Hi all, I bought a Nexus 10 for my daughter for Christmas and she loves to draw. Can anyone recommend a good drawing app?
Also, is there any special kind of stylus that I need to buy for it to work on the Nexus 10?
Thanks in advance :good:
It's not free, but SketchBook Pro for Tablets is quite good.

Hmm i just got this and its pretty cool but it seems impossible to use unless you have a stylus. Has anyone tried a stylus or tried multiple and found which would be best with the nexus 10 and possibly the nexus 7?

I think I got that app for $0.25 during that Play Store event a few months back; but in any case, it is a real nice app Zooming does seem terribly laggy though at times (talking like 1-3 second delay), but someone quoted a message from Autodesk saying they were aware of the issue, and that N10 optimizations were coming.

Finally found one in my local Walmart, Massapequa NY if anyone is interested, but it was a 32gb, not the one I could easily afford right now. Had I not bought the Note 2, this would be a different thread. So damn close. My major concern is that it would be to heavy and/or big to be comfortable. Of course I couldn't open the box to get a better idea either. So frustrating.

For what it's worth, I find it really comfortable to hold. I have average-sized hands and, admittedly, not the strongest wrists. I don't find it too heavy at all--marginally lighter than the iPad (3rd Gen) that I used to own. Fits in my hand nicely, and the tacky rubber housing helps. This is for both portrait and landscape.
It does look humongous in portrait mode, though, but easy to hold nonetheless.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. I probably would have grabbed the 16gb and smooth talked my girl, but $499+ right now... Probably wouldn't have gone over so well. My Big concern is will I use the damn thing? I just want one so damn bad though!!

Very useful.
I get more reading done and efficiently on the Nexus 10 than I do with the actual textbooks. Not sure why I still buy the textbooks when I have the digital/ off copies though...

Almost every Staples I've been in that sells tablets has a display model of the nexus 10. Could always go in one of those and poke at it with it in your hand to see if you like it!
I didnt know that, I damn. I have to go check it out. Thanks.
G●Note~2 {Jedi X5}
Well, my device warranty was almost over so I damaged it to bring it in to get a new one because hey, I paid 50$ for the warranty, I'm going to use it. The device was a trooper and it took a lot of effort to actually just crack the plastic lining surrounding the screen and peel it off to look like it broke. I took it into best buy and found out they didn't sell them anymore and I was heartbroken. They comped me 210$ in credit. I ended up getting the GS3 for 50$ with a Verizon upgrade.
The player was my first Android device and it is what got me to love android. Ever since, I will never go back to apple. You guys made the experience twice as amazing because of all your hard work in getting ICS and JB working on the device. You were all so helpful whenever there were problems with the devices and it's what got me into learning how to develop (even though I'm still really new to it) and I love it. I'm even in the process of making my first AOSP based ROM for the GS3!
I am still going to be hanging around in these forums and helping if I can. I really wish all of you the best of luck with the development of the device and your lives.

One of them would only boot to the samsung logo. Quick reinstall of the kernel, recovery, and rom, and good as new. Sometimes people dont know what they have. And ther is always the chance that it would be hard bricked or just dead. I have had pretty good luck though.

Actually that is because you are pressing and holding the top right side of the screen. If you press and hold the top left hand side, the brightness will go all he way down.

All android devices (well atleast the two samsung ones i have used) do that. what it is is when you press and hold the top of the screen, it will change the brightness. it has gotten me out of a jam a few times.
No trolling!! Thinking about moving to iPhone?. I really like the design since the iPhone 4. I love big phones phablets. I love android I'm a neutral. But recently Apple's new gold iPhone caught my attention, not just the design but updated internals, I know I know, overpriced. Not as open as phones. But is it really bad to try something new, see if they really talk true about how perfect the iPhone is? Please no trolling. I recently was offered an iPhone 5 64gb in trade for my ultra. Let me know your thoughts guys. Thanks

Lol, I mean yes. Restrictive and small. But games and apps are more popular and big names like Disney and stuff like that, my daughter likes to play and not much of that is available on android.

If you're not feeling the borders of restrictions due to your way of usage, then its just about the screensize. So if you want a way to use the apps, then go for an iPad Mini.
Gives you the best of both worlds.
Disney option for your daughter, and a good phone (XZU) for you.

There is nothing wrong or bad about the iPhone. It is the best out of the box solution for most people. No need to add apps or do more than minimal set up. It works and works well. Not for me though-I like big screen, customization, variety of apps and the ability to experiment. Android is less defined and more challenging-a tinge of excitement in an otherwise mundane landscape.
Android is more defined and less challenging than ever-it's losing its edge. With CyanogenMod going corporate, hopefully someone new will step into the captain's chair and boldly go where no one has gone before. We are talking Smart watches, Google glass, flexible phones and credit card phones that slip into your wallet. Maybe a phone implant with your hand as the dial pad? What about a phone you never touch? Sounds like something Steve Jobs would like to do. After all, Android fell from the Apple tree.

Weird, Android was created 4 years before IPhone and by a team of 4 people who never worked for Apple.
This is a really personal matter. But if you like phablet, you have the best of it in your hands. The guy who offer you an iPhone 5 against your XZU know what he is doing. He would be all winner.

Urm, sorry, but android was only in beta in 2007, not released publicly until 2008, iOS was mainstream in 2007. And Eric Schmidt came from Apple. Just setting some facts straight.
I think for a child's needs, iPhone is a lot more suitable. Has better security and apps. But agree with above poster, get her an Ipad and keep the ZU for yourself!

Android was actually meant to power printers back in the days, and then they concentrated on making it into a smartphone OS - but with physical buttons like a good ol' Blackberry. Then when the iPhone got released, they scrapped all of that and went with the touchscreen experience. A smart move, but Android wasn't the first touch friendly OS.
But let's not make this thread into a flame thread. OP is curious and is thinking about jumping ship. I was an iPhone users before I got a Desire HD, and it was "fine". iOS is an okay OS for what it is, but I quickly grew tired of its restrictive nature. I jailbroke and what not, but let me tell you that things that isn't "native" to iOS ("widgets", and other springboard mods) ran like complete ****. If you want a simple and straight forward experience, then iOS is the perfect solution. I've recommended the iPhone to a lot of friends who only send SMS' and do simple things. If you're an advanced user that likes to modify and actually DO stuff with your device, it'll be hell on earth.
If you want a PHONE, get an iPhone. If you want a flexible DEVICE, keep the Ultra.

I dig apple products. I own pretty much every apple products, except for the iphone. I had the first gen up to 4s. I needed big screen phone because of poor vision..hence the Note1. But now im a much happier camper with zu.
Iphone5 for the ZU? Heck NO. 5s maybe.
I very like iPhone 5s hardware specs...it's sick....nothing to say.
To each of us their own... I'm quite happy with the Ultra, could be perfect if Sony fixes the SOD. Nevertheless I was playing with the 5S yesterday and it's silky smooth, couldn't avoid imagining it with a bigger screen... But that doesn't exist, so far there is no perfect device but at least we have plenty of options.

Yes. That's what I'm saying. The iPhone has an amazing design and the internals are eye candy. I would go with like a 32gb since no sd slot. I see the iPhone as a more professional device.

aww dat sucks, oh well hows the da to day running of the tab? is it efficient, much lag?
I have been using it for reading and browsing mostly and it works really well. One thing I noticed is how accurate the colors are on the screen. I compared it to my Nexus 5 and it seems the colors are more accurate on the Venue. (I compared my favorite teams colors.) I think for daily activities this tablet works good thanks to the speedy 2Ghz processor. I haven't done any gaming though. Overall, I like it.
Oh, camera doesnt have flash and the shutter is slow. But I'm not gonna be taking pictures with this thing

Wow, so I got to play with one of these today and while I like the size, my goodness the screen was unusable. Not that it wouldn't take my input its that it would hit somewhere else on the screen. It was a floor model so naturally it was messed around with and in German but I could not for the life of me get the Gallery app to open.
I want to have tablet as a portfolio of sorts for my photography so I wanted to see how images looked. Sure I could get the Nexus 7 with its higher resolution but I like the size of 8" tablets. That 1" really does equate to more screen room. Heck 7" isnt much bigger than my 5.2" phone. The only real other options are the Samsungs Tab/Note which I am not found of and the LG Pad/Tab 8.3 which would be my first choice except the price.
I should receive mine in the next few days! Hope that a dev will also get one and start looking at it

May have been a bad unit or may be it was lacking the firmware updates (there were 2 since launch). The gallery app works as it is suppose too. While the resolution isn't the best compared to a 1080p screen the colors look very good. Not in "saturated" good but in "natural" good. You're right about the extra inch: 8 incher feels more like tablet than the 7 incher does.

I think 4G models will be available later.

Good find. But seems like thin info and unless I don't know about them, I don't believe there are any models with 4G as noted.

as with all newer phones and tablets, remember tech companies like samsung, dell acer, etc like to push out updates for their newest devices first then going backwards to slightly older and continuing till they want to cut em loose with the updates. so that means 4.4 will be released to the venue 8 is thats only inevitable, the question just remains when? maybe not till holiday season is over though simply because im assuming dell is gonna have a goood ole time keeping up with production once tomorrow and the weekend hits.
who knows? just enjoy it till then.
so excited for toorrow to order
btw how long does shipping usually take? (if anyone ordered in in canada yet)
I found a nexus 10 for 190 32gb new at walmart. I only have a touchpad running 4.4.4 that is just OK. This tablet is 2 years old though, so is it a good buy?
My opinion would be yes.

If I could justify buying a second Nexus 10, I would. Get it! At that price? Get it! Get it! Get it!:good:
Yes. That sounds like a steal.

Does it matter that it is not quad core? I like everything else about it except how it will stand up to the future.

If you want to future proof it you just have to change the resolution to 1080p, boom, your tablet now runs the same way as a SGS4
