hmm your input please?

Sup everyone want to ask you a question in my decision of a tablet. Well i recently bought a kindle fire and after a using it with cm7, ive really liked using android and a tablet. So im thinking of upgrading to a another tablet with better specs and bigger screen. I was looking at the asus transformer tf101 and acer a500 cuzz there both in my price range used. So which is better? Should i buy either one, hold out for something upcoming or stick with the fire. I was sold on asus tf101 because it got the ics update.

Hmm That;s great

Well from a quick google search, the a500 looks a bit cheaper than the other one. I'd just ask myself if ICS is worth the extra money. It really depends on what you use your tablet for. You may be fine just keeping the fire.

the evo view looks pretty good...all depends on your carrier doe

iPad 3.
I personally like the HTC Jetstream and Flyer. They are very nice devices.

I am with the friend here but I believe that the ICS is sure worths the extra bucks...this is the point here, if you get the ICS tablet then you should be closer to happening now android things...

Asus 101 had it loved had to sell it Acer is super thick wouldn't go that route plus t.f. can be a laptop if needed

I've used both and I like the Acer A500 more. They both are the same spec, the Acer build quality is good actually.
The Transformer can be a laptop, but to me its pointless because it is a tablet and if I wanted to buy it for laptop ability then I would have bought a Windows laptop to run Microsoft Office or other heavy desktop program that Android can't.
The real reason I prefer the A500 is that it has a fullsize USB on the device itself, this is a big win. But the Asus sliding tablet has both a slideout keyboard and USB which beats them both in term of functionality.

USB is nice however you can buy a USB host and your good Acer seemed way to thick compared to Asus imo

Flyer definitely!!!1

Also the galaxy 10.1 2 is coming out soon sent with ics

If you are looking for a used tablet with the future capabilities of ICS and want a quality tablet then I recommend the current Galaxy Tab 10.1 which is set for an ICS update in the future. Its a nice device...

Personally I wanted to get an Acer Iconia, But when I saw the Asus Transformer TF101 I decided it was the one. Bought the dock a week later. and now with ICS out and being developed its gotten alot smoother

Asus transformer all the way
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

I would go for the transformer (or prime if you can afford it) because a) ICS and b) the keyboard attachment is really great

Why not take you Kindle Fire you have now and try out some of the ICS Roms? I mean some of them dont have HW Acceleration but the devs working on them should get that working anyday now! I have a Kindle Fire w/ ICS and it is amazing!

I've invested $200 into HP Touchpad
10" 1.2 MHz duo-core machine, overclockable.
Waiting for ICS beta for it

What Tablet is Best For My Use?

I'm also looking for a tablet with USB 2.0 so I can plug my flash drive and copy data from it directly on my tablet.. And also I would like to plug my tablet to projectors so I can present my slide..
So far I've came with Acer Iconia A500.. It has a USB port to copy data and HDMI port to connect to projectors (maybe with HDMI VGA converter?)..
Is there any other tablet better than that with functionality I mentioned above?
Thanks

For badassery, get the ASUS Transformer or if you need a cheaper tablet that still handles well but with very little dev support, the Toshiba Thrive is great too.

They don't have usb. But I agree, I have a 10.1 and I love it

Don't know if you have bought a tablet yet but I have a Toshiba thrive and I think it's awesome...Once rooted and custom rom its decently fast and smooth. The full ports are very very useful for me but if you aren't going to use the ports then really there is no point to the thrive and it's obesity.

Toshiba Thrive has a slot,also they're new flagship tablet if you're budget can make it.

Googles Nexus 7 is cheap & performance is good also you can buy that

Which tablet should I get for my birthday?

My birthday is coming up soon and I have decided I want a tablet. I was thinking about an iPad but I want a tablet that can replace my laptop so it would need Flash player support.
Now I have read in numerous places that Jelly Bean will not support flash. I also noticed that flash player works in Chrome (for android) now and it didn't used to. So would flash sites (such as streaming sites) work on Jelly Bean because of Chrome?
And finally, I don't want to spend a tonne because it is my 16th and I will be getting driving lessons so I am stuck between the Asus transformer 300 and the Nexus 7. I have been drawn more towards the transformer because of the keyboard dock (understandable since it is a laptop replacement... Right?) but I also wouldn't mind the Nexus 7 since you are always guaranteed the latest and greatest updates since it is Google's tablet.
So, suggestions?

I'm not bothered about a camera on a tablet, in fact, I probably won't even be using the camera on the back (if I get the Transformer).
It's more about which one would be a better replacement for a laptop.
Streamung, browsing, emailing, watching movies.
I'm thinking the Transformer because of the keyboard as I mentioned above.

Do your own research. Use Google. Other peoples 'good' tablet may be different to yours.
And, finally, do not bump your thread on XDA. If it is interesting it will get replies, otherwise it will die the death it deserves.

Acer Iconia Tab A500 32GB Dual-core Cortex-A9 10.1 inch Android 3.0 Tablet PC + WiFi
in my opinion, the Acer Iconia Tab A500 32GB Dual-core Cortex-A9 10.1 inch Android 3.0 Tablet PC + WiFi can meet your demand.
you can search this item on google to review the specfication. As i know, this tab is android honeycomb 3.0, 32gb storage,support bluetooth,wifi,camera and 3g !

The 3G is the only tempting part (and the specs) but I can't go back to Honeycomb. It's uglyyyyy!

Yeah, this.
The Prime is like the beta version of the infinity. Many problems were fixed on the 700.

Needing a stable tablet is one reason *to* root! Seriously, rooting does not make your tablet un-stable - if anything, it allows you customize it to make it *more* stable...

True, but like the op, many people just dont want to root their tablet. Some dont feel comfortable dabbling inside the inner software workings on the tablet, while other just dont want to risk bricking, voided warranties etc...
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T

IMHO get the TF700T. I have had the TF101, TF201 and of the three the TF700T is the most stable and the berst featured unit. As for rooting, I tried that for a while when android first became popular but not that android if much more mature as an OS I do not feel the need to tinker with it plus the features that come along with the OS and applications meet my needs as a user.

The note 10.1. From what I hear its more stable and at that resolution more apps work for it.

Before the release of Jelly Been, the Glaxy note 10.1 is clearly a winner over both transformers. It's very stable and works well. Both of our Transformer are not working as expected, many issue. My family (4 people) has refused to use it because the browser is suck, the pad randomly stutter/freeze etc..I have rooted and installed browse2ram, it helps, but no where near normal. Seriously, my 600$ Infinity is sitting inside my draw waiting for the Jelly Been update. This is my true honest opinion. Many claimed that it's OK, but it's not and hope for Jelly Been release will solved all the issues.

He is just trolling you. Don't be a suckered. The Infinity is badass! Best electronic purchase in 4 years. It literally blows away the competition. The Infinity is the flagship android device that every other manufacturers is trying to emulate. The jelly bean update will make it more intuitive and is smooth as butter. Can't wait! :good:

IF you want out of the box stability go for the note 10.1... If want Full HD and a mini hdmi port then you go for the Infinity.. If you want an awesome Pen for writing or drawing go for the Note.. If you want the tablet with keyboard/battery to make it look like a notebook laptop go for the inifinity. If you want your tablet to control act as a remote/tvguide, dual front facing stereo speakers go for the note. If you can decide still... Go to best buy order the infinity and note at the same time and play with them and return the one you are not satisfied with before the return window runs out.

I was in your boat a few weeks ago (a tablet for school deciding between these two). Bought the tf700 and returned it a few days later for the note 10.1. The tf700's performance issues werent worth the $500. It had a lot of trouble loading magazines from Google play and anything else highly detailed. My wife's original tab 10.1 was loading things faster. The speakers are also terrible but wasn't the deal breaker.
The note is fast, stable, and more useful for school, but after seeing the screen on the tf700, I couldnt possibly stay with it. PDFs and textbooks for school look a million times better on the tf700. You could stay zoomed out on magazines and still read the text. The notes screen just hurt my eyes.
I returned the note and decided to wait for something better. A note 2 FHD would be awesome....

The Note 10.1 is better for school IMHO, the note taking and multi-tasking.
I thought the Infinity was the best and the keyboard feature is awsome, but then again an Asus netbook can be had for 250 euros.
Here in europe you can only get the 64gb keyboard inifnity for 710 euro!
I ordered the Note which was 475.
The Asus also has a lot of issues, for a tablet of that price.
It would have been great if the sammy had FHD screen, but the digitizer was the reason why it was kept at 720.
For taking note, doing research and reading and annotatin pdf I see the Note being the better choice.
The 700 is good, but if you really need a keyboard a netbook does the job and you can use full windows apps.

Best tablet under 400$

Hello!
I want to buy myself a tablet. This would be my first tablet! I want to know what would be the best tablet that cost less than $ 400, or at least around $ 400!
I use a tablet to play games, watch movies .. and that's all.
Of course, some broswing. I thought I take Nexud 7 32 GB + 3 G. After, I found the Asus Transformer 300 and I was thinking and Nexus 10. I would not want to encounter any lag, and personally I'd like Nexus 7 for several reasons. What do you say?
P.S. I saw the Asus Transformer 300 resolution is pretty small, exactly like the one on the Nexus 7.So, a 10“ tablet have a 7“ tablet resolution...I read that still see colorful, vivid and beautiful. Why should I buy?
Thanks so much!

Hey,
Are you looking for a "branded" tablet?
I sold a lot of tablets over the Christmas period, all China tablet and I must say there are some pretty impressive machines out there for far less than $400..

I think Google Nexus 7 32 GB is a nice Tablet. Google offered Nexus 7 in 8 GB and 16 GB storage options. Now the company has axed the 8 GB model and instead added new 32 GB on-board storage offering model. You can read full article:

I would say go with the Nexus 7, great device to get introduced to the tablet market, easy to use, comes stock with Jelly Bean so it'll be smooth. It's up to you if you want the 16 or 32 gb version, if you're like me and use alot of cloud based applications (i.e Netflix, Dropbox, Drive, Spotify) then i would say go with the 16 gb version, 32 might be a bit overkill. But if you store movies, music, photos etc. on the device definitely go with the 32 gb version.
If you buy the 16 gb version and run out of storage you could buy an OTG cabel and connect a USB drive to it and voila, infinite storage!
So yeah, I would say the Nexus 7 is a good tablet for you (and everyone else)

Ok! Thank you
But I‘m from Romania and i want this tablet from Google Play Store.

Best choice is definitely the Nexus 7.
Avoid the Chinese/unbranded tablets running android, they are pretty good but the lack of support, roms, mods etc will make you bored of it very soon after you buy it.

Nexus 7
Why
Because its Cheap Fast and its Google so you always have the latest android first
(china tablets doesnt always have propper software on the hardware)
