You enjoy spending 600 bucks on your giant iphone.

LOL apples the fucking joke now. Same interface and features from 2007. What a great product....

If you don't want innovation ... buy a giant iphone

Okay, instead of making another thread, Ill piggy back this one...

I'm looking for a tablet, nothing fancy really and a 10'' screen.

There's these off brand I saw on eBay

10 1" Mid Google Android 4 0 Tablet PC WiFi 3G Camera Capacitive Leather Case | eBay

Kocaso M1062 Dual Camera 10 1" 8GB Capacitive Touch Tablet PC Full HD HDMI WiFi | eBay

Cobalt S1010 Android 4 0 10" Capacitive Screen 16GB 1g RAM HDMI WiFi PC Tablet | eBay

Just don't understand what good or even decent.

lol I was going to start a tablet thread today as well. It seems like the more reading I do the less I know what I want

Is there any good review sites? I know cnet and engadget are solid but I really want like a table that lays out every feature and does a side-by-side comparison of every tablet.

Right now I'm leaning towards the Asus Infinity... but like he said ^^^ I don't even know what's good either.

I own a Asus t700 and i love the tablet

Been thinking about getting a tablet lately, whats the current best android one? Still nexus? I am not an apple user so dont bother mentioning.

I have the galaxy tab 2 7inch with LTE and I love it.

Are you looking for wifi only or do you want a cell connection? The main reason I went with the tab 2 was specifically for the LTE and having a connection pretty much everywhere. Also it was only $10/m more on my bill

 

[ktraver97ss]

Just wifi

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

size? 7 or 10?

 

[ktraver97ss]

Leaning towards 10 since plan on using it at the house on wifi most of the time, and for movies. Major reason for getting this is to keep Jack entertained on the 12 hr plane ride to Peru in a month. A new "toy" with a buncha kid apps should keep him from ruining everyones flight. lol

 

[Kaeghl]

well the kindle fire is pretty good for the money.
if not you may want to check out dx.com
its sort of a direct buy kind of place. I bought a tablet there a a while ago at the time when most tablets were 240 or so this one was speced out the same for 150.
shipping takes like 6 weeks though.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

lol for sure.

Personally if i was deciding on a 10" id go with either the Nexus 10 or the Transformer TF700T. The nice thing about the transformer is you can buy the keyboard dock with it to add USB ports and a keyboard and like 6 extra hours

Nexus 10

10-inch, 2560x1600 display
Dual core ARM Cortex A15 processor
Android 4.2 "Jelly Bean"
5 megapixel rear-facing camera, a 1.9 megapixel front-facing camera
Choice of 16GB and 32GB.
Battery life of 11 hours

Transformer

10.1-inch 1920x1200 display
Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor
Android 4.0.3 "Ice Cream Sandwich"
8 megapixel rear camera, and a 2 megapixel front camera
Choice of 32GB or 64GB
Battery life of 9.5 hours

I also saw this while searching : "Ainol Novo 9 Spark". its not name brand but for the money ($229) it has really good specs and seems to be getting some good reviews.

9.7-inch 2048x1536 retina IPS display
Allwinner A31 quad-core CPU with SGX544MP2 GPU
Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean" compatible with 4.2
5 megapixel rear camera, and a 2 megapixel front camera
16GB storage

Id also pick up a power brick like this (mine is black) so that you can recharge it if it dies.

Amazon.com: Snow Lizard Power Tek Charger White-7000 mAh: Cell Phones & Accessories

 

[ktraver97ss]

Cool, those were the 2 I was looking at, really like the transformer but not sure I want to spend that much, esp since my 2 yr old could drop or damage it.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

ya if you do id spend the extra money at best buy and get the accidental warranty on it. or buy a nice case that seals the unit instead of just wraps the outside

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

or 799 for 128G ipad 4 retina

I like my galaxy tab 2 7. Doubles as a tv remote control w/no additional hardware. Already have an Iphone don't need another..

Just saw a nexus 7 16gb $150 for refurbbed which seems like good deal. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300915071056

 

[ktraver97ss]

I dont know about refurbished electronics, dont want a shitty battery or anything annoying wrong with it.

 

[ktraver97ss]

Although this looks like a good deal.

Asus EeePad Tablet - Walmart.com

 

[ktraver97ss]

or this one ASUS Transformer Prime TF201 plus Docking

That looks like a good deal! I wish it had a SD card slot though.

This thread caught my attention again on picking up another tablet.

I have been looking on craigslist came across a couple deals on galaxy tab 2 and a nexus 7. Both have pros and cons.. I am torn!
