There are a number of good threads in this and the Q&A forums that are much more eloquent than I could ever be, but yeah, I have barely (and then, only reluctantly) put my Xoom down in the month and a half since I got it. It's so easy to unlock and root and there's a lot of development happening for this tab. Plus, it's built like a tank.

Thats it..There was something at this gadget that i love but cant put my finger on it.
But you said it for me. Its like a tank!! Like they built it for the army or something. And its a fast one

I know I'll probably get stick for this but these threads really bother me. There are probably 50 of them going right now. Just take the time to look at the ones that are already open, my guess is you'll learn more about the Xoom than just starting another "Why should I buy the Xoom" thread.
because it's rad and you're a geek.
ok ok. Still have 1 week to decide.
yes I'm a geek And i really like tanks.
it was this one or the Galaxy tab 10.1.
I think as long as you stick with one of the android tabs you can't go wrong. In my opinion it blows other tablets out of the water, so far as user community, and potential for development.

Galaxy tab 10.1 is like a plastic toy soldier, well all plastic really, and the ONE magic do-all propietary port. hurray!! Xoom has micro-HDMI, micro-USB with host mode, and the charging port wich is the same as nokia's but on a different voltage...
And yes there are plenty of threads like yours around you should read them or you might get the gods, trolls, orks, rats and critters upset.
Because ipads and OVERATED! Simple.
you should buy a xoom because i bought one...Nah
Because android is freedom.
Curious about rooting and what roms/kernels are compatible since there isnt a dedicated section for the PLUS version, Any links to rooting and roms/kernels would be great
No answer for your question but I like to be the first to congratulate you from the xda members and we would like you to give us more details about this magneficant machine I hope it will be my second tab 3g version

yes, there isn't a dedicated section for the 7.0 plus yet but a lot of people are posting in the tab 10.1 thread. As for rooting, it should be the same procedure and same root.zip as the tab 8.9
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330581&page=3
just ask away and ill do my best to answer and thanks for the link!
Got one too about two Weeks ago, what do you think of yours? I love mine!
Sent from my GT-P6210 using Tapatalk
deff the device of choice in my book. i had the 8.9 for a lil under 2 weeks and returned it for this when it was released and im deff satisfied with my purchase
The root was simple using the same method. I wonder if we'll see any development, it seems like everyone is waiting for 7.7. I mentioned this in another thread but one nice thing is how this will play just about any video as opposed to Tegra tablets. And the battery life kicks the Acer 7" across the room, not to mention build quality.
Oh and the Peel software is surprisingly good!
ya i love it! i think 10 inch tablets are too big, a 7-8 inch tablet is right in between a phone and a labtop so i think its alot better. no better 7 inch than this one thats for sure
Came from original Galaxy Tab w/ GB ROM. I just got mine, too - interested in root. my RAZR has a new buddy.
Just got one too... love it.... plus better than 10.1 cause we have exynos
i tried the Peel app last night. First thing it wanted to do is "update" itself, but now it won't complete setup as it keeps FC'ing as it's trying to figure out my receiver. I wish it would set up like the harmony app for my 1100 - it seems to make some assumptions of how my theater's set up and i can't workaround the wizard so it never finishes setup.
Would be better if i could tell it the model numbers of my devices instead of trying to "help" me.
Just wonder if some Droid wizard here can extract HC-Rom & load it on the regular 7" tab...?

Please post the link to download the file for 8.9 tab to root it
Just picked mine up also, gonna root it here in a minute, so I'll let us know anyone know if there is a cyanogen port yet?

I really hope the Galaxy 7+ gets its own dedicated section on here. This is an insanely powerful device and wit the correct ROM it could be even greater.
I also feel the 7.7 will probably not be out until summer of next year. It makes no sense for Samsung to bring it out any earlier as that would kill the sales of the 8.9 and the 7+. It would be a shame if this tablet didn't get more attention considering it is the highest end 7" tablet on the market right now.
I an barely find accessories for this thing
How can we ask a MOD for a dedicated section for the 7+, that way we're not stuck searching through the 10.1 and 8.9 sections?
Also as far as roms go it sounds like we'll have to wait a bit, the source kernel has been released by Samsung so nothing stopping a developer, but we need a developer that has one of these and wants to work on it. (I'll donate to your tab plus fund, if you're out there!) In the case of the 10.1 and 8.9 the roms are mostly the same and can be interchanged once the .boot file is changed out for the correct device, but I think since we're going from Tegra 2 to Exynos if we want a ROM for the 7+ the procedure will be a lot different. Something about the cifs.ko file... Anyone know that that is? lol sorry pretty noob here, I just flash droids and nooks for my friends and expect xda to have all of the answers already...
Edit1: looks like you can just upvote over at another post and if we get enough votes the mod's create a new section for us.
Hi guys. Im just wondering if your tab creaks a little bit when you press the left side of the screen where the micro sd card is located. Thanks

Definitely not. My old Tab7 used to creak in a number of spots. Not this one.

How hard are you pressing?
I just put mine in my chair and sat on it. No creak. (Well, the chair creaked some.) There was an sharp "crack" sound, though.
Doesn't anyone elses tab make a sharp "CRACK!" sound when you sit on it?

Got it today and like it very much except for a couple of things so far.
1. No charge indicator light on device, charger, or charging cord. How do you tell it has finished charging without turning it on?
2. Apparently cannot view gmail full screen in either portrait or landscape mode. It keeps a list pane open on side of screen. Most annoying and I can't find any way to make it go away.

I agree with what you said, the galaxy S3 seems like the most logical choice. It is running android 4.1 and is the definitely one of the nicest looking and most functional phones out there.
Sony experia s.
LG Optimus 4X HD
Kinda like asking what the best color is, no? It's a very user specific question, every phone has a little something different. But I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3 right now and absolutely loving it. So if the S3 is one of only a few choices, I'd go with it. Good luck!

Specs would tell you to buy the Note 10, more so if you have a couple of Samsung products at home AND intend to keep most of Samsung's functionality (ahem! bloatware). Even more so, If you intend to root the thing, you'll have a powerful machine without the crap Samsung puts on it, and built-in pencil... Samsung products are made to be rooted and delivered from bloatware... unless you need all of the features.
Versatility and inputs/wired connectivity (with the kb on) would probably go to the Asus transformer, but in some ways one could think that tablets are better off without keyboards, and that a number of inputs and wired connectivity are meaningless in most modern environments. Still it is an amazing product by itself, too.
If you're familiar with rooting the device, then I guess the biggest argument for the Nexus, a Pure Google experience out of the box and early upgrades on stock ROM, don't matter much. In this aspect, add in the lack of SD support, and the Nexus can suddenly appear like an aggravating choice.
But I think that in essence, all three are basically the "same product", in respect that each should be as fast and enjoyable as the others. I also think that this market is laid out in an obvious way : if you take the time to think about what you intend to do with it, what you need, and compare all three offers, one will rise above the others. And if it's concern of buying a lemon, or the "wrong" product, that's stopping you, then rest assured that you are looking at the top of the market, and all three products can satisfy just about any user.
Thanks, great response! Anyone else?
Well, it was of little help, but at least it is an answer...
But I just found this, and I think it could explain why nobody else cared to answer so far :

Nexus isn't mentionned by the OP, otherwise it's what you were looking for to begin with.

Hey people I'm looking for a phone, that is super easy to root ?Also must have an high end music processor, also would prefer oled display. Sammy is my top choice, Motorola second, Sony third. see the thing is i use a Tab S LTE 8.4 as my daily driver and it is a bit big it does get in the way of things
I do own a Samsung galaxy S8+ but I don't wanna root that as its pretty awesome the way it is, stock does kind of rock. I'm after viper 4 android on the phone so what would you recommend and why ? Thanks
Well The J Series Must Be What you are looking For.I Use an old J7 and gt-i9060i as Guinea Pigs to Test Things You wouldn't Do.Bought the J7 for about 200$ on Olx from a Guy.It's a Nice Device Amoled Good With Battery And Got A Few Roms that Could Turn.
But If you are looking for A Great Time.Nexus 6P has got the Best Devolper For Mods,ROMs and Stuff.
I am Going to Barter J7 with My Cousin for a Nexus 6P.

Pixels are good to go for modding since they come with the pure AOSP from google and devs wont face problems developing for these device, i prefer you take a look at the spcs yourself to see if it fits you

Google(Nexus/Pixel) devices are usually the wisest choices for those that absolutely must have root and/or custom recovery/ROMs because they are easy to unlock/root and/or flash and usually get custom development sooner and more diverse than other devices.

Go for Google pixel and Nexus devices. They are easy to root and modding. You can easily get custom roms, recovery and kernel.
Would highly recommend Nexus 6P
