Hi guys.
I'm a product manager at a UK based electronics company. We have a new Android Tablet launching in Feb, and are very keen to work with an Android developer to customise the UI and develop some custom apps.
The device will have the following basic spec...
8" capacitive transflective display
256MB RAM
8GB Flash
Front facing camera
Android 2.1
3G
If you are a freelance developer, or looking for a full time role please reply with your details.
Many thanks
Chris Mole
I am interested

Well this is a very old thread, but still I am posting in here, so as to be in touch for any future opportunities.
I have been working on Android application development since 4 years, and looking for any such freelance opportunities.
Thanks
Hello guys!
I am coming from the XDA Droid X2 forums. I've never owned a tablet and I am considering to buy the Galaxy tab 8.9 or the Galaxy tab 7.0 plus as my first tablet.
Given that I own a Motorola Droid X2, I am taking several precautions to ensure that my next purchase isn't a giant pain in the ass. So, firstly, I would like to ask you guys if you recommend this tablet or if there is any other 7 - 9 inch tablet that you feel is better than this.
Do you think this is the best 7 - 9 inch tablet and that I am making the right decision? Do you think I should wait for the Galaxy Tab 7.7? I don't want to buy it if it is significantly costlier than this one.
Are there any hardware or software quirks with this device? On my Droid X2, there is one, presumably hardware, issue which causes problems with music playback. We frequently get music stutters. Are there any such minor or major problems on this device that may be potential deal breakers? Apparently there is an SOD (sleep of death) and WiFi issue with the Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus. Is there something like that with this one? I hope not (fingers crossed )
Secondly, is this device's bootloader unlockable? If it is not, that is a big no no for me. I know it is rootable. I noticed that there are several CM9/ICS ROMs out there and that is a big plus. But does this device have official ICS yet or will it be getting it soon?
Overall, are there any quirks I should be aware of about this tablet, or in general about Android tablets? This being my first Android Tablet purchase, I dunno if there are any caveats in choosing Android Tablets over iPads.
Also, the lack of a micro SD card slot troubles me. I know 16 GB is a lot of space, but still the ability to freely expand memory is comforting.
I am very sorry for this huge post. Please bear with me and reply to as many queries as possible.
Thank you very much in advance. Hoping to be a part of this community!
The 8.9 is fully hackable, like most Samsung devices. Bootloader is not an issue.
It doesn't have official ICS but Samsung has promised ICS to this device at some point
In terms of issues Tegra 2 in it of itself as a issue wit HD video playback.
8. 9 is a very manageable size tablet. The 7.7 is on paper a better device but it does have a steeper price you need to consider.
Your biggest set back in Android tablets vs iPad is the number of apps. That has been bridged a little but it is still a big flaw to note. I personally love the Android customization and i am well invested in Android Apps to bother changing.
If you want expandable memory then their are plenty of other Android choices. I think 16gb is plenty in the world of cloud storage
Google Music streams your tunes
Google Docs does work documents
Picasa will web sync google+ and picasa web albms
Dropbox or sugarsync let you store misc files
So there are NO random, potentially fatal/deal breaking issues that a lot of users are reporting, right? Any other problems that people faced?
At this rate, I may consider 8.9 over 7.0 plus for the more vibrant community and the higher res display/larger size.
Thanks.
Btw, guys, do you know what the difference is between the Exynos SoC found in Samsung Galaxy 7.0 plus versus the Tegra 2 on this device?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exynos
The Exynos 4210 is the chip currently in the SGS2s and some SGTs. 4412 is coming soon, but hasn't hit just yet.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegra#Tegra_2_series
T20 is the most common, found in most phones and tablets. Has a weaker CPU and GPU than Exynos, lacks NEON instructions.
Anandtech has an array of benchmarks for both throughout their smartphone/tablet reviews.
Thanks for the help guys! I went ahead and bought the Samsung Galaxy tab 8.9!
I sincerely hope that this was a wise choice. For anyone interested in the details of my decision making process, I wrote a rant here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22791976&postcount=27
Ultimately, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 prevailed over the Mammoth Motorola Xoom and Acer Iconia A200
So, I officially say hello to my new community

Samsung Galaxy Tab WiFi (16 GB)
Btw, it says that it has 16 GB but I have only 13.11 GB. I always hated that. Almost every device claims that it has X amount of space but they always have less than that.
I was hoping that this device had say 14.5 to 15 GB but now that I realize it has only 13.11 GB, is that going to be enough or a problem?
Did any of you ever find it troublesome?
Thanks!

Just get Minus and Dropbox and you'll have an extra 12gb of free cloud storage. I also recommend getting a cheap usb adapter.

Then you won't have an issue with it. The world is in the could, and what little isn't is moving there. Cloud server storage is cheaper then onboard storage in the long term for OEMs
Dear All,
The Nexus 6 is coming but the hardware will not be that different from the Nexus 5. It will still be quad core with a 1080p display, 2-3 gigs of ram, and gesture functions. As rumoured, if the 2015 is the last Nexus, what will Google come out with for its grand finale. The octa core would most likely show itself, but what special feature(s) will Google come out with that would WOW us? Lets realistically think about what will appear in 2014-2015 that could actually make it into moblie phones. I'll start it off with what we know...the Smartwatch, Google Glass and the final Nexus phone to have special features that communicate with each other to make our communication with the world even more simpler and allow us to see and do more with our devices. Your turn. :victory:
Hi,
Google Nexus 6 - What do you think?...

This thread is not about N6 but the speculated last Nexus.
Thanks.
I wouldn't worry about it. Check back in a year!
This thread would be far too speculative and would have nothing to do with the Nexus 5 anyway.
