Uh, you have to be more specific. What do you want to do with the tablet? Are you an Apple person, or an Android person? 7'? 8.9"? 10"?

you can try the galaxy note tablet

I'm looking for an android tablet. Either a 7" or 10". I was looking between the galaxy tabs 2 both in 7" and 10". Kinda read mixed reviews.

I would YouTube galaxy2 tab vs galaxy note and use spec difference. My personal opinion the note would be my choice because galaxy tab can be hassle with fc even in basic stock. But you gotta find the difference there
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

I have a tab 2 10.1. It hasn't had any fc or problems. It also doesn't have very much dev support. It runs well for me, it's rooted, and I use it for watching movies and surfing the web.
Look into the note tablet and the nexus 7. Those are better tablets as far as specs go. They probably also have more dev support. Up to you though, the tab 2 works just fine for me.

I'm in Canada, so not much. It's actually $10 more than the Google Store, but I didn't want to wait any longer...

Just got myself a nexus 7. Can't give a review or anything as I haven't even unboxed it yet. Personally, I wanted the nexus 10 but its just not in my budget right now. Little brother has an account through newegg so settled for that. Same price as it is through the play store too.

I've had a nexus 7 for a few months now. I love it. The constant android os updates are a huge plus for me. There's pretty good dev support, too. For the price, I'm shocked at how much I like it.
There are a few bugs with the screen. Some users report a horizontal line of burnt pixels developing, and other users report blurry edges. My nexus 7 developed the horizontal line last week. I made a three minute phone call and a new nexus 7 arrived two days later. Not bad at all. I've read the screen issues have been fixed as of now.
Oh, it's also easy as heck to root and maintain. Rooting took me less than 10 minutes from start to finish.
Edit:
It depends if u really want a similar experience as the skyrocket. I imagine the Samsung tablets may be a good pick. I found the uber clean stock Android 4.2 system on the N7 was simple enough for me to bounce and forth between the skyrocket and not go bald or blind from stress.

iPad 2 owner thinking of switching

I have the Note 1 smartphone and love it. I also like me iPad, but am thinking I might like the galaxy note 10.1 better. Am thinking of putting my iPad on eBay and buying this tablet. Any words of advice?

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.
Sent from my GT-N8010 using Tapatalk HD

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.

Good buy? Need quick answer.

I was offered a like new Galaxy tab 2 10.1 for 250. Is that worth it? Will a new one be coming out? If I get them to do 200 should I buy?
Thanks for the help

I bought my used Sprint Galaxy Tab 7 (white) for $200 in MINT condition. Asking price was $280. Doesn't hurt to say I have cash on me and can meet you in 30 minutes inside a Starbucks.

Ok thanks for the help so is 250 high? Will there be another tab coming soon? One more question. What do you guys think of this tablet? Is it smooth enough? Is cm10 or aokp the best room? I dont really care about touchwiz

No its a low price. The tablet is awesome. The 'best' ROM can only be determined by you.

I'll bump this a little bit. I just ordered Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 for 200 euros (they are normally like 350-400 euros here in Finland), and now I'm facing a dilemma.
I already own Xperia Tablet S, and ordered the Tab for my parents. But what do you think, should I keep the Tab for myself and give the Xperia Tablet S to my parents? Both are excellent devices, but Tab 2 is only a dual core. But there are 100x more custom roms for Tab 2 than Tablet S. There's pretty much zero roms for Sony.
CyanogenMod and other thingys gets me interested on Tab 2, but the "low specs" on Tab 2 gets me leaning towards Sony.
What would you do?

Apple's and oranges...but
I have a kindle fire hd 7" with no roms but fair specs....
And a tab 2 7" with cm10.1 with mediocre specs...
I use the tab 2 almost exclusively...
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app

why not buy NEXUS 7? it's awesome.

Maybe because it costs more, and is smaller. 3 inches is quite a lot.
EDIT: In MY case (where I got the Tab 2 for 200€) it's cheaper.

Sorry to hijack this thread.. I am looking to buy this tablet(wifi 10.1). Actually i was confused between this and nexus 7. But the display size won over nexus 7. And am new to tablets as well. Will this tab survive another 5 years of time ? Does this tab support usb host and hdmi or mhl? How's the battery backup time(wifi on 24x7)?

just bought mine today for $180 at walmart but it's going back tomorrow. the thing lags way too much for me. guess ill either buy a nexus 7 or wait.

Got the nexus 7 today and its like night and day. The only minuses are no expandable storage or rear camera. I liked the design of the tab 2 but the lag killed it for me. Maybe ill try out the galaxy tab 8 when it hits.

thinking of returning 4 n7

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.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using xda app-developers app

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.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk 2

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.

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

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.

Well if it's made by Asus I'll definitely pass... The first note was $500 for the 16gb and $550 for the 32gb but they take microsd also so it's a pretty good deal. But the new nexus 10 most likely will be a little cheaper
