New Purchase :: Nexus 7 or TF700

Hi Everyone,
It's been a while since I've been on XDA so for give me if this is in the wrong place. As It covers both devices and is not related to development activities as such I thought this would be the correct location.
Anyway I have had my eye on the TF700 for quite a while then the nexus 7 was released though I am still leaning in the direction of the TF700 but I want to get other peoples opinions on the matter, especially from anyone who has had a chance to use both. So please if anyone has experiance with two device I would really like to hear your comments, and or suggestions.
Also does anyone in the UK now what shops are demoing these devices, i will be checking out my local carphone warehouse this weekend to see if they have the nexus 7 as I don't think anywhere has the TF700 in the UK yet.
Anyone got insider info on what shops maybe stocking the TF700?
Thanks for your time and will see you on the forums.
Cheers

Hey there, I think you may want to put this in Q and A but I think a mod will be about to do it anyway. And there are many threads dedicated to x or y type question.
Welcome back to XDA if you haven't had a welcome back yet.
Anyway, I would say get the nexus 7. Support and updates for that would be through the roof. It is also great value for money.
Sorry If that isn't what you wanted. Hope you enjoy your purchase anyway. :laugh:

Thanks will ask the question in the thread mentioned above; If a Mod wants to kill this one that be fine by me.

Get the nexus 7

nexus 7!!! obviously

Well answer the question yourself by answering these questions.
Do you want a bigger screen or better portability?
Do you want something with a large memory capacity without anything hanging off it? Or cloud if you have good bandwidth?
Do you want more power for future games ie 1-2 years from now?
What ports do you need?
Do you want frequent updates, and lots of development?
Do you want to spend the extra cash?
Both are good devices, but you're comparing apples with oranges, so pick a fruit

[Q] Best online website to buy tablet safely?

Hi,
I was looking at buying a Ainol NOVO 7 Mars as it suits all my needs. I am just unsure where to buy it from.
Does anyone know a reputable website to purchase it from? I ran across a few but have no idea if they are legit or not.
Also any opinions on the tablet itself? I know its single core but I think thats okay for me (just looking to read stuff on it mostly, ebooks, lecture notes, etc.)
Cheers for the help guys!

I tried multiple stores and I can recommend spemall. Pandawill is another legit store.
As for the tablet: I had an Ainol Novo 7 elf. Same specs basically but single core. I was quite happy with it so I think it should be fine. Of course spending a bit more and getting a Nexus 7 would be even better
//edit:
Thought it was dual core. Seems like it's similar to the old elf. Anyway, even with single core it's good. Don't expect it to react like lighting all the time. But for that price it's a great tablet. You should spend some time on ainol forums (slatedroid ie) to get the most out of it with roms.

Hi - I bought my Ainol Novo 7 Basic last November from Merimobiles.com it was a good price, quick ship and good customer support. They always respond quickly to questions I have. They are good about keeping firmware and updates up to date on their site for your device and you can subscribe to their notification service for your device, and it will send you an email when there is a new firmware update available.
good luck with your Mars.

ipad 4 vs android vs windows rt

Hi everyone,
I hardly post here, usually find what I need via search, but this im stuck.
My 1st tablet was a tf101 loved it, moved on to nexus 7. 2 weeks ago my not so better half stood on it and smashed the screen. I need to replace it. Not too keen to buy another nexus 7, its getting on and I'd like a change.
Here's the dilemma, no questions straight away I knew I wanted a nexus 10, BUT its unavailable in my country and although I'm in Australia right now google play cancelled the order I made due to paying with a New Zealand credit card. What do I get?
Ipad 4? Never used iOS but scared I wont like the walled garden (love to flash and tinker)
Surface or other windows rt tab? Same prob as ipad but with added prob of lacking apps.
Other android tab? Really like the nexus devices, note 10.1 has too low res and tf700 I/O problems.
Really don't know what to do here, worst case I'll buy another n7 since they're cheap and wait till I can get something I'm happy with.
Thoughts please
Thanks

Sorry, but you should ask here mate:

If you want a really new one even if it doesn't have the best specs you can get the moto e, but if you want a really solid phone that isn't exactly supported by google but is capable of a ton for ~$100 then the galaxy nexus is a great phone and you can get them new for about that price unlocked.

note 2 verizon
Note 2 verizon can be found for $150 on ebay if you watch watch watch.

[Completed] [WHAT PHONE] $200 android for Rooting & flashing ROMs.

Jan 2015 I bought Oneplus One used it for a year and finally sold it on Jan 2016 and bought iPhone 6s 64GB for more than $1000. Since then Ive been using it and frankly Im terribly disappointed and frustrated by the whole iOS eco system. Not to mention the higher cost of same Apps vis-a-vis Android.
Im now planning to get a second phone, an android, for my love of rooting and flashing custom ROMs and for changing more than a wallpaper in the name of customization. And eventually sell my iphone after a year since selling it now will cause heavy depreciation loss to me.
Ive set a budget of $200 to buy a custom rom happy android phone, please tell me which phones should I consider. Im open to used phones too.
Please note that phone should have rich custom rom development activities.
