I was pissed when i heard this cuz i just but the Asus Transformer 3weeks ago and now i hear about this.. This Nexus Tablet batter make it toss my Asus Transformer out the window.. Cuz i dont see no improvement hardware wise with the galaxy nexus vs galaxy s2

if you want one now, the xoom is basically an nexus tablet. well just have wait an see, for an few months.

If Nexus Tab:Nexus Phone::Galaxy Tab:Galaxy Phone, I'll stick with Galaxy phones and tabs for superior hardware, since Touchwiz is becoming driver support rather than ui.

I can totally understand that. I would be pissed too!
How has the Transformer been for you so far? Any regrets buying it besides a newer model coming out?

Ya I do want one now! I have trying to hold out for the Transformer 2, but I have almost went and grabbed something else on a couple occasions now. ;-) Normally I am fairly patient though, so I can wait if I think I'm getting a better product. I have looked at the xoom a couple times. Something rubs me wrong with it though. Maybe the whole Motorola and locked boot loader fiasco. I am not sure this applies to the xoom however and maybe just their phones. I keep getting the feeling of some hidden hoopla I'm going to run across.

It's been hard for me not to just grab a samsung tab and be done with it! I have enjoyed my epic and the hardware has been outstanding! I guess there are two things keeping me from doing that
.
1) The tegra 3 quad core in the prime. (hardware)
2) Just wanting something a lil different from my phone I guess.
The main things that are important to me is hardware, and developer support. The Epic would just not be the same without either of those! So, I want that in a tablet as well.
I also will need to get a windows 8 tablet due to my job so I wanted to keep the price down on the android tablet. However that Transformer Primes hardware and promises of ICS soon is making that tough! ;-)

Well, from doing some more digging with google it looks like their tablet is still 6 months away.
However, I am in the market for a tablet before then. Looks like google won't be getting my money this time around!
Hopefully they will release details on specs at CES in January as I am curious what's in it.

IM loving this thing. I use it for everything .. I just wish it had a lil more support when it comes to development.. No im not upset about prime cuz i got my transformer for a good deal and plus quad-core is only good for gaming which i dont do much of on a tablet..

Agree - I've been eyeing a Galaxy Tab myself, thinking of upgrading from the Nook. Hopefully though, the Google tablet does happen - the more choices, the merrier

If you hold tight, I'm sure there will be a TON of development for that device. It's the premire Android Tablet right now, so I expect some great things for it. Since it's so new and not everyone has one yet, dev will be a bit slow at the get-go, but I can assure you, it will pick up...and you'll be very happy.

LOL! I know what you mean! I never really liked the form factor of any of the nexus series phones. But thats just me. I do however really LOOOOVE the design of the Galaxy S series ( captivate, infuse, sgs2 and Note) I already played with the Samsung media player at Best Buy which is exactly the same form factor as the Note with the exception of the pen, and immediately thought to myself, this can definitely work for me.
Im hoping the note is 199 on upgrade, and not 250 though!

Perfect, just in time for my upgrade.

Eh, I'll wait for something else or the SGSIII.

It would probably take a lot of time and effort as the tab 2 is based on an entirely different SOC. By the time we can get something working there will probably be an official update out for us.
Good luck for anyone who wants to give the a try though!

I think they were referring to the port of sense 4 for the nexus s but it would be pretty cool for us! I shame the hox resolution is just below our tabs!

XDA is no longer worth my time.

If you could have waited for the firmware to come out. Our tab and tab 2 would make no difference except the name has 2 I it and the chipset. That's all. Why port when you can wait for a little little longer

If you really want to do something, find a way to write a camera driver for ICS!
I don't write FW, hell I can barely write PC code...but couldn't the camera driver for an older version be used as a starting point? Voice of ignorance asking here.

Samsung and Google didn't release HC source, so there is no way currently to use the old camera driver of the older version.
It should be coming soon though, if ICS for Tab is actually rolling out next month.

How is this possible? I thought android is licensed under the GPL so it is mandatory to provide the sourcecode either public or upon request.

He was just asking who here plans on purchasing the Note 2 and, although there isn't much point to it, there isn't any need to get offensive. But, back on topic, I will most definitely not be purchasing the Note 2 (regardless of how much of an improvement it is) as I am on 2-year contract that won't allow me to get an upgraded device for another year at least. Besides, the Note does everything I've wanted in a phone, so what point is there in replacing it? As long as I get Jelly Bean, which this device should be getting, I am happy!

I skipped galaxy s 3 for note 2. So I ll be one of the early sparrow.
But somehow I feel like getting my hands on xiaomi phone 2. Its half the price compared to note 2 or S 3.but not available here. So my choice note 2

There was no official release yet about the actual spec of note 2. I could'nt decide..
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

I'm not buying the note 2 purely because its a waste of cash to upgrade after a year to something slightly better, which I will make no use of...for example, why would I want a quad core phone when my Note runs perfectly fine at 1GHz playing games etc? The battery is a different issue though, I would like the slightly bigger screen size but it won't be that much bigger.
Finally...I won't be buying a Note 2 because there is nothing new in terms of a 'feel good about' factor, just a faster processor and bigger screen will only make me smile for a week or so and then die away ...then what?

Already pre ordered from my provider..

After bricking my Note into uselesness will punish myself and get the new Iphone on the first day same as I did with the Note.

I will buy it. Already arranged to sell first galaxy note to my friend for quarter of the price at october.

Maybe...I'm not sure. I'm trying to sell my current note as of now. Was thinking about picking up a galaxy nexus to be honest.
I don't know. My note is on eBay for now awaiting a good price...lol.
Haven't even decided if I will sell it for real. I guess time will tell.

Here's a weird-er answer.
I'll get it IF it has a better camera than the S3. If not...I have to say I'll be going towards the S3...
Or find something better to do with my money for a start.....

i know i should wait, and keep my Galaxy Note for atleast 1 more year. My boss, my wife and everybody that i know think i should wait...!
- But i cant...!
I have to have it... This has to be some kind of a mental illness.. But i need to have it regardless of the specs haha

No couldn't fix it, sold it for $150 and raised another $350, so for now I have an access to $500 for my new phone account ! ! .
Anyway now that I don't own a Note I don't think I even should be here in this forum anymore.
Good and better luck to you all.

I'll do what i always do....buy the first used ones showing up....after reading about the early adopters disappointments.
Then use my current phone as a backup and guinea pig for interesting ROMS I normally won't try

I already sold my N7000
and will take it if they put Exynos 5250 processor :cyclops:

Found it. I swear it wasn't there when I looked this morning. Anyway, it says:

with a link to the Premium Suite video and that's it.
So, it's not really anything new.

Honestly? Look - I'm not a big Samsung fan - they definitely have some seriously wonky business practices - moreso since I'm in Canada and they can't get their act together up here and decide if we're their favourite country or we're just a joke... and no one carries accessories for their products up here anyway - but here's the thing...
I own a ton of Samsung computer products because as much as it annoys me these two facts keep drawing me back...
1. They may be annoying - but the only real alternative left is Apple.
2. They are the ONLY company that makes damn near *exactly* what I want. Apple doesn't. Asus gets close - but then keeps blowing it. Microsoft.. please. Acer - how is life in 2008?
Samsung is the new Sony. They're Apple with a sense of weirdness that makes their products interesting instead of always being about fash and status.
So, like I said elsewhere - I may not like them much - but there really isn't anything better to jump to.

" Microsoft.. please. Acer - how is life in 2008?"
Very funny!
All true, and exactly how I feel re: other manufacturers. Others get close, sometimes, but never quite there.
And to the poster who is going to return his Note for a Nexus because JB hasn't arrived yet - go get a life. Borrow one, steal one, heck buy one. Seriously. Get a little perspective.

Lol I don't know why you're acting like they've done something wrong to you. In there announcements they said the Note 10.1 will get Jelly Bean in Q4, So unless it's January 2013 there is no point wasting your time getting frustrated.
If I was you I would look at the Nexus 10 forums first lol, all they are doing is saying maybe we should return it and get a Note 10.1.
I'm seeing a lot of this "the grass looks greener on the other side"
Anyway my Nexus 10 comes next week :fingers-crossed:

Less drivel ftw!
Most of us made it this long... Besides, this works fine as is i can wait.

I'll bet that JB will not be out for all regions by the end of the year.

I returned my Nexus 10 as I'm happier with the Note 10.1. Also, much happier with the new Note II addition compared to Nexus 10 especially since it has JB to tide me over until it comes to Note 10.1. Once you go Note it's hard to go back to a consumption only tablet.

Seriously, if you want JB that bad, spend an hour and update to the German release and stop whining.
