[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Sandelb:
Kongregrate flash games work great, but just loading up a web page like you would in a windows box will not give you very good results.

Haven't gone digging in this area as I haven't gotten to the making babies part of life yet. But games run great. The Tegra 2 really makes things fly and the GT plays anything I throw at it with little or no lag.

Nope, soon as you sign into your google account you can hop into the market and re-download everything. No repurchasing here.

I also used an old school XP tablet/laptop. It was clunky, huge, heavy, unwieldy, and in short everything this device isn't. It's both thinner and lighter than an iPad 2 (not by much mind you, but just to give you an idea). So if you can hold your mother's iPad without issue, the GT won't be a problem either.

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] polstein:
Much appreciated.

I don't play much on Facebook, but hoping that they are at least playable for the 10 mins a day that I do. I'm not so worried about other pages since I rarely have a problem on my Android phone.

Very glad to hear about not having to re-purchase things!

I thought about 1 more program I use on my laptop (although due to the kids not so often) - MTGO (Magic Gathering online). Wonder how well that would work through logmein. Might have to try remotely accessing my laptop from elsewhere to get a feel for it.

I'll have to borrow my mom's iPad for a day to try to get a feel for what it's like to hold it while sitting. I think that it probably going to be the other big thing. If it can do the programs & apps I need - is it more comphy then using a full blown laptop?

BTW - the thing I do most on my phone is read books. I *think* Kindle has a way to synch what page you're on.. shame most of my collection is outside of Kindle. Will have to look for programs that read other formats & can synch what page I'm on.

@polstein:

It's definitely easier to tote around and just lean back in a chair than with a laptop, no question. Also fewer worries about sitting somewhere with an outlet nearby, no concern about putting it down for a minute while you get up, etc. Minor things but they add up!

Like I said, the lack of a keyboard is the biggest concern. One option for this could be to use a BT keyboard, or purchase the USB adapter from Samsung. For monitoring things, reading, surfing, etc, it's great! I haven't used quicken for a number of years, so I dunno how much typing is required, but depending on the gui you might find yourself zooming in/out frequently, which could be annoying. Re books, I don't think there are other apps that sync. If your collection is in mobi format, or you're willing to convert, Kindle can sideload.

My opinion (after 1 day and some previous experience with an iPad): it's definitely not a full computer replacement. But I can definitely see going for a week or two just on the Tab, without opening my laptop. Especially if I bother teaching myself how to use one of the good android keyboards!

Ravynmagi said it... everything is better on a bigger screen. I can't imagine trying to control a rdp session to a windows machine on little phone screen... it's hard enough as it is on a 10.1 inch pad.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vansmack:
One of my favorite things I've done with the tab this weekend was use it as a portable DJ booth.

We had some folks over last night and I hooked up my Blackberry Stereo Bluetooth that I keep in my car to my sound system. After pairing it with the tab, I passed around the tab and folks added songs to a Google Music playlist that kept us entertained. It was a great way to display both the tab and Google Music - which looks incredible on the tab. I think I sold a few on all three products...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] happilyaccosted:
My Uses:

1. Studying: See, I'm always on the move and before I graduated, I was using this as a great study aid. It allowed me to study for 8+ hours without having to find an outlet to plug in a laptop.

2. News Reader: Since getting this in may, I've started reading the news every morning as I'm sitting on my porch while drinking coffee.

3. Collaborative Projects: Google docs, Dropbox, and Quickoffice...great tools

4. Music: with Google music, my entire library is everywhere with me. Makes it great as a portable music player.

5. Games: For the amount of games that are optimized, it's great playing on a big screen.

6. E-book reader: like previous posts have stated.

7. Chat: Google talk works great, with Beluga and Google voice for text messages, its awesome.

I hardly use my phone for such things anymore...I can't remember the last time I opened up pulse, browser, Beluga, angry birds, springpad, etc after getting the tablet.

SSH and a full size keyboard.. ssh'ing from my phone ius a pain and really tiny...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] polstein:
Thanks for the reply. I'm not too worried about the keyboard since I don't do a lot of typing at all. I've also read some good things about ThumbType (sorry, forget the exact name but the keyboard that splits so part is on each side).

I didn't realize that the Kindle app supported anything other then their own things. Converting is certainly no problem for me, I'm going to look into that now!

I keep mentally thinking about what I else do with my laptop that I couldn't do with a tablet (f'instance, holding down the control key & clicking links to open many tabs on a web browser is something else I thought of) vs what I gain by "replacing" my laptop with a tablet.

To get a bit back on the original topic, I can see replacing about everything I do on my phone with the tablet while I'm at home. Along the lines of the book sync, most of main programs are already cloud based (mail, calendars, tasks, cozi) so the ability to switch over to the tablet & have the same info available at the same spots seems really promising - especially when it's the exact same apps.

Oddly, I am not sure if I would regularly carry a tablet around with me (work to home & back) unless it was for a specific reason, like a meeting or something. So I'm still on the 'replace laptop & phone at home' more then anything else.

My last phone was a HTC Advantage (5" screen), which I got to do RPD from anywhere. The idea was/is to have a device attached to my hip at all times in case of emergency problems (I'm an IT guy). I've since moved on to the (4.3" screen) HTC HD2. I've had no problems doing RDP on that little screen. So a 10" screen like this tablet will be no problem at all for me... (till maybe my vision starts to go...)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Sandelb:
Haha, it's not very good idea to take your tablet to work. Especially the first week you have it. I can't describe how badly my productivity has taken a nose dive this week.

As for e-book management and conversion, I use Calibre. Converts pretty much anything format under the sun into any other format also residing under a large ball of burning gas.

I don't even touch my laptop at home anymore. I've got my nice and powerful desktop rig for any thing heavy duty but as for web browsing, email, facebooking, reading the news, videos, etc I use my tablet for all of those now.

Oh, that thumb keyboard you referenced is here. It's hands down the best keyboard for a tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] schwiz:
Use my tab for internet surfing, ebooks, and games.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Seihaku:
I hate using my phone for surfing, and only tend to do it in a pinch.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Emil9727:
So i just got the keyboard for the tab. Has made it 100x more effective :)

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agc93:
Hi all,

I own an Australian Telstra-compatible GT-P1000T onto which I've flashed the Overcome ROM v1.6.4. However, i am now using the Tab with an Optus SIM here in Brisbane.

I was simply wondering of anyone knew what the best modem would be to maximize my 3g speed and coverage on Optus. Im currently running the JMA modem, if that helps.

Thanks everyone,

agc93
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
There is a modem stickie. The correct Telsra modem for your region is there.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agc93:
Hi,

Thanks for the advice but as stated in the post, I'm not using the Telstra network. Doesn't that mean a Telstra modem is going to give me sub-standard performance? I believe the stock Optus modem would be best, but I wasn't sure if using a GT-P1000T made that choice any different?

Thanks again.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
They are not "branded", they are just the modem.bin files that work best for a given region/carrier. You can flash any modem you want, some will give better performance than others.

After you flash a modem go to the wireless settings and check your apn settings. If you are using a different modem you might have to enter the values. To get the values google "my-carrier apn settings" where my-carrier is optus, or whatever.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agc93:
Hi,

Yeah, I realise that, so i was looking to see of anyone on XDA had worked out what modem gave the best Optus performance. Plus, there has been some.confusion over whether the P1000T has a different radio or just a different software to the P1000 since it has the extra 850 band (same problem as the SGS i9000/i9000T debate).

All I was looking for was to see if any XDA users had tested or could recommend a good modem to use for an Optus tab (preferably one with better performance than the stock one)

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Your radio has the 850 band? Cool. If it has it, its not software, its in the radio chip. What did you pay for your tab? Can you buy it without a contract?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hagar76:
3G strength poor

Hi. I think I have the same issue. I purchased it as an Australian Telstra unit. I have since had the firmware changed to a non-carrier European version, rooted and unlocked. I use it on Optus. I believe that the 3G signals and speeds could be a lot better. I had a Samsung B2700 and B2710 Antenna Gain increased and those made all the difference to not dropping calls!

I have searched but cannot find anything about adjusting Antenna Gain on my TAB, nor for my SG2. This thread is the closest thing I can find to being able to improve it.

Can a different modem help or is it the radio chip that holds it back, and can that be changed?

*#1234# gave me the following...

PDA : NIL

PHONE : P1000XXJHA

CSC : NIL

Is it strange that the PDA and CSC are empty?
[Galaxy S II General] googlymoogly:
I have both a Galaxy S and a Galaxy SII, and it seems Samsung removed the ability to double tap on a word to select it. I've seen some people say it's a Swype issue, but the stock keyboard behaves the same. Official NEE Gingerbread 2.3.3 on my Galaxy S does not behave like this (the SGS2 is running KE2 NEE).

And now for Swype. I can't seem to delete words from the Swype dictionary anymore. It used to be you double tapped on a word, and you could then tap the "Swype button" and it'd be removed. I've tried pretty much everything I could think of.

Also, you can't disable/remove the voice input button in Swype like you can with the stock keyboard?
[Galaxy S II General] Digital1325:
Im wondering the same thing. It's very annoying.
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
Select a word (tap and select word) then hit the Swype ... then you can delete the word.

EDIT:

Used to work for me using Danish dictionary, but now it doesn't.

When I use English dictionary it still works!

Just updated from KE2 to KE7 .... very strange and very annoying :-(
[Galaxy S II General] googlymoogly:
Thanks. I can't get that to work though. I tapped once, then dragged the slider and tapped on "select word", then hit the Swype button and the Swype word suggestion toast pops up, but the word is still kept in the dictionary.
[Galaxy S II General] Digital1325:
Hey, I found a solution. Use TitaniumBackup to remove Swype and then install Swype 3.0 (the latest beta) and then you should be able to select words the old fashioned way.

Somewha Related

This is somewhat related...

Swype 3.0 is the BeesKnees. They've fixed my biggest gripes with it for 3.0. The predictive words are no longer an intruding pop up window but now a horizontal bar above the keyboard. Also, it now predicts for tapping as well as swyping. This now makes it a truly hybrid keyboard for me since sometimes I just don't feel like swyping.

Only issue so far, is that I have to install it over your beautiful themed swype 2.0. As of now you have to have root to delete swype.apk file from your system/apps folder so that you can go to the website and down load the 3.0 beta version. Make sure you do not have swype selected as the keyboard you are using before you delete the file!

GM, this is all a very long way of me asking: I guess we need to wait until 3.0 is out of beta before you start theming her?
