No, the Note does not replace my Ipad but it does replace my HTC View. It is still a pain to browse with the note. I find the note replaces a 7" but not a 10". 10 inch is nice for PDF tech books, textbooks and newspapers. Even watching a movie is much better. My girl friend loves "MY BIG 10 INCH" tablet. Sorry, had quote the song. I love the old Aerosmith stuff from the 70s.
I think magazine and ebooks application are much better on a 10 inch tab

I would actually have to disagree. I was planning to get the new ASUS Transformer Infinity when it was going to be released, but not anymore now that I've got a Note. It's the perfect size IMO between a phone and a tablet and there's no use for a tablet now. It also helps having a Macbook air on the side =)
On weight and portability the Note wins hands down if you're gonna use it for extended period of time, specially for an old rat like myself, both of my 10.1 tabs went to wife and son .
However a Windows 8 tab, now that's a different story.
i've got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v and the note doesn't replace it. It's even cooler to see your pictures on a 10.1" screen
But if there is a situation where i can't go with my tablet or i doesn't want to carry it around the Note is a good alternative
I sold my Motorola Xoom after I bought the note.
So my note did actually replace my tablet.
The Note screen is big enough to be used like a Tablet and if you buy a Samsung WPS WIFI printer and WPS router then it can replace a laptop for printing too.
my Xoom has been dead since January when I got the phone
I have the Apple iPad and the Samsung Galaxy Note and I think the SGN totally replaces the iPad, except for one thing:
If there is an app which you want and which is exclusive to the iPad, then you have no choice!
The form-factor is OK, in my opinion. The big advantage is that the iPad always stayed home (too big and valuable to carry around, along with my iPhone).
No I have the SGN and I HAVE to take it with me. This way I end up with a phone and a (small) tablet everywhere I go. That, in my opinion, is the major advantage.
Also, the iPad1 and iPad2 only have 1024x768 screen resolution, which means that the SGN can render more stuff on the screen. You just need to be able to read them.
The best advice: try yourself! If you can read the screen, you get a 2 in 1 device.

Note replaced both my iPhone and iPad. Very happy with this, a single device to do all the stuff.

Webpage browsing awesome. Movies awesome. Email and messaging great!
My eyesight not so good but I can zoom in without needing my reading glasses.
It will never replace a 10" tablet but for portability I have never found anything as good - as brilliant - as the Note!

+1. Exactly my thoughts. My iPad lies gathering dust at home these days.
i dont know if it replaces a 10 inches tablet
for me all i can say is "WTS asus eeepad with keyboard".... pm me if you want to buy it in italy....ciao ciao eeepad
I've got a HP Touchpad and used it daily when I had my iPhone. Since getting the GNote, I've used it only a few times - as a video player in the back of my car, to see what ICS was like, and to get past particular mission on GTA 3 where the smaller screen on the Note (compared to 10 inch one on the tab) were causing dexterity issues!
Other than that its been GNote all the way and I've never been happier with a phablet.

It hasn't replaced my windows 7 tablet for taking notes but it definitely has replaced my 7 inch tablet for games.
i currently have the prime and got gf the 7inch nexus. i've been using it and am impressed with the speed and am thinking of switching from my prime.
i use my prime at work for a lot of note taking, wondering if anyone in the similar scenario made the switch.
I have a GTAB 10.1 and am going to use the nexus for about a month then decide which I want to keep.

have a Xoom...in my honest opinion...7" is a wee bit small but I'm adjusting... ill probably carry both with me but I feel like an 8.9 would be perfect.
What is wrong with keeping both a 10" and a 7"?
I have a 10" tablet that (just barely) fits in my purse, buts its inconvenient. I prefer the 10" screen size for couch surfing over my Galaxy Nexus or laptops. When my preorder arrives, I imagine that the Nexus 7 will become my travel tab, and at some point I am looking to buy something like the 10" Infinity for couch surfing.
I went from an Archos 70 IT 7" 400x800 to Xoom 10.1" 1280 x 800, and now the N7's 7" 1280 x 800.
I realized that i actually really always liked the 7" form factor, i just needed a higher res display, the N7 is doing the trick nicely.

That's good to hear. I haven't gotten my Nexus 7 yet, but I already sold my TF101. The TFT101 was slightly big for my liking.
I'm coming from a tf201 while the screen is smaller on a N7, the performance on the N7 is fantastic compared to the Prime.
Came from a TF300 and I like the N7 a lot more. Its easier to type on, hold, and carry. The PPI is also bad ass.

Cam from a TF101 and I have to say that I am much happier.
I am missing the extra screen just a bit but its MUCH easier to carry around.
Love it!
Selling 1st gen ipad tomorrow, i am using it mainly for reading, i was afraid of it but i can hold in in one hand and read 10px font without problem, ppi is far more superior so it can fit more text on screen, so i dont need to turn page a lot (i know im lazy)
Yeah, I have a Viewsonic Gtab at the moment which I mainly use for reading manga. My main concern with the N7 is that the manga pages won't fill the whole screen but with the higher resolution and DPI of the N7 I'm almost certain my concern is moot.
Came from a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to the Nexus 7, still getting used to the size but I do personally find it a bit on the small side. Although the PPI is sexy.
I sold a 64gb Ipad 3rd Gen for it...
Have the original Asus Transformer which my 4yr daughter uses more than me actually and benefits from the games and puzzles so I'm keeping it. I'm going to be using N7 a lot and commuting with it to/from work as soon as the screen cover and case come in. The Transformer was just a little too heavy with all the other things I carry esp in this hot weather.
I'm having a bit tougher time, I have a Tab 8.9 LTE as well, and it's a great 2011 tablet, especially since it doesn't have a Tegra 2 (Snapdragon S3), does have LTE, and is a good size for long term use.
I suspect I'll be keeping it along with the Nexus 7, especially if ICS releases for it in the next few weeks like they promised. If nothing else, it's a better "Netflix in the loo" device.
I went from 10in Gtab > Kindle Fire > iPad 2 > Nexus 7
I really like the 7in form factor. 10 inch tablets are a pain to carry around (imho). I liked that I could keep my Kindle Fire in my back pocket or in my jacket. I cant wait for my N7 to arrive tomorrow!
Hello,
How are you?
So, I'm thinking about buying a tablet.
My main goal is to have a biggest, more comfortable device for web browsing to complement my galaxy nexus.
I was thinking about a nexus 7, but being too close on size to my nexus, made me consider a 10 inch model.
I liked the fact that the nexus 7 is updated by Google and runs stock android, but there seems to be a good community of support for Samsung tabs, and with ROMs like cm9 and cm10, that might not be the deal breaker.
I also looked at the Acer a700, because of its screen. The high res is really appealing, but the price is around 400.
I can get a sweet deal on a tab 10.1, for 200 Euros. So, is it a good bet today?
Thanks.
Cheers

The reason I'm interested in the tab 10.1 is mainly the price.
At this time I don't know if I would use a tablet all that much.
At first I'm guessing I would just use it in the couch to do some web browsing.
When I go out, I usually just take my nexus in my pocket and it pretty much covers my on the go needs.
If I have a tablet, I might take out out sometimes, but my fear is not using it enough. That's why I am not thinking about a tf700 or iPad 3. I just think I would not use them enough and would probably feel sorry for spending 600 on a device to sit on the shelf...
Anyway, does the tab 10.1 still holds it's own against those tegra 3 tablets?
How is web browsing with the screen's low PPI?
Cheers

I got my wife a Tab 10.1 on clearance ($250) a couple of months ago. I bought my Nexus 7 at the same time. The only time there's a difference between us performance-wise is 3d gaming. All other times there's no real difference.
EDIT: She's very happy with the device for web browsing.

Thank you for your reply.
That is really helpful.
can you tell me your opinion about the difference in PPI from both models, since they both have the same resolution, but the nexus is smaller?
Also, how is the tab for typing with the thumbs in portrait mode?
Cheers
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
A modded 10.1 with performance tweaks is a joy to use. Battery life is sick @ 7000mah too. I have one for myself and one for the wife and they're wonderful. The kernel I'm running is OC'd to 1.4GHz and GPU @ 400 so while it's still not a match for newer devices, 3d games are still running nicely. A build.prop tweak for increasing buffer size will make web browsing even more enjoyable and most custom roms account for that, I've found.
In portrait mode the tab is still a bit wide...if you have long thumbs you shouldn't have any issues. If you were cursed with bitty digits stick with landscape and key the way you normally would.
I don't know anything about the Tegra 3 devices but I can tell you about my experience with the GT7500 . The main reason I got it was for Web browsing and watching video content on my daily commute. I really like using using this device and I may be imagining it but the display seems crisper since ICS updated. If you can get one really cheap I say buy it
I think it is
I think it is an option, is fast, convenient and runs android. The only think i guess should be reconsidered, is the price since with the introduction of the Kindle Fire HD, its price is now prohibitive.
If you can get it for under 250, I would think so. If you're a spec freak, you might prefer a quad core but you'll pay a lot more for a ten incher.
It depends on what you plan on doing on the tablet.
Yes, I can get it under 250 and I just plan on using it for web browsing, tapatalk, some note taking, videos... no gaming. Just maybe the occasional angry birds type of game.

İn my opinion,in this year (Q4 2012) Galaxy tab 10.1 is still nice tablet.but in 2013 GTab 10.1 become old.my advice is you should not take it.wait 2013 :good:
Hello.
I know it is not state of the art, but all I want is a tablet to web browse on the couch or on the coffee shop.
I am also thinking about an original Motorola xoom. It is almost the same specs as the tab 10.1, but it runs stock android without the need for custom ROMs.
If I get any of the two cheap enough, maybe I could resell them in a couple of months and then pick a better 2013 tablet without much loss.
And until then I could have a nice tablet to browse...
Thoughts?
Does a 1920x1200 screen make a huge difference in browsing experience? Is it worth twice the money?
Cheers! And thanks

Argos have been knocking them out at "half price" in the UK. Mainly 3G models left for home delivery. Likely to be as rare as hens teeth in store. I've ordered a 16GB 3G model for £250 (it's being delivered tomorrow ). Seems like good value to me.

I can tell you that prior to the ICS update, I was very unhappy with the Galaxy Tab 10.1. It was frustratingly slow, and using it was not a pleasant experience. Then I bought a Nexus 7 and totally fell in love with it. I did end up tweaking it with Nova launcher, but did not root it. After the ICS update I still wasn't happy with the performance of the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Then I added Nova launcher and the same tweaks as for the Nexus 7. Did not root the Galaxy tablet either. And the performance seems to have improved so I am no longer complaining. However, I have to say that I still rarely use the 10" tablet. For me the 7" form factor and the higher pixel density works better. Or the weight. The 10" tablet never leaves the house, and rarely leaves the bedroom. The 7" tablet goes everywhere. I would recommend giving some thought to what size works for you best. Each has it's advantages and disadvantages. The 10" tablet should be better at note taking. I've seen lots of comments that the 10" should be better for videos and web browsing, but that hasn't been my experience. The Nexus 7 seems to have more apps available for it. For example, Flipboard is available for the Nexus 7, but not for the Galaxy tab. (It works fine on the Galaxy tablet, you just can't get the apk from the Google Play store.) If I had $250 to spend and did not have either tablet, I would either buy the Nexus 7, or save up for a better 10" tablet. I don't think the original Galaxy Tab 10.1 is worth $250, not when you can get a tablet that works better for $199.
For the usage you describe either the galaxy tab 10.1 or the xyboard would suffice (the later having microSD expandability). If the Asus Transformer TF300 is in the same price range the it is worthy of a look too (tegra 3), though I'm not sure what the status of development is for that device.
It has taken a long time for development to get to the point that it has for the galaxy tab 10.1 due to how long Samsung decided to wait to release ICS. CM9 development is far along with CM10 still needing work. There are some great devs here as in other device forums.
As for screen resolution one would expect that despite the color accuracy issues of the nexus 7's screen the higher pixel density of that panel would render text better and in my comparison between the two (I own both) that is the case so I would expect no different from a 1080p screen on a 10-inch form factor. That said the 10.1 does have a very nice panel and it's adequate for the use you describe.
Its great that you're doing the research so that you enter into your purchase eyes wide open. Know that you're buying into an aging platform and make sure you can live with the tradeoffs that come with that in order to get the lower price you're looking for.

I thank you for your insights!
There are really helpful info here!
In regard to the nexus 7, it is a device that is also on my mind. Mainly because as I said, I love my nexus phone and the whole nexus experience of stock android and updates from Google.
Does who own both, how is the web browsing on the 7? Does the higher PPI makes up for the smaller screen?
How is using nexus 7 vs a smartphone like the galaxy nexus? Very different? Or is it a close experience?
Cheers and thanks!

I own a Galaxy Tab 10.1.. I had the same issues with it as you did. Yes it's a big difference from the N7 but for me it made ALL the difference. Portrait mode is perfect to use and type on and landscape mode is perfect for web browsing.. 10.1 was just too bulky for me.. I always felt burdened by it like I was carrying around a computer monitor and not a convenient and productive piece of technology.
My Tab 10.1 now sits on the shelf as I wait for pershoot to pump out some new CM10 builds for it and I plan to just use it as a media center interface. Meanwhile me, my Nexus S and N7 are attached at the hip
I had a 10" HP Touchpad with CM9 that I really liked, but after using a friend's Nexus 7 for a little while, I decided to sell the Touchpad while they were still selling on eBay fora decent amount and buy a Nexus 7. I have had the Nexus for a couple weeks now and have found I use it a lot more than I did the Touchpad since it is a lot more convenient. Also, now when I pick up my wife's iPad, it feels HUGE and unwieldy!
I have not missed the larger screen at all.

I like the 7" size, as it seems to be a happy medium. It's easy to hold with one hand and read. Its comfortable in landscape mode and much more comfortable for playing games. It's easy to carry and to toss into my purse or a pack. I don't watch movies much but it's a nice personal size for viewing. My other device is a HP touchpad and it feels large and heavy in comparison.

Sold my Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB WiFi for the money to buy an 8GB Nexus7, and didn't regret it for an instant. It's actually portable, it's ridiculously fast, and while it has a smaller screen than the GTab10.1, it's the same resolution, which results in a much more crisp picture.
We now have two Nexus7's in the house: an 8GB and a 16GB. We'll be adding a 32GB as soon as they start showing up for purchase.

Nevermind the GTAB 10.1 had a bug in portrait mode that caused it to lag like hell.. Even their ICS update had it. Samsung really screwed the pooch with the tab 10.1.. It seriously under performed considering it was a dual core tegra 2.

Sold mine as soon as the n7 came out. Hadn't made it to ICS yet. I hear they run VERY well on JellyBean though, especially with all that TouchWiz crap stripped away
I was a hardcore 10 clincher, had four tablets in the 10 inch variety and loved my prime and keyboard. But 7 inches is perfect for almost everything I use a tablet for. In fact since the nexus 7 launched, I got mine before preorders shipped but I dunno the date, I haven't used anything that would be better on a 10 inch screen.

I know alot of people that once they got a 7 ince tab, mainly the Nexus 7, they no longer used/wanted to use, their 10 inch, as it was uncomfortable, heavy and just too big to be portable.
7 inch is the way to go, I personally think 8 inch would be perfect, but 7 inch it is.
GET A N7! TRUST ME
Get a 16 for sure, or wait for the 32.. 8 is just too small
I personally enjoy the size, it works for me immensely. And is super portable.
It's not the size of the tab that's important, but the skill with which you wield it.
I like the 7" and find it very easy to transport. But it is important to give your eye's more "visual breaks" and look arround more. I seem to get more eye fatigue with the 7" if I'm not careful.
So to add another overused phrase to this thread.
Be careful how you handle that 7" tab, you could go blind.
Hello nexus 7 users.Happy new year!..i want to buy a tablet for a gift to my cousin and i want you to tell me if it is worth buying?is 7" screen too small?will she like it with so small screen? i mean my cousin wants it to watch movies to surf the net and play some games
i have only 250 e to spend and i have to choose between nexus 7,and one vero that it is dualcore 1.5 ghz cortex a9,1gb of ran and 9.7 inch....
can you advise me? thank you verry much!
also the vero does not have google play
If you only have 250 to spend then there is no question. Other tablets at that price have aged software, bad screens, slow CPU-s etc.

but will the screen be good for watching movies or will it be too small? what about battery life?
Hi. I've been using the N7 (32 TV WiFi only) for almost 2 months. The first time saw it in a shop, I thought the screen is kinda small. But after trying it out for quite awhile, I find that it's just about right. Watching videos, browsing the internet or playing games is not a problem in terms of screen size. The 'neutral colors' of the screen is not an issue for me. I'm happy with the performance of the N7. I'm sure your cousin will like it. And holding the N7 with one hand is not that unwieldy. HATH.

Nexus 7, iPad Mini, Kindle Fire. Pick your poison.
I frankly think that 7" is a sweet spot for tablets: easy and comfortable to hold with one hand and large enough to watch movies. The iPad mini at 8" is already uncomfortable to use with one hand, for example.
The N7 has excellent audio output, incidentally.
Last but not least, as someone else already pointed out, there is nothing comparable at this price level.

If you only have 250 to spend then there is no question. Other tablets at that price have aged software, bad screens, slow CPU-s etc.

Just ordered this one for $229 shipped. Couldn't pass it up especially since the TAB 2 screen is really washed out compared to my Note 2 and I cannot access media off the 64GB SD card except through file explorers. Media apps did not like ExFat or Fat32. Kind of disappointed with the Tab 2. After I get the Nexus I will play with both and see which will be the keeper.

7" is what I would call the best screen size for a tablet - I've gone through an original iPad and a slightly smaller Archos tablet and the nexus 7 really is the right size and shape for everything I use it for, its made the full size iPad feel unwieldy to me.
And as for going into a shop and playing about with one, just before Christmas I was in Comet (UK) with a friend and I had a quick play about with the shop floor one and it'd be loaded up with so many active widgets it was like a slideshow, so I'm not sure that's the best example

Deal has unfortunately ended. I've been debating on the n7 for some time now and heard about the deal but I was too late

This seven is my first android tablet, and I'm actually loving it much more than I initially thought I would.
The size of this tablet is just the right size, really comfortable to hold even with just one hand and the things I could do with it (reading books, occasional gaming, browsing the web and whatnot) brings no regret whatsoever

Nexus 7 is great you will not regret it, a 10 incher might seem better but bigger is not always better when you are holding it in your hand for long periods of time and there is no other tablet out there that can match the price point and power of the nexus 7 I recommend mine to every one

Agreed. Bought the wife a TAB 10.1 and that thing is a beast. Great for her as she uses it to replace her sheet music on gigs. At $229 to my door I couldn't pass up giving it few rounds vs the TAB 2 7 P3100.

I too was worried about this and I'm not price sensitive. After three weeks with the nexus 7, I can say I am glad I chose this over the larger one. In bed or the sofa this is a lot easier to us.
