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.

I blame the article and those darn journalist however! ;-) After all, the article title does say official! Plus it was 4 am or so when I read it.

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.

HOX and N7.

Hi, I am an Android lover and a Apple hater.
I have a HOX currently which is a massive phone.
I was wondering, I really want a tablet, but am trying to decide whether 7 inch is big enough, as I have a near enough 5 inch phone?
Those of you with a big phone, S3/HOX could you tell me if you still think the N7 is worth the purchase?
I went to HMV and had a little play with the N7 and am still undecided, but I think 10 inch is way to big for me. and the only 8.9 inch tab is the Galaxy Tab, which I think is a bit out of my budget.
Any help appreciated, like after a while using the N7 does the 2 inch difference in size make a big enough difference to warrant purchasing an N7?
THANKS ALL !

[Q] Information about buying a UK Nexus 10

Hi all, I just wanted to know if I buy the 32gb nexus from google play store it is the full uk version becuase the price is way higher on ebay-amazon etc for a uk version, is there a reason why google play is so much cheaper? Also i just came from a Onda v972 which suffered from bad firmware and lag/force closes, is the nexus nice and smooth and reasonably error free most of the time and fast? Thanks for the possible help guys

No. Google are selling faulty products hence why they are so cheap. And again, no, google are not choosing to update their own tablets. It's about as smooth as sand paper.

Google Play store prices are almost always the cheapest for Nexus devices. Amazon and the like are using the fact that the 32gb model is always out of stock to push up the prices.
It's a pretty stable product - I've kept away from modding mine (yet!) and have had only one time when I had to reboot it -got stuck trying to change a lockscreen widget. Worked on the second attempt.

Thanks a lot for the reply, i was just wondering why amazon and ebay still sell them so high when stocks are building up in google play. I have seen some great benchmark videos but had soooo much trouble with the so called "powerfull" onda that I wondered if any tab is quick enough.

Can't compare it to other tabs but it makes my Galaxy Nexus look really slow and that's overclocked with custom rom and kernel.

Just received mine today. Delivery was super quick (2 days). I don't know why anyone would buy one from elsewhere except if they get some kind of discount. Great piece of kit. Rooted it and installed Paranoid Android on it already. Works great! Enjoy your new purchase!

I'm not quite sure what you're wanting out of this thread. It looks like you have your heart pretty much set on the Nexus 4.
The Nexus 4 is well worth it and is a fast device with plenty of customization. I'd say go for it.
I'm confused as to why you posted about the Nexus 7, that's a tablet. If you were debating whether to get the Nexus 4 or Nexus 7 and that depends on if you need a phone or a tablet.

I'd say the Nexus 7 is a solid tablet. I'm buying one as soon as they come out with a new version. I'm waiting for a new version simply because I don't see myself really needing it, I just want it so I can wait. If you want a tablet, I'd say go for Nexus 7. If you're wondering which is better between Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 and putting the phone vs tablet argument aside, I'd say Nexus 4 is a little better. I hear the Nexus 7 suffers a little bit from stuttering. Not much, but a little bit. I think it's because of the CPU in the Nexus 7. Anyway, I'd buy both if you could afford it. They're both really cool and I am excited to buy a Nexus 7 to match my Nexus 4.

ok but why shoudl i have a tablet, phone at same time:?! i saw many ppl in this forum got phone and tablet!

tablet big screen phone small screen..
sums up evrything

ok and does the on screen buttoms disable at gaming? dont care much for other stuff

so,,, tablet for reading ebooks and stuff but having both at same time is a little bit wired ! anyway i dont read book! i can do it in smartphone anyway daily news and stuff (ofc bigger screen is better for web!)

or if wroth pay 2399$ for s4 n4 is 1614 and optimus g is 1700$ not much diffrent from n4 and OG

No point comparing the Shield to any phone... the Shield is just a gaming device that happens to run Android.
In fact, you can simply plug an Xbox 360 controller into an Android phone or tablet, provided the phone/tablet supports USB-on-the-go, and you pretty much have the Shield already. If the phone/tablet doesn't support USB-on-the-go, a PS3 controller connected via Bluetooth works too.
I would recommend the Nexus 4 over the Optimus G if price is a concern. But if money is no object, then get neither - go for a HTC One!
Btw, are those prices in USD? The black market must be really prospering in the face of those sanctions O_O.

What do YOU think? Is the screen worth the extra money?
Its your money and your purchase. If you wanna ask for a recommendation, I'd say go for the g1. Because its awesome. But between n4 and og , I'd take the n4 any day.
