it appears that our great tablet is getting some new family members in the form of new 7, 8, and 10 inch G Pad!
What do you think?
Will you upgrade?
Will it be an upgrade?
I don't see any specs.
kinda have a thread on the topic

Well, the specs for the 7" one are out. S400 4x1.2Ghz, 1GB RAM, 1280x800 screen. Not all that impressive. Obviously, this line is going to be more entry-level. Ironically, the new 7" and 8" will probably cost more than the recent sale prices of the 8.3.

Isn't that a thread about someone complaining that his g pad died or something like that?

That's what I thought, which is why I never clicked it
So lets continue here then, since this thread has a title that actually matches the description.
I hope the 7" is going to be the basic tablet and the specs get better very quickly as you move up the range.
If lg moves to the lower end of the tablet spectrum just to try to appeal to the mass market, I, for one, will be peeved.
The gpad is a cracking tablet and I was looking forward to seeing it's successor.

I agree 100%...
Since excitement and conversation for this tablet has grinded to a stand still... The more conversation the better..

I don't Know about LG Designs I rather have a Sony Ericsson Nexus.
well.. only a few more months, i can wait. I'm assuming this will release the same time around the iphone 5? what a competition.
Depending on who releases it and what the specs end up being, this could "replace" my N1.
I'm pretty stoked.
as per rumors it's going to be a tegra 3.

NO WAY!!! I highly doubt it android barely takes advantage of the Duo-Cores there's not many games supporting Tegra 2 Devices as it is. By Nvidia releasing a Quad-Core would be Suicide for the 5 devices running a Tegra 2 chips.
Glad i didnt buy the G2X. This may be the phone to replace my N1
Sounds great as a N1 upgrade...but don't think I can wait till 4th Q!
Kal-El device?
Wholly ****. God, PLEASE make an AT&T 3G model!
A possible worth upgrade to the mighty N1!
Well, here's hoping for a qHD 4" screen.
No longer a rumor...IT IS CONFIRMED!

You realize that this was pretty much stated in the link that the op posted in post 1?
I really hope its not an LG. I've had their phones from the ENV's and ENV touch. Each of which I returned about 5-6 times with the same issues. I know that a potential N3 is a ways away, but an LG brand would be enough to spoil the anticipation.

Yeah but the article on post 1 was from Android&Me pre-confirmation. The article I listed was post-confirmation, and gave quotes from Andy Rubin.
Just because Google says a press release about Nexus is coming, that doesn't mean a new device is going to be confirmed. Remember that whole bit Google released last summer about how there was not going to be a new Nexus device? How easily we forget...
Hope come back to htc, or moto

I think Nokia would of made the craziest looking nexus with specs to desire some one slap me from this false dream.
Would really b interesting how lg would handle this but i agree wit previous poster sony ericsson may blow the competittion away

Seems pretty interesting,,,, there is specs of Nexus 3/X and some imaginary Nexus HD Tablet with imaginary specs ....
What do you think?
It looks like a website where some bloke has just speculated about something that isn't even announced. Would you like me to give you some specs of what i think? It'll be worth the same.
Oh, this is always fun. And then a blog picks this up, matches it with the other posts and blogs copying each other, suddenly it's FACT. It's everywhere on the internets, it must be real!

I for one can't wait to get my hands on a tablet that sorta resolution, I mean come on who doesn't want that.
I have been looking at buying the Asus Transformer Prime. And was pretty much sold on it until I ran across this..

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.

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.

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.

not surprising. The device hasn't sold well in the US. Best buy for example hides them with the LG phones.
The GPE version, while a fantastic device is over priced, so hardly anyone has one.

And because of that i kinda regret the purchase, but i only paid $49.00 for it so i will live.
I can't take it back because there would be a $70.0 restocking fee, but i do like the tablet.

Odd, I had no trouble at all finding everything I need.
Ex:
Comparison between G Pad, Nook HD+, iPad Mini 2
My previous tablet was the HD+ which is why I added it to this to better compare with modern rivals.
Sample review of G Pad (9/10) - PhoneArena
Sample video review of G Pad - Android Authority
I say sample because it is easy to find many many reviews and information.

There are lots of goodies that are poorly advertised. Examples in case are the embedded screenshot tool (press Power+Volume Down at the same time), or the many free themes for background, icons and keyboard.
I also enjoy the clock/weather widget very much and think it is the best I have ever seen of its kind frankly. Not only does it have the nice special effects such as raindrops on the screen when in standby, but if you put the tablet in landscape mode it stretches to show multi-day forecast.
Also, the GPS is very cool, allowing one to use it for navigation even without an internet connection.
The other features such as miracast, QRemote, and more, are icing on the cake, though I have them on my LG G2 as it is.
Since I am a voracious reader, I need to add that the form factor is the absolute best I have had to e-read on. The 7-inch (my first) is just on the small side, while the 8.9-inch (with the bezels) was just on the large side.
All in all, it is the best tablet I have had to date, hands down, not to mention the very modest price (picked it up for $212 at NewEgg).

Says you. I'm tired of phones getting bigger and bigger. 5.5" screen is roughly on the border of being too big for one handed use. But I'm going with it. Anything bigger I would not consider.
EDIT: That said, women prefer bigger phones...lol I see women with Galaxy Notes everywhere.
Why no waterproof? Why no 4.5? Why no 4000mah? Why no wireless charging? Why no micro SD card expansion? Why no small bezels? Why no OIS? Why no 18:9? Why no rounded screens? Why no edge display? Why no stereo speakers? Why no rear fps? Why not 350$? Why everyone is crying? Why not everyone just buy an S8 instead? Because it's still cheaper than other compatitors, alright? You still need to make some compromises.

OnePlus - from $479

Discount the premium you pay for Samsung brand, and it's not that far away.

If there was no feedback from users to manufacturers, you would still be using Nokia. XDA is the best place to deliver such feedback.
Look at google. They have been all over the place with screen sizes based on user demands.
Stop taking oneplus's defense. It's no point. I got the oneplus 3 a month after launch and I am still happy with it.
You should admit that oneplus screwd up again.
Design is poor, and except for the processor is no better than an op3/op3t, even though the price increased.

No one is going to have a vr plugged in all the time to justify it. 5.5 is perfect for most people which is how business works. Make products for your larger audience returns more revenue thus you don't go out of business. Like it or not this phone is going to be a great competitor this year.
