I like reading A LOT, i have 4GB of epub book on my sensation ( the average book is ~1mb so do the math how many titles i have)
Now the 4.3" screen on the sensation aint quite for reading, im looking for a tablet, which one do u recommend (mostly for the reading aspect, so a screen in probably most important, given the fact that i will be looking at it for a long time)
P.s kindles arent for me, id still like to have a powerhouse( asus, g.tab, xoom, ipad, jetstream etc)
So what can u recommend me?
P.s the htc reader app is hands.down the best

Nothing worth that price. If you don't mind the screen size... Grab a nook color or something. They're going for one hundred shipped. Or get a regular asus transformer.

He said powerhouse, not trash.
Get the Asus Transformer, since its mostly for reading, dual core is more than perfect. Handles movies and music very well too. And the keyboard attachments is amazing.

I think the htc evo view/flyer might be a winner. I haven't used it but I've been searching around for a while and waited for the htc flyer. then changed my mind according to reviews. however, there is a large customer base that love the htc evo view for note taking and reading especially. With the price drop to about 280 its definitely a steal or grab a used one for cheaper. I just bought it from an xda member on here waiting for it to arrive.
Then maybe in a few months maybe get another tablet or see what the ipad 3 looks like.
The htc jetstream i hear doesnt work as good as the view fyi.

For reading, the iPad 2. I have one and reading on it is a joy, especially now with iBooks 2.

Awe toche couldnt have said it better myself... lol. I would with the Transformer, I would wait though till they release the revised version of the Prime. All kinds of GPS issues and what not plus it going the same price as the original Prime. Or you could wait for the Asus MeMo.
If you find a deal on Lenovo K1, grab it. Can be rooted, and powerful,
with reasonable price. 1280X800 resolution.

Toshiba Thrive
Bought a Toshiba Thrive for my wife. Of course I use it more than her. It's wonderful. Dual Core processor, Nivedia graphics, 10 inch screen. Very fast, responsive. Plus you gotta love having HDMI out, USB ports. Rooted and it becomes even better.
iPad 3 releases soon?
I like the power of Android Tablets and I like the Asus Transformer; how will they stand up to iPad 3?
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus - I own this tab and it's perfect for reading. Just the right size for holding with one hand and very light. 10" tabs are too big for comfortably holding and reading for long periods. This tab also has great specs and is very responsive. I've had no issues running any apps or games on it.
Read the reviews.
I love my Galaxy Tab 7.7 for reading - powerful enough, is light as hell, and has a better screen than any other tablet available at the moment (just put it next to anything you like and the difference is obvious).
Plus its reader sized and will fit in my jacket pocket/jeans back pocket.
I've heard the galaxy tab is pretty damn good, but yea like others said Asus prime is pretty good
Ah dammit now.. i hate so many choices -.-"

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?

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.

I have had difference tabs and by far is still the best.

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

I've been looking at the flypad superpad 6 which is Android ics, 1.2GB ram and has a8 cortex processor oh and its a 10.2 inch screen, all this for £100, anyone know if these are good or if you know of better for the same money

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.

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

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.

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.

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).

exactly its a dual core go in reality isn't the galaxy faster with its quad Core? I don't care about resoultion I Care about Power and speed which ;g why I bought the galaxy note 2
Well,
more cores doesn't directly means that it has to be faster 100%. Apps need to be coded properly so they are scaling good with more cores, and I think all you will get is just more points in some Benchmarks, thats all.

Actually its dual core is better than a quad-core cause it has a different architecture, for overall smoothness I will suggest you the nexus 10 but for gaming I wouldnt go for this cause the resolution will kill all the performance in games(cause the gpu is not good enough) and expect poor support for tablet on android.
If you really care about gaming I suggest you an iPad 4 as it has great and more optimised games plus it also has the best gpu on any portable devices such tablets and smartphones.

FWIW, the versatility of the TF700 w/ the keyboard dock is very unique. It has replaced my laptop for sure. But, out-of-the-box performance was lacking. However, there are some excellent devs on here for it, which have negated any lag/performance issues.
That said, I was going to wait for the Nexus 10. The TF700 was a gift. I wouldn't trade
