can the Galaxy note 10.1 rom can be a Source for the ICS Rom for our GT 10.1?
Release Date of Galaxy Note 10.1 is unknown
ICS for Galaxy Tab 10.1 should be out by Q1
This means, most likely, that ICS made for Tab 10.1 will be out BEFORE galaxy Note 10.1
Catch my drift?

How would anyone here know this? The Galaxy Note 10.1 has yet to be finalized. My guess would be no.
I think the question here is not to get the Sgt note 10.1 rom to tab 10.1 for the sake of ICS which was already promised to be released, the issue is how possible is bringing the s-pen capabilities to the Sgt. if this happened, the note would be of no greater use even with better processor and micro SD port.
From what I can recall, the "pen" part needs an hardware sensor on the tab also, so without this sensor, the pen (and software) is useless
Anyway, any standard touch screen pen with TouchScreenTune would work just as well
The note has an exynos chipset so no.

Yes, the Note series has special digitizer hardware from Wacom not present in non-Note devices.
I have a galaxy s2 and a tab 7.7 but I'm debating whether to shift them both and get a note.
I also have an iPad which is great for longer web sessions but no way near as portable as the 77 which is why I got the 7.7.
The note and 77 share the same resolution even though the note is smaller but is it too big as a phone?
The note also already has ICS roms , I'm slightly worried the 7.7 is going to get lost in the ever growing tab range and be slow for updates .
3 devices seems excessive even though I do use them all.
Help lol
I use both, well... I use Note and my wife use tab 7.7. Don't think you want to replace tab 7.7 with Note. Note is great for portability, I simply love it, but tab 7.7 is better for media / magazine / web consumption.
Stick with your S2 and tab 7.7. Or switch your S2 to Note and keep the tab.

I like the Note a lot, and there is a fair amount of overlap between it and the 7.7. But, reading books on the 7.7 is much better, as is watching videos. The Note is great to pop in my car dock and use for Google Music streaming and nav apps. I have the luxury of both since my company pays for my wireless service.
As far as ICS ROMs for the Note, that's only for the N7000 international version, and so far it's pretty unsatisfactory. ICS is not a panacea, and I actually quite like most of Samsung's TouchWiz apps on the stock Gingerbread ROM (although I ditched the launcher in favor of ADW EX).
The 7.7 is on Samsung's list of "promised" updates for ICS, and since they just started updating the GS2, I think they're going to hold true to their word. I'm guessing it will be May for the 7.7.
I have both the Note and the 7.7. They are both great in their area. The note is great as a phone especially with the invlusion of the s pen. The 7.7 is excellent for ebook reading , browsing, and portibility. They both compliment each other
i have them both as well..
Id perferr the 7.7 for not being at work..
When i get home.. I switch my sim from the note to the 6800
I find as the months go by, i wouldn't have it any other way.
Very pleased with both, though only carry one at a time.
Good luck
Hi guys,
Please help me to make the right choice
I need a 3G tablet, capacity doesn't matter and to be honest I don't really need stylus.
I stuck with those 2 tablets as I own Galaxy Note phone.
Are there more significent differences?
- a 3G Note 10.1 (£500) will be about £150 more than Tab 2 (£350)
- Note has better camera 5mp vs 3mp
Performance:
- can I split the screen on Tab 2 with 2 apps at the same time like on Note commercial videos?
- can I use these tablets like phones when I put my simcard from my old Note?
- is skype working flawessly on both?
Thanks for any advice!
The processor is a lot better in the Note and you cannot split apps on the Tab 2, no idea about skype or phone.
2 gigs of ram, 5ghz wifi, 4 core exynos , haptic feedback, superb s pen etc.(end of tinking capacity ) had the tab 2 for like 3 days, returned it back and got the note instead as I've thought the tab2 wasnt nearly as good as the tab1. On note(3g of course) phone & sms working just like on my sgs3.

If you can afford the note, go with that. The performance difference is huge. Also, I tried skype on the tab 2 and while it worked, the picture quality from the vga front facing camera was sub-par. The touchwiz version on the note 10.1 is also closer to what you get on the s3 while the tab 2 more closely resembles tab 1 10.1 touchwiz.

There's really no comparison between the two. If the money is not a major issue then the choice of the Note 10.1 is a no-brainer. The processor plus 2GB RAM in the Note make it the fastest tab out there while the Tab2 crawls by comparison.

Only Note. Tab 2 is very slow.
There cannot be a comparison between the two as they are from two different product line I would recommend go in for note its a much better and refined product

These tablets are very much comparable. The Note however would be the bigger brother of the two.

The note is from note series which are devices with stylus and tablet is like any other tablet every piece of hardware in them is different from each the only similarity is the the screen size and the fact that both are made by Samsung so how can they be compared...
Even if you compare the two Tab will not stand a chance as it is inferior to not in all aspects so its like comparing a iview tablet with a note

I'm getting the 8.4. Why are you choosing the 10.1 pro over the Note 10.1 2014 (as it's on sale and I owned that tablet and liked it).

I missed the Groupon sale, would've definitely got it if it was still available, or it's on sale at different places now?

It's going to be released today in the states, pre-orders were up for some time on Amazon and BestBuy.
I have pre-ordered the 8.4 through Amazon, but since I purchased black instead of white it's been delayed until Feb 19.
I have had a Nexus 7 (too small) and an iPad (too big). I think the 8.4 is the sweet spot. In my opinion this tablet far exceeds the iPad mini at the same price point.
Just picked up the Tab Pro 10.1 Black, 16gb. I have a note 10.1. I did not upgrade to the Note 10.1 2014 because I don't like the way it does multi-windows compared to the original 10.1. On the Tab Pro the new multi-windows setup is far nicer.
Currently, the Note 10.1 2014 and Tab Pro 10.1 are both $499. tough decision. Don't really care about the pen, but the Note 10.1 2014 does have 3gb ram vs 2gb. Same CPU.
Wonder if the Note 10.1 2014 will get the new gui with 4.4.2?

How is the performance on the Tab Pro 10.1? with the whole new Magazine UX and Android 4.4, is it smoother than the Note 10.1 2014? C'mon, give us a more detailed review

I've really barely used it yet. Also, apparently there is no root yet, but I suspect that won't take long. But, that has hinder me in playing with the new multi-windows, outside of what it can do stock (making my other apps multi-window and such). Also, I only had the Note 10.1 2014 for a day or two before deciding I prefered my original Note 10.1.
The new multi-windows is certainly nicer than on the Note 10.1 2014. They open in a cascade view that is resizable. (this can be done with addons with the 10.1 2014). While you can change to full screen, like the 10.1 2014, once full screen there is no way offered to go back to windowed.
Coming from the original Note10.1, which I chose to keep over the 2014 model, and with the help of Multi-Windows Manager 3rd party app, I can make any app multi window capable and they all get the icon in full screen that allows you to return to windowed mode. This is a peev of mine. Your milage may vary.
At any rate, until I can root and install a 3rd party multi window app, I will not know how much will be changed.
I can't compare it to the note 10.1 2014 for performance, but I can't say I notice lag.
As to benchmarks, as worthwhile as they are (I can only compare against original Note 10.1):
Quadrant Free: Tab Pro: 17857 Note 10.1: 6000
Antutu: Tab Pro: 33970 Note 10.1: 15861
I like the new gui far better than god awful touchwiz, which I always replaced with Nova Launcher. Magazine UX or whatever this launcher is called has special screen pages that use special widgets. The news selections appear to use Flipboard, which is an "uninstallable" app.
When I have used it more, I shall report findings.
Edit 1:
Just remembered, I had tried 2 of the Note 10.1 2014...first had a case defect. With both, and as many others have reported, my existing bluetooth keyboard would continually be disconnecting and reconnecting. I can happily report I am not experiencing this issue with the same bt keyboard.
Edit2:
Booted up with no apps running, memory cleared from task manager, you already have 1.17gb of your usable 1.72gb total is in use. I do understand android memory usage and am not stating this as a problem. But it often comes up.
Edit3:
Not sure I will be rushing back into Nova or any other alternative launcher. I'm kind of liking this. Not perfect, but pretty nice. TBH, If I knew the Note 10.1 2014 was getting this update along with kitkat, I would highly consider exchanging this for it.
Edit4: Have been using it for a few hours now. Unless 3rd party, root-required apps change it a lot, samsung seems to have decided to degrade the functionailty of multi-windows since the original Note 10.1. While better that in the note 2014, still leaves me missing my old tab :-\
I was going to get the 10.1 pro but I got the 8.4 instead. I like the portability and I wanted something to closely fit the same size of my iPad mini with retina. I must say I think the iPad might have to find a new home because I am really loving Samsung whole new ui and it's pretty dam snappy and fast
I wanted the Tab 8.4, but after looking at it's battery size and probable run time, I decided to get the Tab pro 10.1 which has almost twice the battery capacity and claimed 9 hr run time.

I have not checked but if you prefer 8.4, I suggest checking battery times vs mAh. The 8.4 battery is smaller, but so is the battery sucking screen

Hey man,
Congrats on the 10.1 purchase, stuck between this and the note 10 2014 myself....
I dont think I'd use the s pen after the novelty has worn off and there is quite a bit of difference in weight.
How are you finding the Pro 10.1? Any issues? How is the battery life?
Sorry for the questions but I'm sure there are others wanting to find out the same info
EDIT - Anybody else that has purchased the Pro 10, please feel free to chime in
Can't really judge battery time yet. First couple days you tend to mess with it more than normal . I did have some concern yesterday, but am holding off judging.

Well, my Tab Pro 10.1 will reach my US address by Monday and then it will take a week or so to reach my country here (Egypt), will do a detailed review with videos as soon as I lay my hands on it.
I cracked the screen on my Nexus 10 and Squaretrade can't fix it so they are sending me $500. Was going to go out and buy the tab pro 10.1 today until I realized Best Buy only has a 16GB model. Looks like 32GB isn't out yet anywhere. Boo. I tried doing some googling but can't find out when 32GB will be released. It looks like it's planned at least. Anyone know when?

If you're not interested in using the S-Pen, then no reason to pay the extra cash for the Notes. Get the Nexus 10, which has a far superior screen to the OG Note 10.1 and an identical screen with the 2014 edition, for half the cost.
Nexus 10 all the way if you are ok for wifi only and no sd card option.

For what you're planning to use the tablet (social media, web browsing, video etc.) I'd still go for the Nexus, and spend the extra cash somewhere else. The Pro obviously has better specs, but it's also bloated with Samsung Touchwiz apps and features so the general performance is probably worse than that of the Nexus.
If you want the S-Pen go for the Note.
If you want a regular tablet (no pen support), go for the Nexus or the regular Galaxy Tab line. Really go for the Galaxy Tab line because the Nexus 10 is ancient and not even up to snuff anymore.
