Tablets, tablets, tablets what to choose? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys i am looking to get a tablet for my wife for the holidays. its almost black Friday and there are so many on sale out there. My local shopko has the Coby MID7015 on sale for $99. I did some research and it looks like after some root work i could hav netflix and android maket working on this just fine. Is this my best bet for under 100? any one had/have one of these? any info would be great.

I was android tablet shopping about a month ago and I looked at a lot of different ones. Budget and premium were considered but it boiled down, for me, which one was going to be best supported now and in the future, along with build quality.
The nook color is what I went with and I got mine the weekend before the price drop (got my adjustment).
It is double what you want to spend but you can use the stock ROM, install Cyanogenmod, MIUI or even Ubuntu and these are easier to install than a desktop OS.
The nook tablet is the same form factor as the nook color so there is and will be lots of cases for it which is nice. And the caribiner lets you personalize your nook with charms or tassels or whatever.
Not knowing you or your wife I will add the nook has nice branding behind it and is easily understood by other people what the device is.

^^ BUMP ^^
So I thought I would resurrect this thread from the depths and put the question out there again.
Which is the best Android tablet to purchase at this time?
I've had my eyes on a refurbed Motorola Xoom from Newegg. Even though it's older it still seems to be a solid performer.
The Asus Transformer line has caught my eye. Love the idea of begin able to turn it into a netbook.
Suggestions from the community?

GTablet or Xoom?

I'm sorry if this has been posted before. I would like some advise as to whether I should buy the GTablet being that I'm confident with Root and Roms and is only $300 on Amazon now or whether I should save a bit more and get the Motorolla Xoom. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Personally, I know one person that bought a Xoom last week, and he returned it after 1 day. He had nothing but problems. It kept freezing and rebooting. I tried to talk him into a Gtab, but he ordered an Ipad2.
I pondered the same thing and ended up going for the gTab, and have no regrets. Basically, I decided that the Android tablet market is moving so fast right now, that anything I bought would be largely obsolete in a few months ... and I felt way better about spending $300 on something like that than $600.
My only suggestion would be to play with a gTab first if you can, to make sure you're OK with the narrow viewing angle of the screen. (I am.) Other than that, the gTab and the Xoom are surprisingly comparable machines.

The gtab is a wonderful device for the money. Despite the hype about the xoom and honeycomb, the device is not that much better than the gtab. For more than twice the price of the gtab, you are getting a little better screen and a buggy and laggy OS. Honeycomb really is a 1.0 and it is still full of bugs.
That said, I highly recommend the ipad or ipad 2.
Wait for the transformer. I like where Asus is going with this tablet.
I know I know, off topic ;-)
I played with the xoom and it just made me happier to have my Gtab.
I would wait a bit longer as there are several other tablets coming out soon; probably the most anticipated is the Asus Eee Pad Transformer rumored to be sold for $400.
The gTablet is a great 'tinkering' device and if you have the dough now $280 is a good price for a 'toy'.
If you want something serious then I would wait to see how things shake out since there are a myriad of new tablets out this year.
I wouldnt even consider a xoom with the acer A500 coming on the 24th.

Get a XOOM if you just don't care about wasting money
I have both
I have both a 3G Xoom and the Gtablet. Actually this is my second Gtab. I dropped the first and broke it. I then purchase a Xoom to replace it, but I missed my Gtab and replaced it on the Woot sale.
I don't have any issues with my Xoom all the apps I normally use run just fine on it. The screen is fantastic on my Xoom. It the best screen I have seen yet on a tablet. Even so, I still use my Gtab more than the Xoom.
Running the new GB rom from gojimi the Viewsonic is as smooth as glass and the touch sensitivity is perfect. The tablet is fast and dependable. At this time I personally would not buy a Xoom if I had to do it again. I would wait until some of the other tablets hit the market, which should be very soon. I would compare them all and then decide.
I believe we will see the price drop some on the Xoom as the new tabs are released. I am not saying that I would not buy another Xoom, it still would be at the top of my list. It is a Google experience tablet and Motorola is an American company, both are pluses to me, but there will be a lot of options available shortly.
Thanks to the developers here at XDA the gtab is a great value with the current pricing. Honeycomb needs some work in my opinion before it is on par with gojimis VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition. The gtab is also a relative inexpensive tablet for a noob like myself to learn how to mod on. I guess for me the bottom line is, I have more fun with the gtablet then I do with the Xoom.
Thank you so much to all! I will wait till the transformer comes out and if its as expensive as the xoom I will go with the Gtablet as it seems the best buy for the money. Thanks again for all your quick replies!

People buying the prime. Did you already own a tablet? The transformer?

Just wondering what the tablet demographics of the people buying the prime are.
I don't have a tablet so this will be my first one! Was initially going to get the original but with the craziness at launch I just didn't have the time and effort to get one so I ended up buying a sweet BBQ instead.
never made a poll here before so hopefully i get it right..
edit. well that was easy!
I bought a G Tablet in November last year and had it for a couple of months. It was OK, ran well, but it was clunky and the screen sucked. I was also really disappointed at the lack of HDMI output. I don't think I'll be let down by this sleek beauty.
This'll most likely be my first tablet.
I'm playing the waiting game, to see how the first production batch works out, then I'll probably pick one up.
I've waited this long because I believe that Android really needs the power of a quad-core behind it, to really shine on a tablet implementation.
I have the Transformer, wich is my first and only tablet. I'm loving it, especialy for the dock and the overall expérience, the support from Asus and the enthousiasm from the community.
But It's not perfect, just like the first ipad, iPhone, Nexus one and every first génération of a great product.
So I'm going to buy the Prime cause I think it's a big leap forward, then sell my dear Transformer to someone else (maybe for chrismass if I get the Prime before).

I'm interested in getting the Transformer Prime (not that they're even up for preorder here yet), but I've never had a tablet before. I'm not sure where a tablet would fit into my life, but with the dock it becomes an Android netbook with a tablet option, which seems like a much more viable PC companion to me.
Currently own TF1 and pre-ordered TF2. TF1 was my first real tablet. Before that I had 7" Galaxy Tab but did not use it much. I also own Ipad 2, which I have only used once and did not like it. On the other hand I love the TF1 specially due to the dock and the convenience of use. One thing that it lacked (for me at least) was the support of high def movie playback and now that Tegra 3 has fixed the issue, it is definitely worth getting.
This will be my first tablet. Was going to buy the TF in the late summer and decided to wait for the Prime.
I have a Motorola Xoom & I will bepicking this baby up pronto lol..here's some vids i saw today...

I am buying mine because it looks like a fancy toy that I can spend some time on.
I'm overall new to tablets but the Prime looks like one great device I can't pass up. The dock brings a full qwerty keyboard, extra battery and the usb port witch makes it more then a big phone (imo). It also gives me something to do when my girl friend plays the Sims
This will be my fourth tablet. First was a Dell Streak, Viewsonic G Tablet, and Motorola Xoom.

I have an OG ipad, TF101 and will be getting the TFP. I rarely use the ipad anymore and my wife just got an ipad2 yesterday.
Love the OG transformer. Other than the initial dock battery issue I love this it. Its great for everyday use and has given me almost every reason to not have a netbook anymore. When I'm on the road all i need is something to browse XDA and techblogs mostly and pounding out a few emails here and there.
With the TFP I'm really hoping that the gaming market will increase. I have all the consoles at home but last time i really logged into my ps3 was about 5 months ago. I dont have too much time to game anymore but i love the fact that i can pick up my tablet and practically leave off where i ended last time. I'm just hoping for more games.
This will be my first tablet. I've been drooling over the first transformer (I want a mobile device for media, a bit of note-taking, and fun), but I had to get the money. By the time I got it the prime was due to come out... So i waited !
Kindle fire was/is my first tab.
I wanna get the tp. But I got Christmass for a family to deal with

This will be my first tablet. I've been waiting the market out for a while as well as the release of the one Android OS to rule them all - ICS.
What will be interesting is that my wife has an iPad2 so I'll have the opportunity to contrast and compare first hand.
This will be my first tablet. iPad just didn't do it for me.
I have a SmartQ T10 which I bought for roughly 150pounds after exchange when I was in China for business.
It was a test that to see if I have any use of a tablet, looks like I will need one for many years to come.
I currently have a ViewSonic gTablet, rooted and running Honeycomb 3.0. It is a good low-cost yet quite capable tablet, but the viewing angle limitations on the screen and lack of ongoing support from ViewSonic are cause for me to consider another tablet.
Looking forward to the Prime!
This is my third tablet, having initially bought an Advent Vega (to test out if I would even have a need for a tablet) which was then followed by a first generation transformer. My wife will be getting my transformer to replace her iPad which she sold. While undoubtedly the latter is a more slick device, it was ultimately too limiting for her (coming from her laptop with its higher resolution display therefore involving less scrolling and due to the lack of flash which she needed mostly to display products on some of the shopping sites she frequents). She wasn't that keen on Android at first because it felt 'too different' but I think she's come around to the flexibility.

Oops. Can I change my vote? lol I forgot I had a rooted Nook Color. No need to change though as this will be my first real tablet that was meant to be a tablet.

Completely off topic but wanted an unbiased audience.

Ok so I recently broke my Archos 10 and I'm looking for a new tablet for school. I have the choice between an HP touchpad or a Nook Color I know development is stronger on the Nook but I like the larger screen since I'm coming from a 10 inch screen. Basically a asking in those two forums would be pointless since they own that device so Evo 3D/ other device holders which one should i get?
Please note the SCHOOL part... I'm a broke student and don't have 400-600 to drop on a new tablet
neither, Asus Transformer Prime is the best tablet.
Touchpad all the way, the asus looks dope for a few hundred more though. The nook is great, but a little small for my tastes

The prime is actually 499 for the 32 GB version. Not too bad.
What do you need it for in school? If it's for taking notes you night really want to consider a cheap netbook.
I just got a Nook Tablet(the new one not the color), development isn't really rolling yet, we do have root and google market. But it does have a great screen and killer battery life(like 10 hours of continuous life). I've found that the 7 inch size is a lot more portable than I thought, Most cargo pants can fit my nook in there and it turns out most of my jackets have at least one pocket that can fit too. It's $250 so its pretty cheap. If your really on a budget there's the kindle fire($200) too.
I picked up a WiFi HTC flyer NIB over thanksgiving for $200 and its a great tablet. It's in the process of updating to honeycomb and it sure is pretty fast. I also own a touchpad but I use the flyer for all school notes because of seamless integration with evernote.

This man is right. The price to performance ratio of both the nook tablet and kindle fire really can't be beat. They can pretty much do everything that the $500 tablets can with only half the price.

I will try to answer your actual question and feel that I am pretty qualified to do so as I own both of the products of which you speak. Between the two, if you want to get work done, I would go with the HP Touchpad. I am running the CM7 Alpha 3 XRONified (custom rom based off of CM7 a3) and it is pretty darn stable. I had been using google docs through webOS to take notes and such, but now that Gingerbread is pretty much stable, I am using Quickoffice Pro (thanks amazon free app of the day). I did purchase the BT keyboard when I got this so this really helps. The NC absolutely has had some amazing developer interest and I have been extremely happy with what I have been able to get out of it, but some are really beginning to move on. In fact, Dalingrin who is one of the better known NC devs is now a TP dev and has mentioned that he believes that ICS will run a lot better on TP than NC (duh!). However he said part of the reason is waning dev interest.
I guess if you want a "proof is in the pudding" statement. When I just had my NC, I carried both my 17 in laptop and my NC with me to school and the only school related thing I did with my NC was to display speaker notes when I was giving a presentation. Now I only bring my TP and BT keyboard with me. My laptop stays at home for heaving lifting (though I have a new smaller and lighter laptop) and my NC has been relegated to being an ereader.
I had more I wanted to write but lost track, but please let me know if you have any more direct questions that I can help you with.
Okay. Here is what you really want.
You want the Asus Transformer 1
The first Asus just had a Black Friday Sale for $250 and the price online has dropped.
You can easily get a used mint condition Asus Transformer 1 online for about $250. It is the best device I have ever purchased. With the keyboard dock it is amazing. You just can't beat a tablet for school that gets 16 hours of battery life.
Here is an example of a cheap one on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-Eee-Pa...=US_Tablets&hash=item2c61489954#ht_500wt_1156
Check it out, I had the touchpad, it just couldn't beat the dock. The dock is stable so you don't have to balance your tablet while you type, it gives you more battery, and usb and sd card slots for transferring files.

This would have been my advice since I also saw the $249 black friday price. However, who knows if it will be that price again anytime soon. Plus he is looking at about $100 for a dock. So now, assuming an absolutely best case scenario, he would be spending 150 more than he was looking to spend. This is why still went with the TP.
Also, the TP doesn't have a problem balancing with the HP case (or any trifold case for that matter).
Agreed transformer 1 is the way to go and as was said you should have no prob finding one for 250 - 300.
I have an acer iconia 500 and for the price you cant beat it. Quite a bit of dev action and its a solid hc tab.

I do like the size but battery isn't much of a factor since I have 6 hour classes and being an EMT would make this great in terms of size and portability

Wow! This actually made my decision easier the only thing I was unsure of was the use of Bluetooth keyboards and compatibility which would make notes and portability much easier compared to a netbook/notebook
I would go for a newer tablet like most of you are mentioning but since my biggest factor is price a $150 32GB HPTP is my best bet since its for notes and books and its not too expensive
Thanks for the input all

No problem. Also, the HP case is great, but you can get unofficial ones that will work for only a few bucks off of ebay. The main advantage that the HP case has is that the bezel is exposed which is important for the gestures available for WebOS. If you are just going to use it for android, though, this becomes a lot less important. I have the HP BT keyboard and it works great, but I am sure that you can use any BT keyboard. Also, if you can find a touchstone for cheap it is not necessary, but nice but you can wait on that since you are trying to save money.
I would be careful in getting your hopes up though, I don't think that you will find a HPTP for only 150 anymore. I looked at ebay and it looks like it will cost closer to $200
Ah I thought you wanted to be under 400 but yea 150 for the touchpad is tough to beat. Out of budget but just to give u something else to look at Bestbuy has the transformer on sale for 299.
www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp...p=&qp=&list=n&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960
I personally have the touchpad. With the update HP pushed out a few weeks ago and some of the pre ware available, webos really isn't that bad to use and the browser is, I personally think, the beat browser out on any tablet.
Then, when I'm not in school or on weekends, I boot into android for the apps and the fun.

i have the NC and touchpad like Drachen808
i agree with his statements, the touchpad is superior in every way and it has fantastic development behind it
I think I would go with a Flyer for $299. With the stylus you could take notes, it's a nice 7" form factor, etc. I wouldn't bother with a Fire or Nook (either) if you are planning to take notes with it.
On the flip side, the iPad 3 and more quad-core Androids will be coming out very soon, which will either provide a better option or it will drive the price of these older ones down.
Why not get a Kindle Fire?

Cheap tablet

I'm going to buy one... Thinking about the n5zero (5inch) or the nova 7 paladin (7inch), I'm buying just for playing some games, read some book, and flash a lot of roms.... I'll have any problem to flash roms or root? These things came with the boatloader locked or not? I'll have any problem with this? Or it's going to be normal and easy as a normal device? (I'm not a noob, I know how to root, flash roms... I have same experience... But just to be sure...)
Ah, if you have another idea for a nice tablet in the same price (60- 120 dollars) it will be welcome...
Thanks a lot and sorry for the bad english...

Wait until later on in the year, around April - May. nVidia and ASUS are releasing a tablet for $249 with Tegra 3 (Quad-Core, of course), 1GB of RAM, and it's got a nice resolution of 1280x800.
The idea of cheap tablet may sound tempting, but there wont be developing community backing it up. So in the end you have a device with same android version forever.
Go for big manufacturers like asus, samsung, motorola.
Refurb Nook Color can be had for $129 and makes for a nice little tablet, I'm running CM9 nightlies on one as we speak, it's got a really good dev support / following.
I'll second the nook color. If you can get a refurbished one for under $150, it will beat the pants off of anything else in that price range. The display is one of the best at any price, and the build quality is exponentially better than any of the Chinese tablets.
You mention flashing custom roms - the cheap Chinese tablets don't usually have any. If you are really lucky, the manufacturer might put out an update or two. The nook color, on the other hand, has dozens of custom roms and tweaks already and plenty of people still working on more. Check the nook color development section yourself and see what I mean.
I have a arnova 10 G2 , I brought from carphone werehouse for 135 pounds.
I have added all the google staff to it ( archos hate google ) its fab .
Is it a cheep tablet , yes.
Do i look at Emails etc only on it , yes
Does it have the same power as my Desire...a wee bit less!!
Wil I put ICS on it.. one day !!
You should consider the Kindle fire. I'd also suggest looking at the htc flyer. Its a little above your price range but I think it's a great tablet. At $120 your goIng to get what you pay for, a really lousy tablet that will be a waste of money because it sucks so much. Better to spend a few extra bucks and get a useable tablet.
You should save your money, at that price point you will get an unusable POS that no custom ROM can fix.
If you can find an BNIB HP Touchpad for $100-$200, then I would grab that sucker. It runs 1.2 ghz by default, and can be overclocked to 1.7 (1.9 works too, but its unstable), and it's dual core! It's super fast with android on it, and currently has a couple unofficial builds of cm9 running smoothly on it. If you don't want to wait, the hp touchpad is a great choice. Gotta get it brand new though, as they've been discontinued and "repaired" units often involve cracks next to the speaker.
Some no name tablets will see little to no developer support so watch out for that. For your budget I would consider a Nook Color refurb. It has pretty decent dev support.
I have a no-name tablet with nice specifications for the price (Cortex A9), but it doesn't have community support. It's a pity because you can get bored easily.
kindle fire can be rooted and use android
Yeah.. I'm getting the kindle fire... The touchpad is to big for me..

Nook Tablet, imo.
I have one. $250, double the specs of Kindle Fire.
It's fully cracked now, I'm running a fully-working CM7 on it.
Also, I think ASUS' $250 Tegra 3 tablet is a myth. They just teased it to stop people from spending money on Nook and KF.
And if it ever gets released, that price won't be awesome at that point anymore. By that time those specs won't be anything special.

[Q] What tablet to get right now?

In light of the imminent iPad 3 launch I was seriously considering getting one.
When I told a friend he asked me: "Why an iPad?". My only answer was "I guess I'm brainwashed.".
Thus, I decided to browse around for Android tablets. I quickly found that there are very many of those.
I have an HTC Desire HD and am quite happy that there are still ROMs being made for it. I would like a tablet with at least a 10" screen. The price should be less than $300. What can you suggest that has good chances of being supported (on XDA) for a long time?
I've tried both kindle fire and nook tablet within the last two weeks and I'm keeping the nook. For $250 I had it home, rooted and running cm7 in less time than it took to drive home. I believe its a good value right now.
Isn't that like 7" only? I'd much prefer something bigger because I want to read PDF files without stupidly scrolling around!
Well, i have reveived my order from SpeMall for Ainol Novo 7 Elf two weeks ago, all 5 pieces of ELF are works fine and looks great in black... it's my second time to deal with them, i bought a tablet from spemall by the end of last Oct. i must confess i had doubts placing an order from a chinese website, but i had a good experience with them. Very nice.
It's a nice little machine, all works well for Internet surfing, music, youtube, skype....I think it will burn to the ground the kindle fire and the nook tablet
The iPad 3 will be well over $300. What are you comparing Apples with?
The only 10" Android tablet worth getting now is the Transformer Prime. Period.

+10000 The Transformer Prime is hands down the most incredible Android tablet out right now.
To the OP, what are you primarily looking for? Is it more important to have a tablet that is 10"? Or a tablet under $300? Or are you willing to come up from that price for a tablet with better specs?
Hate to break it to you, but you won't find any new 10" tablets that run for under $300. Most start at $400 and just go up from there. Unless, I guess, you search for refurbished, used, older models, etc. Otherwise, if you want to stay under $300, you are looking at a 7" tablet.
