I love the prime, but it is a bit larger than I what preferred.
If you guys had to go to a 7" tablet, what would you guys consider?

The tab 7+ is a crappy tablet. Overheats, crappy TW lag, no ics, case creaking etc.
It has been discontinued already.
Acer has a new 7 inch that is below $200 and has ics
and a tegra 3. The A110 seems worthy for the price.
Personally, I would love to see what the nexus tab is gonna be like.
I would wait and see what the Nexus 7 Tab will be like.

these two brands right now i think has some of the best android tablets out there right now, if i were to go with asus i would probably get the tf300 or the tf700 infinity, maybe the tf201 prime but the inifnity is the one i want most but is kind of pricey, and if i went with acer it would be the acer a510 or the a700 they both have very good battery life but get very heat, i read somewhere, so which tablet should i get? please dont have to much of a bias towards asus. i want it to be fair, im getting rid of my iconia a500 i want a tegra 3 tablet
Asus for me love it
Asus all the way.

Well for me it would come down to the Infinity or the A700. Prime would be out of the question because it is apparently gonna be the same price as the Infinity. But out of the A700 and the TF700t, the TF700T would have to win. Its much nicer looking in my opinion and I have heard the A700 can be a bit laggy running the 1080p screen.
Hope this helps.
Do the Acer tablets have the I/O problem? All the Asus tablets have terrible I/O performance because of software and slow internal memory. That causes lag everywhere when an application saves or reads data from internal flash memory.
samsung
The new Toshiba AT300 (in the U.S. Excite 10) also get good reviews.
I guess it's basically the question, do you want the keyboard dock or not...
If you do, asus is the only real option atm afaik... If not I'd seriously consider acer. (Owning a TF101 and TF201 myself btw).

the Toshiba AT300/305 is a very good Tablet atm, one disadvantage: there is no 3G version

I would go with Samsung and their Note tablet if you can wait they seem to have their products running pretty good (Galaxy S3) with their hardware and software, and they have good development here for their devices. I wish the Samsung Note Tablet with their CPU and hardware was out when I was deciding what to spend my $650 on.
I would wait before purchasing an Asus tablet again and see if they can fix their I/O performance problems if I were you. The Prime, Nexus 7, TF700, yeah they look nice but looks can be very deceiving as we know (Example= Prime).
IF Asus ever gets the I/O problems fixed then the TF700 or the Nexus 7 could be good choices. I wouldn't buy anything from Asus (Tablets) until you see if they can fix their current issues because if they cant fix the Primes performance they wont fix the TF700 of Nexus 7.
As an owner of the Prime I feel we were basically beta testers for the TF700. I refuse to recommend any Asus tablets after being used as a beta tester they got me once but not going to happen again. The bad part is I had to pay $650 to be beta tester!
Tablets are suppose to be a fun enjoyable experience not as frustrating as its been with the prime, we keep hearing they got an update coming out that's going to fix all the issues, but every time we get an update it does not deliver!

I doubt it. the rear camera was cut out to save on costs. Even without rear camera, its a great deal.
There is a slight chance that down the road, once manufacturing costs drop for this device, they "Might" release a revised version with rear cam. I doubt it though. never say never though

Thanks for sharing these thoughts..... i do agree with u.... the only thing that i love about this prime atm is becoz of the ROM i got. So lucky enough i happen to bump the ANDROWOOK ROM....

I would wait to see what Samsung is bringing next. If Samsung's next top tier tab comes with a Exynos 5250 it will be far superior to any Tegra powered device. But for $200 a Nexus 7 would be a great buy even if you end iPhone getting a 10" down the road. I bought a GTab 2 7" and think I like the size better than 10".

Yeah, thats what i thought about sizes. 7 is much easier for me. I can use it at almost places im in. I commute everyday by van, and cant get my prime out from my bag, and when taking pics, ridiculous, it's huge. But anyway, its still is useful inside my office....

I would jump on that in a second if the GS3 and Infinity were perfect condition.
Yes

I'd say a gs3 and infinity tab is definitely worth more than a Note 2. If you desperately want a note 2, I would make sure you get a bit of cash also in the trade. I came from a gs3 and while the note 2 is undoubtedly better, I don't think the difference is worth a high end tablet.

Agreed. I would never trade my Infinity and a GS3 for a Note 2. But I would trade my Note 2 for a GS3 and an Infinity.
Well I definitely know my gs3 and infinity are worth more, I like having the combo of a high end tablet and the gs3, but sometimes feel like it's to much. I'm gonna think on this one for a bit. Btw, they are both in perfect condition, and I have 2 brand new docks for the tablet thanks to the foul up by Amazon...lol

Sell it. You may like the Note 2 more but if that fits you well now, I'm not sure you'll appreciate the compromise.
you can easily sell the infinity tablet for 400 and the gs3 for 350. that's more than enough to buy the note II. I still have my inifinity though. Sometimes having a 5.5" screen still isn't big enough.

That's what is in the back of my mind as well... my hands aren't that big so a note seems like it would take a while to adjust to the size. and the screen size on my infinity is awesome. maybe this was a dumb thread to start...lol

Hi all.. I just sold my Nexus 7 on ebay because I wanted the ability to connect HDMI. Moving up, I won a bid on a Prime on Ebay, but the seller is playing nasty and I haven't received it. That being said, I'm a few days from getting my money back and am wondering if a Prime is the best way to go - after reading about a few of it's issues. Right now I can buy a refurb Prime for $299 locally, or, Sam's has a TF700 for $439. What do you guys & gals think??? Thanks for your help in making the right choice..
Still got garbage memory with lags, just like the prime. Avoid both and get a nexus.

Did you not read that he sold his Nexus?
I bought my Prime off Swappa and I don't have any of the problems that are mentioned about wifi, or lag. I have yet to play with gps as I didn't buy this for navigation. IMO, if you have the money get the Infinity. Latest and greatest and it has the abilities that you want.

Latest and greatest would be the nexus 10. I wouldn't buy another Asus with this cheap memory if my life depended on it. Yes it was the best at the time, but only because everything else sucked so hard. Now we have options.

I also have had more than acceptable WiFi performance and haven't seen all the "problems" others report. Not saying they are wrong - just that it works fine for my needs. I don't care about GPS. I went ahead and got the free Asus dongle but have never even used it. I even stayed on the stock ROM until JB came along and I lost root. Now I'm using Androwook 1.51 which was really easy and is basically the stock ROM Asus should have made. I'd agree the infinity but if you want to save the money, I think about the only thing the extra dollars would get you is the higher res screen - so you decide if its worth it to you.
I would seriously consider the Galaxy Note 10.1. I think it knocks spots of the Prime (I own both) but then I am one of the unlucky ones who got a bad egg. (just about to RMA the Prime for the second time)

Les
Are there any Android devices with similar specs to the Nexus 7? I'm looking for a 16 GB tablet with a $200 price. Don't recommend any of those generic Chinese tablets either... I want something with good build quality and full access to the Google Play store.
You can try the Acer Iconia A100. In all honesty you'd be better with the nexus. The A100 is stuck on ICS and the nexus 7 will have the latest software

I would get the Nexus 7, but Best Buy doesn't sell it. I have a Best Buy gift card that I received for Christmas. What about the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0? Is it any good?
Archos is coming out with a line of "platinum" tablets. You may want to give them a go. They're not out yet, but they look pretty nice.

Don't know much about the galaxy tab 2 but from what I read it is a good tablet. I'm pretty sure it has jellybean now too. That would be a good alternative if you don't mind touchwiz. Since Best Buy doesn't have the nexus I would choose the galaxy tab. A lot better than the Acer a100.

Iconia A100? Don't you mean the Iconia A110, cause the one you mentioned is an older model. I'm pretty sure the newer Iconia A110 has Jelly Bean already.
