Hi guys.
I am looking into getting an Android tablet.
I have been looking around, but I cannot decide. So far, Samsung 10.1 or 8.9 are winning, since I have had Galaxy S1 and now have S2 and I am satisfied.
But the show stopper for me is lack of making phone calls and sdcard slot.
So, what would you suggest in this case?
I will be getting in in Christmas time (xmass present to myself)
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Samsung galaxy tab 10.1
I bought the Xoom over the Samsung 10.1 simply because of the slow updates from Samsung. I absolutely love it. I also own the iPad and I almost use my Xoom exclusively.
Hello!
I would like some help choosing a tablet to get.
Here are some requirements:
Should have a large developer community
Good battery life
Preferably AOSP (or close, like CM) available
Sound should be good
Video playback should also be good, preferably, .avi files should work
Have a 10.1" screen
Money isn't really an issue, neithers is size/weight.
I have been considering the Xoom, but the whole atrix uk update issue have been making me slightly scared of motorola (the hardware is awesome though).
Any ideas? Which tablet and why?
Thanks for your help!
Take a look at the galaxy tab series.
Personally, I think I will get the 7+.

I wouid recommend galaxy tab 10.1.
Hi,
is this a good idea to replace a HP Touchpad running CM9 with a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1)?
I ask because I dont understand why Samsung put only a 1GHz dual processor.
Should I get something else ?
Thanks !
PS: The real question is not the money. Its a gift for someone who needs a great display and long battery life. And of course, you can suggest another brand.

Advise on a tablet.
Hey guys, noob here, first post, hey all - pleased to be here
I'm after a little advise, hope you can help. i'm looking for a tablet for my mum for her birthday. I am based in the UK and am looking for a tablet that will run
1. Tescos online shopping and others ASDA etc. i believe its a uk locked app this has caused me some problems on a chinese tablet (an onda vi40) that has now been sent back wouldnt run even after running the build.prop mod
2. Iplayer, 4od etc over wifi. i'll be honest my router is a draytech and its a few years old now and the wifi isnt gr8 on it. iplayr etc run from my samsung s3 fine, xbox live works well too in the livingroom.
3. Browse the web.
not demanding processes i know but thats all she needs it for, video out would be handy if she wants to watch it on our living room tv but that important as long as the rest works.
i am stuck which tablet to get her,its going to be an eBay job, just confused oin what to get. i would lean towards the samsung (because of my phone n how good that is, at the moment) and HP touchpad kinda puts me off because of the bad experiance i have had wiht the onda and because the touchpad wasnt designed to run android. just a little careful after what i have been through witht he onda
thanks in advance

The omap in the tab 2 while clocked lower is still much faster than the touchpads cpu. Its also very similar to the galaxy nexus which makes it easy to port ROMs to. I have used cm9 on both. Its much smoother on the tab 2 than on the touchpad. Cm10 is also officially supported on the tab 2?

Hey guys,
I have been off and on here since I have had a T-mobile G1, but never got too far into the programming side, just enough to be comfortable rooting. I was wondering if anyone knew of a developer/team that has been working with ROMs for kids tablets? I saw a couple threads on rooting the Nabi 2, but I am more interested in being able to pick up cheap used tablets (Galaxy tab 2, etc), rooting, and throwing a kids rom on there. I have a galaxy tab 8.9 that I will be upgrading soon, and if possible, would love to convert to a children's tablet for my two year old. Any info is appreciated.
