Trade ipad for galaxy tab?

I just had someone contact me on craigslist saying the would trade me their Samsung Galaxy tab for my jailbroken 16g wifi ipad. Would you do it? I already have the nook color (cm7) and an Evo 4g. I don't really use my ipad but my NC is basically the same thing as a halcyon tab... right?

I wouldn't. The GTab is too much like the NC. Hold on to the iPad until someone offers to trade you for a honeycomb tablet. Yeah, he'll probably ask for your iPad + a little cash, but it'll probably be worth it.

I wouldn't do it either. The NC seems to be almost exactly the same as the Galaxy Tab. If you decided you did want to trade still, you should request some cash with that trade. Galaxy Tab is like 350, so I'd want at least $50 to make it equal.

They arent exactly equal
My Galaxy tab makes and receives phonecalls. Plus the built in GPS makes carrying 1 device better then carrying my nook and a phone.
Just my opinion of course.

Yeah that's what I figured. If I didn't have the NC I'd do that trade in a heartbeat. Just wasn't sure with the rumors of hc coming to the g tab if it would be worth it. But then again when the source for hc comes out the NC will have it fully functioning.

I can't imagine using something as big as the GTab as my phone... even with a bluetooth headset.

If you use it with a headset, incoming calls are no problem. (and yes, it is hilarious to phone with.... tried it!)
I would trade the iPad, but then again, I'm not exactly fond of Apple products in general.

ITunes makes me mental! I jailbroke it and its still not very customizable. Yeah it has the Cydia and winterboard apps but they're just themes and apps.... I think! I don't really pick up my ipad except for Netflix and now my Evo has it and hope the NC gets it soon. When Netflix comes to the NC my ipad will just gather dust (except the speaker sucks on the NC even with a custom kernel)

Erm...you're aware many of us are happily using NetFlix on our NCs since yesterday, right?
Rodney

got both nook and Gtab -
and yes they are very similar, and in fact NC overclocked is snappier than my GTab
BUT...
i make video calls with my Gtab to friends with iphone 4
and having a camera grew on me
and convenience of location based apps
but to the original poster - opt for trade with honeycomb

I got the Netflix app for my Evo last night and it works flawlessly but not on my NC. Is there an apk I'm not aware of?
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App

you need to edit the build.prop file on the NC

Thanks! I don't really know ANYTHING about adb so I may have problems with this. I'll look around the forums or youtube about adb stuff and figure it out. What are the chances that the NC will get the official app? That I know how to do.

Found a YouTube video on androidcentral.com that made it simple. Took 5 minutes.

Should I get an Asus transformer?

What do you guys think? Been looking at it and just tablets in general. Seems as though all the honeycomb tablets have pretty much the same hardware. What are your opinions on it and any owners that know something I should know please tell me
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Go for it specs wise plus its price I think it's good. But if money isn't a problem then go for the 10.1 galaxy tab.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

I don't know anything about the transformer, but I do like Asus laptops.

Transformer is a very solid unit. Good screen, nice and quick, well-built.
If you get one, definitely consider the keyboard dock also. It really makes extended use (especially browsing XDA for hours on end) much more pleasant.
There are a couple of units available in the marketplace at good prices, Donharden has a great 16GB unit. Check them out!
Good luck!

Go for it, best at it's hardward range Tegra 2, compare to Thrive and Iconia..Gtab.
It's thinner and well built. I had played with it and others side by side at office depot. The Tf101 hands down.

Thanks for the input guys, I want to go down to best buy and compare still though, I hate how demo units are always all messed up and slowed down from all the things people do to them. It really makes it hard to judge.

I'm a bit biased on this (posting via my transformer now). Lol i highly recommend this tablet though, mine is rooted and is just amazing. No issues or quirks and i've had it for bout a month or so. I've made due without a keyboard dock thus far but a am looking into getting one soon.

Thanks! Just wondering though, are you running 3.0 or 3.1? Also are you overclocking it?

Currently running roachs Prime v1.5, which is 3.1 and waiting for v1.6 which will most likely be 3.2.

Personally, I wouldn't, but that's me.
If that's what you want, go for it.
I like the ability to change from webos to android, but then I really like webOS.

i have 7 inch tablet and the touchpad ....personally i prefer the touchpad
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda premium

7 inch screens are too tiny for me. 10 is the smallest i'd ever go

I would in a heartbeat. I wouldn't mind having a true Android Tablet instead of the Frankentab I have now.

I've decided to keep it. I got two when HP let me buy them for $150,
I gave the other to my mom. She's 52 and I got her into the Pre minus then evo3d now she has droid RAZR and touchpad with cm9 its funny she knows more about these devices than people a lot younger.

I have a 32gb Touchpad, and a Nexus 7. The Nexus 7 is more portable, comfortable, and stable. Typing on the Nexus 7 is much easier, and faster. The battery on the Nexus lasts considerably longer than the Touchpad. The Touchpad is a nice device, but I don't use it at all now that I have a Nexus 7.

I've got a Touchpad and a 7'' Android tablet. I'm using the first one as my multimedia device and Internet browsing at home (BT keyboard + mouse) and the second one when I've to use it outside home.

I'm 23 and have 2 slipped disks and, a repaired torn acl and mcl from playing soccer and football.. imagine my 50's will be make yours look good.Worst part, docs won't give me pain meds, because they think I'll get addicted or just want to get high. One straight up told me that, even after looking at my proven xrays.
On the popular topic, I bought the n7 and took it back. The screen really does feel too small after using the touch pad for so long, and performance didn't feel much different either.

If it helps, I've got both. I'm using the N7 pretty well exclusively just because it's much lighter (better for reading) and fits in my cargo pocket at work. The N7 is faster, sharper, has better support (obviously) and will have for a long time. I recently went away for a week and purposely took just the N7 to see how I would get on and was pleasantly surprised.
Downsides are, it's smaller so not as good for web browsing but is still usable, the kicker is 'no flash' since it's jelly bean. There are ways of getting round that for some things but it does mean my favourite news site is a bit crippled.

Where does the lack of flash hurt you the most? I'm seriously considering trading my TP for a N7 and I'm really worried about the web-browsing trade offs (i.e. screen size, lack of flash).

Hey since FLASH is not officially supported on jb since I started using the web browser PUFFIN it has FLASH built in its the best browser IMO. It has a trackpad built in that you can/off easily.
Its the closest to browsing on a PC I've ever seen you can put it mobile browsing mode. I've tried sky fire, opera, Firefox,stock,chrome and I like PUFFIN the best.
Checkout projectfree.tv in puffin browser compares to any other.
Puffin is also available for iOS.

Thanks for the suggestion!

You could press thanks. Lol.
Also checkout ice streams and navi-x apks.
Via aptoide or find them online.

It has the same processor as the GNex, with an open source operating system. Full Android will probably be running on it within a month. Sounds better than a smart tv in a much more aesthetically pleasing device with nfc.

It is aesthetically pleasing. Why would I need Android in a tv box when I have it in my hand? Short of a DVR function, the only thing I need it to do is wirelessly stream media from my hand to the TV. $99 is the price point for that, not $299. And I was never sold on the "everybody can use it" thing either, unless I'm coming to your house and jacking your stereo lol.

Yeah the everybody can use it thing is bs. I just like the idea of a Pseudo android device that I can use my phone and tablet as a wireless control for without having to use proprietary apps.

The Q is on my list. Its pretty neat but with my mhL adapter and mk802 android mini PC I'm not needing it just yet.

You could also consider the i9001 (Galaxy S Plus), which looks exactly the same as the i9000 but has quite different hardware. At least on paper it's quite a bit better and not nearly as expensive as an SII. I've got one of those and am really happy with it

Yes but the i9001 only has slightly faster CPU and slower graphics you can easily set the i9000 to the same clock speed as the i9001

A rooted Galaxy S I9000 is still pretty good, but if you can afford it I recommend you the Xiaomi MI-2.

I personally think that the i9000 is a great phone. It was my first Galaxy class and is still with me
I rooted the phone and switched over to running JellyBean (SlimRom version) and think it is just great. I do prefer the S2 just because it is that much faster, but finding it hard to part with my trusty original
Good all round phone but a little slow on some of the major games (I believe - though cannot vouch for that)
