Guys now is my time! i have to buy my first tablet ever! i have saved money and i cant upgrade sooner cause i am a student so pls help me sincerely...
i have about $650 (US dollars). i want the best tablet.
i love the flash in android devices for internet, but for the resolution i had in my mind to buy the new ipad but then Jelly bean came and it also does not have flash so i changed the idea of getting the new ipad. because both ios and android now dont have flash, i love android. but i thought to just check ipad cause i have never bought and apple product cause i simple hate apple.
my uses r:
1- using internet. i use a lot of internet on my mobile so i need tablet now.
2- watching movies and videos
3- using camera on mobile but a decent tablet camera would be nice
4-listening music
5- transferring big files
well here are my choices. guys dont be one sided for ur note cause no device is perfect! just give me the idea of which to choose between these depending on ur experiences cause many of u guys here would have definitely used more than one tablet.
1- Samsung galaxy note 10.1
2- ipad 3
3- asus transformer pad infinity tf-700
4- asus transformer pad tf-300
5- acer iconia tab A700
guys i expect a good answer from u guys.
thanks
I have an ipad 3 and it's really nice, but if I had to buy a tablet today I'd go with the Nexus tab. And you can force a install of flash on it anyway. It's more portable and after the ios6 the ipad 3 got kindda choppy. I wouldn't get the note 10.1 over the ipad, but definitely the Nexus..

THANKS dude
My first recommendation would be to look at the 10 other threads already discussing this in exhaustive detail.
That being said, If you need high quality pen input, speed and split screen true multitasking get then Note. If your #1 priority is eye candy get a true HD screen. If you can wait, hold off until the w8 tabs come out to see If they are any good and meet your needs. They will cost more but offer Windows if that is important to you.

Since you are a student I'd say you can't really go wrong with the note 10.1.
It can perform the functions of the other tablets but has an additional advantage in the s- pen.
I am not a student but a professional, and in the ten days I've had it I've been using it to replace a pen & paper for taking notes.

I go to school for internet security and let me tell you taking notes and making bad ass power points is why i love this and being that we have to work in teams i made sure i had my sg3 users on my team so that way we can show eachother what it is on our phone and tablets so in my honest opinion get the note at the end of day you will have fun with it

thank u dude... i really love samsung products u cant imagine how much i love samsung. i have samsung SSD, samsung blu ray, samsung monitor, samsung tv, samsung every thing but after my Galaxy s3 had the hardware issues and NOte 10.1 not having HD screen i am a bit inclined to looking at other devices.

1- using internet. i use a lot of internet on my mobile so i need tablet now. The Note has the fastest browser of any Android tablet and delivers a near desk top experience.
2- watching movies and videos The detail on a tablet with a FHD display will obviously be better. Are the videos you plan to watch encoded as 1080P? If not, or if you're streaming, you'd be hard pressed to notice a difference in image quality. Also, reviewers have pointed out that the colors on the Note's display are the most accurate they've seen on an Android device. Especially flesh tones.
3- using camera on mobile but a decent tablet camera would be nice The Note's camera is at best average.
4-listening music The Note supports BT 4.0 and aptX so using a BT headset can provide lossless audio playback. The Note has the same Wolfson DAC as the SGS3 which delivers, without question, the most accurate and lifelike audio playback. If you used highly compressed audio files it probably won't matter as much.
5- transferring big files I know you posted this in the TF700 forum also. All Asus tablets are a train wreck when it comes to file IO because of the cheap controller/NAND solution they use. This need alone should steer you far away from any Asus tablet. You've been warned.
whatever you do, DONT buy the transformers. a quick glance into those forums will show you that those tablets have defects in almost every thing. i myself returned the tf700 (after 2 replacements) and took the note instead. besides, i think that dev interest in the transformer line is low because of quality issues.
I keep seeing complaints about the GNote 10.1 not having a true HD screen and it drives me nuts. The screen on the GNote 10.1 is great. The difference in the GNote 10.1 and say the Apple retina screen is something that is not really that noticible unless you have them side by side. The HD screen is just for bragging rights. You spend an hour using either screen and you wont notice the difference mostly because the 10" screen realestate is just not big enough to make the difference that noticeable.
Even if you are not going to use the pen feature of the Note 10.1, this tablet still takes the win in my opinion. Ipad's are toys and I just sold my Asus Infinity because it had problems.
So far the Note 10.1 is just great. Super fast, stable and isnt locked down like the Ipads are.
With Asus out the way, meaning I agree with others on this forum that Asus has serious quality issues, have a look at the following video comparing the new iPad with the note. The review is unbiased and should help you decide based on your most important needs:

N8000 is 3g version.
N8010 is wifi version.
If u have other device to do tethering anytime u need, u may choose the wifi version.
Otherwise, 3g version will be better.
And the 3g version can also make a phone call, sms and mms. Just like a normal phone.

Is it only me that has a hard time with post that are titled with no information in the title?
How come there not a lot of ROM development for this tablet even the 3g version doesn't get that much.

My guess is that it's a hefty price for a tablet that got a lot of bad reviews. Even though it is IMO the best tablet on the market. I think after the holiday season (when prices drop and official jelly bean is out) things will pick up a little bit more.

Bad reviews because they cant get the point of the tablet...
Compare this with an iPad is just stupid
Yea I hope the development picks up when jelly bean comes out. I had the iPad and its good in its own ways but hate the boring ui, I just picked up the Note 10.1 and I got to say I love it,the screen is not as good but everything is great. I saw a couple of people flash the 3g roms on the WiFi version is that safe to do.

I purchased this tab on Saturday, rooted and put chrack's Rom on that a few WiFi only owners were running before he made a WiFi version, it might be best to check the thread of a Rom and see if a WiFi user took the plunge and applied it.
---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------
I also assumed there would be a lot of development on this tab as it seems very powerful, but I guess people don't switch tabs as often as phones. I'm thinking of returning this tab to bestbuy & then purchase at Costco which has a 3 month return policy, if nothing picks up by then I can switch to the latest tab.
I think the reason that development is slow for this tablet is probably because of the reasons of the critics' reviews, the price, and the Nexus 10's arrival. Probably the combination of the first two was already bad, but the Nexus 10's price and screen has taken a big share of what should be this tablet's limelight..
Unfortunately, I guess most people don't care enough about the stylus to get this tablet over others, but I am glad I made the jump despite hesitating because of the reviews .
Hi all,
Starting this thread to discuss all about GS4 and its availability in India!! One stop shop for all the info.
As samsung has already informed S4 will have a global launch, so we can expect it very soon in our Indian market from the date of launch..
The device is expected to ship in coming month, April. So many street retailers will ship the device at launch time. Officially, the date is not given for India.
So guys chip your thoughts about the Galaxy S4.
This post will be updated with all useful info related to s4.
I knew it you'd be here xD, planning on getting one? Or permanent nexus fan?
Re: Official Indian Galaxy S4 Owners Thread -Discussion, Reviews and more
Buying sgs4 on my bday 8th may should be available by 5th may according to androidos
Likely to be <40k.. right? considering the S3 is now 29k.. surely over 40 would be too big a leap

Yes, under the 40k bracket, but you never know street prices for unofficial launched units.
S3 is 25k here in Mumbai.

Alright. I'll be moving from an iPhone 4 (yep.. that old). I have no preference between this and the HTC One.
I've been using the 16gb for a while and I know I'll be fine with the 32gb on both phones. The micro SD isnt important. Both have OTG.
I like the design on the HTC a lot more.
The battery life is important for me though. I dont see myself carrying an extra battery though.. unless the one in the phone wears out.
On my current phone, an hour of gaming uses up ~20% of the battery.. An hour of video playback on medium brightness uses up a bit over 10%.
The One X did really poorly on gaming.. The S3 did alright..
Could you guys give me an idea how the S4's battery is likely to perform.
That'll probably be the deciding factor for me.

Reading the octa core big.LITTLE concept and the massive 2600 mAh battery it will ship with, the S4 will keep you pretty happy in terms of battery.
S4 again will ouput raw power while the HTC One will take some hit due to heavily embedded Sense framework.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Most reviews seem to suggest Sense 5 is heavily toned down.. But I agree.. the bigger battery is a bonus. and the 4+4 should, in theory, be more efficient..
If Samsung hadnt gone for the hyper glazed back, it wouldve been an easy decison.. Probably the same if HTC had gone with a 2600 mah battery.
As it is, I'm confused. Battery life takes precedence though..

I got my 16 gb wifi note a few days back. I had the option of choosing between the asus infinity and the note and I chose the note. I'm a student so I mainly use the note for education and gaming.
So here are my question:
1.)Should I have bought the asus tab instead as it has a better display or does it not make that much of a difference.
2.) In how many years do you think the note will be outdated. i.e. Not be able to run any of the high end games?
3.) Is the Note or the Infinity better for gaming?
Please telI me I made the right choice.
Thanks.

I am also a student and I absolutely love my note 10.1. If I want to watch media on a high end display, then I don't turn to my tablet. I can't tell you the Note 10.1 is amazing for gaming, watching movies, etc. I can tell you it's amazing for getting things done. The spen, and apps such as lecture notes, have completely changed my life. I spend hours taking notes, doping assignments, and pulling together material from sources and texts. All of that is faster and easier on the Note. I'm at the point where I don't know what I'd do without the S-pen. It's saved me countless hours of rewriting notes, scanning them, searching for previous work, and editing the notes/work I have done.
Look, if you just want to watch videos and play games, there are better options.
If you are trying to get work done, then you want the note.

I feel the exact same way, except I love watching movies on my Note. But it's perfect in school; it really gets the job done. +1 ^^
I love my note 10.1. As far as playing games and stuff, it may be slow ghtly lower res than the infinity, but I can tell you that I still play shadow gun dead zone and GTA 3VC all the time. And quite a few other games. Great gfx. Everything set to max in game.

Yes you should wait in the PC Mobile Smartphone Tablet world their is always something new . But it is a constant redeveloping circle and the only decision you can make is based on when you want to buy and the price for a product that does what you want .

I Know Someone Who Wanted To Buy A Tablet, Found One They Liked But Heard About Another One That Was Better Coming Out In A Couple Of Months Time. So waited but Didn't Buy The Newer Tablet Straight Away And When They Went To Get It Heard About Another Tablet That Was Due Out In A Few Months So Thought They'd Wait For That.
Here I Am Playing With My Lovely Note 10.1 And There They Are Still Waiting to Buy A Tablet.

I've seen the note as low as 300 usd so the price has dropped a lot. I bought mine for 550 and I still think it was worth it. If you can find one for that low I'd pick it up.

I made the wrong choice the first time around when I was in your position. Despite my initial feeling on the s-pen. I come to find it to be the greatest pointing device ive ever used. Im not an artist either. It provides mouse over function on the web and a degree of pointer precision that is to die for. Copy paste is a f'n breeze. Im also addicted to s-note.
But the real deal breaker for the asus was the ram. 2gb is what your going to want if your looking for extended usefull life. Some might disagree..but they are wrong...lol. plenty of speed tweaks eatup ram. Opera browser has some bad ass options that eat up ram but make the browser faster than any other ive used. So when you only got 1gb....you probably shy away from these options.
I didnt see the display difference. Sure I like how solid and cool the asus looks ans feels. Not a fan of the softer toyish artsy feel of the note 10.1. But IMO the note 10.1 is a better device with better longevity.

It doesn't matter what you buy today, in 3 months, something better faster and cheaper will be out. The main thing is that you are using the device now instead of just thinking about it. The Note can definitely help more with your education, which is a lot more likely to affect what devices you can afford in a few more years. You made a good decision. Now quit playing games and do your schoolwork!

Get that new Note out and take notes on what this guy says!
Seriously though, if you want to game, get a gaming console. While the Note 10.1 runs most mobile games quite well, I really only see these games for filling time between class, killing time while traveling or procrastinating some homework, not extended play time.
The Note will change your life as a student. I am so much more organized than I ever thought I could be with the Note. Having all my course work with me all the time and even past courses makes it easy to find what I need when I need it.
The transition in is different, just embrace it! Once you start to really use the Note to your advantage you'll wonder what you ever did without it.

I'm a student, too. I own the Note for about a week and it's great. The resolution is big enough for any practical purpose and 2 gigs of RAM are definitely better than one. There is an annoying little problem with making hardware keyboards work properly, but it hopefully is solvable. I also fell in love with the SPen almost instantly. Actually, now it seems to me that a tablet without a stylus isn't even half as useful as it could have had been.

my wife already adopted my tab..She's using it more than I do.
I still use it when I go out of town trips just for GPS and data connectivity.
This is my phone.. so i still use this "dead tablet"

My p6210 is in Canada. We are still on 3.2 without an official OS update.
I recently updated to 4.1.2 following one of the suggestions from this site. It is nice to have the refresh. I wish it had been sooner. I would have preferred an official update rather rely on the benovelance of strangers on the internet. I'll never buy a samsung again.
For now, this tab still does what I need it to do, so i will squeeze a bit more life out of it. Also as it gets older, i am less adverse to taking risks with it. I may experiment with these new roms. If it bricks, i will buy a Nexus 7 or an Ipad Mini. Sorry, i want timely updates and not an obsoleted device after a few months.
Still on stock waiting for update... Use it for travel, GPS, and plan on using it for accepting credit card payments.
It's still my DD tablet. With 4.1.2 (stock just rooted, if I recall) its doing everything I need. Movies on the road, books, email, web and games.
Certainly drawn to the quad-core goodness on the market, but not enough to open my wallet. I'd rather go with a Nexus, but I'll probably stay with a Samsung for the micro-sd slot. Makes be crazy that Google went the Apple route and gouges you for memory. 64gb card, for $50 = 80GB tablet.
Still a fine piece of kit. Mine is rooted and has JB 4.1.2 (UK/Ireland version) installed along with CWM Recovery. I agree that the tendency of many OEMs to not provide a microSD slot is a PITA...in fact, for me it's a show-stopper.
ye, it is [*] ;_;
only Daniel support u, god bless him :>
not surely dead i think, our tablet still stands out from other new samsung tablets such as tab 3

Too true!
I still use mine as my primary tablet. It still is better than those cheaper tablets out there (plus better than the Tab7.0 v2).

I agree when comparing to the Tab 2 7.0 and Tab 3 7.0. Having recently acquired a Tab 3 8.0, however, that device is definitely a step up - better specs, multi-window feature, etc. and very nearly the same overall footprint.

Oh yes of course, tab 3 8.0 is better, i think the tab 8.0 is the successor of 7.7. Just my opinion :victory:
Far from dead for me.
I still use it daily.
Use it for mail, calendar, tasks, timesheets, notetaking, calculator, banking, ...
Do the occasional gaming and ebook reading.
I hardly leave home without this device.
I love the 7" formfactor because it so easily stores away.
I don't think I will be trading it in any time soon. The quad core systems are mainly interesting for gaming.
The only thing that might sway me to another device is a higher resolution (interesting for some websites), but devices with better resolution are usually a lot more expensive.
Thanks to people who still believe in our tab
Some may think it is dead but I think if anybody wants this tablet not to die go hit the thanks button on this thread because as long as we have people developing we stay alive.

To me this makes me believe it still alive and well.
I have only had my tab for 14 months Still in warranty but i would like to see people who have this tab support people who are making stuff for us in there own free time (like devid801 ) and only ask for a simple thanks that uses a few seconds of our free time.
My biggest concern is shrinking inbuilt battery!

I'm running 4.4 Kit Kat on mine. Crazy this tablet still has development and people are still supporting it. So its not dead yet. It still has some life breathing in it.
