Nexus T?

http://androidheadlines.com/2011/05/rumor-10-inch-toshiba-tab-is-nexus-t-and-google-io-swag.html
what do you guys think? will this be the nexus tablet? i sure hope it is.. as i am still waiting a announcement from google i/o before jumping into XOOM...
i should had have my xoom weeks ago, but my supplier delayed me.. and now google io is just a week away, i sure hope they announce that this is the nexus tablet.
and i quite like the specs. (don't mind it being heavier and thicker).
it has HDMI port (i belive is full size, not mini), USB port, mini USB port and a dock port as well.
the only thing missing is a micro SD card? but if the USB and mini USB works, we can just plug in any card reader.

But it is ugly. As you said, thicker and heavier. I hate that silver thingie.
Oh my, i hope this is not google nexus tablet.

Website says it does have an SD slot.

I am curious what the retail price on it is. if it is above or below Xoom mainly.

i hope it isn't a Nexus Tablet. I mean the specs are pretty dam close to the Xoom. Its like the Nexus S all over again. anyone who has a tablet already has no reason to buy it. Now if it had a Tegra 3 in it and not a 2 then yes it would be something to buy. I mean the USB port is nice and all but really the Xoom has a SDcard slot kinda the same to me.

how about the battery life.
it suppose to be 3x better than normal lithium battery plus its interchangeable..
my concern is always about updates coming stright from google.
at the moment, xoom's update comes from motorola, not from google directly.
hence at the moment, i am holding off xoom untill after google IO....

Pretty positive that at I/O there will be welcome packages of either the Nexus S 4G and the usual T-Shirt. At the keynote, I think they'll announce that everyone's getting either the Galaxy Tab 10.1 or the Xoom.

All I know is that it is what I am getting, I just purchased the Xoom to hold me over until it was released, my return date for the Xoom is in June when this is to be released. I hate motorola products but wanted something to see what Honeycomb was like and since this was the only one worth getting at the time well the only one that was around.
Acer and Asus are worse than Motorola, have owned laptops from both and quickly disposed of them!!! I have three Toshiba computers and like them very much, plus the back of that tab can be replaced with different color backs just like a silicone case and that is the ONLY tablet with a removable battery!!!
This is the link to the tab's web site. http://thetoshibatablet.com/

hmm good point made in the comments over there ... both front and back cameras are in portrait mode... Honeycomb is made for landscape mode use...this looks like a potential 2.2/2.3 tablet... hardly a Nexus.

Doubt it's the nexus tablet.
Evo Better Than The Best...

i guess we just have to sit tight till google IO to find out. which ever it is, as long as google is going to provide the update, i am getting that.

Yea this is a really big indicator. Honeycomb's UI is almost exclusively made for widescreen landscape use, not portrait. Not sure why they'd have the cameras set up for portrait use.

No, it is a Honeycomb tablet.

The xoom although receive updates from Motorola but it has no custom skins or anything anywhere whatsoever. So, xoom or nexus tablet are both good choices. Plus, the xoom were given away at either CES or mwc by google. That proves the xoom is already one of the few chosen kids.

weird camera placement for a honeycomb tab then. very weird.
love the XOOM cameras ... they're both very very good.

I'd guess it is simply being called 'Toshiba Tablet' judging on the URL etc.
and why not?
Also with the Xoom being out and about - I can't imagine Google needs a Nexus X device for a tablet? wait till 3.1/4.0 for another Nexus device?

Life feels better after the Iconia! My 2 cents.. :)

Hello!
I've had the Iconia for about three weeks now and have to say I'm very satisfied with the device. I went to the U.S. on late April for a business trip and decided to invest my hard earned money on a new tablet. I was able to side test the Iconia, Xoom, iPad 2 and was sold by the Acer for the following reasons:
- Full sized USB and microSD right out of the box;
- Speaker quality;
- Rotation lock switch;
- Battery life;
- Feels AWESOME in hands (very important factor to me. We all know the Iconia is heavier than the iPad, Galaxy, Transformer.. but those extra 100g are well distributed on its fantastic design);
- Fantastic design
Both Iconia and Xoom share very similar hardware specs, but the A500 user experience felt a lot smoother. Dunno if it's Android related, but I actually had to hard reset the Xoom in store. That was very disappointing.
I own an iPhone 4 since its launch, so I'm very used and kinda tired of iOS. It feels outdated. Don't get me wrong, I love my iPhone, it's a phenomenal piece of hardware, specially after jailbreaking, but I felt it was time to go for a more flexible solution for my tablet experience.
I never saw the Iconia as an expensive toy. Sure I can watch movies and Youtube videos with my girlfriend in bed or have many laughs with friends while messing with the "Nipple" app.. but I no longer feel enslaved to a chair and table when I need to browse the web, read emails, chat, online shopping, read, read, read, etc NO MATTER where I am. Yes, I have a laptop, but it's simply not the same thing. A funny example, the other day I was editing an important document on the laptop, when all the sudden I felt the urge to go to the bathroom.. it took me less than 10 seconds to save the document to a thumbdrive, go to the bathroom and resume my editing on Quickoffice. Comfy and priceless!
I also play drums and have been using the A500 quite a lot for sheet music reading, learning new songs, etc. Last week I was jamming with a couple of friends as we needed some lyrics.. I just handed the Iconia to the "singer" (we were kinda drunk, lol) and he had all lyrics opened in different browser tabs in a matter of seconds, ready to rock. Again, priceless! Here's the result (just for giggles):
I have only 2 minor issues that hopefully Acer will fix on the upcoming update:
- GPS not properly working (or not working at all, while the iPhone locks to the satellites almost instantly);
- Random wake/sleep bug.
At the end of the day, I think it's a matter of life quality and 450 bucks sounds like a very small investment for what I've gained so far using the Iconia. Definitely a keeper for its price and specs. Thumbs up, Acer!

I like mine a lot, I hope Acer fix GPS, in my X10 gps lock almost instantly without wifi or 3g, I miss that feature.

Love it, great stuff, it certainly does change how you access the net, read, music etc.
I love the music player and browser, also got the american google book app which looks fantastic and is real smooth, but cant add your own books so not much use...
I have been into computers for a long long time, and I can safely say that tablets are the first real game changer, even more so than laptops...
We are all blessed to have one of these devices (or any new tablet) to be able to enjoy and use in our lives.
Enjoy

I aslo agree, I love this new form of computing. I have a big, loud, and sometimes room warming gaming desktop. It feels great to not sanction myself off in the corner of the room to pay bills, reply to emails, and do basic things. All while not staring down my on my phones screen.

im buying it for sure!
thanks for the nice info.....

yeah I feel the same I use my Acer iconia A500 all day so far I'm very satisfied but just feel like we need more developer support like the Asus and xoom if you look at their forums they already have custom themes I want that but even if we don't get it oh well I still love my tablet the same

I enjoy the hell out of mine. I didn't buy it to be a supercomputer, if I wanted an Ipad2 I would have bought one. Plain and simple, the Iconia does what I bought it for, web browsing, music, video and a few games now and then. It came down to a choice between a new laptop or a tablet. I wanted the portability of the tablet and didn't want another device tethered to Itunes. I'm glad I bought mine and I also understand this tablet is still very early in its development and should mature well over time. Did I expect absolute perfection from day one, nope, but I'm glad I got what I did and I'm going to stick with it.

Love mine for many reasons, but this is #1

I use a 1TB WD drive on mine, works great.

just to be fair with Acer, after the latest update, my 2 main issues (wake up bug and dead GPS), seem to be solved. Thanks for listening, Acer.

This is how I feel as well. You know they get it right when you can't see yourself without a certain piece of tech.
Can you live without a cell phone? Sure! Would you if you didn't have to? Doubtful.
This is the sentiment I hold for my A500. I will be the first to admit that it's not necessary. But boy is life better/more convenient, etc. with it around.
I won't complain about the price, though I suspect Acer could have done a little better than $450. Still, we are paying a premium as somewhat, first adopters. Eventually I'm sure parts will become cheaper, as well as assembly and somewhere down the line the price will be more in line with what I consider to be perfect (aka $400 or less).

Your reasons were exactly why I went with the Acer over the Xoom although Im pretty sure they will get things sorted out. I hope both are a success as I really want to see some app development on the commercial side (games etc).

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.

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.

it's nice so far. it does not feel cheap in my hand like some other tabs i played with. it was a toss up between this and the transformer. this won because of native netflix support.

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.
Wanna buy it ;-)

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.

Galaxy Note... still happy

I have had my Note for about 2 months now. I continue to be very happy with my purchase, and I have become very accustomed to the 5.3" screen. Its hard to look at other people's small 3.5" screens and not laugh.
I just wondered what everyone else's experiences have been, and are you enjoying your Note? Any regrets?
See ya
JOHN

I don't really use mine anymore.
I carry my 4S and a Galaxy Nexus.
I'm pretty disappointed in Samsung's lack of 4.0 update as well. Meh.

Still LOVE my NOTE!!! I own other devices and even own the Galaxy Nexus but this is BY FAR my FAVORITE device right now and probably my favorite device since owning Android devices!!!
+1 on the Screen Size thing too!!! This thing is a SEXY BEAST!!!

I am very happy with my Note. Had it for about 3 weeks now. I love the big screen and the fast cpu. Only thing I miss is 4.0.
Coming from Galaxy Nexus I miss a bit. But when we get it, it will be game over.

I have mine for about 2 months too !
and I love it !!!!

2nd Month, Never been happier with a phone like this.
Not missing anything, Has everything I expect in a Mobile Device.

I'm quite happy with it, but a few days ago I damn near sold it for a Nexus. I don't use the stylus much any more, and would love to have something slightly more pocketable. I still might do it.

I have had mine for a month and I cant stop playing with it. I still have my epic 4g touch galaxy s 2 and I can't stand using it because the screen is too small!

Galaxy Nexus is a great phone. But you might regret that trade.

I've criticized Galaxy Note on multiple occasions, mostly on the stylus-relate software that has plenty of rough corners and completely dysfunctional behaviour. That said, I criticize everything anyways, it's only healthy to be able to see both upsides and downsides and not just get blinded by one's own rose-tinted glasses.
However, despite its few shortcomings I still view it as a really nice phone and I see no reason to bother with other phones at the moment. Personally I'd love to run MeeGo on it, have an actual hardware button for camera, and have NFC on it, otherwise I find it perfectly useable and fulfilling. I do not know of any currently-selling phone model that would offer MeeGo+NFC+H/W camera button+5.3" 720p S-AMOLED-screen+microSD-support+proper digitizer pen, and thus I will be using my Note for years to come.

I've.had my note for about 2 months..it's the perfect mobile device I'm my eyes...I really don't use the stylus much...I honestly wish the screen was bigger 6 inch screen....I have large hands I was very happy when this fone was released....I don't need ICS to complete the deal....

Obviously blinded by the sun and thus stumbled whilst leaving the basement having a temper tantrum.....still can't find his dummy.

I love my galaxy note. As mentioned before, going back to smaller screens feels weird.
As of the galaxy nexus... Had that, no comparison to the note. ICS might be nice, but: can anyone tell me what FUNCTIONALITY they gained??? Only thing I know is I can't mount my sd card anymore on a PC... And 16GB of memory, no sd card neither... Please... The display is nice for the little device, though completely unusable if you want some correct colours...
The note... Gorgeous, huge display, battery, yet slim. Pen input (note taking and all else) is splendid. Would have a hard time losing that.
I'm looking forward to the ICS update for the additional pen functionality, not that much for the Android update... A side note to those who need ICS on the very first day: many applications didn't handle it very well, it's but now, that it starts working out. No wonder with a slim percentage of devices having it. I definitely prefer waiting a bit longer until things have settled...
N7000 rocks!

atm i have ipod touch 4g and galaxy note white. I cant imagine my life without note, especially when appeared dungeon hunters 3 game for android

Very happy. Sometimes i think...man, it's just too big, but then i use it and all this go away cause i realize why it's so big.
And come on, really guys, stop whining about ICS...i mean can't you just wait one more month ? ICS update is just one con...there's a lot of pros you seem to be forgetting.

I am extremely happy with my Galaxy note, had it since November and its still in perfect condition with no scratches on it whatsoever except that it sometimes need cleaning to keep it shiny as for the phone...I can't imagine going any smaller than 5" and for £629.99 that I paid...it was money well spent, I would have easily paid £800 for it, the best phone on the market even against those quad-cores because I don't think that much power is actually needed or will ever get used.

Had mine for 5 months. I use it as my office and no other phone I'v seen can do the job this beast can. Am still very happy

I love my phone it is gifted from my girlfriend , I became addicted to it, now i dont like any other phones because
1. they are not HD amoled screen looking at them is not pleasant to eyes somewhat annoying.
2. I am addicted to size of its screen which is awesome and very good size people really get curious when they see such big screen.
3. I am more of software person so installing and running application is very good in note.
4. Battery is also good.
5. Color is white.
6. AWesome loud ringtone.
7. easy to use cr4cked applications
8. latest phone
and the list goes on and on but enough for now
no offence to any other phone holders : Peace:

10 years ago i bought nokia n-gage and wow that was happy times.
3 months ago i bought Note and i hope it will be happy time at least for a year from now

The screen is awesome, and so are the specs..However, I am on two wheels 90% of the time. Size and weight are biggies with me.
Right now I am still within my return period on my GN 2014, along with my tax refund to take up the difference. I was going to snatch the 64gb one... But, after looking at the size, compared it to my 10.1, it is just too much..I travel very light on two wheels. Either on motorcycle or bicycle, space is premium.
Now, if they came with another 10.1 pro, I be on it, especially since I am in my return window..
Again, this thing is too big..

As a math teacher this looks like a great teaching tool for notes and lessons!

Same here... in my profession... I definitely need this. but I prefer the LTE version Screen size for me is the best.
...

First impressions
Well, I've had my 32gb WiFi Galaxy Note Pro for 2 days now.
The screen is superb. I absolutely love it.
The size looks much larger than expected, in terms of feel, than my Note 10.1 2014 - a huge difference when watching video.
I have experienced no lag at all.
The TouchWiz UX is OK - but the magazine home screen I cannot get on with. The content is too restrictive and doesn't cover my interests. Also, you cannot remove the Magazine screen - grrrr!
Also have a problem writing to the micro SDCard - see my other post.
Still early days yet but a general 'thumbs up' from me.

Yes, I really want this, but first things first.
- I need to be able to sell my Nexus 10 for a decent price before I can buy this.
- I'll not be an early adopter/unpaid beta tester. I want lots of reviews (both pro and amateur) before I make a commitment.
- I suspect this tablet will be huge with the custom ROM community. I'll wait until there's some solid ROM development going on.

I've always found the 10" tablets too small to be really useful, in particular since I've almost always had a large phone with me. Currently the GN3. 10" was too big to carry in a pocket and too small to be useful on the go. So if I'm going to have to carry it in a bag/case, might as well go with a moderately larger screen size. But not too big so as to become heavy and bulky if I want to use it on a plane, vehicle, or even couch.
With this form factor, I'm hoping it'll fit right in between my 5.7" phone and 15" notebook, depending on where I'm going and what I want to do.
Mine gets here Friday. Yay.

Bought mine from BCC yesterday here in the Netherlands.
This tablet is simply amazing. The extra screen real estate makes it so much more useful. Makes you really wonder why no one else tried a larger display the last three years.

Not noticeably.
Only minor annoying thing is that some elements are just to large for this display, but that's a general Android thing. I'm afraid I gonna need to tweak the density (like it's done in the good old days).

Hope it will get rooted soon so we can run custom roms bye bye UX

Almost $840 after shipping and tax from Best Buy in the States. I may be a fool for spending nearly a thousand dollars on a tablet, but at least I know I'm not the only one. .. looking forward to getting my hands on it!

Yes, I really want this, but first things first.
- I need to be able to sell my Nexus 10 for a decent price before I can buy this.
- I'll not be an early adopter/unpaid beta tester. I want lots of reviews (both pro and amateur) before I make a commitment.
- I suspect this tablet will be huge with the custom ROM community. I'll wait until there's some solid ROM development going on.

I suspect the opposite as its too expensive to be mainstream and its Samsung which has not been developer friendly. Do these new tabs come with Knox?
