good riddance Prime.

I think that ASUS EEE Pad Transformer is good and if I want to buy tablet with Android OS, so I buy ASUS. But for now is iPad2 the best, I think.
Well, I don't know your budget and what you intend to use it for,
but I would certainly recommend a tablet with at least Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) and a Nvidia Tegra 2 processor.
The ASUS EEE Pad Transformer is one possible choice ... (as for the iPad2, it is a quality product but no thx).
So are u saying that the ASUS is the best android tablet out there ?

I'd reccomend you get the Asus EEE Transformer. It's running the same Tegra 2 chip that powers quite a few other android tablets and with the keyboard dock will give you 16 hours of battery life.
It's priced well too
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/2011/...eed: coolsmartphone/uJxV (Coolsmartphone.com)
Andypad Pro? Cheap with resonable specs. Don't know whether it will be supported on XDA but I hope it will be so Honeycomb gets ported to it.

i am also looks a good tablet , SAMSUNG OR SONY
SG10.1 or AT
The best android tablet out right now, is the ASUS EEE Pad Transformer or Samsung Galaxy 10.1. I'm also in the market for a tablet and from everyone I talk to, it come down between these two. From what I was told, if you want something similar to the Ipad, then go with the Galaxy Tab 10.1... but if you are going to be doing a lot of typing and want a hybrid tablet/laptop, go with the Transformer. I'm torn between the two.
At first I though the Transformer was the best tablet out there, 10hrs battery life and then a dock with another 6 hrs, but then you need to always carry the dock if you want to have the extra battery life but now I think the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the best one because the battery life is about 10hrs like the Transformer, yet it's lighter and if you dislike the Touchwiz ui then go with Transformer, but if you don't mind it at all, get the GT 10.1
...
just to have 10 post lool
sorry the spam
I would recomend that you get the motorola xoom. It has a fast tegra 2 dual core processor that can be overclocked to a blazing 1.7 ghz. It also has a good gpu that has been overclocked 33%. It has the new android 3.2 honeycomb os. It has 32 gb of internal storage at the price o of$500. With the new android 3.2 it also has a fully functioning sd card. The metal frame while heavier than others, gives it a good quality feel. The easily unlockable bootloader also makes modding easier. Do not go with the samsung galaxy tab as the 32 gig model costs $600, and it has no sdcard slot for external storage . The battery life on the xoom is good and i can usualy get about 11 - 12 hous out of it.The Eee pad transformer is good, but if you want a keyboard you can always use a blue tooth one or get the usb connection kit for a usb keyboard.
I hope this helps and if it does please hit the thanks button

Guy's, need advice on which Android tablet to go for. My sister will be picking this up in USA before she comes for a visit around second week of July.
Requirements
10" display
Running ICS or upgradable to ICS.
Stable operation with official ROM/updates.
Easily rootable (Installing custom ROMs is not a necessity)
Memory card slot absolute must.
USB OTG.
Able to play most of the common video formats
HDMI out either out of the box or through an inexpensive adapter
Good WiFi performance. 3G is not a requirement.
Budget is not a constraint (can go up to $800) as long as its worth it.
Was originally considering the Transformer Prime 64GB + Dock, but not too sure about it after all the GPS/WiFi problems I keep hearing about.
Other options that I am considering.
Asus Transformer TF300 32GB + Dock
Acer Iconia A510
Toshiba Excite 32GB
I am also interested in the Infinity Pad 700, but I don't think it will be available by the time sis comes home and it won't be available in my country anytime soon.
Guy's waiting for inputs on these tablets... Which one would be the best to go for?
Honestly I think the Galaxy tabs are the best, but from those choices, I would go with the Toshiba, it has minor problems from what I heard, not too bad. :thumbup:
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
I think the Galaxy Gab will do fine, just because it's Samsung, so it should be good.
The Toshiba should meet all requirements.
Sent from my U8150 using XDA
The main reason I am not going with the Galaxy Tabs is because they don't have storage expandability and secondly that none of them are upto date on hardware front.
If it can at least play videos from a high capacity USB stick without draining too much battery life, I would go with it.
The Toshiba is the all rounder for a power user. Samsungs are pretty not super functional, Acer are confused (tried something different and failed) and transformer is an expensive luxury (everything sold seperately)

From a purely Brand perspective, my preference order would be Asus, Samsung, Acer and last of all Toshiba. I wouldn't mind spending a premium if the product is worth it. As I mentioned my Original plan was to get Transformer Prime + Dock, but dropped that idea because of current issues with that tablet. been doing some research on the other tablets as well these are the issues I have been hearing
Transformer Prime - WiFi/GPS/Bluetooth reception issues. Stability issues with ICS.
Transformer Pad TF300 - ICS Stability/performance issues
Acer Iconia A510 - Overheats during gaming, Screen responsiveness issues.
Toshiba Excite 32GB - Poor battery life (< 8hrs), way costly compared to other 32GB Tegra 3 tablets.
I'd rank them as
Toshiba
Transformer Pad (either)
Galaxy Tab
Iconia
I stopped worrying about battery life,it's all in how you use your tablet. If you must game for long periods then the transformer makes sense. The prime has the best life.

So I was so mad that Need For Speed Most Wanted didn't work on the Tablet so I asked on Firemonkeys Support why and they told me this
Code:
Hi Rodolfo,
We apologize that we have not been able to support your device for launch.
Unfortunately there are some problems with the GPU drivers on the ASUS Transformer range that
ASUS and nVidia are aware of and working to release a firmware update to fix.
Once these issues have been corrected, your device should be able to download the game.

Nina.

Please, lame excuses.
All EA and Gameloft games work fine on the Infinity. They're just too lazy to change the compatibility list on Google Play. I'm running most of them, all without issues.
Imo, doesn't mean anything special. This tablet has some gaming performance problems with many games, not only NFSMW. Check Asphalt 7, The Dark Knight and Babel Rising 3D performance compared to let's say a Galaxy S3. Resolution may be a factor but gpu is weak even in those so hyped Tegra 3 games with choppy framerates (i have watched some Nexus 7 gaming videos, framerate doesn't seem to be different in some games)

Agreed. I have Asphalt 7 and TDKR.
S3 = perfect!
TF700 = Framerate lag. However, Asphalt 7 is bearable if you play with the keyboard or a controller (the lag is less noticeable like that, for me at least).
It's sad how such a high quality tablet with great specs performs so poorly. Hah, a smartphone can perform better than a tablet. Wow.
I'm not sure I could trust a statement like that unless it came from Asus or nvidia directly. Forward that directly to Tien or Gary and see what they say.

Hi Ned Flanders !
My ASUS TF700T are considered to be a "High-end" tablet. So when I got the chance to borrow a Padfone 2 I decided to pit them at each other. It's nothing scientific about this test at all, I'm just racing two tablets against each other as any geek would do during there free time.
One of my fears with the ASUS Padfone 2 was that the it would prove to be weak when used as a tablet. Instead my TF700T actually seems "laggy" compared with the Padfone 2
http://youtu.be/0iVX0LSA_sE
Over all the Padfone seems "snappier" and at one point my TF700T even hangs (at 3.30). Can this be the famous "I/O problem"?

To be honest, it would be weird if the tf700 outperformed the Padfone 2. Seriously, if you look at specs alone, padfone 2 is obviously the more powerful device: Snapdragon S4 Pro (the most powerful Android SoC currently available for purchase), 2 GB RAM (versus only 1 GB in the tf700), faster internal storage, etc... On top of that, the padfone 2 only has to drive HD screens (both the phone and the tablet) instead of full HD screen in our tablet. To sum up, padfone 2: superior hardware with less pixels to drive.
The tf700 was a high-end tablet one year ago, but not any more. If you are expecting the latest and greatest hardware, you should not get the tf700 in the first place. The correct answer should be either Sony Xperia Tablet Z (Snaprdagon S4 Pro) or soon-to-be-available Padfone Infinity with Snapdragon 600 (if you are not in the US), both Full HD tablets.
PadFone 2 It is FullHD 1920x1089 and tablet screen is 1920x1200

My guess would be no. It is ironic that phones always have better storage than tablets. Furthermore, Snapdragon SoCs have always been superior to Tegra with regards to connection, memory and storage controller, and I don't expect Snapdragon 600 to disappoint in this front.

don't think the storage controller has really any thing to do with the soc you use..
Asus just used a crappy one in the Infinity..
For example has the HTC One X(+) that is also a Tegra4 device has any problem with flash? I haven't heard anything about that from my brother that has that phone.
What the infinity has reminds my about the first SSD with the first generation controllers also there there where large hickups and that kind of problems, only when Intel came to the market with there first gen controller it was suddenly way better.
What we have in the infinity is nothing more then a controller that you also find in USB controllers that are really optimized for large sequential single threaded access. Not multi threaded small i/o

If you were looking to buy a tab today would you still buy the TF700? If not what would you buy?
And NO Apple anything is not on the menu for me, never, never, never

IT just depends on your wants and need. The Nexus10 out performs the TF700 but has limited storage, no USB port and no keyboard dock. Also, unless you are willing to unlock the performance stock will be not that great.

If that is about it then the TF700 would not be bad. In order to install custom ROMS you must unlock thus voiding ASUS factory warranty. The keyboard dock makes it SOOO much easier surfing the web and typing up things.

Nope.
I would no longer recomend this tablet. After the last update it has become very unstable, and I was never happy with the speed. Apps crash regularly (including system apps) and do not behave as expected. I would find a more stable device if I were starting over.
No deep sleep
The only reason I cant recommend this tablet is because it does not have a deep sleep function. Well it supposedly does but it never works since the first day i got it. I have made all the changes that have come through in suggestions and nothing works to correct this. It almost seems worse since 4.2.1 update but it was still bad before that.
Other then the no deep sleep I think its a great tablet.
Íf you're willing to unlock and install custom ROMs, there's no tablet in the market that will beat the TF700.
The Nexus 10 has a high resolution and is faster when comparing stock, but it has no MicroSD slot, no dock (and thus no USB, no extra battery, no extra SDslot..)...

Since the tf700 has a permanent issue with I/O bottleneck, it only can do so much. Imagine a custom rom/O/C kernel on the Nexus 10, definitely better than the tf700 in term of multitasking. Nexus 10 does have mini usb port which you can add a mini usb for a external sdcard. A wireless mini third party keyboard/mouse would be nice since the tf700 with dock is impossible to place on your lab (fliping over due to unbalance design, tablet is heavier than the keyboard). I would take the nexus 10 without hesitation.
Thanks for everyone's input, keep them coming.
Im still very curious on peoples thoughts about all the new tabs that are coming out withing a few months

The new tablet will no doubt surpass this tablet, however it will require you to wait, which might be worth it, or may not be. I personally am eager to see if ASUS releases a new transformer using a Tegra4 or a Snapdragon SoC, maybe even an intel. That would be awesome. And maybe better i/o performance because the i/o sucks but my tablet still runs great and with DATA2SD can solve the issue, mostly anyways.

Yes they do indeed. But I doubt I will ever get a touch screen tablet/laptop without a keyboard. I have experienced both typing and tapping and using a tablet to type things up is a pain. And I very much dislike having to carry around a bluetooth one. The keyboard dock makes it efficient and easy to carry around.

To me, the Nexus 10 is an inferior device. Simply because it has a fixed amount of storage. Cloud is useless when you leave the house, OTG adapters are pointless when you're trying to walk around with it or use public transport. With the TF700, I have two 64GB MicroSD's extra on top of the 64GB internal, an USB port that supports my 2TB flashdrive (the OTG adapter on the nexus just gives "Voltage too high" on any flashdrive.), 9 more hours of battery and a keyboard and trackpad that doesn't eat my battery even more. (which bluetooth, wifi and USB does.)
For all that, i'll wait the extra second it aparently takes for things to load. Besides, it's still a full 10 seconds faster than that snail of a GT2 10.1...
And, and this is my personal opinion; feel free to disagree, it's ugly as hell. Looks like a cheap plastic toy you buy at Toys 'R Us... At least the TF700 look sleek and modern (and scifi-y).

What are you on about? Mine always sits on my lap, with the dock, for a whole 6.5 hours a day minimum. It has never fallen over. Not even once. Either it's because I have the better balanced TF201 dock, or you just want an angle that physics doesn't allow.

Samsung "announced" the Tab 3 last week. But it will have a Dual core, 2gb RAM and *shudder* 1280x800. Which essentially makes it rubbish. All it has over the Tab 2 is 1GB more RAM. Not worth the upgrade.
I got a question guys I am stuck between deciding between these two tablets. I love my Galaxy S3 because of the ease of flashing, the display, great battery life and development. I checked out and was impressed with the tab 2 10.1 and am going to check out the TF700 tomorrow. I am getting the tablet for reading magazines, books, and streaming videos I have on my computer/tversity during bedtime (some of which are MKVs)
How would you guys say the battery life compared on the two machines?

How would you say the display compares?

Samsung and Asus just announced their new Tabs that are coming out sometime within the 3rd Qtr of this year
If you could, I would wait, the Sammy looks amazing, not much for details on the Asus yet

Looks like they have finally found a supplier of high resolution displays.

That's what my cousin told me but I note it's a NOTE not a tab...if it's like the previous notes I still would like to know more about the TF700 vs the Tab 2 10.1
I don't like the note, I don't need it for S-pen or note taking and I felt like it's battery life isn't up to par with the other two either.
Could someone who has had both reply to those two questions?

DO NOT GET THE TAB 2 10.1.
Worst money I ever spend.
It's sluggish as hell, the resolution is a horrendous 1280x800 and it can't read 95% of all external storage devices. Input is very unresponsive if you're used to the snappyness of a higher-end device like the s3. (half the time ot doesn't register untill I actually apply pressure.) Screen is also rather dark.
Haven't had the chance to try the 3 yet, but the only advantage that has its one GB more RAM.
As for the tf700, it lags on occasion, but still runs laps around the gt2 10.1. And you can use it without having to draw the curtains.
The new note tab is looks very sweet, but samsung has no experience with HD on a tablet, or that resolution anywhere at all. (1280x800 is not HD unless you're blind.) So i would wait to see what that does anyway .
Wait for the new Transformer, with a bit of luck they solved the I/O lag.

Damn....wow you just 180'd me you crazy Dutch woman But your response was a little biased 1280x800 can definitely be considered HD. I benchmark Diablo 3 Youtube cinematics on that resolution when I'm in store
The three is the same as the 2, 1 more gig ram and 1 hour less battery life. Not a good reception
Can I ask did you root and install a custom AOSP or CM rom on it by chance or are you basing your TAB 2 10.1 experience on stock? That's what I plan on doing from day 1 and what I based my experience with my S3 on? I would never run an ATT Verizon bloated version of a tab and judge based n that
Is she wrong guys with coming off a little hard, can someone else who is running AOSP preferably comment on the snappiness? In store it really seemed great to be frank.
