It's also lacking the ips screen, the main reason i want the transformer over the G-tablet. I'm not sure how often i would use GPS on a tablet because it is free on my phone.
Hi to all.. i need your help because i´m interested in buy one TABLET PC... but i don´t know exactly what features are well for it... i´m not experienced with it
any advise for start my tablet selection?
advises for looking some concret features¿?¿?¿?¿?
)
oh!i forget... thank´s in advance and i´m really going to be graceful with all the advises!!!
I'd get the new galaxy tab with Android 3.0 (10.1), I had a good go on a older Galaxy tab (8.9), and was hooked on it.
It just was so smooth and fluid, a lot of fun. And for customisation the galaxy tab is alright, if you wanna customise it a bit more, I.E. custom roms, I would probobly got the the HTC.
I haven't personally played with the HTC Flyer but it does boast some impressive features that get my mouth watering, but yeah in my opinion i'd go with one of them two.
Galaxy tab: samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/
HTC Flyer: htc.com/uk/product/flyer/overview.html
Motorola Xoom is godlike, if you have the cash for it.
I agree I would get the xoom if I had the cash
thank´s for all advices buddies!!!! i´m looking the websites that @Austinl was leaved in the first post... galaxy tab seems cool and has a very good performance and a awesome display... but HTC FLYER has sense and I´M A SENSE LOVER 100%...
but i already had 3 htc devices with sense... i´m a little bit bored....
can be possible that the galaxy tab has the touchwiz 3.0 environment?you´ve seen a good performance and stability?
EDIT: i had a read in the htc website and seen the features of the FLYER... its very good but don´t has dual core procesor!!! i think that its important that in the actuallity all the new devices have dual core not true??
in adition here leave the thecnical features of the htc flyer: (has 1 gb of RAM!!! )

Remember you can always change to another launcher if you get bored of Sense (Launcher Pro, Zeam, ADW, etc) Just thought I'd throw that in there.
Nokia Tablet will be a great thing;Until then I would go for galaxy Tab 10.1 because it looks great and it has Android 3.0.

The widescreen 16:9 and 16:10 formats used for the majority of Android tablets are, in my opinion, not the optimal solution for the tablet environment. It is either too wide or too narrow, especially with the inclusion of the navigation bar, and really only shines when watching widescreen video. As far as apps go, 4:3 is vastly superior aspect ratio for everything else (web browsing, email, etc).
I thought it might be nice to have a list of all the (worthwhile) 4:3 aspect ratio Android tablets available for those who feel the same way I do, since there doesn't seem to be one. I will start with a list of the ones I know about, and I hope you all will chime in with more.

Idea USA CT802.
As a new user I can't post links here. You;ll have to Google for it.
Similarly to the Eken A90 it has an Allwinner A10, 1G ram, 16G onboard storage and an SD slot, and is 9.7" and 1024x768. The manufacturer's site is wrong; it's not a Vivante GC800. The site also used to incorrectly list bluetooth. It does have GPS, which is not listed on the site. Actually, when I google up pictures of an Eken A90 mine looks exactly identical except for the logo and a few button labels--same buttons in the same places, same ports, same design with cameras in front and back and speaker on the back (wouldn't putting it on the front make more sense?).
The tablet's company is headquartered in the US and it's supposedly designed in the US by someone with a non-Chinese name, but the tablet is made in China and the manufacturer's web site has typical bad English of a normal Chinese web site. How someone managed to "design" a tablet identically to a tablet by another manufacturer, I don't know.
The tablet is an older model and seems to have been replaced by the CT920 which is also 1024x768.
The tablet comes pre-rooted. I don't know if the CT920 also comes rooted.
Thanks for this thread! it will be very useful! I also really home someone will soon produce a 4:3 hires tablet, like the ipad.
I dont get why google made the nexus 10 16:10...
Do they expect customer to just watch movies with a 10 inches tablet??
I'm glad to see other Android users recognize the 4:3 aspect ratio is superior for tablets. If I could get an Android iPad mini with a high res display, I'd be elated.

Archos just announced one called the Titanium.
Incidentally, my CT802 started dying. The screen keeps acting as though the top is being touched even when it's not.
I tried researching other 4:3 tablets. Apparently there's contradictory information about the CT920 and most (but not all) of the information on Idea USA' site says that it's not 4:3.
HP touchpad. Also has tons of support for ROMs. I'm running jellybean on it right now and it works flawlessly.

It also comes with GooglePlay preinstalled [although the official website states they are still searching for Google approval], and GetJar.
I liked a lot the 4:3 form factor, and also I liked that once connected to the computer I could see its memory as a disk drive, as opposed to Asus tf300t where you can navigate only through Windows Explorer. Skype, eReaders, video streaming, games, etc. worked excelent.
The only reason I didn't keep this tablet was that its display's fidelity was not quite great, otherwise it think it has the best cost-benefit ratio on the market.
Karbonn ST10 also aspect ratio of 4:3
Anyone compared comic reading on 16:10 and 4:3 tablets?
Used to have an asus transformer, but I always read comics in landscape because I find the 10 inch 16:10 screen to be to narrow.
Add Karbonn Smart Tab 8 to the list too.

I recentlY bought the Lenovo S2109 refurbished from the Lenovo outlet (US) for 160USD plus tax. It's a fantastic price, even though the specs are decidedly 2011 at best. It's running 4.0 and the ROM community is basically non existent, but I love it. OMAP 4430 isn't the fastest , but I generally only do web browsing and PDF a magazine reading and it performs those tasks very well. Unlike the 16:10 A2109 model, this product has more or less been discontinued by Lenovo and won't see further updates. I doubt it'll be on the market for much longer.
I really hope there will be another 4:3 tablet (Android or x86 Windows) sometime soon. After using a 16:10 tablet for so long, and comparing it to a 4:3, I completely understand Apple's decision To go with the former.
If your resolution is significantly higher in one direction than the other, your tablet is not 4:3, so 90% of these suggestions are false.

Not sure what you mean. Figuring out whether a tablet is 4:3 or not isn't rocket science , it's literally the division of the pixel height by the pixel width. The most common 4:3 resolutions on tablets are 1024x768 and 2048x1536. I don't think ive seen any tablets in this thread that aren't 4:3.
Hello to all,
I just wanted to write some impressions of the Lenovo A820. Probably it is interesting for someone.
I bought it from Etotalk and I have to say they are very fast and reliable, at least for this shipment (it's my first one from the).
I paid it $ 205 with:
Color: White
Memory: 16 GB C6
Case: Protective Case
Adaptor: EU Adaptor (gift)
Battery: Original Battery x 1
For Car: None
Packaging: No logo No word box
Screen Protector: x 1
Shipment cost with DHL $ 34
Fortunately I didn't pay the customs, which is around 20-24 € (Euro it's not a mistake )
I bought the phone of the 9th of June and it arrived on the 13th!!!
It arrived with English/Chinese Rom (most of it in English), I didn't want the Etotalk MOD ROM cause I knew I was going to root it and instal a new Rom
Straight away I put the rom from Needrom (www dot needrom dot com slash mobile slash lenovo indent a820 indent 12 slash). First I installed the V2.2 and then the patch V2.2.1, but didn't like it much cause the translation in Italian, wasn't that good. So i tried the Cappa72 C.P.4.2 V1 Rom which is FANTASTIC.
Translation is perfect! and the phone is really really fast, not only thinking that it didn't cost much...but believe me it's really fast!
Ok let's make a detailed description!

Screen is pretty good, good touch screen, fast response, at the moment very minus defects, if we can call them like that.
No front camera...I really rather use it on my Iphone 4S.
No flash...but photos in the night even with the flash...they never are so great.
At the moment, with Cappa72 Rom, there is the Video problem. When you record a video there is a green strip at the bottom of the screen but I'm sure it will be fixed soon.
The quality of the phone is very good. No noises, no back cover moves, probably slightly to wide but I'm being hyper critical.
Battery seems good, but I need more time to be more detailed.
It's a Dual Sim and I like how it manages it. You can choose from 4 colors for each SIM and in the address book you see which contact is in which SIM by it's color and by the Operator name. Also you can choose to set a primary SIM when you call or choose it on every call from a pop up (the selection can be made from the drop-down menu)
Wifi is fantastic, better that my Iphone 4S. I tried it and where my iphone couldn't get the line (not even seeing it), the Lenovo saw the line and could log in to it with no problems!
Speakerphone, is pretty good, not excellent but you can understand properly and it's quiet loud. The earphone is very good.
I had some problems these first days with the address book. At some point all the contacts disappeared with some regard from me, but I rebooted it and everything was back to normal and now it's a couple of days that it is OK....I will keep an eye on this and keep you informed. I will ask Cappa72 if it is a known problem or just some kind of settling thing.
I don't have a data plan on it cause I'm always on wifi areas and also because i have it on my Iphone.Therefore I cannot judge it from that point.
If anyone needs a suggestion of a phone, even if you don't need a Dual Sim, but doesn't want to spend much and have a really good one....choose the Lenovo A820.
By the way...I just ordered another one :laugh: This time black.
Bye bye
Thanks
This is really useful thanks.
I'm a newbie but have unlocked the bootloader and modified my old x10mini. I'm waiting for my a820 to arrive in the next few days, but I have ordered it pre-rooted with the Etotalk Mod installed. I thought this would make it easier to modify the phone if and when I needed as it would be pre-rooted.
I like the sound of the ROM you're using. Do you think the Etotalk Mod might make it more difficult to use the Mod you suggest, or just as easy?
Thanks again.
i bought A820 yesterday, so far so good
I don't know cause I didn't buy it with Etotalk Mod installed, but I suppose it's the same thing. Let me know....
I just bought my phone and looking forward to rooting it. I understand that it will not be rooted and a lot of chinese apps. My experience with Jiayu G3 says that it is better to stick with the stock ROM. Cooked up ROMs always have something missing, not working and generally not tested-debugged properly. Looking forward all the help from friends here
