It means you could run a beta copy of HC on Android TV. Has anyone tried this & are you able to access the market?
I read that the Revue would be getting HC 3.1 and the app store. Ordered one from Amazon with my points, and am curious to see how much better (or worse) it is than the "Smart" features on my LG TV and LG BlueRay drive.
As for how it relates to the Samsung tablet, I have no clue. Maybe if the SGT could use the Revue's keyboard while hooked up to an HDTV then we'd have an interesting basis for comparison.
Dont waste your money on the revue its way too under-powered with its ultra slow 1.2ghz Atom cpu.
Just bought my second one for 55. Logitech sent out an email for 50$ off $100 purchase added a cheap 10 dollar mouse to bring it over 100 since revue is listed at 99. Free second day air too! Ka-ching

um... the atom is not exactly under powered. If you're trying to play crysis or something, then yes, but my home router, old 4TB file server, and my HTPC ALL run on atom processors and they are more than up to the task.
HTPC is an ION combined with Atom 330
old file server was an Atom 230 single core chip
firewall is smoothwall running on an atom 230.
The atom is a decent processor, especially when combined with a hardware video solution like the ION platform.
Not sure if this is common knowledge here, but Costco sells this tab for 240$ with a case. Just figured I'd let y'all know.

Yes, it's been posted a few times. They also offer the tab 2 10.1 with case for 379.99 at selected stores.

Oh okay sorry for the repeat thread.
Mods delete this if you want.

I might be wrong but I think it is more of a pouch than the actual case. Costco has the same offer on the 10.1 for $379.99
It is just a pouch, but it works good for me.

Picked it up to try but looks like I'll be returning..
- No ad hoc WiFi support
- No standard USB port to charge (must use Samsung cable to USB charge)
- Nearly every Gameloft game doesn't support 7"
- A few EA games work but are a bit sluggish
I really like it otherwise and would recommend if the above do not matter, but they are deal breakers for me. I tried a 10" too and find that 7" is mo betta for a mobile device. 10" just too big for me.
Nice thing about Costco is easy to return.

There is a way for ad hoc support. Few forums on that topic. Can use a previous wpa_supplicant file and replace it. Won't get into logistics but the tab needs to be rooted and permissions changed on the file and using Wi-Fi Tether change to a device profile w/SoftAp and you got tethering wirelessly. FYI.
Too bad for proprietary charger and games but extremely mobile.

If you are rooted you can fix two of your four issues and the charger is like that with any tablet you get.

I could see how not having a standard USB port would bother people, but that's nothing new to Samsung. Chances are that when people are doing their research online that they will see that.
I bought mine from BJ's Warehouse last weeek as it was on sale for $229 with the offical leather samsung pouch. (Samsung sells the pouch for $49 but I would not have paid for that as a separate accessory).
The tab was $20 bucks off but I purchased an extended 2 year warranty for $20 which includes accidental coverage. That gives three years total warranty, including the Mfr one year warranty (without accidental coverage).
If you are going to buy form BJ's they only have a 15 day return period for tablets but I have never had any return hassels from them.
I gave my wife my Original Verizon Samsung Tab 7 and I think she is hooked now on it.

Also, that's a great deal you got. I paid full price ($250) from Best Buy with full insurance for a year ($80 (Includes idiocy protection... I mean accident protection), since it will be my main device for basically everything) and feel like I got a little jipped but can definitely live with it since this is a GREAT tablet.

Well, it is not advertised, but the same $239.99 + pouch at all Costco locations. I bought mine there last week, call ahead, alot of stores sold out over the weekend.
Prices in store for Costco are always lower than they are online for their electronics from what I've seen. It could also be related to specials that are running for certain time periods with the coupon booklets they send out.
Well I'm not an expert, but I do travel a bit and end up visiting a few Costco stores. There is no sale or coupon. Some stores have the 7 inch and some stores have the 10 inch, while others have neither. They both come with a sleeve. $239 for the 7 inch and $379.00 for the 10 inch. With the addition of sales tax and not wanting the sleeve anyway, I bought mine online YMMV.

I personally love it. Haven't been able to put it down since I got it on Saturday. AOSP on this thing is sick!

7 inch are 199.00 at Microcenter, picked 2 up yesterday at that price.
Where to make a pre-order of the Nexus Q or 7 tablet? what is the difference between the $199 and $299 variants? wow now I saw a worth-buying tablet after a while..
the different between the 199$ is 8GB Space and ?299$? 16GB Space and aviable at the play.store in the USA, UK, Canada and Australia
Avail for pre-order at https://play.google.com/store/devices?feature=single-wide-banner
make sure you read the specs carefully before you buy it.
Any info on whether this is supposed to replace or supplement Google TV devices? Hopefully it isn't locked down to just playing media through Play. My Sony Google TV blu-ray player coupled with GTVBox is an awesome media player, though the Sony hardware is a bit out-dated and slow. (not to mention ugly)

Hi all.
Firstly, I live in Canada, which means Google Play store content is not as "enriched" as the American version of the Google Store. There's not a lot of variety, or so I've heard.
Anyways, I am looking for a tablet, main purpose is not to game, but for music/video/office stuffs sometimes. I guess I don't need a quad-core processor, but it will definitely be useful.
I pre-ordered nexus 7, but seeing how I am restricted to 16gbs, I am planning to cancel that and get a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 instead, and put a 32gb SDHC inside. I can only spend about 250 CAD, so ASUS Transformers are out of my question.
My question is, should I stick to Nexus 7, and google play store that is not very developed or get a galaxy tab 2 7.0? I am not really planning to buy content from it anyways, just use it as a day-to-day device for video playback and music from my iTunes collection.
Also, if I do get the galaxy tab, would it be updated to jellybean possibly? Would this improve the performance over already-installed ics?
Or should I just wait for a new line of tablets, and how soon will they be released??
Thanks.

First your comment about the limited "content" of the Play Store will apply to all Android devices. Since they all share the same market. You also have the option of obtaining content via Amazon and GetJar...
Second, I am not 100% sure, but I think the market is not as robust for the world outside of North America (includes Canada), don't quote me though. I am sure other's in your region will chime in soon.
At $200 USD it's IMO the best bang for the buck. I am not sure if you have any other devices currently, but I would really take inventory of how much content you require to carry with you at all times. I assume what ever you are considering buying at that price point will be limited to wifi as the N7 is. You have quite a few cloud storage options. If you feel so inclined, there are also more options on additional storage hardware if you decide to root as well..
Hope that helps,

While I do wish you could expand the nexus 7 storage you need to ask yourself......are you really going to use over 16 gigs? I mean how often do you need to have 15 movies on your tab? You're probably going to be by your computer everyday at some point so you much crap do you realistically need on it on a day to day basis? If you are going on a flight plug in a flash drive with the OTG cable. The nexus 7 hardware is equivalent or better than the grab 2 7 and the software/dev is going to be amazing. Just my. 02

I didn't think the N7 supported OTG? Does it?
Questions go in the Q&A section
As he said, you need to take inventory of all the stuff you'll have on the tablet at one time. Music can be several gigs, depending on your collection (and that's not really something you want to copy back and forth) and whether or not you use google music.
Remember that you don't actually get 16G, only 13G.
USB OTG is (probably) also possible if you root.

Hi, I have the grab 7.7, the nexus 7 and I just bought the gtab 7.0 for my niece. If I were in your situation with a budget I would do the gtab 7.0 for 2 reasons 1- storage sounds like you need as much as you can get. 2- I think the N7 has some production, build quality issues and my experience with the transformer prime tablet, also made by ASUS was not great.
If you can't wait then get the 7.0. If you CAN wait, I am sure they will work out the kinks - overall the N7 is the better device but the 7.0 is a solid device no issues lots of accessories and does have ice cream sandwich OS

Thanks. Now I am really considering the gtab2. But in Canada would I be able to cancel my order because this is what they told me via email:
"Hello,
We wanted to send you an update on your Nexus 7 pre-order. We’ve had incredible demand for the new tablet and are shipping them as quickly as possible. Your tablet will ship in 1-2 weeks.
Thanks for your patience. Your Nexus 7 will be on its way soon.

This is clearly a bs, since I paid 20 for 2-day shipping, have to wait 1-2 more weeks.
They haven't charged my credit card yet, so would I have a better chance if I call them personally? (I tried last night, gave up after 50 min on the phone waiting)

It's true it really isn't as enriched as the USA store, you can still rent movies at least (haven't gotten my 7 yet to check out what's in the store). I don't see myself gaming really that much either (I have a PS3 for that) so I'll be doing pretty much the same as you.
For Music: I uploaded all my music to Google Music and I gotta say, it is well worth it if you haven't done it already. Really handy and streams really quickly.
For Movies/TV Shows: I have my own dedicated server (Dell running Ubunutu) from which I stream my content from so in my case I'm not too worried about storing stuff on the tablet (except for maybe a trip where I'll save some). If this does interest you or you are home quite a bit, you could even create a share folder on your computer or laptop and access it from your tablet.
As for cancelling, from what I understand you can refuse delivery and they will give you a refund, but I haven't personally checked on that. Honestly, I have my doubts you'll get offical JB and if you do it will be ages before you ever get it.
Which one did you order from the GP Store, 8GB or 16GB?
PS. This will be my first tablet so I'm excited :laugh:

Google Music isn't available in Canada yet.
And at OP, you're gonna be using the same Play Store on the N7 and the Galaxy Tab, so I'm kinda confused about your statement. Do you mean because it's running jelly bean? If so, it's only gonna be a short time for developers to edit those apps to be fully compatible.

Ya I know but you can get it like I did (I live in Canada as well) using Tor to setup an account and then your free to access it while still in Canada. I used this guide, super simple and again you only need to setup using a US IP, you can still access using a Canadian IP
Ohh that sucks, I ordered a 8GB from GP but decided to sell to a friend and ordered through Futureshop, much cheaper (cost me $294 w/ tax for 16GB FS, $256 w/ tax GP in Ontario). Hopefully they do ship them soon though
I got mine yesterday and I think it's the best tablet experience. I have a Transformer (Tf101); and I think I almost like this more. It's smooth, fast and extremely portable. The Nexus 7, along with my Chromebook, will go to school with me. I think this will be the ideal combination.
