The motely crew are
HTC Flyer 32GB 3G = £250
Samsung Galaxy 7 Plus WiFi = £350
Nook Tablet, rooted n flashed by me = £210 if customs don't intercept, £250 if they do
all have big plus's, all have negatives
I want to be on ICS by March, updated or flashed.
i was thinking about this too. i want a 7" tablet, not a 10" one..
the galaxy tab 7" plus is how i decide, as soon as i got enough money xP
the galaxy tab has overall better hardware, and the design is awsome.
the flyer tab just has a better camera and handwritting support.. but who uses the main cam on a tab? Oo
and the flyer does not have a gyro sensor wich would be nice in a tablet..
the new 7.7 SAMOLED+ is the better choice as it will get ICS
I was looking at the Engadget and they reported the demise of the rim playbook... a great idea if your looking for a 7 inch tablet. You can use the google app market, and a all 3 versions are 299us.
7.7 won't fit in my jacket :-(
The playbook, not android = no.

Just wanted to chime in here ..
I picked up a Galaxy Tab 7" (2 of them actually) and got them for free w/ 2 year contract on them. Nice size, a bit on the slow side, but for both (myself and my fiance), she does a lot of books on it and plays a lot of the social games and I do mostly console emulators, MAME, email, and browse they are perfect.
Then I picked up a for HTC Flyer (Wifi) for $199. I originally was going to use this device for just tinkering around and what not. Then just got the Honeycomb Update .. I don't even touch my Tab anymore. I also picked up the stylus for it, well worth it.

sounds like you want Galaxy NOTE if that's the case
identical to the 7.7 but with more features, and is only 5.3 inch
I agree, the Galaxy Note seems like an awesome option. Now that I know about it, I want one too..
I got the playbook, £169.99 from carphonewahouse
Played with for an hour, and the android emulation in 2.0 its nice.

Hello i ordered a galaxy note 2 from amazon but it is on backorder now. My question is are there any galaxy note 2 owners here? I was looking at the Tab 2 @ my local office depot & was wandering should i have just kept my GS3 & got me a Tab 2 since they're kinda close to the same size (The note 2 & Tab 2). Anyone here have the note 2 & the Tab 2???

I have the note 2 and am getting the Tab 7 P3100. so I can SIM swap and use the larger TAb as a phone on trips. No sense in buying the WifFi only American version so I am getting the International version to match the note and stay on ATT dumb phone plan with a Tablet. I would never get rid of the Note 2 as a phone. In fact if Samsung comes out with a 6" screen on the Note I will not use both.
I have a note 2 and had a tab 2. Tab 2 is okay but if you have a gs3 there is no point. Now the note 2 is the best tab I have ever owned.

Had a note 2, stunning phone. Saw the tab 2 p3100, thought" perfect tablet size& it has a phone". Purchased one, flashed jelly bean to it, and stuck my note 2 on eBay!
I use this with headphones and its my perfect all in one device.
The screen and memory aren't as good as the note 2, but jelly bean makes such a difference in performance.
CES is in January, and MWC in February. Samsung will definitely up their game in the 7 inch tablet market considering the kindle fire HD and the nexus 7!. So for me its a no brained as the tablet version with the phone capabilities is loads cheaper than the note 2!!

Which means both My Note II and Tab 7 will be replaced by one device...... I cannot take even a 7" tablet everywhere. A 6.3" phone with minimum bezel is pocketable.
Just picked up the Note 2. While I can see my tablet use dropping now, I'm sure it won't disappear. There are times where a tablet is just easier to use, such as reading a book. The battery also lasts a long time in my Tablet, pretty much regardless of usage. I've heard the Note 2 is a beast when it comes to battery life, but I haven't been able to experience it first hand yet. It'd be nice to only have one device, but I doubt that will happen.
I have a note 2 and recently got a tab 2 albeit the 10.1...
The tab is going in the car.
I think anything bigger than the note 2 won't be usable as a daily device/phone

Hello i'm looking to purchase the 10.1 but has anyone heard of a newer version coming out for 2013? If so can someone provide a link. I'd hate to buy this & a newer version comes out a month or so later..I was debating on the ipad,microsoft surface & google nexus 10. But the 10.1 was an absolute joy to use in bestbuy last night even though the display model had jelly all over it...

I'm not sure about a new 'Note 2 10.1' tablet but I'm looking forward to the 13.3.inch.

It will be at least 6 months before another one comes out, this has only been out like 4 months! Even if one does come out, its not worth the wait.

Hi! I´m a guy who likes tablets, but every thing i buy most (in my case) be brand new on the market. The reason why is the speed of Android hardware development, you know, you buy a 2 month old (from the release) tablet and 2-3 month later another 2 times better monster-tablat releases. And you like "F*** WHY DID I NOT WAIT FOR THAT TABLET?!"
So my question is, is there anny sign of a new monster tablet upcoming on the market? Maby a NOTE 2 10.1? Or from another android-brand?
Well like the guy above me stated if 1 does come out it could be at least 6 months from now. IMO not worth the wait. I'm getting my 10.1 this month. Hopefully it comes with jb.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
There's always going to be something new in 6 months, just make sure you've picked the best device for your needs. I only just upgraded from the original galaxy tab with the note 10.1 but i still like the tab as well and use both for different things.
Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a Note 10.1. I currently have a Note 2 and I love it but I'm starting to think the screen size isn't enough for me anymore.
Is there any news about an upcoming 2013 version of the 10.1? I just dont want to buy one if the new version is coming in a couple of months. TIA.
Next month marks the one year since release of this tablet. I'm pretty sure an update is around the corner but haven't heard anything official. With that said if you can get a good price on it I've seen it on sale for like 350 I think it's still worth it.

rumor i heard was 8 core with a 12" screen. if true i don't think i'd be able to fight the urge to get one! i love my windows tablets, but windows just isn't very touch friendly and i can't stand metro (none of the apps i use are modern ui based so that's the biggest reason for not being touch friendly).
amazon has some refurbs for $300. i'm trying to stay away b/c i really don't need the temptation. dad's birthday, parent's anniversary, daughter's bday are all coming up in a few weeks.
First off, I love my Note 10.1. I bought it 2 days after release and still think it's the best tablet out there. However, the 2560x1600 HD display, and extra screen real estate are SO tempting. Unfortunately, I can't justify another tablet. A nice telescope is actually higher priority right now.

If you can wait, it may not be too long till the new one releases. Also, the price of the 10.1 might drop when the 12.2 comes out.

I think I'll wait a little longer to see whats coming. The new Nexus 7 looks good and I'm sure the Nexus 10 will be even better but I cant have a tablet without an S-pen anymore.
What do you think about the Ativ Q?

I wanted to ask this same question myself.
I want to buy Nexus 7 tablet for my wife and kid daughter (3 years old, she usually plays games). I already bought Nexus 7 six months ago but I gave it to my niece. So I am planning to buy another. I am kind of confused right now between both of the devices.
I know there is considerable difference between Nexus 7 2012 and 2013. But is 2013 version really that much better to justify that much price difference, more then double.
Nexus 7 (2013) 32GB is selling for 24,000 Rs on Play store. And
Nexus 7 (2012) 32GB is selling for 10,800 Rs on Flipkart (with 10% discount).
Please suggest. Thanks
Well, double the price is always hard to justify, and the Nexus 7 2012 is a perfectly good device (i have one). Be warned though that its performance seems to have a tendency to degrade over time. Yes, i know about the TRIM issue, but even dealing with it (i just flashed a clean 4.4 image) it seems to me that it is slower then at the beggining. Maybe it's just my subjective perception, but i notice it.
Note that this performance degradation isn't noticeable in games. Everything that is CPU/GPU bound seems to run just as in the beggining (very well). But changing apps for instance causes some hiccups now and then.
I don't have a nexus 7 2013, but playing with one on a showroom i got the impression that it was significantly more responsive.
Just placed my order for Nexus 7 2012.

I have nexus 7 and it work slow under kit Kat 4.4. I have made clean installation from image. But it still has some lagging. I think that 2012 nexus has not good optimization for android 4.4. Nexuses with Qualcomm processors think work the better plus have ART compatibility. I think that 2013 is better choice. Because nexus 2012 has end it lifetime and think never receive new big update. Because Google support only 18 month devices.

Yes, 2012 might not get another major update but I think that is OK. Because I will not be using this tablet but my wife and lil daughter will, and they are not too tech savvy. So it's a win-win for everyone. Me happy coz it didn't hurt much to my wallet and they are happy coz, they have one more tool to play with.
Also, if we need to update, we can always get a custom rom.
I will be collecting this tablet today from my uncle's house. It is a surprise for my daughter.
Flipkart now selling 16 GB Nexus 7 2012 for 7,999 Rs only and 32 GB for 11,999 Rs only.
If you want to buy this one then hurry. You might not get better deal in future.
I purchased last weeks for 1000 Rs more.
Just placed order for Nexus 7 2013 because I think its better to have 1 good tablet instead of 2 nearly cramps........
Thanks to everyone.....
i personally prefer 2013 version =() but it all depends on your budget mate
Just like rl421403, just ordered a Nexus 7 2012 16gb Wi-Fi @7999 for my 6year old kid.. after much contemplating of whether to get a 2012 or 2013 nexus 7 for him! I think the 2012 nexus 7 (particularly at this spl. price) is the Best (gadget)deal I could think of for gifting my kid(who have just in class1) this Christmas!

Exactly my case.
I would have bought 2013 edition for myself, if I want it. But for my kid and wife, 2012 edition is more then enough. And they are really very happy too.
For this price this is a steal. I am happy that I bought it.

I've got both tablets but prefer my nexus 7 2012 because the 2013 is the same as my htc one in some ways but faster. Reason why prefer 2012 is the design is good, screen is good, capable of running everything at times slows down but gets the job done.
I have the 2012 32G wifi version.
It has been rooted and unrooted, I've tried cm 10 10.1 and 10.2. custom kernel at times.
Usually runs great after a new wipe and flash but always seemed to slow down after awhile.
It has been running the best since the Kit Kat upgrade especially 4.4.2.
Now on stock rooted and very happy.
I'm sure i'll be trying cm11 soon.
Performance on KitKat feels promising to me.
More good things to come i'm sure.
Hey guys,
The owners of Nexus 7 2012. I am looking for a good but affordable case/cover for Nexus 7 2012.
