I'm wondering which Honeycomb tablet would be the best to buy. I'm debating between a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (which isn't available in Australia due to Apple's BS, so I'd have to import one) or a Motorola(Google) Xoom (which is available from Telstra)
Any suggestions, or do you all think iPad is better? You can also suggest other tablets.
Thanks
Tom
Bought a Xoom, since nobody bothered to reply.
xoom
sorry that no one replied but they are virtually the same.
so how is the xoom?
Sorry that I didn't see this sooner; the ASUS Transformer is cheaper and faster than the xoom, you can dual-boot ubuntu, and it has a keyboard dock. If you can exchange your Xoom, I would do it.
Hey guys,
I first wanted to say, I have heard nothing but great things about this site and the people of these forums. That’s what brought me here today!
About two weeks ago I bought a Nook Tablet. I didn’t really want a full tablet because of the price and only wanted to do a few things with it. After playing around with it for several hours I realized that I had to pay for apps I got free on my phone, I was able to sideload a few apps but didn’t block automatic updates so now my Nook is running 1.4.1 or whatever it is, so now I have to use the Nook app store.
So this leads me to my real question. What is a good android tablet I can watch Netflix, play some basic games ( Angry Bird, Farm Story, etc ) , read books using ( nook and kindle apps ) and have the ability to play around and not be so limited.
I was looking at the Samsung - Galaxy Tab 8.9 and the Samsung - Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.
Are these two good tablets? Sadly I haven’t had a chance to play around with them in person yet and only have until tomorrow to return my Nook. I was very happy with the speed of the Nook Tablet so if these are just as fast or faster then ill be happy. Please help me out guys, I’m open to other tablets etc. I’m just looking to keep it under $400 if possible.
Thanks you so much guys,
Glen
Nobody?
You could root your nook tablet then you would get the android market.

I have the Acer iconia a500 tablet and it is great. It can do movies and apps like Netflix great. Plus plenty of games.. and books.
Also you can get them for around 330$
I would also suggest rooting your nook to allow for the android market.

Samsung 7.0+ is the best 7 inch tablet avlible.
Kindle fire is great for a lot of stuff, and crazy cheap, but isnt really android, its just Android based. Still, if it fits your needs its great.
Cheapest full android (honeycomb) 7" tablet is the Acer a100
Good facts, and straight to the point. If I could thank you on the app I would..

HP TouchPad is a 10" tablet that will run CM7 and dual boot webOS. It ships with webOS. ICS is almost ready, just tying up loose ends I guess. They run ~$220 on eBay and online classifieds. 1.2Ghz dual core, 1GB RAM, 16GB onboard storage. Check out the TouchPad forum, very active. The TouchPad has sold more than any other tablet, except the iPad. They have been discontinued, but there is a huge user and dev base, so they are far from dead.

just want to point out, HP touchpad is a 9" tab.
and if you want cheap, you may want to look at the Archos 70b full android honeycomb (soon to be ICS) including front facing camera and android market for $199
Vizio Tablet..
Has anyone found a way to root this tablet after the 1.5 update? Or knows how to downgrade it so i can root it.. Thanks
At the opposite end of the spectrum, what is the best, most powerful, most beautiful Tab out there, or to be released soon? I got a B-Day in April and want my wife to get me one, I am drawn towards the Galaxy, and have the SII as a phone, but would love to see the communities opinions...
the trasformer prime 2.0 <3
best by far.
Has anyone gotten the Amazon Video app to work on their 7+?
I figure since it has the same screen resolution it should work on unrooted tablets unless it just really loves being on Gingerbread.
As a former owner of a Nook Tablet (ditched it for more than 2 points of multitouch on 7+) I know it is not locked onto the Kindle Fire but the Nook Tablet was Gingerbread not Honeycomb so maybe that is the issue.
I am completely new to tablets. I recently acquired a Motorola Xoom Z604 nice tablet but the os is 4.0.3 Is there a tutorial that can show me how to upgrade the os on this xoom? Much appreciated. I am a complete noon with this tablet but read that updated os will make it better and nicer.
Thanks.. oh by the way I live in Toronto
