Saw this online and was wondering if anyone here has it it yet? If so what do you think? Does the thumbsticks work? Can they be configured to work as extra keys?....... any input would be cool

It's mostly for Android, actually. The devs says "it's built like a tank" so it should be able to hold the tab (with a future add on).
The question however is good, maybe i'm not up to speed, but last time i checked the tab couldn't handle properly Wiimotes and so on.
Snes9x has already built in support.

Kinda cool, but it would make the tab enormous

Just need a kickstand case for the tab and use it as a portable home console...get it without the bumpers..... wireless controllers B)

A pretty cool idea. This would have to be used without trying to clamp in the tab though. As already stated, it would make the tab HUGE

Really itching to buy this....... waiting for cm7 to be fully operational on my Epic4G before I make the buy..... when I do I will be doing some extensive testing on my SGT :-D

just got mine. I haven't tested the keyboard mode yet, I'm writing code to talk to it in SPP mode. It works extremely well and is much better than the BGP100 (less lag, better build quality), and better than the Zeemote (better bt compatibility, better ergonomics). The price is the only downside

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?
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda app-developers app

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.

Never I use my TP as a comicbook reader and I also tried the Nexus 7 two words: too small!

Still worth buying or aged?

Looking to buy a new phone soon, and just wanted your views on whether this phone has gone aged.

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)

[Q] upgrading

well, sadly my nexus 7 has become so slow its almost unusable. So im thinking of upgrading to a larger tablet (8.9 inch or 10) but i am not sure which ones to look at. I want to stay below the 250 price mark so right now im leaning towards the Kindle Fire HD 8.9. Anyone have any other suggestions??? Id love to hear them.

I think you should read up and get what's right for you, in your price range. Asking others is just plain silly. We all have different tastes, needs, funds....etc.
Good luck.
P.s. Under 250 for a 10"tab?? What a dinosaur or no-name junk heap that would be.
Oh....and if you aren't willing to put forth a wee bit of effort to get your tab running like it was new again.....then I gotta suggest you try an ipad. They're neat!

Oh trust me, ive done several things to get it running properly again, its just not working. Ive tried several rom/kernel combos and nothing seems to get it to not lag. and btw ipads aren't neat
ive found the toshiba excite 10" for 250 but the reviews arent that great for it. Im just not sold on it yet...

And tablets don't just slow down either.....software does.
Hint....Google nexus 7 lag. Lots and lots will pop up!

A used iPad sounds great for you. No lag and you can probably get a 2nd or 3rd Gen for <$250.

Dude you just have to clean your tablet frequently like I do. Just install advanced system care and power saving apps. Use their widgets and put them on one page of the home screen so you don't have to use the actually apps..... Something so simple some people get rid of their devices because they didn't know it. Lol
