I honestly love the transformer. Didn't think I would use it much but I bought it and then the dock a few days later and sold my netbook. The battery life is what drew me to it and the price. I returned the ipad 2 cause I wanted my paid apps plus it just didn't do it for me even though its a great piece of hardware. I use my TF all night at work tethered to my Co workers evo and couldn't be happier. Honeycomb has its flaws for sure but most can be overcome with apps for now and its getting better with every update.
[HTC EVO 3D] chefdave12118:
The xda member with the Dexter avatar was telling me how he enjoyed his TF and he may have just said enough for me to have one on my dining room table by the end of the month. Our house hold has quite a few android phones and tablets but that transformer is really attractive.

[HTC EVO 3D] AfroCreame:
I dunno, the TF feels very cheap to me. I have both the iPad 2 and Galaxy 10.1 but if I had to choose I'd go with the 10.1.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Like MyTouch 3G cheap or sturdier? I have to ask because the 2 tablets you own have a very high build quality.

BTW, damn you are an OG member, never seen a '04 XDA member. :p
[HTC EVO 3D] FaithCry:
Transformer for sure if you're looking for productivity. That's assuming you buy the dock which has an extra battery, usb ports and a regular sized SD port in it. And its super easy to root and almost impossible to brick!
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
I love my 10.1. The build quality is very nice.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Yeah the Keyboard dock will be in tow, that's what appealed to me. The fact that it's a battery extender, keyboard with touchpad & that it operates via the connector, vs bluetooth really made me love this more.

The low cost is icing the cake for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] vo1damort:
The Galaxy tab and Transformer both have a lot going for them but I think I will wait until toshiba's AT200 drops and decide then.
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
I got an iPad and a MOTO tablet (xoom ) I like honeycomb is a nice OS , but I prefer my iPad , it has better apps and games, some apps are expensive like numbers bit Damn they couldn't make it any easier to do spreadsheets easier, email is so nice to see and YouTube as well, battery life is outstanding , and i like mgs as well so is great to have the game on my iPad , I wouldnt buy games like Angus birds hd I already have it on my iPhone so is not worth the extra bucks , I wish tapatalk would be like email app to see threads tho but overall great device they have some cheaps docks online , keyboard might cost you a bit if you want one , overall great device having an EVO , iPhone and iPad is the perfect combination for me :)

Might consider android tablet when ics comes out but as of now iPad is good for me
[HTC EVO 3D] nuprotocol:
I'm using the TouchPad with my E3D and of course got it during the first day of the FireSale. However I think it does depend on your funds and what you'll be using it for. Money/Productivity wise I would go with the TF. Being able to remote into your PC plus the keyboard dock is awesome.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
You own the 1st or the 2nd iPad?

I've been considering the iPad 2, since I do like to have devices with different OS & I do have quite a few iOS apps but mostly because I was paid to use iOS in a software trial using the iPod Touch 4.

My only gripe is the Home UI, file management & iTunes.
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Home UI doesn't bug since is a table is.not like my phone, I don't mind itunes , sometimes you think you'll could do more if you could handle any file but it doesn't bug me much, I got the original iPad I got the iPad 2 but I felt like it wasn't worth it at the time and still don't, the original iPad is really good device and the camera and the proccesor doesn't convince me, but that's your descion, I think having two diferent OS is good because you have nice features on both and battery life seems better on ipads then android tablets that I seem , the screen looks really good too
[HTC EVO 3D] prettyboyrob2007:
A Jail broken ipad 2.
[HTC EVO 3D] chefdave12118:
What does a jailbroken ipad give ya? Because I used to own one? (Replaced it with a galaxy tab)

Not being a ****..... Just wondering if I missed anything.

I had an Epic 4G and recently got a TouchPad. After a week or two with the TouchPad I finally got an Evo 3D. Ever since I've rarely used the TouchPad except for a certain game and to show off my TouchPad.
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
The newer transformers, model b70 which is selling now cannot be rooted. It has a new boot loader. I have a older one without dock and its okay. I bought to have flash...now I am waiting for the new kel- el versions instead of the tegra 2 chipset. Don't have any experience with the galaxy. I also have a iPad one I use. I switch between those two at home and for the road..I use my color nook because of the portability. I don't nave a favorite, they all suck somewhat in my view, iPad strength is software battery life. Transformer strength is cost( but newer ones remember are locked) . If I where you..hold off for a few months till the new chipset comes out..the kal-el as I mention.
[HTC EVO 3D] parmend:
I was wanting to sell my iPad . What android tab get the most development.
[HTC EVO 3D] Visionikz03:
i had a wifi xoom but honestly, it's got some market downloading issues(honeycomb related) plus sd card is read only and there aren't as many apps available in tablet version... to me i felt it was unnecessary since i have a 15" macbook pro. I couldn't for the life of me find a word processing app to type papers... so i retured it within my 14 days...
[HTC EVO 3D] vanisleguy1976:
I've been rocking the 32 GB Acer Iconia wifi version for about 3 months now! It's a pretty solid creature and it's all but replaced the need for a laptop. (though my PC is still up and running... Tablets really can only do so much)

There's really good development for it here at xda (Vache's Taboonay is my ROM of choice... He was developing for the Acer Liquid E when I first came onto the android scene, and knowing he was developing for the Iconia was one of my reasons for choosing it) His kitchen is full of goodies too (we all love goodies, don't we? ;))

I like the full sized usb port for using thumb drives, external hard drives and usb keyboard/mouse... Even my old Sony Cybershot was instantly detected, plus the HDMI out is a sweet feature. It's really fast and stable. I've been alternating between Polaris and Docs to Go for word processing and spreadsheets, and in my line of work (chef), I find it really useful for inventory, orders, recipe organization, scheduling, etc. It's better than hauling a laptop around.

Just yesterday, I found out how to wired-tether my evo to share data without having to enable the hotspot. All in all, I'm extremely happy with it!

I've seen a heck of a lot of bad press about it, but can't for the life of me understand why. Head over to the Iconia page, and read what other users have to say. http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1133 It's quite popular among those of us who have given it a shot. I think it's something of a hidden gem among better known brands.

Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we will change the world.
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
In all honesty if you are thinking of buying an Android Tablet, I would wait until closer to Christmas to buy one. The nVidia Tegra 3 is a quad core and is said to be running on tablets released later this year. Asus has already said they are building their next Transformer and it will be sporting this new Quad core Tegra 3 chip. Don't get me wrong, I love my Transformer, but if you buy one look on the box and make sure it is a B6O build. The B6O has solved most of the volume rocker and light bleed problems although on a IPS screen it is almost impossible not to have some light bleed. Like someone said the B7O models that are being released now have a new bootloader that is not rooted yet, but it will probably only be a matter of time before it can be rooted and the Transformer is pretty good on stock HC ever since the 3.2 upgrade. Honestly the "custom" Roms that are out for the Transformer are pretty stock really with just a few tweaks. The Transformer comes with the full version of Polaris Office which allows you to view and edit MS Office docs. I love this tablet, but as soon as the Quad core version drops I will sell this to get that.

I will be sticking with Asus as well. I build and repair computers on the side and use Asus components as often as possible because of their build quality and their support. IMO Asus makes some great products and if there are flaws with them they will make it right.

The only other Tablet I have owned was the Viewsonic GTab. It was OK, but Viewsonic is not supporting it. It comes with a horrible UI they call TapnTap. Once rooted and running a HC Rom it was pretty decent, but the screens viewing angles are terrible, but it is a good tablet if you want to spend less. I have seen them brand new for around $250. Like someone mentioned before the Asus Transformer is nearly unbrickable and so is the Viewsonic GTab and probably any other device that has an nVidia processor and some has gotten a hold of the nvflash tool for it. Nvflash is a great tool provided by nvidia to restore tablets to factory state. It can also be used to root your tablet as well.

These are only my opinions and experiences with the tablets I have owned. The Galaxy 10.1 looks really nice and if you are going for aesthetics you may want it. The Xoom is a good tablet, but I have heard the Xoom 2 is right around the corner. iPad's are nice, but I personally would never own an "i" anything, but that is a personal choice and I don't hate on people that do like Apple products.
[HTC EVO 3D] bobdude5:
i have the galaxy tab 10.1 had the ipad 2 but i sold it. Love my tab but i do want the HTC Jetstream/puccini or the lenovo thinkpad for ntrig digitizer and stylus. I'd prefer the HTC but the pricing on it does not look to good right now
[HTC EVO 3D] jfcooley:
I won my tab, and chose the 10.1

It has worked very well with my evo 3d, and I could recommend it. I think may be best to wait, as Amazons tabs look good, and a few others do as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] parmend:
Around how many apps are there for android tablets?
[HTC EVO 3D] Viper87227:
I picked up a Transformer w/ dock and am very happy with it.
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
I'm not sure how many there are, but there is a site that filters out apps that are specifically for Tablets. He does a really good job and the site is well laid out. Here's a link: http://tablified.com/
[HTC EVO 3D] vanisleguy1976:
Tablified just surpassed the 500 mark!

[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Much love for the transformer, I might wait for the updated variation (Tegra 3 powered) like housry recommended but if the price doesn't look right I'll go with the older model. Thanks guys.
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
I have the Transformer as well and honestly, while it might not be as solid as an iPad I really don't care. I put it in a nice carbon-fiber case which covers any "cheapness" and, at half the price of an iPad...and it can run all the paid apps I have...and it supports flash...and I can put whatever fricken music and videos I want on it without putting it through the iTunes grinder. Well, that just makes it priceless. I looked at the Galaxy Tab as well and for the minor difference in screen quality versus price...again, the Transformer was a better deal. (not to mention I bought an open-box one for $299)

I'm pretty happy with it too. I wish the speakers were a bit louder, but I've listened to them next to my first gen iPad (which the wife has control of) and the sound output is pretty similar. Oh, and now with GrooveIP, I can use it like a speaker phone and from what people have told me the quality is pretty good.

Besides...with all the shenanigans Apple is pulling lately, I will no longer support them in any way anymore. They've become the late 90's Microsoft...even a little worse.
[HTC EVO 3D] antyx:
I had the Transformer for two weeks and took it back...Even with the 3.1 update the browser and other apps constantly freaked out when I started typing...Sluggish and delayed are the appropiate words needed to explain that...The sound from the speakers was very low and I couldn't stand it...It was nice but now that I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1, I realize how heavy the TF was...The 10.1 is very nice and the only flaw is that there are no slots (sd, usb) built in...:D
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
I'd wait for the Transformer 2 which is rumored to come out in October or November.
[HTC EVO 3D] lchupacabras:
I personally have had an iPad 2 since its release [originally traded an iPhone 4 for the OG iPad (which was a POS) then sold that OG about a month before the 2 hit and payed oh... 100ish bucks for the new model; I love social engineering :D] and love it to death. Never had anything with a week-long battery for school, I'll tell you what.

As for games and apps, you get your pick; there's not really a shortage of iOS apps for anything though there is a limit to how sophisticated they are due mainly to the fact that people buy them either way and Apple controls their devices w/ an iron grip.

My main uses:

School in general

PDFs

Movies

Music (Pandora, etc.)

Storage Device

Notes

Art (tons of fun drawing/sketching apps and even some hardcore vector-creating apps)

Reading (Web, webzines, new, books, comic books, etc.)

My main complaints:

No true browser for the damn thing. At least not one that supports all [parts] of the web.

PC-Reliant (If you don't already have a PC, you're SOL for even turning on the damn thing for the first time)

Res (It's ****, but it's pretty ****)

Reliance on apps. I like the fact that there's an app for everything, I don't like the fact that you can do basically nothing on it without [at least] some apps.

YouTube; **** this POS app.

Cameras; meh. Taken one pic w/ it the entire time I've had it.

Universality; if you plug this iPad to another PC you get nothing.

^A LOT of those issues will be fixed with iOS5 this fall, so if you can wait for the quirks to be ironed out then you're good. Otherwise it's a solid little system with some solid little apps. Never expect to do anything that you can't do on a regular ol' laptop w/ it but if you're looking for portability and stupid great battery life go for it.

I recommend the MacBook Air, btw. Especially if you're paying full price for this so-called tablet (iPad or otherwise.) It's a solid machine w/ a real OS (hell, you can put Windows/Linux on it if that's your poison) that is very portable and has pretty decent battery life itself. The price isn't that much different than what you'll be paying for a tablet + case + apps + keyboard + etc, etc... especially if you're a student and get a discounted rate on it.

Wow this post is too long, I'm out.
[HTC EVO 3D] Quis89:
I have an iPad 2. Felt it was too redundant to have both an android phone and tablet.
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
I don't think it's too redundant. Plus it saves you a little money since you don't have to buy apps for two different platforms.

You might as well wait for the transformer 3 too. Jk
[HTC EVO 3D] mi7chy:
I like the idea of a low power consumption general computing device with strong video decoding performance, snappy CPU performance and cloud capabilities. It looks like my first device will likely be the Asus Transformer 2 based on Nvidia Kal-El.
[HTC EVO 3D] thermbug:
I loved my Evo 4g. I am developing fondness for my Evo 3d. I like my Xoom but it'll take custom rom's, or ICS which it should just be able to run to move it up in comfort and utility of the experience. I'd wait until perhaps our 3rd ICS tablet is released and then jump on the market leader that has the best developer following. What the transformer or 10.1 will be come February.
[HTC EVO 3D] nebenezer:
I love my xoom and use it daily but I REALLY wish there was a keyboard option even remotely comparable to the Transformer. Im about to get the bt folio keyboard thing from verizon, it just doesn't even come close to the Asus.
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
I plan on buying another tablet in the next few months too and if the Transformer 2 has the ability to dual boot ICS and Windows 8, that'll pretty much seal the deal for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] rugedraw:
I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of those bargain TouchPads going around. I'm just waiting for an Android port now, but the tablet itself is kick-ass. It looks and feels very expensive. I'm very happy with it......I can't wait for someone to Android over to it.

My wife and I each have an iPad 2. While it's a nice device, not being able to get full web content (i.e. Flash - yes, it's a security risk, atrocious, etc), having to convert all my media to view it, etc, really makes me wish I'd gone with an Android device.

I'll probably look at trading out the iPads for the new devices coming out next year. I can put up with having to remote to my desktop/laptop to get full web content until then.

I have been looking at tablets for some time now, and had decided on the Transform but Cnet just reviewed the new Sony tablet and gave it the highest rating so figured I would wait till it comes out Sept 16th to compare the 2
[HTC EVO 3D] fsalazar504:
I question the way CNET reviews things sometimes. They sometimes rate gadgets lower than consumers, I usually read the consumer ratings more because they at least own the device for more than a day and can comment more on pros and cons.

On the topic though, I've been looking into the Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 and also awaiting the new transformer tablet.

I have two a Xoom (Xoom Zone ROM) and a HP Touchpad. Can NEVER have too many toys unless you can't make your mortgage payment.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
I tried it & yes, it's nothing more than an oversized phone, like the 1st Galaxy Tab.

I'd stick to Tablet's running HoneyComb or higher.
[HTC EVO 3D] krahim786:
just bought the acer iconia 16gb for casual web browsing etc. Honestly, I didn't realize how useful Honeycomb is compared to iOS. I also have an OG iPad which gets no love from me. (my 20month old daughter plays toddler games on it) and that's about it.

the iconia is absolutely PERFECT for anyone that wants to use a flash drive, sd card reader, or usb host connectivity. if you have a dslr and want to connect it to the tablet, this is pretty much your only choice.

the transformer looks a little nicer, but the iconia FEELS much nicer and can handle harsher use scenarios. also, the iconia has the full size usb port whereas you have to buy (and carry around) the added keyboard dock with the transformer to have access to a full size usb port.

Aside from my EVO 3D, I have an iPad 2, Galaxy Tab 10.1, a stock NOOKcolor, and a rooted NOOKcolor. Of all of them, the Galaxy Tab is the best.
[HTC EVO 3D] bagelicious:
I've heard a lot of noise online lately about a leaked 3.x build for the Flyer that just came out very recently. Once the View gets HC do you think it would be worth it? I realize its kinda hard to tell since nobody's seen that yet and we don't know how well it would be implemented.

I dont have the money for a good tab unfortunately :( so what are some good lower budget tabs?? I'm so pissed I missed out on the touchpad give away :/

Sent from my double barrel Shooter. BANG!
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Yeah, Honeycomb adds a bit more value & it's a tad less redundant.

Even without it being dual-core it's still pretty powerful.

The are some sub $200 Tablets but AFAIK they're all running Froyo. :(

VeiwSonic, Archos, etc. has sub $200 Tablets.

I'm sure you could buy a used iPad at that price on Craigslist. Just please if you do, do it in a VERY Public area (Think Mall, Police Station :eek:, etc.) on a very sunny day) by an outlet, after 10 minutes of testing the thing, with the screen unlock off.
