This form factor is perfect and actually portable. The screen size being 10.1 seemed big reading about it, but after holding it, it's perfect. It doesn't seem as big as the iPad due to the widescreen shape. I am able to hold it in one hand. Those of you that thought the GT 10.1 is too big...it's not. Really isn't too much bigger than the current GT. Very impressed.!!! Honeycomb takes some getting used to. Quick and just different.

I want one. But haven't read anything about a wifi only version and am not paying for anoyer data package I wont need.
Will continue to wait for why I need to be made. Although the XOOM seems like a very nice little toy.

does it fit in our pocket?.....i rest my case
congrats tho. i would pick it up but i dont need another tablet. the tab does almost everything i need.

What puts me off is not being able to increase the memory capacity.
I find it limiting as it is with a 32GB Micro SD Card in my current Tab.
EDITED
By that I am referring to the fact the new Tab does not have an external memory slot.
The Xoom needs to have it's MicroSD Card activated at a later date.

cant take it in my jacket, too big for me...waiting for honey port with my 7'' sweety

Nice! If only I had enough money......

Very nice device...But a bit on the lofty side. Kind of rules out the portability factor when comparing it to the SGT.
Ich liebe mein SGT!

No pocket, no care.

With that thin bezel, I already predict a lot of "dropped" XOOMs in the coming weeks.

well can you?!?!

The Xoom looks great. New electronics are always fun. Unboxing, powering up, etc. New OS version! I will say though that I too prefer the 7" form factor. You know how some people use both thumbs to text on their phones? I can't do that with a phone, but that's how I type on my Tab. I can respond to emails lickety split. Perfect size...
While I'm going here, check out Gun Bros on your Xoom! I bet its bad @55 on the 10.1 screen. I'm addicted to it on the Tab.

Having owned a Viewsonic GTab, I said goodbye the 10.1 inch devices forever. You will get cramps in your thumb (on the hand that holds the device of course) after prolonged periods of trying to hold the device comfortably. It was annoying also trying to carry it around and as a woman it should be easy since I can just throw it in my purse.
While the Xoom looks nice, I need the 7" form factor. The Tab fits all of my needs (especially since it's my primary phone).

Can you compare the browser and UI experience versus GTab? Is Honecomb really GPU accelerated like iOS?
Thx!

I'll stick with my tab as it fits in my jacket pocket witn no problems.
A larger version for me is verging on just getting a netbook
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

For me:
Pros: 10" screen, Honeycomb
Cons: Weight, cost
I really cannot justify an $800 tablet when I can get the SGT or the Dell Streak 7 with 4g for $500.
And the weight is just too heavy. I like to read eBooks and the SGT is about as heavy as I want. I tried an iPad and quickly realized I had to hold it with two hands and even then it became a pain. Same with the Xoom.
But, I think the Xoom is very cool and I hope you enjoy yours. I am sure you will.

I still sticked to a 8.9 tablet, Im kind of tired of resizing every web page on my galaxy tab to actually read it, on the iPad(or a 10.1) no resize is needed

hmm i might have to try the xoom out

waiting for the G-slate 8.9 inch , 3d, honeycomb, Lg and samsung r almost the same anyway. look at lg optomus 2x and galaxys

ASUS teases new tablet/phone device

Computex is next week and they have teased a very sleek looking device. They are also asking us to guess if is a Pad or a Phone???

Could be Atix style transformer or a tab-phone like the Dell streak???
What are your thoughts?

Looks like the bump is a "well" for a phone to dock into. The shiny plastic thing appears to be a phone. So a phone that docks into a larger lcd????

Not a fan of the bump in the back and the black plastic looks like it could be a scratch magnet even though it'll be elevated. Still nice though.

Looks like a new tablet to me. That was fast.

seems to be the logical conclusion, seeing as how they are asking us to guess if its a phone or a pad and the caption, break the rules; which means the distinction is going to be "broken"

seams like asus is going to dominate the tablet and phone market due to there crazy prices and high spec hardware. very good job on ASUS , also the first company to communicate to average joes like us on XDA

The Asus MeMo intro'ed earlier this year is supposed to be a phone/tablet hybrid,
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2375326,00.asp
so it probably is that. The raised bump looks to me like a way to use a thicker glass screen to reduce breakage.
Asus is still in its 1st-gen roll-out, and I doubt it would have another "new" model so soon. My opin is it's the MeMo. The 2nd-gen will be later on during the year, probably right before back-to-school, or if not that, then Oct/Nov, or before Xmas shopping season.

prob just a competitor to HTC flyer and galaxy tab 7, which no one will buy......

I wish Asus would focus their resources on fulfilling current orders before trying to sell us a replacement, lol.

My vote is a phone between 3.7" and 4.5 " that docks into a tablet that then docks into our current Transformer dock. It will be released around the time Ice Cream Sandwich is released.
Thats my guess.

i hope it isnt a 7 inch tablet, but a 4.5 inch phone that plugs into a 7 inch tab would be a great idea to have the ultimate portability, i doubt that would happen though lol

Is it really worth the extra 2.5 inches? I would think it would be at least a 10" tablet. Price will determine if this flies or flops.

God that would be soo sick. I'm putting my transformer on sale if it is. Haha

The first picture does seem to imply you'll be able to dock something (most likely a phone) into the back of the tablet.

I had a 7 inch nook and the screen was huge, and fit in my pocket. My transformer stays with me at home , so a portable phone/tablet fits the bill for me.

If this turns out to be a phone that docks onto a 10 inch tablet (Atrix style but flush) and docks to the Transformer dock, I will be in heaven.
Please let it be so!

Anyone thinking about lenovo ideapad k1

Is anyone thinking of jumping ship to lenovo ideapad k1? Looks like a nice device almost similar to the tab in specs, less expensive, has netflix app support. Only thing is I don't know how much thicker it is compared to the tab. It also comes with a custom launcher but has an option to disable it.
Suppose to be available from jul 28th, below is the engadget article with video.

Edit: Netflix now works with tab 10.1 as well. Apk can be found on the other thread or google it

I'm about to pre-order one from Lenovo as we speak. I was debating between this and Galaxy Tab, but I'm pretty sure that the build quality of Lenovo's offering will be superior. The only thing that troubles me is the battery life. I've owned two Lenovo noteboks in the past 3 years and, while I enjoy the hardware, the battery life is the weakest feature and definitely lags behind the competition in that department. Maybe they did some tweaking when it comes to tablets, but be warned.

That thing is hideous! Pass!

I don't think lenovo has the good built quality as samsung anymore. They used to have when under IBM. Not anymore.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

it looks gigantic! I guess one could calculate the thickness based on the 3.5 mm jack plug.
EDIT: it's 13.3 mm

Anyone that gets it, please see if you can pull the Netflix APK and share.

the build-quality seems to be quite good, but the overall design of the pad is pretty ugly

I sawt hat this morning, is it me or does something look a little off with the bevel? so yea - pass.

I won't be changing my 10.1 for one.

Just as a quick update to this thread, there is now a working Netflix APK released in the wild for the samsung galaxy tab 10.1. The link is in a thread on these forums, posted today.

This tablet is going to be an instant failure. Its ridiculously THICK at 13.3mm. Its even thicker than the xoom.

Picked it up from OfficeDepot. I called ahead to see if they had it and the associate said they did. I asked specifically if it was a sellable unit. He said yes. Then when I went in to buy it the manager said thy were out of stock. I pitched a little bit of a fit and got them to dismantle the display they just set up the day before.

sorry cannot post clicky links yet.
Here is a link to the initial unboxing. Overall the device is nice. No the back is not removable and it is a fixed battery. The camera takes decent enough pictures from the rear camera, though I would not want to lug this around as a camera - Droid Charge will remain camera.
The whole 13.3 mm thickness and 0.16 lbs heavier than the Transformer thing eludes me with some other posters. TBH 1.49 to 1.65 lbs is not a gamebreaker in my opinion. And the thickness difference is negligble in my opinion. Where I do see a diffrence in the pad versus others ones on the shelf is the width of the bezel. The Lenovo's bezel is definitely a tad wider. For me this is a good thing as I have big hands, though other users might find this annoying.
The touchscreen is on par with other devices I have touched. Though this is the first one I have actually brought home. The accuracy as I type this is exceptional, with the only mistypes being my own fat fingers.
Start up of the pad is fast with a quick Lenovo banner then the nVidia logo and sexy nVidia girl telling me it's nVidia powered. Once up, the preinstalled aps run crisply and smoothly. Being that this my first tablet with Honeycomb on it I am trial and erroring what apps from the market work. It seems from what I have read it is hit or missip with Honeycomb rit niw in terms if apps.I did get the Netflix app installed though it is not the native app (Lenovo has stated this is not available just yet officially) Full mirroring to the HDMI port works without a hitch and Netflix movies are clear. I am actually impressed with the sound quality as most devices of this size have skimped in terms of sound. The speakers are loud enough to listen to in the car without headphones and the sound us crisp.
Something of note - there are no USB ports or SD card slots. That said there is a SIM card slot of unknown use at this time (unlockable for cellular and 3/4g capabilities???)
My first impression is that getting past the initial transitional from GB to HC will take me some time. The device itself has met or exceeded my expectations in every area I have used it in over the last 24 hours. And, I can see the pad becoming part of my everyday life.
I will post some more pictures of it when I get home.

In my opinion the phone is hideous, was thinking to upgrade but no way in hell am i doing that....
i got a feeling Samsung designed this too look like sh*t, to sell the galaxys2 and save customers for their new stock coming soon. This looks like some cheap Chinese knockoff. But the sad fact is they look a lot better...
what do you guys think.
EDIT...
NEW pictures released look a lot better still not feeling the soft key icons as much though....

looks like a galaxy s2, what did everyone expect?
the nexus s should have been a pretty obvious clue

The rear shot is actually the Nexus S. The front shot is Verizon's Prime. In conclusion, you are jumping to conclusions too quickly.

The prime was too deep into development when google bought Motorola for them to just abandon the project. If there is going to be another nexus after the prime then chances are it will be done by Motorola.

According to Google (whether or not you want to believe it is another story), the Nexus phones will still be a contest for developers. Just because Google owns Motorola doesn't (supposedly) guarantee that Motorola will be the exclusive Nexus manufacturer.
I really hope this is true, because I am sure this is a major thing manufacturers push for. They may not sell as well as some of the other phones out there, but they get a ton of clout and the developers are very quick to stand behind them. Anything that challenges companies to try to one-up each other is a great thing in my book. That is what drives innovation.

Pictures don't always do an item justice
The N1 is no looker when seeing it online--which i am reminded of everytime I download MIUI from their Rom page
But, in my hand, it looks and feels great-------

i always thought the N1 looked better in photos, in hand the frame is too big and the colour is not to my liking, the images show a more darker black/brown

IMO, the supposed design look hideous but i like the software though, colorful, eye catching definitely except for the damn home menu and back buttons. WHERE IS THE F*ING SEARCH BUTTON! >.< i know it's weird but i am one of a few people who uses it a alot. on my n1 the search buttons serves as quick autorotate on/off and search function as well. Another biggest thing, doesnt that phone in the photo looks 4:3 rather than 16:9 to you guys?

I no longer think Nexus is ugly. The new picture shows aluminium type of edge around the phone. The first leak of the pics prob preliminary. I likes the new pics by modoco.

you're right, but it will win any usefulness-contest among any Androidphone with its trackball

Engadget says its on the samsung website if you simply search for it. No specs yet. Just 2 and a half more hours till the specs are released >

The phone and the software are beautiful. What ever the op is smoking i Dont want any of it. I would snag that phone in a minute If it wasnt a verizon exculsive. I hate verizon with a Passion.

New tablet after a Nexus 7? Here is a worthy successor!

Lenovo Tab 4 Plus
http://www.gsmarena.com/lenovo_tab_4_8_plus-8603.php
It's slightly bigger than the Nexus 7, but not so much by comparison, as you can see here from a side by side:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/vYDGB1BfzbWjhO9t2
Better specs, clean Android, beautiful screen and very, very well made hardware, with the additional Plus of having an SD-card slot. By now I am on my 4th Nexus 7, which I mainly use use for eBook reading and some casual gaming, but the problems with the USB slot and the easily defective memory are a nuisance and I have been on the market for an alternative for more than 3 years. The Tab 4 for me is that alternative.
I've had it for a couple of days now and while it is not wildly popular (yet), there is already TWRP available AND root through Magisk.
Finally a decent tablet with USB-C, nice hardware, very good screen time (basically sames as the Nexus 7) and an up to date Android version without significant bloatware (Except for Microsoft Office, which you can uninstall easily, since it's not a system app).
I hope to see a thriving community around this tablet; it's worth it and will please those who have been happy with their Nexus 7, but are looking for a more modern piece of hardware as a successor.

Lucky me I am still on the first one from day one ?
Just have to charge wireless since 6 month. Bud there is no factory Image coming so as long as custums are coming I am good to go. But the Lenovo looks promising

I think 2gb is enough for games

AGREED!!!
When i first saw this, i thought, this is the only upgrade to my 4 year old nexus 7....but sadly lenovo did not launch the 4/64 version in India....i don't know what to buy now..iPad looks like the only choice

I'd suggest the Huawei T2 7.0 Pro. I have both it and the Nexus 7. The Huawei is lighter, smaller, better battery, slightly better CPU/GPU, Micro SD slot, fingerprint sensor.
Oh and it can take a micro sim and be used as a cell phone.
The only negatives:
Only works on 2.4ghz wifi
Android 5.01 only currently
No NFC
No wireless charging
Otherwise it is a worthy successor. There are tons of 8" tablets available but for sheer portability (and why the nexus 7 was so popular in the first place), the T2 is a viable option.
Huawei also had the Media Pad X2 7.0 which has far superior hardware but I have been unable to find one to purchase anywhere.
I also used the Nexus 7 primarily as an E-Reader (I have had it with junk E-Ink devices, kobo and kindle are garbage)
but my Nexus 7 has a stuck reboot loop issue if it powers down.

Not only that, it's also got Micro-USB, not USB-C. Deal breaker.
Same goes for the Huawei, Micro USB.
The Lenovo is also availble in an LTE version. I don't need that, got a nice phone with an international contract as hotspot, so no more additional contracts for me, WiFi does the job for me.

The Lenovo does look like a solid device. For me the size though is a no go. Plus I have not seen it for sale anywhere in Canada. No clue what the supposed release date is.

That doesn't seem to matter though. Google discontinued updates on the Nexus 7 after Android 6.0.1.

As bad as it's going to sound. I'm glad Apple is finally in the wireless charging game. Ya know they're likely to drop an iPad with it soon, and this may inspire the creation of other wireless charging tablets. It's really the only thing holding me back from replacing the Nexus 7 2013.
