Dears,
I'm planning to buy a tablet soon, and i'm ready into the galaxy note 10.1, especially that it comes with a pen.
Should I get it or wait for something new by the end of the year or 2013??
Thanks
if u r not considering a wp8 tablet, just get the note. you would never regret
I think you should wait for Ramos W30 until the end of Oct.
Twice cheaper and better hardware
Over had my Note 10.1 for a few weeks now and love it. You won't regret your purchase.

Best tablet out there!

Best feature rich and all around best tablet on the market. Prior to the Galaxy Note 10.1 I felt tablets were limited overpriced consumption only devices and not worth buying.

l used most tablets and this is the best tablet to date.
Also i guess windows 8 tablets will not support flash player.
I am writng this reply completely with s pen and it is easy as writing on pen and paper.
Please be sure it is the best tab out there I know there is speculation of Nexus 10 coming out but I am sure Samsung will make sure that there is something missing in it compared to note10.1 to make sure it does not compete with it

Why do You think so ?
It´s got an Exynos from Samsung but only 1GB RAM and no Pen. Simply from the tech specs the Note 10.1 is unbeaten.

Can not see why the Ramos W30 is better than the Note 10.1, the ramos has only 1gb of RAM while the Note has 2gb and the Spen, after trading my Tegra based transformer with 1gb of RAM to the Note I can tell you that there is a huge difference.
I could not find anything that makes the Ramos superior to the Note.
I myself had the same dilemma a few weeks ago but after I realized the win 8 RT Tabs will not have real multitasking and taking in consideration that all win8 tabs will be first generation devices I have decided on the Note and I can honestly say that the last time I enjoyed a new device like the Note was the first Iphone when comparing to HTC Diamond back then means a lot.

I base this information about widely spread specifications that Ramos will be available in two versions 1GB and 2GB RAM built in. I mean Ramos W30 in spite of the fact the are a lot of Ramos models to be released.
There will be also IPS screen and 15% bigger battery.
Im not an advertiser, Ive just been looking for sth cheparer or better than Note but only Note has s pen and lot of features. Im ordering this device today or tomorrow

First of all congratulations you will enjoy it, secondly regrading "cheaper or better" cheaper defiantly better? you find one please share.
I love my Note and especially the S pen, quite a sophisticated piece of equipment. This tablet is so versatile that everyday you find new uses for it and all its features. Kudos to Samsung for creating this beast of a tablet

These are the specs of a few of the upcoming Ramos tablets as you can see most are pretty similar all under 300$ shipped from china I already have a standard w30 on the way for my sister and will be waiting for the w30hd for my self . The w31 is interesting as well. I think these are pretty nice tablets that are out by the end of this year. Right now only thing they are shipping is the standard w30 while the others will be end of this year or end of january. If you can wait the aussiepad2 looks very very interesting

Touch wiz would be illegal for a manufacture to install and then sell that product but there is no reason why you cannot install touch wiz your self. But I will probably just stick MIUI on it when I get mine.Hard for a developer community to pop up with only two weeks after sales of w30 while the others are not released until December 2012.
I don't get why you would compare the Ramos if it has no wacom digitizer stylus? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of this tablet? I mean, the high price for a resolution like this is only justified due to the stylus..

I wanted to get a discussion going about this line of 7" ICS tablets *coming soon* from Ainol. Ainol is a budget chinese brand, but has been establishing a name for itself after becoming the manufacturer of the first ICS tablet. I have played with an older Ainol model, the Paladin, which has a pretty nice build quality to it, but the crippling factor was that it used a MIPS processor that was incompatible with a number of popular apps. This line of tablets uses ARM processors, so there shouldn't be any app compatibility issues. Here are the tablets with a list of key features. I've listed in green what the upgrades are from the previous model.
Tornado $99
Screen: 800x480
CPU: 1ghz Cortex A9
RAM 1GB
Memory: 8GB or 16GB(+$20)
Camera: 0.3MP front
Micro SD slot
Mars $129
Screen: 1024x600
CPU: 1ghz Cortex A9
RAM 1GB
Memory: 8GB or 16GB(+$20)
Camera: 0.3MP front
Micro SD slot
ELF II $149
Screen: 1024x600
CPU: 1.5ghz Dual Core Cortex A9
RAM 1GB
Memory: 8GB
Camera: 2.0MP front
Micro SD slot
Mini HDMI
Aurora II $189
Screen: IPS 1024x600
CPU: 1.5ghz Dual Core Cortex A9
RAM 1GB
Memory: 8GB
Camera: 2.0MP front
Micro SD slot
Mini HDMI
It appears that they should be getting the Tornado and Mars tablets very soon, but the Elf II and Aurora II will not be available until May according to what I've read. Spemall appears to be a fairly reliable seller of android tablets. You can see them interacting with customers on their facebook page and twitter . They have posted pictures of the tablets and spec sheets on their facebook page as well. You may want to wait to order until they have given confirmation that they have stock on hand.
I like the look of these tablets. They have a nice clean modern look with a solid piece of glass covering the front. Most cheap chinese tablets are fairly ugly and have raised borders over the screen. I would find it hard to spend $189 on the Aurora II, especially since I'm expecting to see a Google/Asus tablet with the same specs coming in July for $200. However, the first three seem reasonably priced to me.
If you want to get a better idea of what these are like, check out this set of video reviews for the original Aurora. I believe they are using the same case/build style as the original Elf/Aurora on these new tablets. Really, the only difference between the original Elf/Aurora and the Elf II/Aurora II is the dual core processor. You can get the original Aurora for $169.

I've got an Elf (original model)
Its pretty nice, build quality is a bit...cheap, there's some creaks in where the bezel connect to the back plate, and this thing is unusable when its really hot.
But it does have a nice dev community and if you're not happy with that, just use some ROMs for the Aurora, they're pretty much the same, save for the IPS display on the Aurora.
But, thy buy a tablet like his nowadays, when the Nexus7 just managed to massively outclass these Chinese tablets

Hey,
I was wondering if I should buy the Galaxy Tab Plus or the Galaxy Tab 8.9?
What do you guys think? Please explain why.
Cheers,
Mkalter
Take a good look yourself.
This is Tab 8.9
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab_8_9_3g-3891.php
This is Tab 7 Plus
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_p6200_galaxy_tab_7_0_plus-4208.php
Of special note:
Tab 8.9 (vs 7 Plus)
Weight: 453 g (instead of 345 g)
Screen resolution: 1280x800 (instead of 1024x600*)
Camera: Both are the same 3.15MP ****.
OS: Both run Honeycomb, only 7 Plus is .2 newer.
CPU: Dual core 1GHz Cortex A9 (instead of Exynos 4210)
GPU: Nvidia Tegra 2 (instead of the proven Mali 400MP)
Highlighted in red represents the smelliest pile of marketing crap on Earth. It made me regret the one Android tablet I bought (due to Android community's hype) that turned me off Android OS as a whole. If you want a smoother Android ride, I urge you to go with Mali, or at least find an Android with Adreno 225, or best of them all, PowerVR 543.
The other thing that the 8.9 lacks
The other key feature that the 8.9 lacks is a microSD slot. I ditched my SGT 10.1 quite quickly when I realised how constrained you are without an SD card slot. The 7 Plus has one and it supports 64GB microSDs, which if you are a road warrior like is a total godsend!
I just have ordered a Tablet PC, but not pay it yet. because it is 7 Inch Capacitive Screen Android 4.0 and only $79.5 , free shipping
I do not know whether it's worth!
looking forward more ideas!
Can you say more about this tablet? What is CPU, GPU, RAM etc?
the review looks good

Mali 400 is very good GPU in this GPU you can run most games!
And CPU A13 1GHz is too very good for this price! You can in this tablet watch fullHD movies and i think web browsing in for example Opera Mobile would be nice
I've got one of these similar devices. Trust me, they might sound good, but they fall apart if you plan to use it extensively. Mine randomly doesn't install apps for some reason, I have to install apps 3 - 5 times before they will install correctly. Pathetic.
The deal-breaker would be 512Mb RAM and 4GB Storage. If there's no expendable storage, you shouldn't buy.
by the way, check this one out

Tablet would be a good for development to test your apps. Not sure about daily usage though, might be a little janky......
That tablet sucks.
Cheapest tablet for the money is the Ainol Aurora. Anything cheaper will disappoint.

thanks, everyone!
this is one of the many models of the Chinese market. a 2-fold lower price it's a gimmick. Look on the characteristics of the tablet is mnogo.protsessor A13 is the cheapest right now.
There are a bunch of different models of the ICOO D50.
You have to read the specifications very carefully.
The one with 1024 x 600, HDMI out and 8 GB doesn't look bad.

it depends on how you use it,don't expect it can work like ipad.
however the price is not good for this chinese tablet, maybe you can add a little to get a refurb. nook
good luck
here is a video of the tablet.... looks pretty good to me. main thing i worry about is the battery life.... 2600 ma.

Released on 6th march 13 in india, this cheap tab, cost arround Rs 5990, approx $120 has good specs as far as performance is concern.
1.6Ghz dual core CPU, quad core mali 400 GPU, 1gb ddr3 ram, 8 gb internal memory, most probably using RK3066 chipset.
7" 480x800 display, capacitive 5 point multitouch screen, 4.1 jelly bean os etc.
Gonna buy this device expecting this device will support heavy 3D games, and more important xda shall play a good role to develop custom roms, kernal etc. for this device.
What y'all think?
Hi! Meizu MX3 is an upcoming Octa-core Android smartphone with cool specs. It's been said that it has an 8-core Samsung Exynos 5410 CPU, 2GB RAM, up to 64GB ROM, dual cameras with 13MP rear and 5.1-inch display with WUXGA (1920 x 1200 pixels) screen resolution. It is currently under development and may come out later this year. In the meantime, you can view the known specs here: http://www.chinaphonereview.com/meizu-mx3
What do you think about this Octa-core baby? Could this be comparable to the only other octa-core phone I know, Samsung Galaxy S4?
Wow ! Seems a decent mobile.
I saw at Tech Junction that the Meizu MX3 might be launched in India too;
