[Q] original Xoom still worth it?

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?

Take it, dont hesitate certainly worth 200 you wont regret it

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..

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

NO Get the REGULAR XOOM Do NOT and I repeat NOT Get The Family Edition think of it as a Kids Version of the Xoom which is way harder to mod.

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.

A 80incj tablet would be too heavy to carry.

Nexus 7, best tablet you can buy for $200

Thanks for the info guys
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
Thanks again for the advice

Which tablet should I get for my birthday?

My birthday is coming up soon and I have decided I want a tablet. I was thinking about an iPad but I want a tablet that can replace my laptop so it would need Flash player support.
Now I have read in numerous places that Jelly Bean will not support flash. I also noticed that flash player works in Chrome (for android) now and it didn't used to. So would flash sites (such as streaming sites) work on Jelly Bean because of Chrome?
And finally, I don't want to spend a tonne because it is my 16th and I will be getting driving lessons so I am stuck between the Asus transformer 300 and the Nexus 7. I have been drawn more towards the transformer because of the keyboard dock (understandable since it is a laptop replacement... Right?) but I also wouldn't mind the Nexus 7 since you are always guaranteed the latest and greatest updates since it is Google's tablet.
So, suggestions?

I'm not bothered about a camera on a tablet, in fact, I probably won't even be using the camera on the back (if I get the Transformer).
It's more about which one would be a better replacement for a laptop.
Streamung, browsing, emailing, watching movies.
I'm thinking the Transformer because of the keyboard as I mentioned above.

Do your own research. Use Google. Other peoples 'good' tablet may be different to yours.
And, finally, do not bump your thread on XDA. If it is interesting it will get replies, otherwise it will die the death it deserves.

Acer Iconia Tab A500 32GB Dual-core Cortex-A9 10.1 inch Android 3.0 Tablet PC + WiFi
in my opinion, the Acer Iconia Tab A500 32GB Dual-core Cortex-A9 10.1 inch Android 3.0 Tablet PC + WiFi can meet your demand.
you can search this item on google to review the specfication. As i know, this tab is android honeycomb 3.0, 32gb storage,support bluetooth,wifi,camera and 3g !

The 3G is the only tempting part (and the specs) but I can't go back to Honeycomb. It's uglyyyyy!

Depends on if u want portability. If u have the money the Nexus 10 is better spec wise. I don't know if I was playing with a defective Nexus 7 but it was really choppy. But that could have been my experience. Conclusion. Got the money? Get Nexus 10

I would go with the nexus 7 most def. I have 2 in household and for the price they are a bargain.

I have the Nexus 7 it is the perfect size for a tablet, I use my for doing some web surfing and playing some games. You sir may be looking for the Nexus 10 because your going to be playing games and watching movies so the big screen will be good for you. However Both devices are amazing I consider them being the same with diffrent screen sizes to be honest. Enjoy!
Cheers

hey guys, Thanks for all of your input, but i think ill have to get both, first the nexus 10 for performance and the amazing Screen,and the nexus 7 later on, for the portability, and on the go gaming, and web surfing Just have to wait 6 Weeks for the nexus 10 now Grrrr come on pay day's!,
again, i cant thank you all enough, it was hard to pick one so yeah ill have to get both lol
thanks, amatris

nexus 7 for portable

If you look to play games, watch movies and search internet, I suggest you should invest in Nexus 10.
It is much expensive, but high density screen and well functioning OS won't disappoint you.

Both works, but have you played with tablets of both sizes ?
It depends on you, but I, personally, found 7" sort of pointless after having a 5" phone. I can't really fit a 7" tablet comfortably in a pocket (I could probably get it in a blazer hip pocket, but that would be a large ridiculous flat block sticking out of me) so I don't think it's really and more portable - 7" or 10", it's not going in a pocket, it's going in a bag.
I think 7" is good for those who are looking for more of a larger-screen iPod Touch - an "entertainment device" - not so much web-browsing. I found watching video significantly more "immersive" on a 10" tablet. 7" is a good size for an "eReader +", as well.

I like my Asus Transformer TF300T. It does everything that I want, but I would like to have the TF700 all the same due to a higher resolution. The Xperia line of tablets also appeals to me, but I have never used one.

games
just for games and movies

Still using a Nook Tablet. I got it because it was cheap and I could root/ROM it. Have CyenogenMod on it now. Definitely looking forward to upgrading eventually. Though I'll prob have to to upgrade to a 10' tablet. 7' tablet, I feel like isn't much more useful than my phone.

I don't have any tablet, but in my work many colleague asked me to set up their equipment.
So I used Ipad, a Galaxy Tab (10?) ... I don't realy like tablets, but if i must buy one, i'd chose a game one like a JXD S7300 ( http://www.jxd.hk/products.asp?id=627&selectclassid=009006 )

Right now an Asus infinity tf700t you can easily root it and install custom roms to it and it is definitely good for gaming.

Right now I have a Lenovo thinkpad tablet 2, I'm really liking the windows 8 OS for tablets but now and then I miss android. My biggest gripe is I use my bluetooth headset for a lot of things and I've used like 3 different windows 8 tablets and all of them have had weird issues with them.

my first its ainol elf2 now samsung tab3 7" both for games and internet

Going to get a Nexus 7. Hard tablet to beat currently.

I'm still using galaxy tab 2, just for gaming. But actually it's now owned by my daughter, since she's the one playing game all the time.
I'm planning to get note 8.0 for working.
