Yeah, I honestly think the GSII on ICS will out-perform the GN. It seems to have better specs and features across the board.

So you dont care about the gorgeous display compared to the pixelated one of GS2.

S2 has a pixelated display?

Just look closely the apps in the app drawer or in the homescreens...ungly as hell cause of the low res.

Sorry, but I don't look closely at my phone. I look at with at least a 5" distance.

I don't notice any pixelation at all and I came from a Sensation. Going any closer than like 5" to any screen just gives me a headache. I wouldn't trade this display for anything. Honestly, the tiny icons on higher res screens bug the **** out of me. Nothing seems noticeably crisper, just smaller.

Galaxy nexus is such a failure lol.

The s2 is what...200pts less running gingerbread? S2 on ICS is gonna kill it. I'm excited!

I'm leaning towards that being the case as well! Just can't wait to be able to actually know for sure!

Lol. Sure the NS has higher pixel density but it will definitely lag behind in terms of GPU performance, especially because of the huge resolution, which is imho totally out of place in a phone. The GS2 with its good amount of subpixels looks pretty good, and the screen is still huge so high resolution isn't really needed. I'm also quite sure that battery life will be worse on the NS: if ICS uses the gpu properly then the overclocked 540 of this phone will eat it all real quick having to push all those pixels

[Q] Best Tablet for Small Child.

Hi. My name is Ari and I'm a alcoholic.
Just kidding, but seriously.
Ok here is the deal, like my tittle states I am looking for a reasonable tablet for my son. I will not state his age whereas he is extremely too young for such device, but his mother (my ex), yes I am single PM for details, have agreed it may be a good idea to buy one.
Reasons why we are considering;
To enhance his learning abilities, play learning games, and she questioned if there was something out there we could possibly use as a movie viewer while on longer then normal car rides.
Now I know there are probably 107 threads just like this but i felt the need to make a new one. I would really like all opinions so I can better gauge my research before making a purchase.
Clearly an iPad would be a good choice but lets face it folks, I'm not wiping my ass with money.
Any help, kind words and inquires about dating would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

id go with the nexus 7... wouldnt be huge for the hands of a small child, a durable case would be a must, reasonably priced, google updates, etc...

Nexus 7 its only 200$ a good price. It can play many games and stream great video.

I agree, and if he breaks it its only 200$ instead of a lot more if you decide on a bigger pad or even the ipad

I recommend a good book instead.

I'd say nook color. You can pick one up for 100 bucks, refurbed. It runs cm7 via sd card, and you can just reboot it with out that card, and it boots in to nook is, for a quality ebook experience.

personaly id go for the nexus 7 because of the speed & afordablity also make sure you get a case for it

I agree with the nexus 7 as suggested by others above.
Its very well designed, with good specs and a nice comfortable size for a child. Also its got a very affordable price tag as well. And its a nexus device which means timely updates. Aaaaand its got the latest and greatest flavour of Android.
Sounds like a good deal to me.

How about an e-ink Kindle then? That way he can read even more books. I may be conventional in my views but I believe that cultivating the habit of reading when young is extremely important later on in life. =)
The Kindle Fire is also an option as it'll give your child the opportunity to play games.

the nexus 7 is a good choice; fast and responsive hardware for a fair price

DIY one using an old tube sock

I don't have my HOX yet, but I will this weekend. Coming from a captivate and a MyTouch 3G, the only arm band that was worth anything is the TuneBelt. They make them for different screen sizes, not individual phones. I believe their AB86 model should fit the HOX. They also sell an extender for people with large biceps, so you don't have to worry if you get it and it's too small for your arm.

Agreed. This one is sufficient. I haven't been able to find any others that work/fit to the degree that this one does. Haven't tried the tube sock idea. There was definitely another thread somewhere in these forums with the same question, but i dont recall much resolution coming at the time it was posted, but that's where I initially saw the tube sock idea...

This one here looks good, and it's cheap. I think I'll go with this one soon.
http://www.amazon.com/Fitness-Pal-Black-Sports-Armband/dp/B00880HEM6/ref=pd_cp_cps_0

I tired the tube sock idea yesterday and it just wasn't up to par... When I would sprint the sock would slide down my arm even though it was still tight.): I guess I'll have to shell out some money for a real armband.

Dunno If getting the ab86 or the ab85, the last seems to fit the otterbox cases and I have the incipio silicrylic... If anyone have one of this and can tell if the ab86 is enough or really need the ab85.

I actually have the AB83 and it was for my captivate in its case, but it also fits the HOX without anything on it. It is a tight fit but it works enough to not have to upgrade to another armband.

Motorola X phone!

I thought I would start this thread about the much anticipated and highly fabled Motorola X phone, and quite possibly being the new Nexus 5 device.
Please state any relevant information, such as verified rumors and/or trusted leaks from reliable sources that you might have.
Also, what would you like to see in this upcoming super phone? Let's start the chatter folks
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium

You first! I know nothing about it!

Anyone else find it interesting that X phone has passed through the Fcc for all other US carriers but not T Mobile? I've looked on the T Mobile website and I don't see any kind of Motorola devices at all. I also don't see any mention of T Mobile on the Motorola website. In fact the last couple devices the T Mobile has had for Motorola were released 2 years ago I think it was the Defy and the clique. Anyone here anything about a TMobile variant of the X phone? I wouldn't necessarily be interested in a unlocked version because they usually don't support T Mobile's wifi calling.

New rumors said that Android 5.0 and Motorola X Phone both dropping in October. So far, of course, these are rumors.

I have also heard those same rumors and then I also heard that the Motorola X might very well be the Nexus 5 phone with such amazing specs as Android 5.0 and customizable features such as 4gb of Ram and 128gb of internal storage plus an SD card slot just to name a few. I really do hope these to be true. I will be buying this phone and would really like it to blow away all of the competition, Motorola and Google are due

It could have something to do with those sensors they talked about. How the phone will know if it's in your pocket or in the car and at what speed you are actually traveling.

I'll do you guys one better..... How about a video of the phone?

Still a viable option?

Is it still a good idea to get the 2012 version of the Note 10.1? I'm thinking of using it to read PDF lecture notes, replacing the pen and paper notebook and using it as a 'remote' during presentation and Evernote synchronization. The specs seems decent enough, almost the same as my Note 2. I'm tempted to get the 2014 edition but what with KNOX and all making it hard for custom Roms to be flashed. I've run into some ads where they're selling it at about USD200-400 for the secondhand LTE version. So what do you guys think about this device? Think it'll last with for about 3-4 years more? Any problems or quirks?

I just picked one up. Upgraded from my touchpad lol. I wanted a 2014 note but got this 2012 for $190. Couldnt say no. I was between this and the transformer infinity tf700.

Same here, just got mine used about two weeks ago and I'm loving it. Picked up a 32 gig model used off Swappa for about $225 with a bunch of accesories. I bought it because I take a lot of notes at work and wanted to have everything in one place.
So far I've been running a stock rooted ROM that I debloated and it is working well. I didn't really see much more value in the new model for what I am using it for. The S Pen works great with Lecture Notes... Plus I am enjoying using it for drawing and artwork, a benefit that I hadn't foreseen.
Good luck!

Walmart has the 2014 for Black Friday for $299 ... Might as well get the newer one unless you need the extra storage space.
