Sadly, an iPad II. I seriously don't know what possessed me! At the time there wasn't really an Android tablet that appealed to me or that was available in my country. I desperately want to get rid of it and replace it with a new Galaxy Tab. iOS is crrrrrrrrrrap! You cant even do simple things like Bluetooth files from one device to another! Some of the apps and games on iOS are ok but as for the functionality/customisability, it is non-existant!
I have the nexus 7 32gb version. Before I had the Asus transformer.
Both great tablets but I fancied a smaller form factor after a year with a 10.1 inch tablet. And I could not resist the 7's price tag either! Especially after I tried a friends one at work one time.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and Acer Iconia A500. Both running JellyBean. Got my Note a week before my Nexus 4..Its been a good month for me and Android
My entire collection is listed in my signature. Just can't bring myself to get rid of anything

HP Touchpad, finally got CM9 running stable on it and there is also CM10 roms out there that are nearly as stable. This device was a great deal for those of us who bought it during the fire sale.
None at this time, trying to get a chinese tab with RK3066 chipset

Nexus 7 alternatives with similar specs & price?

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.

Looking for a new tablet...

I've been looking in to buying myself a tablet, but I want one that's fast and smooth running. Ipad is great because of how smooth it runs and transisittions between pages, but I want something that my S4 can interact with. Any suggestions? I'd like to root and flash ROMs on whatever tablet I end up with so obviously ipad and surface are out. I don't know much about any of the others out there so any help would be fantastic!

One of the new Nexus 7's possibly? It's pretty much universally agreed that it's the best if not one of the best Android tablets on the market right now. Also, it's super easy to unlock the bootloader since it's a Nexus device and the development community around it is huge.

Agreed, I had the first generation Nexus 7 and absolutly loved it! Im hoping to get the 2nd gen somewhat soon. And they are very cheap compared to iJunk tablets
I thought the Nexus devices were phones.... Am I just that dumb? Lol... Can these tablets be purchased at a best buy or only online?

There are actually 2 Nexus tablets on the market right now... the Nexus 7 and the Nexus 10. The 2013 Nexus 7 is an excellent tablet you can buy directly from the Play Store or other places online. The Nexus 10 is also worth considering if you want a bigger tablet, and it also has the BEST speakers of any tablet on the market. Personally, I'm waiting for them to come out with the "updated" Nexus 10 like they did with the Nexus 7. Either way, as far as Android tablets go, they are both winners. The only other tablet I would recommend taking a look at is the new Samsung Note 10.1 - it has a gorgeous display and all of the productivity power of the Note software and stylus. It's just a little too pricey in my book though.

As far as performance goes, what would you guys suggest? I don't want something that seems laggy or gets bogged down by putting too much stuff on it.

I would get the Nexus 7 2013 model. Can't go wrong with that one especially for the price!

Go on youtube and watch pocketnow's videos on tablets. They have the best reviews/comparisons and will help you figure this out fast.
Can't go wrong with a nexus 7 2013. I own one and it really is butter smooth and definitely worth the money. It's also my first tablet. Great investment!

Yeah I think a bunch of these devices had wifi issues. Pop on over to the Nexus 7 (2013) forum on XDA for details. The 7's are great and inexpensive but ASUS isn't exactly known for their QC. Good luck!

If you read the OP he wanted a tablet that would work well with his S4 and wanted some suggestions. I don't see any problem with that being posted here.

[Q] Nexus 10 $190 at Walmart? To buy or not to buy...

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.

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

Mine is fast anyway. But Im wondering how to do this?

Is it still a good option?

As nexus 9 is manufactured by htc and there is no more htc products being sold in my country (Samsung literally put htc out of business here) and I will travel to Orlando on the 25th January, I ask you:
Is nexus 9 a solid purchase?
I ask this question because I am struggling to choose between nexus 9 and z3 tablet, so what are your thoughts on this?
I've had bad experiences with the 9 although by far the best tablet I've ever used

Thank you for your unput!
By the way, when you say it is the best tablet, what is your opinion about day to day usage?
Nexus 9 is awesome

I Went from a xoom(on launch day) to a nexus 10(week after launch) to the nexus 9 and am very happy. I thought after years with a 10.1 screen I would hate the smaller screen(i had tried both model nexus 7s) but since I mostly browse the web it pretty much renders text the same size because the nexus 10 in landscape always wastes a lot of screen one each side with blank bars. Very happy with its performace but wouldnt mind a 9.7 screen like the ipad and touchpad but its a great compromise with portability compared to the bezel king nexus 10 and chunky old xoom.

+3. Such an enjoyable tablet to use. Finally an android tablet that I feel I can use instead of my laptop. Definitely recommend.
