Hey guys just wanted to get the opinion of a few tablet users. My parents want to get a tablet on Verizon, I wont let them get an iPad and they wont switch carriers due to coverage at their house so the only options they have are the galaxy tab and the xoom.
My parents are not tech savvy at all and will mainly use it for web browsing and use it as a mobile hotspot. They probably wont take it out of the house much, if at all and my mom has bad eyesight and my dad has really big fingers which makes me think the xoom might work better for them but I don't know if they need it. Does the tab seem big enough to you guys or does it leave you wanting a bigger screen? Also does it have HDMI out on it?
Do you guys think they would really benefit from the xoom or do you think the lower price of the tab makes it the better choice?
Let me know your opinions please, I have no experience with tablets and they need help making a decision.

I would probably say the Xoom for the following reasons:
More customisable interface (so you can customise it according to their preference with more user-friendly UI for mum's bad eyesight, bigger widgets for Dad's big fingers
Future-proof (given that it's a newer Honeycomb based Tablet it is likely to have more improvements and a longer lifetime than the Tab
As the tablet will (probably) never leave the house, i'd say the larger tablet (i carry my tablet with me everywhere, one the reason i prefer the Tab).
But also look at the EEE Transformer (if you can get it there). Has the same Hi Def screen as the Ipad and i've heard its been preferred over the Xoom. There is also an optional keyboard dock for it.
Get the ipad if its for home only, when im at home i never use the tab, (but the tab goes everywhere with me outside the house, the iPad never leaves it)
If they arent tech savvy then a ipad is definitely for them, being a android fanboy and the iPad being my only apple device i must say its a awesome piece of tech, the android market dosnt come close to the apple one

This. Especially if they're not tech savvy at all, go with the iPad. You can get the iPad 1 for less than the Xoom nowadays and you can certainly pick up a used one pretty cheap. They're perfect for non-tech savvy people who just want to sit around the house and consume content. Why would you not go with an iPad in that case?
Well for me. Galaxy tab is the best because of high dwfinition screen....

Ditto, If its for your parents and its not going to leave the house then you are much better of getting an iPad. Im too a Android fanboy but the iOS is much better for tech n00bs such as your parents etc and they will enjoy the experience much more because of ease of use.

The galaxy tab doesnt have a HD screen. 600 x 1024 pixels is not HD. The tab can "play" HD movies but it doesnt display them in HD resolution, thus its not a HD screen.
Had a friend with xoom, video play jerks: maybe settings? Something about sd card slot, motorola still updating firmware.

i'd recommend to zoo as it's dual core and has full hardware requirements for a tablet android, it also has the latest android - 3.0
the tab was good upon launch... but it's quite old now... unless you hold out for the 8.9 tab
i prefere the tab because of its size , and with respect to the high definition screen , the galaxy tab practical is higher it has (169 ppi ) 16/9 screen , while the xoom has (160ppi) so the galaxy tab would look nicer ad higher in resolution , and about the gpu the galaxy tab has very strong gpu even comparable to the dualcore tegra 2 in most benchmarks , and since the xoom has higher resolution the performence would b nearly the same ,
add for that the full phone functionality and the (vibrator ) xoom han no vibration
Thanks for all the input guys. The main reason I wont let her get an opacity is because I haven't used anything like it since the first Gen itouch and I will be tech support for her. I wouldn't be any help with an ipad so I wont let her get one.
I was leaning towards the tab originally but I think I am going to have to just let her pick between that and the xoom since it seems like the performance isn't different enough between the two to make a decision based just on performance. I'll probably just take her to the Verizon store this weekend.

The beauty of the iPad is you don't need tech support. Buying a android tablet for a non tech savvy person is just asking for trouble, you can't go wrong with a ipad, and Im %100 positive she will enjoy the ipad more, I'm pretty tech savvy and the ipad just seems like a better product. But its up to you I guess
swyped from a galaxy far far away...
Thanks again for your advice guys. I thought about what some of you said about the ipad being more user friendly and decided to have her try out all 3 tablets. I took her to the verizon store and she didn't like the ipad or xoom at all she said that they were too big. She got the galaxy tab which may be a good thing because I am way more familiar with froyo than I am iOS or even honeycomb. All in all i am just glad that she is happy now, if she has problems I'll be able to help her over the phone, and she saved a few hundred dollars too.

If it's mainly for web browsing I hope for you that there will be a gingerbread version for cdma tab soon, because it's much more pleasant with gingerbread. No lag at all on flash sites like with froyo. It's the same experience like browsing with the ipad, except in this case it's with flash. I hope you won't regret your choice.
Sorry for my bad english.

I have an evo 4g and a rooted nook color running cm7 overclockked at 1300. I also have a first Gen 16g wifi ipad. Someone just offered to trade their sprint 3g galaxy tab for my ipad ..... should I do it? Are there fun roms, kernels etc for the g tab or do I basically have it on my cm7 nook color. You may think I have money owning an evo, nook color and ipad but I don't. I own a deli and haven't cashed a paycheck in over a month.... so this is a big decision. I pretty much use my ipad for Netflix and that's about it and I am with sprint and so is this g tab. I love the looks of the g tab and really need someones opinion asap. Also I REALLY don't care for apple products an am very familiar android anything. I just need to here someone say that the galaxy tab is that much better then the rooted cm7 nook color. I will of course root and flash the hell out of the g tab. I'm going to post this on the nook color foroms also. I have to get back at this Guy on craigslist so if someone could help me that would be awesome.
Thanks,
Dave

I've had my Nook Color for a few months..... have it rooted running cm7/phiremod (emmc). I got a 7" Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab 3g a few days ago and absolutely love everything about it. I took pics of my kids, videoed a humming bird outside my house, used it for GPS, front faced a video with my wife (no jokes... I'm no Anthony Weiner) and love the HELL out of my 3g. BUT..... That nook color I am so proud of. I still grab that NC for almost everything when I'm in the house (OC'd with D's kernel). Keep in mind I have an evo 4g (use as a phone now), Sprint Galaxy Tab and a nook color. What the Devs have done for the nook color is mind blowing. I really hope that Devs keep doing what they're doing for the nook color because the NC is a GREAT (gingerbread) tablet and no two ways around it. I love my rooted stock SGT but am very proud of my NC and and what roms, kernels, themes etc that I've done to it (not me but the Devs). That's it..... The nook color is a GREAT tab!

The Galaxy looks pretty darn nice. In my opinion they are quickly getting the tablets to where folks want them from both a performance and a feature perspective. The Nook was about the best choice a few months ago, its low price was able to make up for the missing features (camera, microphone), and the competition at that time was either Crap (gentouch anyone?) or Gold ($800 Xoom? Seriously?) These days there are a lot of good choices out there, and many of them are priced on this side of the sanity wall. What sets us apart is the community and the accomplishments of our devs, and the new tabs will take some time to compare there.
I used a 7" Galaxy Tab before i got my nook, and my cousin and brother both have the Asus Transformers so i have lots of experience with various tabs, and for the money i think the Nook Color is just amazing. Keep in mind tho, if i was paying the full retail 250 for the nook color, i would pay more and get a transformer, but i got mine used on craigslist for 160 and for that price it is absolutely AMAZING. I will upgrade tabs when a cheap quad core tab is out for 400 or less, but for now my OC'd to 1325 Nook Color does so much its absolutely mind blowing. Really there is no need for a high end tab right now unless you are super into games and even then a lot of them run fine on the nook.

LOL My Evo 3D arrives on the 30th and my wife is getting my Epic 4G. I had to pay $75 for Sprint to buy out my contract so I could get the 3D at the $199 price, so technically I'm getting it for $275, but my wife loses her crappy Samsung Insight and I get an upgrade in the process. Win-win!
I thought you might be someone I know. I have a friend named Dave who fancies himself as a chef and he just bought a Galaxy Tab. On his Facebook page he mentioned XDA so I just figured you were him.

Can I ask you a question.
I've got my NC - that's my first and only tablet experience. I really like it - but like anything technology related - it has strengths and weaknesses. The only real grip I have is - and the RC I'm using sometimes has software glitches . With the internet connection sometimes pages load pretty slowly - but once they're loaded - everything scrolls fine.
Besides " extra features " like screen size, speakers, and hdmi, etc --- what are the noticeable performance benefits of say - an Asus transformer compared to Nook Color
I too am waiting for a Quad core - " thin " tablet - with longer battery life - for around 400 before I'd upgrade - as the NC really does mostly all I need. and it's Hack friendly for an android greenhorn.

I have the same deal here; rooted/phiremod NC that I love, and just got a Tab 10.1. Love it!! It weighs the same as the Color Nook!! The bigger screen really makes a big difference, and I like the widescreen orientation over the *cough* *cough* iPad2. The thing has frozen up on me a few times, and takes a second to re-orient when you flip it, but I think those things are HC-based and should be addressed in the much-anticipated update to TouchWhiz in a few weeks.
For me, the jury is still out on HC. I like the original OS a bit better, in certain ways. But, you can just run a different Launcher, if you really prefer that. I'm just getting used to it, I suppose. Seems a bit too "unstructured", I guess. With iOS and Froyo, (if you want it to be), it's all neat and orderly. My guess is I will get into it and fix it all up the way I want it to look and I'll prefer it.
I have heard that iOS is getting widgets... If Apple would throw in a microSD slot it would be impossible to resist. But, that'll never happen. and therefore, I will never have an Apple device. (yes, the Tab doesn't have one, either, but they do have an optional dongle that allows you to connect different USB devices, including a USB thumb drive)
So, I last night took my NC and brought it back to factory settings and updated it to 1.2. I will likely re-root it and just add the Market and some apps back on, but leave the original launcher, so whoever I sell it to can use all the functionality of the device - like reading magazines, which you can't do with the Nook app.
I'm getting the 7.7 for sure when it is out!
I was debating whether to get an iPad2 whilst on holiday in Florida as prices are cheaper than UK.
But then the 7.7 came out!
Android > iOS FTW

Hi, I have an Archos 70 Internet Tablet, and I'm going to upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy TAB 7.7, as soon as it's on the stores.
May be if available in Europe !

I'll be getting it as soon as it comes to Canada. I've been waiting for this tablet for quite some time.
if they sell it in US and the price is under $400, then I will get one. I have both Galaxy tab 7 and 10.1.
To be honest, I love my tab 7 more since it so easy to hold and most of the apps/games are compatiable with Gingerbread.
10.1 is nice and fast.. but it is a little bit too thin and too large. hahah.. I am probably the only one to complain the "thin".
Anyways, the 8.9 is still too large to hold by one hand (I have a small hand) as well as my 5 years son.
Tab 7 is almost perfect for me except the CPU is a little bit slow, there are some lagging..opening apps/games..
So, 7.7 is dual-core (small size) is perfect for me. Hope Samsung keeps the price low.. Anyways, I am selling the 10.1 Anyone?

I'm thinking about jumping over to the xoom or acer a500, i am really cheesed off with the lack of support from samsung.
I bought my P1000, 3 days ago.. So now I am still ultra-happy..
I saw that 7.7'' but when will it come out..I could not wait..
I LOVE that amoled screen (after some time using P1000 than switch to My Galaxy S phone to do something.. only then I see that BIG diference between screens)
Anyway what is most important to me and if someone can answer me, as far as I can see this new tablet 7,7' will NOT have that she.t of nVidia Tegra..
So can I presume that new tablet it will support all video codec's as Tab P1000?
If it will I am definitely selling this (new one ) and geting 7.7..
Definitely gonna upgrade, but I dont think its gonna come out soon
and before that, I would love to taste the Ice Cream Sandwich 1st on the original tab
if the taste is good enough, i might prolong my tab life before upgrading since ICS is newer than honeycomb and prolly have better features too
I would never get an iPAD unless the incorporate some sort of cell phone capability, be it a remote device that belt clips with a display or actually on the ipad.
I love the SGT 7" that I have, it is perfect, for cell calls, and surfing the web. Think carefully, do you REALLY want to help the Apple machine make more money?
Does anyone know when it is coming out?
Actually when the last Galaxy tab 7 was released, could we buy it unlocked somewhere?
I ask because I need the new 7.7 to work with Bell. I already have a Bell 3g SIM card ready to go.
Thanks
If I could I would.
Once I have the money for the tab 7.7 ill definetley buy it.

Let's see, it's 7.7 so that's too big for a small tablet, won't fit in a pocket any more...
It runs Honeycomb rather than a phone version of android, I don't like honeycomb on larger tablets and surly its even worse on smaller screens... I have also yet to see an ambled screen that beats a common LCD (Galaxy Tab 7, iPhone 4, iPad all look much better than the Galaxy S 2 screen and it's supposed to be one of the best).
That means it can't replace my Galaxy Tab and it can't replace my iPad as it's smaller and would be missing some apps (mail and calendar for starters, android just can't compete with on that front IMO)...
So no, I won't be downgrading any of my current tablets
i like my galaxy tab 7 but im not sure if im going to invest in any more Samsung devices after they kinda wrote off this device as a red headed step child.
Ive put some thought into it and either the 7.7 or 8.9 would be nice i love the fact the 7 fits in my pocket. 7.7 has what i want and that's honey comb tables I'm a medical student and some of the apps like Google body are very useful.
So ya i think I'm gonna hop ship to 7.7 just hope there's a lot of good development on it get rid of that tw ux garbage
correction if http://sammyhub.com/2011/09/05/galaxy-tab-7-7-and-galaxy-note-pricing-for-scandinavian-countries/ is correct then no i will not be upgrading that's some insane pricing.
After using my tab as my phone for 12 months I've recently got myself a SGS2. I love the s2 and I really must disagree in regards to screen and picture quality. The S2 is far superior to my eyes. I miss my tab though, and have found it is used as a wifi device around my home as my primary portal to interwebs and the world! Its perfect and with the car kit set up in my kitchen (suction cup works well on my benchtop) it is extremely convenient and I love how connected I feel even when cooking breakfast! Its fantastic. The S2 is about to be violated and I'm hoping this'll breath new life into it but I can absolutely see myself going back to a tablet of around 7 or 8" and don't ever carry my 7" tab in my pocket so would lean towards the larger device... I would like to see a device that is a phone that goes inside a tablet that docks either @ your entertainment hub or in your car or both. The phone would be the primary CPU and such with each step providing supplementary hardware enhancing the GPU and CPU and memory extra. Or a more solid mirroring across devices.. its frustrating not being able to just put one device down and being able to continue seamlessly on another device.. its kinda exciting when you think how easy some of this would be with current tech.
I have more ideas.... but I've said too much already.. patents pending Nobleskill Inc.

I'll get the Galaxy Tab Plus, not the 7.7 one.
7.7'' is too large for my pockets and if a tab is not pocketable then it's useless to me. The Galaxy Tab Plus will have Android 3.2 and the same 7'' screen as the current tab. I'll stick to this form-factor forever (or just not upgrade my tab :-D).
Here's more info on the Tab Plus: http://thisismynext.com/2011/09/20/galaxy-tab-spotted-7-inch-honeycomb-tablet-t-mobile/
Dont think I will
I have been using the 7" for about six months and it satisfies everything I need. I can do my work on the go, remote some PC's that need fixing, surf, youtube and even gaming!!!
I don't think I will upgrade just for the sake of having a faster device as I haven't noticed any slowdown on this device.
The screen on this device I think is brighter than the s2 screen and clearer, maybe amoled is only for people with blue eyes!!!
Perhaps someone can help me but I seem to have this quest for any shiny new tablet, I have had several Tablet from the Archos 70, HTC FLyer through to Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 to 10.1" and have kept them from couple of weeks to few months before the novelty wears out, but I just could not resist the nexus when it was announced that I had to pre-order 2!! just in-case.
I keep asking myself if I really need one and I am trying to find a use/excuse for one... nonetheless I ll still buy one if only to root and install ad-blocker so that I can play Angry Bird Ad Free!!!.
Buy the Nexus 7 to run the Eliza Android app. (google it)
It will help analyze why you have this abnormal fixation with shiny new gadgets.
Good luck on finding a cure!
Well to me if you did not like or did not have a use for the Galaxy Tab 7 the Nexus 7 will be the same aside from the better processor.
But only time will tell really as we cant really tell you what YOU will like :laugh:
what makes you turn away from the tablets your buy? Is it that your phone is so much easier to use or is it that bezel :silly:
If you have the disposable income and it's not hurting anything then why worry about it? I've had the iPad 1, iPad 2, Nook Color, Nook Tablet, Nook Touch, Galaxy Tab 7+, and the Galaxy Tab 8.9. I end up either reselling them or giving them away when I'm done with them, and I pre-ordered the Nexus 7 without any hesitation.
Yes there is something wrong with you, and for you to post here you must be conscious of that matter...to feel normal I recommend you give the one to me so we can form a circle of gadget addicts lol
On a serious note, just enjoy it

If you do not mind relying on cloud storage, or mainly stream media, read books and browse the Web, the N7 is solid. I will stick with the View 32gb with a 64gb card, since still a nice tab.
I have the TF300 too, so less compelled. Must admit I would have bought one though if had micro sd.

Yes, there is something seriously wrong with you. To help alleviate your issue, send me your N7 & after receiving said N7 from you. I'll perform my mumbo jumbo on you & I'll even throw in signed certification, stating your issue has been resolved. :silly:
$200 for a wifi tab with only 8gb.I can justify the no camera, the no LTE or even
HSPA+, the 7" form factor, and the no super ips I really want one. But the no SD is a deal breaker and seriously, **** Tegra. I want a quad core krait or even an exynos. And Google's developer device gunning for the kindle fire is a quiet acknowledgment that iPad owns the 10" segment.
I have a 15 " MacBook pro (for school) my old laptop running Windows 8 just for fun, then I have a Asus transformer tf101 with dock for portable productivity, Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" , and Samsung Galaxy s II . I will probably sell the 7"Samsung since its only dual core and has the 10" tablet UI which really is not great on a smaller tablet. So I am really excited about the "hybrid UI" as Google called on the nexus 7.

What the OS needs is a TON of installed user base, so that developers get rewarded for the time, in a way close to the iOS. Selling a lot of quad core systems for $199 will hopefully show numbers of installed base that wake some people up. If it sells as well as it should, your going to want a Tegra3 device at that resolution because that is what everything will target.
For example, I saw a post that one of the game dev's who have ignored TFP compatibility is now saying they will be developing for the N7.
I expect my TFP 201 to benefit somewhat from the sales numbers this should do, given the hardware is basically the same. Also given ASUS made the thing, I would imagine getting JB faster than most on the prime will be a near sure thing.

$200 for a wifi tab with only 8gb.I can justify the no camera, the no LTE or even

Perhaps someone can help me but I seem to have this quest for any shiny new tablet, I have had several Tablet from the Archos 70, HTC FLyer through to Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 to 10.1" and have kept them from couple of weeks to few months before the novelty wears out, but I just could not resist the nexus when it was announced that I had to pre-order 2!! just in-case.
I keep asking myself if I really need one and I am trying to find a use/excuse for one... nonetheless I ll still buy one if only to root and install ad-blocker so that I can play Angry Bird Ad Free!!!.
