I've also been holding off from buying a tablet for a while. Was trying to grab a bargain touchpad but somehow i missed them all. Sold out and I'm not paying ridiculous over priced charges some people charging now on the bulk loads they bought.
Anyway, I'm thinking of the Galaxy Tab 7.7 from all that I've seen. Perfect size and specs are mind blowing. 7.7 inches of Super AMOLED! Can't go wrong there.

7.7 maybe too small... someone suggested transformer 2, good spec. But I prefer tab 3. Tab has better screen and camera than asus.

Can the tab 7.7 HDMI out to a TV ?

I was wondering if I can hook up the 7.7 to my TV using a special HDMI cable from Samsung so that I can watch my 1080p .mkv movies from my 7.7 tab onto my TV.
I don't see any cable for this when I did the search.

Look for the cable for the 8.9 or 10.1. It should work.

Yes, the adapter for the Tab 8.9 and 10.1 works - I use it with my 7.7 - should have a youtube demo showing that up soon.

Where can I find this adapter? Can you give me a specific link? I looked on Ebay but I am not sure if that specific one will work or not.

I have S2, S3 and tab... I have to buy 3 adaptors... beginning to feel something shouldn't be done this way

Can anything be done about the HDMI lag? It makes 'twich gaming' via Wiimote practically impossible.

I bought the multimedia dock on ebay it has a mini hdmi out port and it also charges up your tab or you can plug an on-the-go adapter and a thumb drive or usb hub

Is there a hdmi cable that doesn't need the tablet to be powered during use ? (as the RIM Playbook)

I just tried to do this with my RCA out cable from my og galaxy tab last night and it won't work. I'll be purchasing this cable you linked very soon. Thanks for the info!

I got one too, but the forgot to mention its a mini hdmi, now i have tomwait for a cable too, but. i like it so far!

Thread moved to Q & A section.

Any Note 5.3 users that purchased 10.1?

Are you getting much additional usage? Do you take both with you when you leave the house?

I am using both, did not think that I would use this tablet much as I have experienced the features on the phone, how wrong was I ?
I have not been able to put it down, the pen has been enhanced so much that it truly has become a productivity tool along with the new multitasking features and fantastic stability in any task we put to it.

yeah me too love the combination

Probably tomorrow

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.

I am using both - I now find I only using my 5.3 when I am out and to travel light.

I am using both and loving every minute

Its a perfect combo....
Love my note family...
Now waiting for note 2

10.1 now for everyday use
5.3 as backup and navi .........

Both these puppies rock and are in a league of their own! I use both and could never be happier...These devices are unique and I can't see myself changing to anything else. Can't wait for the note 2.

I am using them both, a happy user

Using both devices and loving them!

I m waiting for 10.1 on Wednesday so i dont have an opinion to post but as far as i thonk about it it is only an advandage to have a note family.
Thinking of taking it to ubuntu side so having dual boot tablet and an android phablet will be great.....
) ) ) over the air on Galaxy Note ( ( (

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.

Which mhl HDMI adapter works best? i535

M.A.D.gs3

Get the official Samsung one and don't mess around with any of the third party ones. It's expensive, but from everything I've read it's the only one that really works. Make sure you get the 11 pin for the S3, NOT the 5 pin.

Yeh that's the one I bought awhile back but its crap, every few seconds it drops out.
M.A.D.gs3

Are you sure it was the official Samsung one? I only ask because I ordered what was advertised as the official one on Amazon but it wasn't.
I actually ended up getting a mini hdmi cable for my old Droid X to hook up to the tv since it was cheaper and it works great.

Official Samsung Dock with Nexus 4 Quick Review

Just wanted to make a quick review since i didn't find one in the whole forum and on google, about the official samsung dock, paired with our beloved Nexus 4, in the past few days i took the time to inspect the Nexus 4 size VS the official dock size and came to the conclusion that it would fit, so i bought it, a few days later BOOM new dock and when i tried my theory... well it worked like a charm =) it fits perfectly and look great Just take a look it fits perfectly, charging is as fast as directly connected, i will keep updating this thread with more details, right not i don't have a 3.5 mm AUX cable to test it, but it's a complete "GO" to the people thinking of getting one, thanks for reading folks.

What Samsung model is that dock made for?

Looks like the universal Samsung dock.

Okay we really need to know about the audio out function, because otherwise this is nothing more than a glorified usb cable. Can't you just test it with headphones?

Yes please test axillary function

You must of died.
But anyways. I own this dock as my girlfriend uses it with her S2.
-Aux port does not do anything with the Nexus 4.
-Daydreams do not turn on either (unless set to activate while charging as well)
This dock is just a fancy wall charger for the N4.

How much was that dock? I use a official Samsung dock as well but its a different one then yours. I paid 11 bucks I believe.
