Galaxy Tab...Epic win?

What do you guys think? Will a 7' screen be enough? If I got one I would get wifi only so I can tether with my Epic. I wish it was SAMOLED.

Personally, I think a 7' screen is a bit overkill for a mobile device. That's just me though.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

You got served
Anyways I think 6 inch and 7.5 inches will be alright to keep it portable

I wasn't aware that a Wifi-only version would exist, either. I wonder how that affect Market status.

its sad i want one but what does it do that my phone cant?
same specs too right?

Yeah, it doesn't seem like the tab has anything on the epic at all other than screen size. It seems like a very introductory product that won't be anywhere near the level of the iPad (as much as I hate to say it). I'm sure if we give it another year there will be one that's better than the iPad.

personally, i am a "pocket guy" when it comes to phones. i dont do clips. the Epic is about as big as I'd get and still be able to pocket the sucker.
i just dont get devices like the Tab or the dell streak or whatever hitting that 5-7 inch mark and still marketing it as mobile as a phone. i feel like they're trying to copy apple and invent a new product, the ipad was a risk but its paying off, i feel like these other companies would do better to directly copy the ipad and make an even larger device like 9-10 inches, a true tablet. i'm not digging the phone/tablet crossovers, to me its too big to be a phone and too small to be a tablet and get FULL web browsing capability.
just my .02

If the wifi-only version price really is $500 that'll torpedo it right there considering the base wifi-only iPad is the same price. I love my Epic, but if I had to choose between those 2 I'd get the iPad. Put the wifi-only version of the Galaxy tab at $350 and then it makes more sense IMO.

But you wouldn't have access to all the paid apps on the android market that you purchased if you chose the ipad.
And the modding possibilities!
The Tab also lasts longer than a epic..battery wise. Its a great home multitasking utility. I would def use it as a ereader/movie player as well as automating some tasks in my home.

Regardless, if that's what you're looking for, the iPad is MUCH better. I'm a huge fan of Android & I dislike Apple but the tab is really the iPad's little brother. It just doesn't compare.

I'll wait for 2nd Gen looks cool though, I'd love to have an android OS pad

That doesn't make any sense. The Galaxy Tab is nothing like the iPad. If you wanna compare things compare the iPad to every other tablet that came before it. Comparing the Galaxy Tab is like comparing it to the Blackberry Playbook.
http://www.mwd.com/2010/09/ipad-vs-samsung-galaxy-tab-vs-dell-streak-and/

actuallu thinking about it it would make one hell of an xbmc remote...

The Galaxy tab costs 600 dollars so no, it will probably fail.

Eh... if I were to get a tablet, it would probably be an iPad. I have android on my phone. I don't need a replicated device on a larger screen. I'd also have more games to play on the iPad which would be fun

New 7" GTab

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.

Actually i love the 7" form factor, and i saw many ppl like it too.
the 7" market may still be small, but it is growing.

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.
Regards,
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

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

[q] wanna buy new tab

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.

If i were you i would stop posting in the acer forum, don't think you have any knowledge about what you are posting about, all three tab in question is in my household. The acer can hold its ground with the best of them with, For starters i think acer dev's are more advance than sammy's...

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
seriously honey comb is a whole new GENERATION of android
also is ICS is coming then its more than awesome

+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.

Which one is the best?

What is your main purpose for purchase? does screen quality matter?

Why are these two even ditectly compared? One is a 7" tablet, the other is a phone. So what are you looking for? A tablet or a phone?

One is a phone, one is a tablet phone if you get the 3G version like I did. It replaced my SGS2. I had the same decision to make. The number one question to ask yourself then is if you need a device in your POCKET all day to be contacted on. The answer for my life currently, is no. My tab goes from home to my car to my office desk. I also carry it in my jacket pocket when I must (like when I'm in town without my wife and may need to be contacted) but for practicality reasons I'm murse shopping for when summer comes around.
A good test I did myself is see if you have a way or mind carrying a book or notepad of similar size for a week. It made no impact on my life, so I got the tab. I completely understand this doesn't work for a lot of people though, you just need to find out what your needs are (pro/con list to the rescue!).
ps, there are other things to consider too of course. The Nexus has a better camera and direct OS updates from the mother land. Everything else as far as I'm concerned goes towards a 3g Tab 7.7.
To each his own!

Look like you want a combination phone and tablet I think. That's the reason why you make that comparison.
If you have a phone you would like to get a Galaxy tab 7.7 then. If you dont have a phone I would suggest you the galaxy nexus. Or you might think obout galaxy NOTE. It's very unconvenient to use tab 7.7 as a phone.
I have a HTC sensation XE and a tablet 7.7. If i only have to choose one i would like to get galaxy NOTE. It's a 5.3 inches phone.

Wait until the official announcement of the Galaxy S3, the Nexus will be about $150 cheaper then as it will be a forgotten phone when that beast comes out.

Replaced My 7.7 With a Nexus 10

I've replaced my excellant 7.7 with the excellant Nexus 10 which is the only Android tablet which is better for my needs than the 7.7 mainly because of the much better screen resolution.
If Samsung had updated the 7.7 with a similar screen resolution and added s-pen support then I would have bought another 7.7 for it is more portable.
However, with no sign of Samsung about to make the changes that I need then I decided to get the Nexus 10 in case the changes never appear.
I would just like to thank all on this forum for the support which helped me get the most from my 7.7.

The 7.7 is for me without doubt the best tablet ever made. I love mine and will never give it up. The form factor/ design is beautiful. With ics this baby is very useable and quick. It's a shame it never had the market it truly deserved.
I have since bought a note 10.1 - only for the wacom tech. Must be honest, i don't like the design of the note. Also the screen res while adequate is nothing to write home about. Overall, It just doesn't feel as "premium" as the 7.7.
The jellybean update on 10.1 has provided a killer feature - multiview.
I want too bothered with no jb for 7.7.. But nowthat i have used multiview i am really craving it for the darling 7.7.

Well send a big Thank you to Apple for killing the sales of the 7.7 worldwide, making it too expensive for Samsung to develop JB for it.
Lets just hope that CM can pick up the exynos sources one day.

If it comes out for the note hopefully it will come out for the 7.7, shouldn't be much work for them.
