The ipad 2 is old news.. its time for an upgrade. treat yourself to the note 10.1 ... if u like your note than u gonna love the 10.1,,
Here are a few reasons why..
-true multitasking,
-bigger screen,
-more power,
-more ram,
-bigger battery
-the best android tablet on the market right now
the Note 10.1 has many other feature too but u will have to get it to found out..
depends what you want to do
disclaimer: my house has the ipad 2, 3 and 4 plus two SGS Note 10.1s. 3 of the 4 adults in the house are apple fanboys and the other is android (me). The older kids (11 and 9) just asked for the notes for christmas and now prefer them over the ipad whereas the younger kids (6 and 4) have only used the ipads. The things the older kids like about the Note is drawing, the multiple windows and so many more free apps. :end of disclaimer
IMO- they are all great devices depending on what you want to accomplish. For me, the Notes are much more productive and versital like a laptop (allowing you to have multiple windows open at the same time, Polaris office, etc.). I hate how itunes controls a lot for apple but I haven't used it for 4 or 5 years and it was a lot more buggy back then on my windows laptop (prob better on a mac). Recently I have used the ipad on trips and sometimes at home. Other than not being able to view flash, the ipads worked great. If you are into drawing/graphics and writing by hand then the Notes blows the ipad out of the water. If you are only going to watch movies then the display on the recent Ipads is better (although I like the speakers on the Note better and the lower resolution doesn't bother me that much). The ipads are a hair smoother and maybe more consistent but I never noticed it that much. Anyway, you need to decide what you want to do with it and the answer should be clear.
It's great to have an iPad and a Note 10.1
I use both as they both have useful feature that the other doesn't. I do muchly prefer the Note but the iPad is useful for a select few things the Note can't do.

I would hold on to the Ipad 2 if you can afford note 10.1 buy one from best buy. In the 29th day from purchase date decide if you want to keep the note 10.1 or return it because BB has a 30 days return (no restocking fee) "here in Los Angeles".
My experience with the Note 10.1 is really great. I use it mainly to play games and snapshots/jot down notes on the image/use it for shopping. Also I haven't used my Moto Atrix 2 other than to make a phone call, mainly because the tablet is more convenient to use rather than my android phone. I'm actually thinking of downgrading phone or getting those good camera phone like nokia 808 to replace my atrix 2 and remove my data plan.
Hope you make a good decision ^_^v

Uhhm the one thing I know of is run "Speak for Yourself".
As for the original poster.
When Steve Jobs said "Who wants a stylus?", I said: "ME".
I wouldn't think of using a tablet until the Note came out, ( well OK the Thinkpad Tablet, but that was a bust )
because 80% of what I want to do on a tablet require a good pen.
I would say that if there are a lot of things you want to do that require a pen, think about getting the Note.
It is after all the premier feature and if you don't need it then even switching from Apple to Android you could find a better tablet.
Then I would consider the applications you use on the IPad, are there good enough equivalents If not can you live without them. If you can then seriously think about getting a note.
I made the switch and found the note to be much better for reading PDFs, drawing notes, etc. However, the ipad is far far better for Web surfing, since it seems to render Web pages better and faster.

Multi Window feature is awesome. JB has also made using my Note more enjoyable as well.
I officially sold the iPad and am now very happy with the Note. I will say that web browsing is smoother on the iPad, but overall experience is better on the Note. This thing really is cool, especially after flashing a stock based custom rom.

Hi guys I have a nexus 7 got it on release . It is my first ever tablet I love it but I find myself using my gnex more than it .I feel like it is an over sized gnex rather than a true tablet . I recently sold my dell xps 15 z and I really need something I can use to do word documents check email tweet a bit Skype my girl friend etc ..I was wondering if selling my nexus 7 to get an infinity pad is a good idea?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I was deciding between the Nexus 7 and the Transformer Infinity for my first tablet purchase. The iPad was out because of the closed ecosystem, and I have already paid for android apps on my phone that will scale up well once installed on the tablet. The Nexus 7 was almost a no brainer for me, it has a great price, quad-core processor, amazing screen and great software support from Google except for the lack of
1. MicroSD expandability (gameloft games on average take up at least 2 gigs of internal memory)
2. HDMI-out (with apps like Netflix, Hulu plus, and HBO go not to mention flash support, being able to output that to a TV screen is a huge plus)
For about twice as much as the Nexus 7, the Infinity offers a higher resolution screen that's also brighter powered by a top of the line quad core processor. It also includes a microSD slot, 8 mp camera, microHDMI out and the ability to expand via a mobile docking station that adds additional battery life, full sized USB OTG support and a SD slot. I have to say that all the additional features are worth the extra premium. I don't have to worry about storage space and the tablet functions much like a laptop replacement for me. If you're on the fence between the two, I'd say go for the Infinity.
Thanks dude yeah I have the nexus 7 now ...idk it just seems like an overweight galaxy nexus ....I'm really leaning on getting the tf700

I had the same situation, I was wondering between Nexus 7 and Asus Infinity. Those were actually the only options I was considering.
Lets just say that finally the decision turned into Infinity because here in FInland cannot yet buy Nexus 7. Also because I already have a big screened phone (SGS3) i was thinking that the difference between phone and tablet would then be quite small.
My feelings are quite divided currently. On the other hand I love the screen, it is sharp and nice. I like to read books and magazines from it. But then on the other hand the Android system is very laggy. Not sure what is going on here but this is much worse than for example with Galaxy S 2 and no reason to put this on the same table with Galaxy S 3.
Also for example right now I just for some reason lost connection to wifi and this claims not in range. However I have Galaxy S 3 and ipad 1 just next to it and both are working just fine..
I truly hope this is just some sucky software, but currently can't say I am impressed...

Yeah, I had a nexus 7. It wasn't bad just didn't have enough space. It was surely an upgrade to the galaxy tab 8.9 I had before it. I gave my mom the nexus 7 when I picked up the Infinity, and the Infinity is great. The FFC on the Infinity is nice for Skype and the key-dock isn't bad. Its a little small but not hard to type on. I have extra-large glove sized hands and I never get typos on regular keyboards, but do get a few on the Infinity's. I wouln't want to write a novel on the Infinity but for short papers, emails, etc its not bad at all and beats onscreen keyboards hands down. Lots of luck in your decision making.

I have both...the Nexus 7 is fun to play games on and read on...also, there is a lot of development for it already and it's fun to flash new roms and kernels. It does have serious storage limitations and you just can't use it for anything related to productivity, at least I can't. The TF infinity is just a bigger. more meaty tablet...I'm typing this now on the keyboard dock, got a wireless mouse, and with the super battery life I'm getting, I really don't need a laptop. I'm running the Zeus rom and it's much smoother and snappier than before.

That's because it's impossible to answer a question like that - we are not you - we don't use the device the same as you would. How can someone else decide which device is better for you? That's a personal decision based on your usage and personal preferences!
Personally, I think the Nexus 7 and the Infinity are two completely different beasts. It's very hard to truly compare them. One is small enough to slide it your jacket pocket and one is more of a netbook replacement (assuming you get the keyboard dock). They really are geared toward different audiences.
So, to answer you question - go to a store and try them out and see which you would prefer! That's the only way to really answer your question.

I was in the same exact situation as you! I bought the Nexus 7 and really did like it especially the smoothness and the feel of jelly bean. But I have an Evo 4G lte 4.5 inch screen it just felt like a bigger version of it. So I sold the Nexus 7 and bought the Infinity and I've had it for a couple of days and I have mixed feelings. The screen on the infinity is amazing, but the lagginess and wifi dropping off is kinda getting on my nerves. The Nexus 7 did not have these issues I'm disappointed in the performance and debating exchanging it and trying a new one. I think in retrospect I should have kept the Nexus and the Infinity. Just my two cents.

I have the Nexus 7 and someone is offering me a swap and I only have to add 200 dollars for the 64gb version! The form factor of the N7 is unbeatable, it's extremely portable and easy to play games on. Surfing is a breeze and you don't feel tired when holding it for a very long time. On the other hand the screen has a lot less to be desired upon AND the screen flickering issue of the n7 is INSANE. I was just about ready to give up on the n7 but I just flashed AOKP build 3 and it might have just did the trick! I also brought my router closer and I think it does help.
I've been reading on the transformer and it has the same screen flickering issue so I'm having second thoughts.

I personally have zero screen flickering on either the Transformer Infinity or on the Nexus 7 (which my daughter has now appropriated). I believe that there are a number of units of both tablets with hardware issues but I've been fortunate enough not to experience them.

I am using the 10.1 with BT as a phone, the 5.3 is getting some rest
I am not a very heavy phone caller so that seems to work for me
Except the week end as I need to be light and pop the sim back into the 5.3
I use both, seems redundant but I haven't owned the 10.1 for long enough to make a decision.

I've been using the international note since the European launch last November, and I'm now thinking I'll go back to a "normal" phone when I replace the original Note. Maybe a Galaxy S3 or the next Nexus...
It does seem like overkill to have both, and the Note 10.1 is just spectacular!
Of course I may change my mind when I see the specs of the Note 2...

I concur with HasC... love this note 10.1, only wish I'd bought the 3g version instead of wifi (I ordered a 3g yesterday to replace my wifi version).
I'll carry the miniNote aroumd 24/7 and use it when megaNote use would be inconvenient or too conspicuous... but suspect I'll have and use megaNote with higher frequency than miniNote except for phone use.
In short, I think both have great utility and see keepung and using both.
I've got both as well. I still like to have the 5.3 for little notes for when I don't have access to my 10.1, plus its 100% reliable for me. I've been Bluetooth tethering to my 10.1 all day with no issues, the camera is top notch, no issues with the software, battery life is excellent, especially since its getting less use now. I thought about selling it for a Nexus, but I couldn't live without the great camera. I may go for an S3 if I can find a decent price on eBay, but otherwise I'll be satisfied with this for a while.

Use both in business daily.
I bought the 10.1 because of the 5.3.
Have them synced thru dropbox.
It's a powerful combination.
I have both Notes.
The 10.1 is not in any way a replacement for the 5.3 - It's a tablet, it can't fit in your pocket. The original Note can.
The N7000 is my phone, the N8013 is my tablet (well one of two... I also have a Nexus 7... Each device has its place. The N8013 probably won't get too much use beyond hacking until a combo Bluetooth keyboard/folio comes out for it.)
I've been using both. smaller Note 5.3 when I am walking around and the bigger note when i am stationary or really want to check out a web page or working in forums.

Got it for the stylus capabilities. At first it was used as a web and media device (via Allshare Cast Dongle) now though it has pretty much replaced my laptop. I use it for writing, drawing, designing, basically 90% of what I used my laptop and PC for.
People always say about tablets that they are only good for internet and social networking. Maybe because they have only used iPad and other non stylus tablets. Use a Note and spend some time with the stylus, learning what you can do, allowing time to adapt to a new way of doing things and you will find the beauty of this tablet. Be warned though, it will ruin every other device you own and use that doesn't have a stylus input.
A perfect example. You happen across an article online containing a small snippet of info you really want to keep and share with friends. On laptop/PC you need to save the web address or highlight the relevant sections and cut and paste then send as email either as an attachment or web link. On a tablet? Actually not sure how you would do it without tearing every last hair from your head. On the note, click on the stylus draw round the article and then send to friend. It also saves to clipboard.
Need to annotate something for future reference, not a clue how to do it on PC without specific software, on other tablets not sure it can be done easily, on the note one click and you are writing on the screen.
Need to take some handwritten notes, no problem. Some calculations etc etc.
I'll stop now cause this is starting to sound like a sales pitch on behalf of Samsung and I'm not being paid to sell it. All I would say is delve into what the device can do for you before writing it off. There may be a learning curve as far as the stylus goes (I still find things I didn't know it could do even now) but that is why you bought this device over the competition.
I use mine to Web surf and play games while on the can

I've seen that a couple of years ago but with an Ipad. The guy had a rack for it installed in which he snapped the iphone and where it connected to the cars sound system, an extra GPS antenna and I think also connected to he's phone by BT so that he could use it to make and take phone calls.

How do good games play on the tab 2? Direcory bind works i guess? It will just be stock rooted.

Is the tab 2 still a decent huy? I cant justify that much money on the note 10.1, tab 2 or should i wait for the new asus memo pad thats out in a week or so?
How do good games play on the tab 2? Direcory bind works i guess? It will just be stock rooted.
Any answers would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I can say the Tab 2 7.0 isn't bad at all for the price. Stock does have IR but overall I love it. Although you will want some other opinions first

that's way too subjective.
if i could go back in time i'd take the nexus 7 32GB and avoid the "external SD" crap from this samsung. but overall sound, screen, speed, everything's good.
just compare prices and characteristics.
i bought to read books and watch videos mainly, playing games is just a plus.
i can tell you watching videos is great in this thing, very nice sound and screen resolution yet is my first tablet.
i guess if you're onto gaming go for the nexus which has 4 cores and excellent resolution. i ignore the characteristics from the other tablet you mention.
also i do not know the prices as i'm in latin america and everything's like 30% more expensive than in US or Europe (can you believe that? less income per capita and more expensive technology...pff!)
The thing is i had the N7 byt it became redundant when i got my note 2 size wise maybe i should of said i will be getting a ten inch version.. If it can handle real racing 3 im sold

Waiting for note 8 is worth

Waiting for the Note 8. Had the Tab 2 7.0 for a long time but it seemed slow and the screen wasn't that great.
Note seems like an overall better package. I wonder what the next Nexus 7 will look like.

I got a note 8 last Monday I'm thinking of returning it to get a nexus 7
What do you guys think.
would you guys .
No, got mine yesterday and love it. But I'm also doing graphic design so the pen is awesome.

I came from a N7 to this. Love this. The N7 is OK but this one in terms of speed blows it out of the water. That and the fact there are a lot more accessories for this (in my country at least) make it a no brainer. The only downside is my wife loves it more than the N7 as well and has already installed her games so it looks like I wont have it when I am at home

I prefer the Note 8 over the N7, so for me the choice is clear. I like the pen, speed, and screen size of the Note.
A new N7 with a 7.7 inch screen is supposed to be released soon though. If you are thinking of returning your Note I would suggest you look at the upcoming nexus, not the old one. Of course this all depends on your needs so you be the judge.
I too came from a nexus 7. The Note 8 is way better. Speed, memory card slot, screen clarity, screen size, pen, etc. Bear in mind that the on screen buttons on the nexus make the screen seem even smaller. Then the difference in size between a 5 inch phone (gaLaxy s4) and a 6.x inch nexus seems pointless.
The 8 inch screen on the Note is awesome.

The only advantage the N7 has over this thing is price. So unless that couple of hundred makes a difference between you being homeless or having a roof over your head, the GR8 is the better choice.

My wife has the N7 and it is a very nice tablet running stock android which I definitely prefer. We both have S3 phones. Wifes phone is stock, I'm rooted running cm based roms. If I could mesh the two tablets and get cm on the GN8 like my phone with all the functionality that Samsung has baked into touchwiz I would be in heaven. That being said the GN8 is still better than the N7 in all other aspects even running touchwiz.

I had an N7 for a few months but gifted it away. I never stopped missing it. For me, it was the perfect size (for home, not for work). I find the Note 8 just a tiny bit too big and heavy. But I need it for taking notes. The s pen and a slightly larger screen is a must for me at work, so the Note 8 is my preferred device. For now. If the next nexus 7 is released with a shell that is no bigger and no heavier than the old N7, but with the promised higher than retina ppi, I will buy it. I really like the iPad 3 for the high ppi screen, but wanted something smaller and just slightly higher ppi for reading and a less boring OS. And the next N7 is rumored to be just that. At half the cost of the Note 8, I think it is a much better buy for people who don't need the s pen. But if you need to take notes, the N7 is just too small.

I had a Nexus 7 and got the note 8. I have never missed the 7 one moment. I can only think of all the reasons the note is Better!

I can give you a good price on my N7, in great condition
Keeping N8.

I'd consider trying the N7 out for a bit. GN8 has it beat it every way.

Both are good. However, i prefer Note 8 more than Nexus 7 as it has high speed and larger screen. Still, it depends on you, which is more comfortable for you.

Hi,
Its depend in you personally .
but to reach the right choice , you should think of :
- what you DID NOT like in Note8 !!
- what did you miss off Nexus7 , that no more available in Note8 !!
Personally , I had Nexus7 , and now I got Note8 .... I like & enjoy Note8 .. It give me more
So when the new nexus 7 came out, I got it. But returned it and went back to the note 8. The extra inch is what made the difference for me

I hear the nexus 7 has a whole slew of issues with multitouch and after having owned a Transforer Prime, I'm weary of buying another tablet manufactured by Asus.

There's a real price difference between the two devices. I say $150 is not worth it for the average consumer. I like reading often so the annotation capabilities are really a plus for me.

It's $329 at staples and you're not limited to memory because of no SD card on nexus 7. It then becomes $70 difference for better quality, s-pen, extra inch, and Haptic feedback

I loved the old N7, but the N8 is a superior device. I was tempted to pick up the new N7, but just can't justify it. I still think the N8 is a better device.
