cool, source?
Canonical today announced ubuntu for tablets which gives more clarity about their plans for the whole eco system. It will be available the same day as they release the phone version for galaxy nexus and nexus 4, february 21. The cool thing here is IMO this:
http://youtu.be/h384z7Ph0gU?t=5m4s
Obviously they show this with the asus padphone in mind but then they show how it also will work as a desktop OS, and further on a media center. So Ubuntu will have 4 different "skins" depending on the usage situation. Imagine the S3 with ubuntu in combination with MHL/allshare + bluetooth keyboard and mouse or most preferably the official multimedia dock giving you USBOTG and MHL simultaneously and this finally will be able to make the S3 (and other phones) the one-device-to-rule-them-all that I've been hoping for since I got it in june.
What I don't know is if there will be problematic with the exynos sources not available, can anyone shed some light on this?

Hi,
I am at cross roads between the Nexus 7 or Asus TF300.
Currently i am proud owner of Galaxy Nexus and totally love it.
I like to read articles, blogs, Movies, Videos online on my phone and therefore looking for a tablet with a bigger size than GNex.
Transformer TF300:
The pros i see in TF300 is that it is expandable with keyboard dock, USB, MicroSD, MHL support are a Big Big plus for me.
using MHL i can output stuff to my monitor something i do with my GNex every now and than.
Nexus 7:
The Nexus 7 felt really well in my hand and since i use GNex the experience should be pleasing.
The problem with GNex is lack of MHL (big one) and lack of MicroSD, SD support, no keyboard dock going forward.
Both have Tegra 3 and same resolution.
So what do you guys think?? is the Transformer TF300 experience the same, smooth and painless as GNex, Nexus 7 or is there a difference.
Should i go for Nexus 7 or TF300.
Thanks
Nexus for fast and prompt updates..

I Googled, Youtubed Slimport and Nexus 7 and nothing came up.
So i called Google tech support and the guy i talked to told me that it HAS MHL, I told him it doesn't
He went back and checked/asked someone and agreed it doesn't, than i asked him to check about SlimPort so he put me on hold again and asked someone and they said it doesn't have SlimPort.
I know the Nexus 7 will get better updates and is a lot cheaper, but with no microSD, no SlimPort and MHL which are important for me, as of now i am pretty inclined towards TF300.
I will head to Sam's Club in a day or 2 to check them out side by side as that's the only store where i saw both tablets in close proximity.
Ubuntu Just released this video showing off their new OS for tablets. In the video, they are using what looks like a Nexus 10. But what do you guys think? Would you use this if we were able to put it on our TouchPad? Don't know if that will be possible. But just asking to see what you guys think of it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h384z7Ph0gU&hd=1
EDIT: Actually, I dont think our TouchPad meets the minimum requirements. But I guess we will see.
Good article on Engadget as well... looks promising
Just read this too, on omgubuntu.com really hoping it can be ported!

If this is running on top of the latest version of Ubuntu for ARM and seeing that there are working versions of Ubuntu out there for the Touchpad, then it seems possible we would get this assuming its source code is released and someone is willing to port it. Their requirements are a bit steep (2GB RAM and Cortex A15 processor), but seeing that they are providing a test version for the Nexus 7 which is 1GB of RAM and quad core A9, then the Touchpad may be fine (not sure if the Touchpad is A8 or A9 or if that would even matter)

I dont believe its running on the top of anything. Its its own OS. I'm hoping it could be ported to the TouchPad. I'd like to try it out.
Apps...
1. If my app isn't on Ubunto, well...
2. Webos was there...
3. But i think, windows 7 will be my last tie to Microsoft, if my app is on Ubunto.

Actually the Touchpad has an A7. Here is a link comparing versions: http://www.bdti.com/InsideDSP/2011/11/17/ARM
That said, I like the new layout and just hope the Touchpad can run it smoothly. There is already a functional alpha of Ubuntu 13.04 for the touchpad (in the Other Development forum), so I can't imagine it will not happen.

This is something I am really hoping can happen.

That is normal Ubuntu without the tablet interface but that alpha works really nice though. I'm an Ubuntu desktop user since 2008.
i would so love this. I want to check out this new mobile ubuntu so bad and would rather flash my touchpad than my galaxy nexus.
Here's hoping someone picks it up and makes it happen.
This is a good video of the OS running really well on the Nexus 10.

Straight from Ubuntu's website, details are coming tomorrow about porting Ubuntu Mobile to other devices:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
Also of significance is a bunch of Cyanogenmod hardware code showing up on: http://phablet.ubuntu.com/gitweb
I wonder if this means it will be easier to compile for devices supported by Cyanogenmod, which would make a Touchpad port much easier.
Awesome can't wit to try on nexus 7:good:

Its the real deal. You can get this on any Nexus device right now. Just be aware, its not fully functional. Its just a preview to show off what it will feel and look like when it is done. And if your a developer, it gives you something to test your apps out on. Thats it.
Hopefully, once the OS really matures and becomes functional, someone will build it for us, seeing as its just as easy as building CM 10.1

The only problem with that is that we don't have CM10.1
CM10.1 is completely do-able for the TP. Many other devices using the same chip set are now into nightly builds. Its just a matter of setting it up for the TP. CN already as an alpha build in 4.2.1 for testing.

10.1
I can not wait for 10.1 will be nice to be able to port Ubuntu to the touchpad.
Oh I'm excited and love a beautiful interface!
Pretty solid so far and you never know...the dHacker29 and Hashcode have already begun work on Ubuntu for the Droid Bionic and to me this means anything is possible.
All I need now is a way to running something like Safestrap and boot multiple builds on my Touchpad with 32gb of storage. I could see running webOS, JB, and Ubuntu for Tablets on my Touchpad. Sorli...
Hi guys, from day 1 I was like wtf is going on with this Ubuntu One and this old Nexus 7 model, I mean I do understand to support both but when they support only old one , well that's not right. So news came another day that Ubuntu One will officially support new Nexus 7 model instead of old one. I have a question about desktop environment. What I'll need to have complete experience, like to have my nexus 7 connected to monitor and have mouse and keyboard. I guess mouse and keyboard is Bluetooth and monitor is that SlimPort Tech.

When Ubuntu Touch debuted it was 6 months BEFORE the 2013 Nexus 7 was released.
Ubuntu One is cloud storage.
Day one for you is like day 357 for those of us who have been following this from the beginning.
Hi guys,
I just received a few hours ago my Nexus 9 and I checked both, Slimport and MHL but doesn't work. The Slimport device works fine with my Nexus 5 and my TV but the Nexus 9 doesn't work.
Cheers.
Worst nexus device ever.

I'm very disappointed with this issue...
Maybe could be a problem with the inside configuration of my Slimport, I had notice that some Slimport works fine in some devices but doesn't work in others due changes inside micro usb port (different cable connections).
But still.... In my Nexus 5 the Slimport works absolutely fine....

somehow it seems you hit the nail. i was very waiting for the nexus 9 and i am so disapointed what i see about it that it makes me really sad. this device is so full of wrong decisions, irrational design flaws and build quality issues that i am nearly speachless. and then it is quite expensive for the few it offers.
it is quite "interesting" that the nexus 6 PHONE gets 3GB ram, upto 64GB rom and the 64bit os nexus 9 only 2GB and a zram swap using 512MB to gain a little bit by compression >.> and then it seems to have some issues with otg, lack of micro hdmi or slimport etc.
i don't get it. what's the point htc? trying to debut as the worst nexus manufactor ever?
Terrible. This is the final nail in the coffin for my "should I get the Nexus 9" decision. Glad I got the Shield Tablet at release and will stick with that for a while now, probably until Nvidia release their next tab.
I have a Google answer about this but I can't post links after 10 post
In google groups, in product forums go to Nexus 9 and find mi post named "Nexus 9 and Slimport doesn't work"
They said to me that the micro usb port doesn't support video output.
Hi guys,
So if I get everything right that means : the new Nexus 9 doesn't have wireless charging. It doesn't have support for MHL nor SlimPort.
OK : maybe it's really handy with a Chromecast key... but that's a foul limitation.
Chromecast simply does not work when you have no Wi-Fi.
I'm a professor.
I teach at University.
I want to be able to show .ppt presentations to my students.
But I don't always have a network, or the LP to the University network.
So, I just can't do it ? While I coudl do it with my Nexus 7 2012 ?
That is a huge step backwards... and I think for that simple reason I won't get the Nexus 9 but will try to find a nice N7 2013 LTE instead...
Chances are, I'll have more functionnality and pay less than the half !
The real sad thing about that is that the "Nexus Legend" is vanishing... Not fading, but melting like a snowflake in August !
Bye Bye Nexus... Loved the N4, loved the N7 2012, loved the N5...
Regards.

Haven't Google announced that Chromecast will work without a WiFi network in the last google IO?

Hi,
Well, it might be.
Shall investigate this further.
Anyways, I don't think the Nexus 9 will make it to my door : too expensive for a feature limited tablet.
Regards.
Likely just not a popular thing to have. I have a slimport cable that i just never used for the past year once I got chromecast. Now i understand I'm not a professor with that specific need. if that's a deal breaker I'd just return it get a 2013 N7 and spend the $300 you save on something else. maybe a shield tablet. Tablets, tablets everywhere!
I have plan to sell my Nvidia Shield tablet and buy Nexus 9 LTE .
Despite the low price of Shield tablet but there are some drawbacks .. Specially the poor WiFi signal and lack of accessories, and really it well
Are there any offers for nexus 9 LTE ?
Mostly I'm going to use it for taking notes , how is nexus 9 with Stylus ? Any suggestions and experiences here ?
If i can get the WiFi version, do I can use 4G usb modem through OTG cable ?
I can't quite tell what you're asking here, but you are not allowed to buy/sell/trade on XDA anymore. You may use your login/password on Swappa.com
As for your other questions, maybe someone with experience can answer
The Nexus 9's K1 doesn't have the Direct Stylus tech from the Tegra 4, so using a stylus will not be the same. I have a stylus that I tried for an art app, but the precision isn't there. As for writing sentences, you'll have a hard time drawing clean letters.

Your better off going with a Samsung Tablet if your looking for a Tablet to use a Stylus with.
