Hi,
I'm a newbie here... to both Android and the XDA Forums. I'm looking to purchase a tablet for no more than $400 USD.
I like the pros of the Nexus 7.... being that its quad core and its $200.
Still... the lack of expandable memory and DLNA is a sore point for me.
For a while I was settled on the GTab 2 7.0 (I have a GT-I9100 so Samsung Bias is expected). I didn't see the need spending an extra $100+ for an extra 3.1" on the screen size to get the 10.1 version.
This was my choice until some bastard (lol) mentioned the TF300T and now I'm back where I was before....
Now every review I've read... so far... owners mention having the dock. That's an extra $130 and pushes the cost up to $500. Now.... I may get the dock... if I WANT TO... if I indeed go with getting the TF300T but I want it to be a choice and not something I HAVE to get.
So my question is, sans the docking station, just HOW good is the TF300T compared to say... well... a GTab 2 10.1"? What are the caveats?
Appreciate any assistance forthcoming. Thank you for your time.
i don't use my dock at all. in my opinion the dock is only usefull if you plan on writing a novel or essays.

So it IS a functional tablet as far when compared to the GTab2 10.1? No drawbacks?
I don't have the dock, and I don't see myself buying it in the future. I wanted the TF300T for mobility, and it's pretty good .
If the need arises for a physical keyboard, I'll just take my laptop with me. The only thing I regret from the dock is the USB port - I can't buy the adapter in my country.

Yes....and is more powerful than the GTab 2 which is a dual-core machine (vs quad core in the Transformer).
On the flip side - the GTab has built-in 3G support. The TF300T is wi-fi only.
The TF300TG has wi-fi/3G...but it's not available in all territories.
The keyboard dock is obviously useful for productivity apps....but it's also handy for old DOS games, hacking etc.
It also has the SD card....and extends the battery life by 5 - 6 hours.
IMO, it's a more flexible device with the option of the keyboard. I use it as a tablet probably 70% of the time.

This tablet absolutely Trashes GTab2, better performance, better screen, the ability to get the dock if you want to. The one drawback I find is that there are more accessories for the GTab 2 (like the smartcover) but I think that gets fixed in time. Also Asus is famous for bringing fast updates and there is already CM10 (Android 4.1.1) rom out for the TF300. I would really get this tablet over the gtab2, don't really see any reason to get it, it's pretty crappy in the end, so laggy.
For me, the dock is just like an extra acessory to my tablet. I rarely use it. The tablet is perfect even without it. Of course, the USB thing is really useful
I agree. I don't have or need the dock. The TF300T is great and ASUS support is fantastic.

i do have the dock and i really like it but the tablet it self is great too every thing just works and the battery lasts ages

I would get the ASUS...even with its little quirks.
My ONLY complaint about this tablet is the lag in the browser...some experience it,some dont. it is annoying but not terrible.
and i have a feeling Jelly Bean will fix it.
the main advantages of the ASUS over the galaxy tab is the update time. ASUS has always been on of the first to deliver the latest version of android to thier devices.....Samsung on the other hand....not so much. i believe they JUST (as in the last month) updated to original tab 10.1 to ICS...asus updated their original tf101 like 4 months ago.
also the quad core is pretty nice for graphically intense games (dead trigger looks fantastic) in every day use though, you probably wont notice much of a difference.
not to mention the dock. i dont have one, and i dont think i really need one...however i would take one in a heart beat if i got a good deal on it. just adds so much functionality.
I hardly use the dock. Slightly annoying since it costs so much.

I dont have the dock , i dont see the need for it , has much of the use I do with the TF300 is gaming and to watch some anime. But is nice to know if ever want to do more then just gaming I can buy the dock and make it a netbook.
With the lack of a USB, How do you browse, add and remove media from the device using a PC? (When you don't have the dock).
Suppose, heaven forbid, I'm in a place where there is no Wifi, how would I transfer media?
If I can successfully navigate this with one caveat with ease, then we have a winner

You can still use the cable, or use a micro SD to transfer data to your tablet. Easy enough.
Only had mine for a week, but it works great with or without the dock.
Some things are easier with it, but still easily manageable without it really

I don't have the dock and I liked having that as an option if I decided to get it in the future. I love my tablet as is and I usually get SAMSUNG products. Asus is quick about upgrades unlike SAMSUNG. The dev support is picking up, and the device is at an excellent price point for the specs that it comes with.

It has the tegra 3 which is much faster than the omap 4430. It also doesn't have touchwiz and is pretty much aosp with a few minor mods. The tegra 3 also gives you access to much more of the system ram. Close to the full gig. I've noticed on my galaxy nexus that only about 700 is available so it must share it with the GPU. That extra 250 or so makes a difference during multitasking.
Nexus 7 tegra 3: 974MB available RAM
Galaxy nexus TI OMAP 4460: 695MB available RAM

Dude I was in the exact situation as you. Also have the SGS2 and was considering tablets like you. The Stab 10.1 was my 1st choice ofc until I realized for way less I could get way more.
I got the TF300T without the 3G because I par it to my SGS2 without any problems and both of them have BT 3.0 so its practically as fast as your internet connection can go on 3G.
Other than that I dont have the dock as I wanted a Tablet not a Netbook and because its paired with my phone to share the internet connection I have absolutely no issues with any type of connectivity. Other than that Your SGS2 SD card firs in the tablet so you could just copy stuff on there and plug it into your tab and copy it off putting it back in your phone if you want OR you could just install Dropbox to transfer files with like I do
With the tablet you get 8 gig's of Asus web storage and there is a app for it you can install on your home PC and on your phone if you want to do it that way too.
There is literally multiple ways to get stuff shared in between them.
Does anybody have it yet? Could you please leave your comments and first impressions here if you do?...
The pen works very well on the note 10.1. It feels more natural than the s pen. I actually Bluetooth it to my galaxy note 5.3. Sound quality is excellent and the people I talk to can hear me very clearly. All in all a great device. Can you live without it? Absolutely, but it's fun to have.
Thanks for the feedback.
1. Does this pen allow pairing with more than one device at the same time?
2. Does it house the 10.1 stylus inside, like the holder for the original N7000 Note did?

No. As far as I can see it only pairs with 1 device. Can't read Chinese instructions though. It doesn't house the stylus. It's a separate stylus. Comes with its own bag of plastic nibs.
Anyone else got this? Could you please leave your feedback? Thanks.
I've ordered it off of ebay, but not received yet. am anxious to read others reviews as well.
The BT s-pen has the same function as the normal s-pen. And it is a bluetooth headset with vibrition for incomming calls. When you press the phone button S-voice opens. Say "call Annie" and Annie will be called. Great !

Got mine off Ebay from Korea directly... No english instructions but then its not too hard to work out...
Charge until led turns blue, start bluetooth on Phone/Tablet, search bluetooth.
On pen, hold dial button for 3 - 10 seconds, tablet will pick up, Can't remember if I needed to enter pair code but "0000" usually works....

I finally got my hands one one of these yesterday - awesome. I also got English instructions with mine
1. Yes it supports two devices at the same time (Multi-Point) I have mine paired with my Note 10.1 & my Note 2
2. Yes it holds an s-pen inside - there's some instructions for re-assembling it and a picture. I don't know if it's the full s-pen inside though and I'm not going to take it apart just to find out.
It's got the proper feel of a pen and is much nicer to write with than built in one. Works great with s-voice as well and sound quality is good.
My poor s-pen always stays in it's slot now.
Also one proud owner here Got mine for about 30 usd. Really like to use it over the standard Spen. And what is more cool than talk to your pen, haha.

From this shop I doubt... in fact they don't have fixed prices and you can bargain. I have years of experience on this in China so not easy to fool. But I didn't find this pen in China and there I think no chance to bargain for such original products, at least not much. So I was suprise to find it here and be able to set a good price. I also bought the original flip cover. Or it just could be that they try to ripoff all the white faces they see

Update, there's 2 on Ebay.com right now. I think only 1 is under $75 AND a US seller. When I search I only want US sellers. Hope this helps. You can set up 'saved searches' and even 'notifier' when the item matches your wish.
Is there a way to only use the wacom digitizer? For example if I want to use a note taking application that doesn't have palm rejection?
I know the lenovo thinkpad tablet has this easily accesible from double tapping the clock...

I just want to thank you for your post. I spent over an hr with both Samsung and Sprint (over and hr each). I was promised that there was no way to use the new enhanced s-pen (ok, not so new as I think it as originally made for the Note 1) with out first removing the s -pen from the phone on the Note 2. I just could not imagain such an oversight. Your post gave me the answer and what makes me so upset is that it is an obvious answer, one you would have expected Samsung or sprint to have ready to answer via their internal knowlege base. I have so ma y other questions I have asked them with out any kind of reasonable answer, I find myself wondering if I should ever call either if these companies Again!
So a bug thanks for at least uncovering this answer!
This said, if there is a way to get some clarity on other posts I have read regarding the own itself, I would be once again greatful. As I understand it, there is a two button pen plus "eraser " out there which was originally made for IBM, but which will work with the Note 2, with all three buttons (2 on side and one on top) usable by the apps hilt in on the Note 2 as it currently stands. Is this true, or just a rumor. If true, what us the name or model number so I can order? Just figured it would nit hurt to ask.
Again, thank you for your help. Your first note above has helped me a great deal and has made fools of both the phone's maker and the service provider, and I guess myself as well for thinking that either would be if any real help.
Regards, Dan
I think it kind of sucks, but when you have a large company with so many different devices (I mean, look at the number of tablets and phones that samsung puts out vs apple), there are bound to be a large number of people who don't know because they won't care (samsung's fault for not reinforcing it more the way apple does) because they're a large company as stated.
Is this it?
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Stylus-Galaxy-Eraser-ET-S200EBEGSTA/dp/B00A3XUT6Y
I think Samsung also sells it from their online store as a mobile accessory (so you can use the promo code and get like 50% off).
I have this pencil myself, it comes from Samsung and works like a charm. The upper end works as eraser (if supported by the app) and it is better to handle than the original one which can remain inside the Note.
I just got back from bestbuy after asking them if anyone else was complaining about the I/O performance issues of the TF700T (seems to be an issue with the entire TFP line up).
They showed me the Galaxy Note 10.1 and I have to say it looked impressive. It was very responsive the sylus was nice and the multi screen feature seemed pretty killed (being able to manipulate two apps on screen at once). There was also a way to have overlays of running apps. For example, you could watch a video and have it overlay on top of the other apps you were running.
The whole demo experience was extremely smooth and it looked like it had 2 GB of RAM (I haven't dived into the other specs yet).
The build quality seemed a little cheaper for sure (plastic vs brushed aluminum) but all in all I was much more impressed then I've ever been with my TFP or TFI...
The Transformers / EEE Pad might "look" pretty on the outside but I'm quickly find the parts inside are simply subpar.
If they made a Galaxy Note 10.1 with a keyboard dock with a USB port and SD card I probably wouldn't look back...
How about you guys? is there a way to get these features on all Android tablets? Or are they exclusive to the Galaxy note?
Thanks!

Well, Samsung's "Multi-Screen" feature probably requires a lot of Samsung Framework that would have to be ported to use with our tablets. On the other hand, there is something called "CornerStone" by Onskreen. Same concept as Samsung's "Multi-Screen" feature. There were I think two builds for the Transformer Prime, but nothing for the Transformer Infinity. I, personally don't know how to port anything but maybe a port will come along sometime in the near future?
Hope this helped you!

Cornerstone is dead. Google killed it. And with Asus' IO issues and 1GB of RAM multitasking on Asus tablets would be challenging.
"When the Android team, specifically software engineer Dianne Hackborn, saw plans to implement Cornerstone into the next version of CyanogenMod it became abundantly clear that there were those at Google who did not want this to happen. Hackborn’s comments regarding the announcement began as a plea not to implement a potentially disruptive system and ended with direct threats, complete with consequences should the team move forward with Cornerstone."

I can only agree with Barry. Cornerstone is dead, and most likely scenario is that we will never see multiscreen on the tf700. If running app side by side is important to you, you shouldn't get the Infinity at all. There are only 2 options for you: Note 10.1 and Windows RT.

Side by Side is cool feature, but personally I didn't use it much when I had Note. The main reason was side by side worked on only selected apps. For instance, I could not do two browser side by side. I could not read ebook/comic and watch browser flash movie. Polaris was supported for multiscreen, but if I wanted to use other office application then not supported. Though definitely was good feature on paper, but personally felt restrictive, and not as much practical use as I wanted but could be totally different if your use is mainly involving the supported applications.
What I ended up doing was I still used Overskreen, which is available for any android device. And watch flash movie along with reading book etc. Also with Overskreen I could do side by side two browsing. Built in movie player on Note actually allowed floating video, which was cool and useful. But this can be done with market software for any device as well.
Having said this, I think 2GB Rom would definitely help Note even using Overskreen or other floating applications. So if simultaneous multitasking is your major interest, Note is definitely something to consider.
But eventually when Samsung's rumored P10/Nexus 10 releases (probably 2 to 3rd quater of next year my guess), I think most users will converge onto the device from Infinity or Galaxy Note 10.1.

Yeah had a major headach when i woke up this morning:/ Next time I'll stick to just hard liquor.
You may have something there. Although as much as l would like to take the plunge I may find myself missing some of the components the Infinity offers (Hd screen, Keyboard dock with extra batt/sd slot, Hdmi port). I consider myself a Cinephile and ultimately I would be unhappy if I moved away from the HD screen. And extra battery life.

Wouldn't be an issue if this POS had some reduced disk contention - Thing is about as unpredictable as my wife.
The really annoying part is that the disk is locking up yet I have 200-250 MB of RAM free....
The TFI is not getting multiscreen but it could at least hopefully get proper multitasking =)
I have both devices. I have updated my TF700T to JB but for some reason find myself picking up the Note 10.1 more than the Infinity. I'm not sure why, but the Note seems to just feel better in my hands. Also, front facing speakers do wonders for movie watching. Most vids I watch don't need a HD screen, but, yes I miss it when I'm not watchng on the Infinity.
I don't really use the multiscreen feature much I actually use Overseen all the time. The stylus for the Note is real handy and hand writing recognition on the Note is excellent. I think I'm going to have to do a couple of factory reinstall on my Infinity to get it running real smooth. It's just not there yet even with JB. I do have fewer crashes (browser and email) but on the Note, I never have any!
Hello
I'd like to buy a stylus for my s4. I'd prefer one with a fine tip and if it could coffee for me that would be great.
I've seen youtube vids with the c-pen working on the s4. Reviews on "big book shop website" indicate that this pen works pretty good with "high sensitivity" set in the s4 options.
I continued my search and found the BHM5100 for the note2 with fancy bluetooth headset function. I realy like it but haven't found anything if it works on the s4. I'd be sattisfied if the headset and the stylus/pointing works. I don't need any special-note-exclusive functions.
I anyone of you could help or has some advice please share it

try this. Incipio Inscribe DUAL Stylus & Pen for Samsung Galaxy S4 have a finer tip than most stylus on the market. You can get it from Amazon
I think that the c pen also works nicely...

It does! Works fine with the s4!
I think i'll buy a c-pen.
I tested the default note2 stylus and it didn't work. So i guess the fancy bouetooth headset pen i mentioned in the opening post isn't going to work either. Galaxy note pens have a small white plastic tip that doesn't work on s4 displays.
Thanks for your participation and advice.

it's because the Galaxy note has a wacom display the s4 doesn't. the pen only works on wacom display

C-Pen
I realize this is and old thread but...
From what I am reading it sounds like the C-Pen for the S3 works on the S4, based on that I found a link for a C-Pen really cheap.
For the price ($5.59) I ordered one, we'll see how a\it goes and will report back.

I've been using the Targus Slim Stylus and even though it's not a fine tip I find it worke really nicely, so I'm sure the others would.

I haven't tried one of the finer tipped ones but the fat ones work very good. I would just like to have one that is a bit easier for doing fine stuff like image editing and drawing.
From what I've read the C-Pen supposedly works well on the S4, that's why I decided to order one.
My C-Pen arrived today, needless to say it does not work very well on the S4.
It seems to work fine for hand writing and freehand drawing but for other things not so good.
For example the soft keys at the bottom of the screen does not recognize the pen at all.
When tapping on the screen you have to tap fairly hard or it doesn't recognize the pen.
I also tried increasing the touch sensitivity but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Again, these are my observations. It may work for you but my bet is that you won't be happy with it.

I just realized in my previous post I said "S-Pen" I meant to say "C-Pen".
I edited the post.

I bought one of these and... well, it's not really that great. It's nice having a fine tip and all, but the screen doesn't really respond very well at all to the tip. I have increased the sensitivity of the display but I still have to use a good bit of pressure for it to respond. I would say it's because it's going through two screen protectors (I have a Zagg invisible shield that I never removed and a LifeProof case) but my mom has a $2 stylus from Walgreens that works flawlessly.
Hey guys, i stay in india and would like to purchase the stylus from flipkart. As i was browsing i came upon two of them.
Check out this MobileStyli on Flipkart! - http://www.flipkart.com/item/STSDRRFSESWAHD4F
Check out this MobileAccessoryCombo on Flipkart! - http://www.flipkart.com/item/MACDTYVFB4FMSHEP
The firsr one is only the stylus for rs.300 and the second one is a package for s4 which includes the stylus, case and the aux cable for rs.450
I dont know if the second one, although its reduced from rs.1100 to rs.480 and getting a good package is made of good quality.
Which one do you suggest?
