Sigh..
Maybe I'll get that iPad2 after all, and just wait till the Tegra3 ships later this year to get an android.
I bet this has to do with them not having enough units to sell.

Ugh. Not driving to NYC to get this...
Are you F*ing kidding me, Samsung? I give up.. I'll wait until the Tegra 3 gear come out and buy a tablet from another vendor who doesn't play these games..
Well now I understand why JR.com and Office Max are saying they aren't getting until late June.
It's a paper launch. Bummer. I guess they don't have much supply or something.
Philly Carpool
Anyone in the Philadelphia area want to carpool?
This is disappointing, but we'll only have to wait a bit over a week more, I guess I can live with that.
I'm looking to buy my 1st tablet. Still no word on the 8.9 I wonder is this going to be Samsungs version of the White iPhone. Announce it and it comes out a year later.
I'm starting to fall into the camp like a few posters here and may just wait till later this year and get one with the Tegra3 or see what Apple has in store for iOS5 *shrug* heck maybe even Win8
I was wanting to try Android as I already have an iPhone4 and wanted to try something new.
I'm guessing it's a supply thing because I don't understand the NYC only launch. I didn't think they would do a super soft launch with this device.
This would be my first tablet too. I didn't think I would need one, but once I got a chance to use one for a couple of day I really want one.
I've played with the iPad2 and the Xoom and I much prefer the Android experience. However all these devices are still pretty new. I generally wait for a second gen before I buy.
I'd almost rather buy an iPad2 now, better resale value later, and wait till an Android tablet with more experience under its belt.
Also I'd much rather have a Nexus tablet.
I don't have to have one but could find uses for it at work. We have some printers setup in the building and with a tablet I could connect to the network via wifi, and look at jobs on the printer without going to a terminal.
Exchange emails,5250 client,ssh, ereader for tech stuff, RDP and VPN plus just social stuff I'd want to do so I at least I can justify one and I thought I'd go with the 8.9 but I don't know now.
I'm one of those that my attention will jump to something else pretty quick but as a fall back the iPad2 can do everything I'd want to do and then some.
Well, I will be right there.
I will try to look at the tablet and if the specs are as seen on the I/O units (no USB, no SD, no HDMI) then I will wait for the massess to fight to get a new 10.1 Tab, and then make my way to the TF / Iconia stand to get one.
And what is all that about Touchwiz? Is the release unit going to come with Touchwiz?
Regards.
That is sad and also explains why there are no preorders from Best Buy, Target, Walmart, etc. I'm starting to wish at least one manufacturer would wait until they have significant enough stock to launch before actually attempting to launch.
And I guess Motorola was the only one that got that right with the Xoom launch but then shanked the price.
Try the asus transformer. Amazing tablet!

By launching only the 3G version with a non-working micro SD slot and waiting months to launch the Wifi version? I don't think pricing is the only thing they shanked.
(ps. And pricing wasn't really the issue, just a lack of a 16GB model.)

Well I guess a good thing out of this is, it will force me to read the reviews for a week to see if its good or bad.

I think the fear is that if they are delaying and staggering out the launch, that might mean they have supply issues. So even when the 17th comes around, getting one might still be impossible for many.

SlashGear.com has a short blurb on the Toshiba tab. Sorry, cannot give a link at this time since I do not have enough posts as yet.
As the title suggests, seems like Samsung will release a new 7" Tab in the fall
http://androidcommunity.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-7-coming-this-fall-but-with-gingerbread-20110615/
What are some of your wish lists for the successor? I for one wished our originals were as slim as the new 10.1" Tabs.
Exynos, thinner/lighter with Super PLS screen
i dont think there is a big market for a 7-inch tablet....
Hmm why u say that?
We all have a 7' inch tablet..., but we dont need another one...
I dont know if the new version can compete with the htc flyer, let's see maybe the usb dock connector or the usbhostdrivers wateva will help us a little.

Original Tab, Blackberry Playbook, and HTC Flyer says no. As would the Asus Eee Pad MeMo and Acer Iconia A100 when they ship.
Tablets larger than 7" are great for when you are at home, but they do mean you have to carry a bag when you are out and about to put it in. 7" tablets fit neatly in jacket pockets and therefore are a much better proposition if you are intending to use it on the move.
I have a GalTab 7" and an Asus Transformer 10.1, and whilst they are both excellent devices, the TF cannot compete with the GT7 on portability, so if there is a chance of an upgraded GT7, I'm in the market for one.

Dave

+1 . but come on .. look at it from this way ...
as i'm or you the manager of samsung , do i release 2 10 & 8 at the same time or do i release 7&10 at the same time , for me it will be a big lose . specially when now the rumors comes out .. if they think to do it . probably will take a time perhaps next year , but hell no this year
NOTE : you are in 999post , do not post your 1000here

They mention;
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 will supposedly run Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread with TouchWiz 4.0 (no Honeycomb initially) and it will be able to make voice and video calls and send SMS , just like the Tab 8.9 (which does run Honeycomb).
If this is supported by the USA carriers to allow cell calls, then I will give my current tab to my daughter, and get the new one.

What about the release of the current 7 with rumors circulating mere months later of new tabs on their way? And like you said before, the 7 inch tab market is certainly more niche, so those that want updated hardware in the small form factor could care less about the other tabs and are waiting for an updated 7.
I have a friend at work that has already picked up one galaxy tab 7 for his wife about a month ago despite the other tablets that are available now. He is talking about getting another for himself soon. Equipped with this rumor, he might wait awhile to see if anything materializes.

I think 7 inches is perfect for a tablet. It's twice the size of my phone and still small enough to carry around easily. I have lust in my heart for the HTC Flyer. Not gonna lie.
I'll buy one. No regrets purchasing the 1st one.
If it is true, I am glad that they are using Exynos processor.
But for sure I wont buy new tab just couse of better processor, current one is great for web surfing+youtube+kindle+chess, they need to offer me something more. I would like to see how 8.9 tab fits in hand
Im on the edge right now of buying a tab or waiting for the the tegra 3 tablets. What do you guys think? While I had the transformer I had a lot of lag and it didnt seem like a laptop internet experience. So is the tab better or should I wait for tegra 3 which is coming soon?

It depends... If you can live without tab, then you can wait for coming soon tablets if not grab this one. TW is what rocks on this tab. Also, I'm sure you have 14 days to get familiar with the tab before returning it, until you are buying from Costco, that gives you 90 days (pretty much you can exchange it with whatever latest comes in that period)

I have an Asus TF, which I think is a fantastic multi-purpose device. However, I also bought a GT 10.1 at the end of last week, and to be brutally honest, it is a far better pure tablet than the TF. That's not to knock the TF, because it still has a lot of advantages over the GT 10.1, but I think Samsung have done a very good job producing top notch hardware and coupling it with intelligently modified software.
In my opinion (and that's all this is), Android 3.1 with Touchwiz is provides a better experience than Android 3.2 on the TF. I never felt that my TF was the sort of device I could give my parents (I even got my mum an iPad), but the GT 10.1 is definitely something I could recommend to a non-techy.
Regards,
Dave
I would have to agree ive had the tf from day 1 yesterday the speakers blew so its rma for return. However on my break i popped out and got a tab and have to say i love it. It just seems more mature and touchwiz actually compliments the tab when the tf gets back it will be on fleabay

Why don't you try going Cold Turkey for a week or two (go Tabless) and see if you miss it, if you don't miss it then just bide your time and wait for Tegra 3. Otherwise, get yourself the GT.
I returned my Transformer and then rejected the replacement as it was no better, that's not to say that there aren't good one's out there though.
I looked at all the available Tabs and in the end decided to wait for the Samsung, sure it lacks the ports that others have, but I'm now very happy with my decision. I've had a few annoyances along the way, but hey if I didn't like fiddling with devices then perhaps I'd have gone the non Android route.
Just keep in mind that the "quality" Tegra 3 devices are still MONTHS away from shipping...and the day they ship, you'll be thinking about Tegra 4, or Super Exynos or Snapdragon Ultra or OMAPWTFBBQ...
TLDR; waiting for tech is a sad game to play, if you don't have current tech to play with while waiting. Though it is cheaper, I think it's a false economy.
I hear the next GTab 10.1 will be coming in january... You should totally wait. Hell, 04 Jan 13 is just around the corner
I love my Tab, it's the best Android Tab out right now, so why not go for it. You can always sell it later and get something back for it.

hey guys
planing to buy new acer iconia a500 tab
but i have couple of questions before buying it
as samsung tab 10.1 : does it lags too much?
and how is the touch interface as compared to ipad2 ??
It not lags too much. All tegra 2. but i suggest you to buy galaxy tab 10.1. It feels so good and the screen is much better than a500. At last, if u have enough money to buy an iPad,don't buy android tablet. There are too many problems with it. Due to my poor English, it's just a suggestion. Maybe my explanation is not clear.

No, your explanation is VERY clear. You just haven't a clue what you're talking about
if you want to be sure, i think the best is to go to a store and try the different tablets you may be interested in (iconia, galaxy, ipad).
everyone has its own tastes and its only a few models for you to try (3).
all i can say is that it's worth its price (a little less than 350 euros in France for example) and that when (if?) ICS is ported to iconia (with hardware acceleration of course) it will be smoother than it is now
WAIT FOR TEGEA 3.WAIT FOR TEGRA.
Did I mention if you wait a month or two tetra 3 will be hitting stores.This will drop prices on tetra 2 devices.and offer a even better android experience if you are willing to spend the cash.
Goodluck and .wait wait wait.

The Iconia is excellent. Mine doesn't lag at all, even on stock it didn't. Also the touch interface is just as good as the IPad2.

The currently available Samsung tablet is like the ipad.It will break looking at it to hard.
So in sure they both will fallowhe same suit on the new coming out tabs.Idont like having the glass go to total outer redge one tiny drop or bangnd its broken.acer has more protection and feels stronger in your hand.the saw goes for comparison on computer laptops made from both companies.
Get acer no doubt.

fasten your seatbelt, ICS is becoming more than a dream for iconia (2 devs have "very early alpha" booting images, obviously without hardware acceleration ).
i bet in less than a month, when you think about this thread, you will say yourself you paid the right price for a "flying tablet"
will the Gateway TAB TP a60 run ICS, as gateway is a subsidiary (sorta) of acer?... I just bought one for a decent price but it might go back to the store...my sister is looking for something to take notes at school and to do basic tasks on, either she will use this or the blackberry playbook (with an android app loader handrite notes program...if it works)
it is an awesome tab

+1 on that.. this is still the best tablet in my opinion. I even bough the thinkpad tablet with the active digitizer and returned it to stick with my iconia.
After enjoying my Nook Color with CM7 for about 8-10 months, I decided I needed a fully functional tablet. After striking out at Staples this morning, I found a refurb with a case on Best Buy's website for $270. Can't wait to get Thor's ROM up and running on this bad boy once I get it on Wednesday.

And when is that coming out? Do you know for sure that there will even be a 2015 edition? If you are interested in not staying in a perpetual hold pattern waiting for the next tablet, you can look into this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...-through-ebay-daily-deals-for-389-99-260-off/
I just bought mine from that deal. 390 for the Note pro is a great price. This will hold me over for a while. If I want the next new Pro tablet, I will just wait for another good refurb deal again
Value is a subjective thing so only you can decide whether the wait is worth it. Given no details on release dates or specs, it's anyone's guess what is coming when.
Root of your question is whether or not the Note line of tablets follows an annual refresh cycle. For that one has to look at the history of the Note 10.1 line (for which I am unfamiliar).
Honestly I dont know but we all know that every year Samsung is realeasing a new product. But i get what yall saying thanks a lot
Sent from my LG-F400S
The NotePro isn't exactly a line-up as much as the Note or S line-up is. At least not yet. There's no way to know if there will be a next one. (If they do make one, I hope it's with sAMOLED...)
This one was announced in January. If we haven't heard anything by February, it's probably not going to happen.
But truthfully, other than the sAMOLED screen, a new version will have very little to add in terms of hardware. The S805 isn't such a great improvement over the S800, and since the Note 4 didn't come with 4GB the NotePro isn't going to get it either.

Depends how urgent you want one and which screen size you prefer and if you need the spen or not
I really hope they continue making 12inch. I rwally love this size but it doesnt seem to be popular
I bet it will be super popular when MS finally gets around to releasing a Android version of their Office products. That way the college kids will use it. (and I would sure use it for that too)
I'm wondering that comments always targeting the pro screen which I consider it as an strength not a weakness factor to this device.... By all means it's a great machine with a huge display and a lot of money to buy... Let I think it can fulfill my demands for at least one year more
