Seeing where the SGT Dev community is going (nowhere).... I am thinking of selling my 3 week old SGT for cash and saving up for the wifi-Xoom. Anyone in the same boat.... or can rebut my opinion.
I've had the same thought, but since my GF got it for me for X-mas, I'm gonna keep using it, and give it back to her when I can afford a XOOM

I got the tab in January and so far other than gaining root haven’t done anything else with it, the mobility factor is a big plus no question about it, but then I got the xoom on launching day and now I really like them both…so if or when you do it you will appreciate the differences.
I think the Devs have nothing to do with your decision.
I really like the form factor, but performance is an issue with my tab. and with the dev community not really huge, i feel left out of so much with all of these honeycomb tegra2 tablets coming out. I just really feel that Samsung really jumped the gun with the tab. releasing it with no hopes of any real update. Then pretty much rubbing it in our face by releasing 2 more tabs that are far more superior. makes me feel like i made a bad investment by falling for their trickery.
Maybe SGT 8.9 if released with similar specs as of the xoom. and reasonably priced
The tegra processors and Honycomb make our tab look outdated already but IMO the differences are not that big unless one expects too much from a tablet; is not going to replace our laptops yet…as for sami updating my hopes are nonexistent. I was in Germany recently when a saw the tab of a friend of mine, phone working etc I turned green . My biggest beef is with the carriers here in the US that crippled the device.
tegra 2 isnt a device without their own problem
like not able to play 720p mkv movies unless it converted on a specific format
that would be a problem to some people
and is there really a lot of app that dual core ready anyway?
afaik, for normal process, only 1 core would work unless there's a need for the 2nd core?
jumping too soon on honeycomb with limited apps wouldnt make that much of a difference either
and did you say saving up? how long? ^^
if it took months, who knows we already got honeycomb or ice cream on the way on our tab?
honeycomb, i doubt, but the next generation for smartphone definitely gonna be ported to our tab IMO
my main interest in this tab is phone capability, so unless there's another contender out there, i'm still gonna keep this one

I'm trying to see what trickery Samsung have fooled you with here?
The 7" Tab was sold as an Android 2.2 device, with no promise of a Honeycomb update, and that's what they delivered.
We may, or may not get an official upgrade, which may be Honeycomb, or perhaps Gingerbread, but the Tab is still a very capable and useful device as is IMO. I do believe that we will at least get an unofficial Honeycomb ROM once the source code drops.
None of the upcoming tablets can replace my Tab because they are too big for my purposes, though I may end up getting a bigger tablet purely for home use.
Regards,
Dave
For me its all about size, the 10s are just to big to carry around comfortably. Might as well continue to carry my Dell mini9 laptop. I dont require much from my tab maybe thats why Im happy with the 7.
Remember no matter what you buy it has a good 6 months of obsolescence built in
I think most devs wait for the honeycomb source... no one wants a broken sdk port on an expensive device...
As soon as HC hits aosp I'll contribute developing.
And the xoom community won't move very fast with development for the first six months either. And with that price, probably not much development after that.

Agreed. The xoom may be "developer friendly" but it is way too expensive to mess around with.. the galaxy tab gets cheaper and cheaper and will attract more devs too over time.
Why are we comparing the Tab and the Xoom? Two totally different niches. Anyone buying a Tab should know what they are getting, and most that do are getting them for a reason. 7 inches, and a solid product with the full Android Market without having to push it onto the device.
I have three different 7 inch tablets right now (had a 4th, but the Dell Streak 7 is dismal) and the Galaxy Tab is BY FAR the best of the three. The NookColor is fun, and is running dual-boot Honeycomb (port from sdk) and froyo. It's overclocked to 1.1Ghz and is primarily used by my wife as an e-reader (which is what B&N intended), though she likes firing up Angry Birds, etc.
The Archos 70 Internet Tablet is running 2.2.1..and is slim and can handle just about ANY media thrown it's way. Archos is a leader in Media devices, having created the HDD portable Music player before anyone else (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archos)...including Apple. It's hands down the best for watching movies. However it's flimsy and buggy...Archos sucks at support, truly. Plus, there's not much in the way of accessories for it. I had the 10.1 also...but sold it.
My Tab gets the most use...as I swap my phone's sim into it quite frequently. And it handles pretty much everything I want it to do. Out of the 3, theres no comparison as to my satisfaction.
If I wanted another 10" Tablet...and wanted Honeycomb right now, I STILL would not get the Xoom. I can afford it, but that doesn't mean I want to plunk down $800 on something obviously rushed out of production. Too many things wrong with this early adopter device.
Here's to hoping the incoming 8.9' Galaxy Tab has some of the kinks worked out...cuz I'm gonna pounce on it right away. 10.1" prolly not, the form factor just too large for my usage.
Whatever some people get, they will NEVER be satisfied
hehe...truly, and that's why my wife calls me a gadget whore...just have to have em all. Could be worse in her eyes, at least I'm loyal to her

If you bought a tablet based on the dev community then you were wrong to do that in the first place. You buy something for what it is, not what it may be based on some random people messing around with roms.
I can't see how a 10" Xoom could possibly be a replacement for the 7" SGT. One you can carry around with you, use in your car, act as a backup phone, and the other is mostly a stay at home couch device. Personally I think the Xoom is a bit of a let down on things it should be better at - like playing high bitrate movies. SGT blows it away on that score. The SGT build and screen is also very high quality. As good as my iPad 1 (which I've not really touched since the SGT came along. Never mind how I've come to despise the Apple lock-in methodology...).
Honeycomb looks like it will be a great update when the bugs are ironed out, but Froyo (maybe Gingerbread soon) on the SGT currently makes more sense as the device really is closer to a phone than a tablet (and I'm personally happy that it is). Ice Cream Sandwich looks like it will be the natural OS upgrade for this device, as it will combine Honeycomb UI changes with smartphone functionality. Whether Samsung will release it for the SGT in the coming months is anyone's guess, but for now I'm rocking the Tab. For a couch device I'll see what the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is like (hopefully they'll find a fix for the video snafu), but none of the Tegra 2 SoC based tablets are wowing me at the moment.

Lol...not mine, she's become a gadget snob. Though she won't admit it, she's glad to be cutting edge. I see it when her girlfriends drool over the cool gadgets she totes around, lmao. We'll go get coffee, and she will look to see who noticed her pretty NookColor while she's reading and surfing the internets.
So you're selling a device because people aren't modding it? IMHO that's a ridiculous reason to sell this amazing piece of tech.
And im guessing one main reason is Honeycomb because, lets face it, its what everyone wants in a tablet. Then why not buy a Nook? You complain lack of development, the Nook Honeycomb port is better than anything they'll ever do with the Xoom.
Still, just my opinion. I'm keeping my Tab until it dies, then ill get another one.

To be honest with you, the pressure implied by Apple on Samsung's Tabs are making a serious blow to their reputation. You know that it might not be true but in consumers' eyes no one would generally opt for a product which has patent issues regardless of how good it is.
The reason TF being such a success is because it's a fresh, innovative idea which emerged into the market out of the blue with a solid spec sheet and an extremely attractive price tag for the mass.
Another example which illustrates that people just aren't look for android tablets. Especially not in the price range they are selling for.
I can't wait for the galaxy tab $99 fire sale! LOL
Also note that they are talking about last year, not the current galaxy tabs.

Pre or post fire sale? Just about any major Android tablet selling for $99 would get such response. Transformer, Galaxy Tab, Iconia, etc.
So that's not really a valid comparison (at least in my opinion).
Even though the TF is an entirely fresh new idea with a very solid spec sheet, it's not making such a big splash in the media world. Most people don't know about it. Google isn't paying attention to it. Google's star product is the galaxy tab for whatever reason.
It's kinda sad, really, that such a fine product as is the TF is not being noticed that much.

Actually, I have to ask: where are you getting the information that HP sold more TouchPads than Asus has Transformers? I'd say HP sold a few hundred thousand TouchPads (say, 100K - 300K, MAYBE as many as 500K, but that's being really generous). There was the perception of really high sales, sure, but that comes from the hype generated by one of the stupidest decisions in modern marketing history.
Looking at Asus' shipping numbers and given that the Transformer is pretty much selling every bit of inventory they ship, I'd say they've sold at least 1 million Transformers. At a profitable price, I might add.
There's no way HP has sold more TouchPads.
Seems high to me but according to this article 800 to 900K Touchpads sold sold far. Another 100K in process.

There are MANY budget android tablets for under $150... their sales are terrible. People simply don't want android tablets - I'm talking "everyday people", not geeks. The sales of ipads should clearly illustate this as Apple can sell more ipads in a day than Android tablet manufacturers can sell in a quarter.

Digitimes has never been a very credible source as far as I'm concerned... I just don't accept that this many TouchPads have been sold. Not that it matters if they did, it's just I don't buy it. I think we'd be seeing 100's of thousands of app downloads being trumpeted over at Precentral if that were the case.

Certainly, the iPad is a phenomenon. I don't consider it a case of a technology selling, but rather some kind of consumer cultural craze. The hype that Apple gets certainly helps, along with the constant meme that the iPad is the only device that's selling.
The latest Android numbers show about 2.5 million Honeycomb devices in service. This really isn't that bad when you consider how new Honeycomb is and how poorly priced the earliest Honeycomb tablets were. The Transformer was really the first device that was both compelling and priced correctly, and I think its sales show that.
If the tablet market is viable at all, I think we'll see Android tablets follow phones fairly quickly. If the tablet market is just a flash in the pan, then the iPad will eventually fall off as well. But it's still too early to make any sweeping generalizations about this market, and it drives me crazy when people do so. It's like they can't remember how Android was a minor player 18 months ago, and everyone was saying then about the iPhone what they're saying now about the iPad.

Not true. I believe hp said that app downloads have increased 5x since the firesale, but you have to keep in mind that there was a survey done which apparently showed that most people download and use a very minimal amount of apps on their tablets... It was a crazy low number as far as I was concerned, but apparently, many people are happy just using stock apps. My wife has an android phone and she sticks to almost all stock apps... N00b! LOL

I returned my Galaxy Tab the day Touchwiz rolled out and bought the Asus with dock instead. No regrets, though the Galaxy Tab 10.1 had a really wonderful official case which I miss.

I have to strongly disagree with this. Have you seen, held or tried out these 100$-150$ android tablets?
No one wants one of these because they are ****. Like, ****.
Most, if not all have resistive touch screen with no multi touch, on-board memory from 128-256mb ram to maybe 2 gigs for storage, support for wifi b/g, 7-9 inch screen with a 800×380 to 800x480 res. 400hhz cpu's, many dont come with a expandable sd/micro sd slot, 1100mah batteries etc. The list goes on. Not to mention almost all of the 100$ tablets comes with 1.6
No one wants these things cause they all have the same specs as my HTC touch. The quality is sub par. It has nothing to do with them having the android OS on it.
I love android. I love my tablet, I love my phone. I wouldn't spend 99$ for one of those POS. Even "everyday people" have that much "know"
You take our tablet or a Samsung 10.1 and slap a 99$ price tag on it, and watch em fly off the shelves.

Why do you think those numbers are unrealistic? Remember that they got those numbers from the fact that everywhere was sold out and we know how much stock people had. Where else would they be if they didn't get sold?
Also, the reason we're not seeing hundreds of thousands of app downloads is because people are waiting to port android over to the touchpad.

Yes, I've owned a few of them. Do you know what ereaders are good for, like the kindle? Reading books... that's pretty much all they do and they've sold WAY more than android tablets, often at a higher price. These $150 android devices do more than kindles, but people don't want them. They certainly perform better than the kindle, but Android hasn't taken off for them.
Perhaps it's all down to marketing? Who knows? But if Android tablet makers think they are going to sell Honeycomb tablets for $499+, they are completely out to lunch. When people are looking for a tablet, they say "I'm looking for an iPad" - that's a fact. Something has to change with the way Android tablets are promoted - maybe they need to hire apple guys?

3 weeks ago, I was sitting on the train playing with my tablet when a man sat down next to me. He asked me if what I had was an ipad and I said no. Then he said, and I quote, "oh, you have an imitation".
First of all, I did not have my tablet inside a case or anything. I was playing galaxy on fire 2, and this thing looks nothing like an ipad or ipad 2.
But what really surprised me was how rude this gentleman was. He actually said I had an imitation.
With the billions of dollars apple is pumping into their ad campaign, people tend to only think the only "real" tablet is the ipad and ipad 2 and that everything else is a fake. And this atittude makes people so confident that this man actually said to a total stranger on the train "you have an imitation".
The latest Android numbers show about 2.5 million Honeycomb devices in service. This really isn't that bad when you consider how new Honeycomb is and how poorly priced the earliest Honeycomb tablets were.

Frankly, I'm surprised people aren't paying more attention to the transformer. It really is a solid device. The design is superb, if you ask me. And compared to the transformer, other android tablets (with the exception of the galaxy tab) feel like anchors.
The transformer really should get more attention than what it's getting now.
Beating iPad2.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15559778
Braindead media experts are in shock that their beloved Apple did not win it.
However anyone with any sense already knew this. I mean the Transformer beats the iPad2 in every respect.
* 7x the camera megapixel count.
* 20% more screen resolution.
* USB2 ports
* Dock with double battery life
* Lower cost
A win for great technology over average technology and slick marketing.

"Despite the iPad 2 being a finer tablet in the purest sense, the Asus Eee Pad Transformer offers so much more," Stuff's consulting editor, Simon Osborne-Walker, told the BBC.

but seriously the TF deserves it

Asus is expected to launch a successor hybrid device within the coming weeks. Analysts say the new version is likely to include a faster processor and the latest version of Google's Android system.

are these so called experts living under a rock or something?
I'd love for them to define how it's actually "finer tablet in the purest sense,"..
I mean if any other company launched a tablet with a main camera with a pathetic 700k pixel camera, when even cheapo smartphones have 5Mpixels camera, they would be absolutely slated.
It's a vicious cycle of course, all these "experts" only know iPad2, because they simply can't be bothered to look elsewhere (and many of them get complimentary review iPad2 units to keep, so why bother..), so just assume that it's the best because it's best selling, and it's best selling just cements that further...

Except her drama is with an HTC Desire Z (she "had" to have a hard keyboard lol). Which although she has never had an iphone, claims it has no problems and would work perfectly unlike the daily rubbish desire Z lol
The TF gets the same abuse, never used an ipad but claims it would be better because Polaris office doesn't have a spell check (to be fair it is a bit annoying but hardly a reason to condemn an entire device to the bin lol - oh and the browser's quick controls confuse her lol).
I dont understand these people what is wrong with them why have a slower processor less ram a crap camera updates that come out once in a blue moon and a market where almost nothing usefull is free and a system thats under more control than a chinese media centre

I'm blessed, because my fiancee generally takes a "That's retarded!" view of such things; be it blind Apple Fanboyism (It's just better because it's Apple) or pretty much anything else like that. Wouldn't be surprised if she went iPhone should she someday take a smart phone, which is perfectly fine with me.

Asus really won me over with my transformer, I have an iPhone 4 and i decided to go android for my tablet to get sense of them, now i can't stand using my iPhone it just doesn't do what I want it to do and I know my next phone will be a Nexu phone... except i have another ytwo years on my contract.... Damn you Canada and your 3 year contracts

No ****, I'm married to one. She won't even consider Android anything anymore. She has made it clear her next phone will be the iPhone 5 and we sold the iPad and she is using my Transformer and *****es about it EVERY SINGLE DAY demanding she get an iPad 2. Yet...one of the main things she wants to do is Skype (with family) which is much better on the Transformer due to the camera but she just doesn't get it. Oh, did I mention she has never even used an iPhone before, but she said she just knows its better...
So, in an effort to stave off a domestic violence situation and/or divorce...we are buying a stupid iPad 2 today.
I love her in every other way...but her understanding of technology is a disappointment. I guess no one is perfect...well...except us here in the forums.

I'm sorry to hear. My better half was the opposite. I really tried to convince her to get an ipad 2 since she was computer illiterate. But she wouldn't have it. She wanted what I had. So we went out to get her a tf.

Without jailbreak you can change the socks and with jailbreak you can change shoes. So it's not a big deal. Without root allows you to do more than jailbreaked iOS device.

The galaxy tab is a great device... once it has been modified. The stock firmware tends to lag and have reboot issues for power users, those who game and transfer files a lot. On the other end, if you are a very casual gamer who likes to surf the net and read books all on a great screen then the tab may be for you. Although, in all honesty the tablet market is extremely diluted at the moment, so I would recommend that you wait for the market to equalize and spit out a great value and performance tablet.

hell yes. this tablet is a boss. if you can, might as well wait for those quad core tablets though. they're right around the corner.
Id say no, especially this version at this point in time, honestly if I were you I would just keep the iPad, while it is a locked down piece of ****, it actually does what its supposed to do and it works well, the Gtab is garbo compared to iPads, depending on what you want to spend Id say wait for the iPad3/HD or wait for the next gen version of the Gtab or something comparable

I agree with what Jay says. While this tab is great if you can wait I would suggest waiting for the new stuff to come out with ICS on it and will have the faster processors.

You're actually saying my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7150 running Task 14, Pershoots latest kernel, oc'd to 1400, SuperCharger V6, most any app I could want, and etc... without any issues what so ever is "garbo" compare to something you just referred to as a "locked down piece of ****"?
You've got to be kidding. I guess you could just be an apple fanboi sarcasm in the fanboi crack.
But really that's what you just said.
I'm not saying you're wrong within your opinion of what to do. I think you are, but I'm not saying that.
I just can't believe what you just compared my tab to. LOL
Now back on topic....
As far as what to keep, I would keep both myself, until the next iPad and actual successor to the tab comes out so you can compare then. While in the meantime while you wait you'll be able to personally experience both the iPad and tab to help ease your decision when you decide what direction you want to go. It could be you even want to get a completely different brand than Apple or Samsung. Then you can sell then both, just the one you don't want, or neither and not even get anything else. Leave your options open and compare both before getting rid of either one for now. Is my suggestion.
EDIT: Sorry I got so involved with the comment of my tab being "garbo" compared to a "locked down piece of ****" I forgot what the op stated.
so actually, if you're not completely happy with the iPad I'd get rid of it before a new one comes out and makes the one you're not happy with worth half of what it is now. But would I wait on getting a tablet? No. But I couldn't live without mine now. But if you can live without then I would suggest doing so, as the new to come devices, even the iPad, look to be really nice improvements on the tab as it is right now. Sorry not a definite answer as to what to do really just something more to think about.

OKay, maybe when its on stock ROm... no arguing there.
BUT after flashing it with a custom rom and overclocked to 1.2-14.ghz? Dude... I am loving my 10.1v to every single detail!
Its so much easier and fast to use. no itunes no syncing!
I can view flash browsers, open any video file, i have a CALCULATOR! I have a tablet dedicated OS!
Just wait till ICS becomes stable on 10.1&10.1v... ICS is damn smooth and damn fast!
Imo, it may not be as smooth as IOS but its really close but one thing is for sure... ITS FAST!
Thanks guys for your opinions. Yea I definitely would throw a custom rom on there. I mostly just use the ipad for internet and Netflix HBO go. The Garbage iipad Im using the safari always fcs its kinda annoying.

Im on the latest ICS KANG, the Gtab is at its best while on this ROM, especially compared to stock HC, no doubt about that but as I mentioned above, overall the iPad is a better product IMO
This Tablet ROCKS.. I have no real need to upgrade or wait for the new ones that will come..
Task 14 with pershoot kernel and OC @ 1.2 is fast speedy and rock solid..
CM9 OC @ 1.2 is nice as well...
Get it and enjoy as waiting for what is rumored is a never ending cycle.. As soon as the newer ones are released something with higher specs will be rumored...
Get what you want and enjoy it..
Simply from an evolutionary perspective it doesn't make sense to buy the current G-Tab now. The G-Tab 2 is supposed to be less expensive but it'll still be first-gen h/w. The Note 10.1 is interesting because of the uniqueness of the S-Pen. It also has a 1.4GHz Exynos processor and I'm guessing a Mali GPU which will be head and shoulders above the G-Tab 1 and 2's performance.
The Asus Prime's running Teg3 but it's been a disaster with tons of issues you can review on their forum. It's rumored that'll the Asus Infinity which will have a HD display may replace it in the April/May timeframe. Acer's also got a Teg3 device launching in France this month that's already passed through the FCC. The Samsung 11.6 with a higher resolution display than the iPad3 will most likely rule all later in the year. But the Exynos 5250 chip that powers it isn't supposed to reach mass production until Q2 so it'll probably be summer before it’s available. All the newer devices come with ICS.
So if you've made up your mind to make the switch from iPad, I'd wait at least until the Note 10.1 becomes available. I'm guessing it won't be cheap and you may have to import it from Europe to get it sooner. If you're willing to look at other manufacturers follow Acer and Asus to see when their new Teg3 devices are released. Or, you can wait even longer for the Holy Grail which will be the 11.6

iPads are OK but they are mainly geared toward less technically inclined people.. No widgets, no customization ect... PASS... Sold my iPad2 to get the Tab and am glad I did..
I was thinking about waiting for the gtab2 but I read it was pretty similar to the first gen one. The original gtab is only 400 at best buy. I just want something that's good for movies and Internet. I like Samsung cause all their devices is so easy to root and flash.

First, your statements I changed to red in your quotes above are contradicting each other as to what you are implying you actually you said. and the first statement of "the Gtab is garbo compared to iPads" can or should be interpreted as including everyone's Gtab.
Second, (your own words are in green), I didn't get my "hackles up" I defended the Gtab as I have it set up and showed my disbelief of your stating "the Gtab is garbo compared to iPads" here in a Galaxy Tab 10.1 section of the forum. I'm reminded of quote from an old British sitcom "I'm glad I don't have your nerve in my tooth!"
I say this because as you state yourself "LOL, I knew this would get some peoples hackles up" So you knew the controversy you were trying to create but did so anyway? I doubt it. I think you were just stating your opinion which you knew many here would disagree with, not intentionally trying to start any pissing matches, but I could be wrong.
To end my I rambling, I do take offense to some of your so called "opinions", as direct and intentional insults towards myself as they were directly in response to my post. Such as this one 'for some one to get bent out of shape because someone else thinks your "electronic" device is garbo as I put it is beyond moronic" So I'm beyond moronic because I chose to state my opinions and defend my Gtab, just as you stated your opinions but didn't defend any device of your own? I may think the same of you and your opinions but never resorted to publicly posting this low level of insult.
This following is definitely trying to be insulting and directly rude. "Geeze the way you ball washed a product almost gives the appearance of you having a relationship with it or having a name for it" I think this is completely uncalled for. Although I do have a name for it. LMAO It's name is "my tab".
Then, I'm having a relationship with it? Not even going to ask your intentions with that statement, though I think it's obvious what you're suggesting here.
Since this OP is all relative to device setups and personal opinions, as you stated yourself, and I respect your opinions, however much I disagree. Though none of the personal attacks were called for.
You might reply and correct me where I could be thinking wrong.
But with my post already taking the OP off topic I hesitate to suggest it, but that's not for me to decide.
Just thought I'd write an essay today I guess.

If you're looking to play movies locally (vs. streaming) then stay away from anything based on Teg2 (including the G-Tab 1). The GPU is pitiful. If the 1GHz chip in the G-Tab 2 is Exynos/Mali it will be a far better choice than the Teg2. If you store your video files in 1080P/MKV Teg2 just chokes and you'll have to re-encode them all to get them to play. Nvidia's said they've lost Samsung as a customer so it's hard to say what chip will be in the G-Tab 2 and other upcoming Samsung tablets. For streaming video and Internet any of the first-gen devices are fine.
I'm thinking of getting one from eBay
This or this
Would it be a bad idea, I've really no interest in one of the quad cores. The Tegra2 is more than enough power; And seeing as how CM9 nightlies just started for this device, it only makes me want it even more. I'd use it for just browsing internet, skype, etc, same stuff I use my E4GT for but just on a bigger screen. I absolutely love my E4GT and from what I've seen no other tablet has as good of a display as the galaxy tab series.

I totally agree with you. If you need something that works well and gets everything done without headaches an iPad is by far a best product at the moment, if you don't depend on a tablet for real work but just for fun or tinkering then a Galaxy Tab may work as well as any other tablet out there I guess.
Sadly right now Android on tablets is a half baked product at best...

A Galaxy Tab owner

Yeah I agree, we may not see alot of tablets comign out with the screen res that the n10 has i'd expect alot of tablet with the 1920x1080 screen in the transformer infinity. I think most makers will wait for the tegra 4 processor to come out before we see anything substantial being released, I'd say the N10 will be the master of the domain for at least 6 months.
well i beleive we will see new processors ,the tegra 3 is obvious a medium choice for tablets cpu.
i believe we will see tablets with s4 pro ,exynos cpu and 2gb ram as untill now 1 gb is standard ,for resolution i believe may devs will own a nexus 10 so many apps will go up to nexus 10 resolution in the near future and so new tablets will have the same as nexus 10.
the only thing that i find a little disturbing on nexus is the missing sd slot so new tabs may have a future over nexus 10 ...

This will definitely put some serious price pressure on the 10-inchers. It's pretty well known that the BOM on the Samsung Note 10.1 is $260, and they have been selling it for $200 over cost. So now the N10 comes out, and the 16gb model has to be sold pretty near cost -- you can compare features and prices with the iPad BOM, and the total has to be pretty close to the msrp. My point is that, as with the N7, Google is shaving margins pretty thin, and competitors will have to follow suit -- even mighty Apple

It looks like March will be a big month for tablet fans. The Samsung Galaxy S4, with Exynos 5450, is expected. Surely it would be easier to drop that SoC on a tablet, N10-derived or not, as they already have the experience with the 5250, so I would expect tablets to arrive around the same time. T40 is scheduled for Q1 as well, so we may see some interesting head-to-head competition CES, in two months, will shed a lot of light on what to expect in Q1 2013.

Pretty sure the new Note tablet will be built on the experiences of the old and the Nexus 10.
A 12" 2600k tab with Exynos 5450, 8-core Mali T604 and S-Pen magic, if you can wait 6 months and get an additional $100, you'll be in for a treat. (the 10+" screen is wishful thinking, but isn't that the Samsung way? The next big thing).
Ehh, apple won't have to budge the slightest. Let's all be honest here, as much as we hate them, apple (sadly) appeals to a larger crowd. It has that name brand value. No matter what they put out there, lots of people will buy it.

They will always have a large flock of sheep, but it won't be a larger crowd for long. There is going to be a lag between the growth of Android tablets shipped and the growth of quality apps -- as developers are drawn to the platform and have to train up -- but as Android users takes the biggest slice of the market, the maturity of both hardware and software development will improve.
Apple's problem is attracting new customers; they may be selling more tablets, but many are to existing users.

As much as I crave the N10, I feel I'll be happier in the long-term waiting for the next big thing. Besides, I think my budget Lenovo A2109 is a great tab. My guess is that it compares poorly even in performance, but I just bought it a couple months ago, so I can bask in the upgrade for a while longer .
