I'm seeing that both sizes of Galaxy Tab are posted together on the forums. Does this mean I can apply tweaks from the 7" to my 10"? Seems odd, thought I'd ask the experts...
Not Quite
Depends on what you want to do. You can get the 7" AOSP build configuration working as long as you use the kernel from the 10". ROMs built specifically for the 7" will kind of work, meaning that they'll boot, but the touchscreen won't work, among many other things.
Thanks for the answer--I would love to install a rom but development seems targeted toward the 7" these days (and the non-us 10") and I was envious of the chances to play with the tab after rooting. I've seen a posts about a couple of roms for the p5113 but not much feedback as to how they're working for folks.

Yup.
I'm using the kernel I pulled from my 10" P5113 in the /prebuilt folder. I'll have to do a quick compare of the respective folders tomorrow, but from what I recall there wasn't much more one had to do to get it running. I've verified that wifi and camera definitely work. Haven't had too much time to check out anything else.
Can someone point me in the right direction on specs of the Gal Tab2?
I have the original Galaxy Tab 7inch and want to take a step up. I love my tab, but i want a faster processor, an actual developer following, and the ability to use a bluetooth keyboard.
The wifi only (GTP1010) has crippled hardware compared to the 3G/Branded versions.
Did Samsung do the same thing with the Tab2.
Thank you for the help and sorry for what is I'm sure a repeat question. I did search, didnt find anything useful.

Galaxy tab 2 have a dual core Texas instruments omap processor clocked at 1ghz and it have 1gb ram.
It have a great hardware and software specs(getting jelly bean soon).
But even if you want a more powerfully processor you can head to nexus 7.
I like my Samsung too much, thanks for the info. I belive i will be ordering the 2 soon.
If i could sync a Keyboard to my tab I'd never give it up.

The P3100 has phone,SMS etc. I've recently swapped my galaxy note 2 for a tab 2 as my sole device. Use it as a phone or with wired, Bluetooth headset etc. Just class it as a big phone.
Note that the WiFi only version has no phone capability

I did a lot of research, but it was not clear for me at all.
Yesterday I contacted a french hi-tech seller about the galaxy tab 2. The guy answered me that I cannot phone with it. If I want phone capability, I have to buy the note 10.
I'm sorry but the subject of "Can I use my tablet as a phone" is a tricky one, or at least not clear at all.
I'm planning to offer a tablet as a gift for my parents. So if I can phone with the Tab 2, then I'll buy it for Xmas. Otherwise, I have to find another one !
So guys here are saying that the galaxy tab 2 has phone capabilities. Without any modifications ? Any country ? It works out of the box ?

The Tab 2 is much cheaper than the note 10, so it's a good option for me.

P3100 is the 3G version of the 7 inch Tab 2 and it's totally different to Note 10, i hope you know this. It's not the 10 inch Tab 2 and there are 6 types of Tab 2: P3100, P3110, P3113, P5100, P5110 and P5113.

if bolt, how does Samsung's own sharing work? I really want too be able to plush a custom app we have at work upon into I TV/ projectors and clan isn't an option.

Depending on exactly what you are trying to accomplish, it may already be capable via AllShare Cast. I can show my Note 10.1 screen on multiple note 10.1 devices, I think 8 is the max (I have only had 5 going, no more too add or test), but using AllShare Cast, the other devices would display whatever my screen is displaying. This will also work for newer Samsung TV/Displays, at least natively on their "Smart TV's" from 2012 for certain. Also, their is an AllShare Hub accessory that can be purchased to do the same thing on any TV/monitor/projector with HDMI input. It works with both audio & video & while the hub is a bit expensive for older tv's ($99.00 USD), if you register a Samsung device on the Samsung website, you get a code good for %50 off up to 10 items. I used the code to get the Hub for $49.00, as well as for a Navigation & a Desk dock.
It is great for just about anything except racing or fast action games. There is a small lag, nothing major, almost unnoticeable, unless you are playing a game where a few milliseconds can be the difference between wrecking or making a turn in Asphalt. For everything else though, it is pretty sweet. I use it for my older Plasma in the media room.

All share cast will mirror whatever is going on on your tab, it is like connecting the tab via hdmi to a screen, so if you run your app on note it will show on every connected device

This question is directed at folks who own a Note 10.1. If you were looking for a tablet today, would you buy the Note 10.1 again or would you buy something else? Why? If you would buy a different tablet what would it be and why?

In short: if I would by an android tablet I would definitely buy a Note 10.1 again, no doubt about it. However, having a quite decent laptop in the tablet would be nice sometimes so one doesn't have to carry two devices in school and still can run ie matlab and MS Office, so a series 7 Slate (also this from Samsung) is something I would really consider. But it's a lot more expensive and larger so using it for pure reading as an ebook-ish is probably not as pleasant but then again it's more devices in one combined with a small wireless keyboard.

Welllll,
I was waiting when I got my Note 10.1, then a really good deal (350 $US) came up on a refurbished 32GB model, so I jumped on it.
What I was cross shopping was the Samsung ATIV 500t, and the prices of those were down considerably, but after trying both in the store, the Note 10.1 was far smoother and a better experience than the ATIV, but the allure of running full windows Desktop apps (photoshop, illustrator, etc. )on a tablet is still there. The next line of Intel chips (Haswell, not the ones in the new G-tab 3) should hit the sweet spot of performance and battery life, and that's what I'd wait for, that or a sweet deal on the Note 8. The Note 8 is a very very compelling product, the pen is different in the 8" version and works a good bit better than on the 10.1, but the price is out of line from my expectations.
I bought the Note 10.1 for the features it had- 10" screen, Quad-Core CPU, 2GB RAM, fast Samsung Flash-memory and 3G connectivity (plus it's unlocked and there's kernel source available). For those specs, there's no currently-available equal.
That being said, once the upcoming Sony Tablet Z 3G/LTE comes out, I'll probably get it. I've had a chance to play with one of the prototypes and I like the form-factor and the fact that SonyMobile has released all the source already.
Every meeting I have when I start taking notes with my Note 10.1, I get asked about it and someone usually says "I wish my ipad did that"... There is simply no better pen input device on the market... yet!
I would wait because I would be expecting that a new Note tablet would come out, and this Note tablet would drop in price.

Actually, since the 8.0 recently was launched there won't be another similar tablet in this year or maybe "just in time for christmas shopping".
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
I would wait for the 5.0 upgrade if that is not just a rumour . or at least 4.2..... multiuser on this tablet would be usefull.
I too was looking for other new upcoming tablets like the new nexus thats about to hit in autumn or the xperia z that has sort of the same concept of multi tasking (refering to the floating apps that xperia home has) ; but i have trully fallen in love with the s- pen and multiwindow functionality and app developed here on xda !!
So for Now.. regarding your subject, the note is still serving all my needs in terms of performance.
The next note ( if there will be such ), will sure be quite interesting. The note 10.1 that exists allready has the cool revolutionary multi tasking concept mentioned, that not many android devices have yet implemented to be usefull enough for my user taste.
I'm thinkin that there are many directions to explore in android, that none big producer has explored till samsung started mostly .
Sure it would be great for me ...if i could run a vanilla aosp android 4.2 like on the nexus10 but multiwindowed... Even aokp and cm.....
Is should be possible in any device till now...no matter that version....theyre just teasing us.
I would consider the new Toshiba as that also had sd-card and a stylus but is super high-res. Just waiting to see how easy it will be to root. The resolution is the only way in which the Note could seriously be improved imo, but tbh I haven't found it to be much of an issue and I do a lot of technical pdf reading and annotating.
ASUS is currently giving its keynote presentation at Computex 2013 in Taipei where it has just rolled out the first of a few new Android devices, the refreshed and redesigned Transformer Pad Infinity.
10-inch 2560x1600 IPS display with 178-degree viewing angle
1.9GHz Tegra 4 CPU
2GB of RAM
32GB of storage, expandable by SDcard
802.11a/b/g/n Wifi
USB 3.0 port
4K video output over HDMI
399.00 price point and 499.00 with dock
The are also working on the ASUS Transformer Book Trio, runs Android "Jelly Bean"and Windows 8
It will have two CPUs -- a fourth-generation Intel Core i7 U4500 for Windows and an Atom 2580 for Android. It's also got two banks of storage available -- a 1TB traditional hard drive and 64GB of flash storage and a 1080p IPS display.
The Trio can be docked and used as a tablet or a laptop. But it also boasts an additional usage mode -- the docking station can be connected to a monitor to create a full desktop PC experience. So it looks like the Atom chip lives in the display, while the Core i7 likely resides in the dock.
All about android talked about it on there webcast this week. ( http://twit.tv/show/all-about-android/112 starts at 16:20 mark )
It looks like they are going after Samsung and Microsoft's business so you should expect a new line or upgrades from Samsung.
I would most likely stick with my Note 10.1 as I already know what it can do and I'm happy.
