[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jjdevega:
looks good to me. Count me in as one to get the Prime. $499 for the 32gb is my aim. My 90 day return policy at Costco will be up in 48 days.... hope they release it before then.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Silenus21:
Good bye to this section.

Just sold my Galaxy Tab 10.1 yesterday.

Will buy a Prime in december.

Thanks a lot to Pershoot, Task, Phantom, Supercurio and other devs working on making the Galaxy Tab a better tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jjdevega:
I will soon be joining you:) Fortunately for me I have some time to play with SGT while I await the release early Dec. If it goes any later then that I will have to return it earlier to stay under warrenty. I have no qualms with SGT. It has performed the way I wanted it to. Prime is just to tempting with all the bells and whistles, I just have to have it! Hopefully once Prime is up and running it won't take to long for our great Dev's to work there magic.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Silenus21:
Apart from better internals (finally handling 1080p correctly), Prime has more ports plus the dock is really useful with its extended battery life.

Another thing Asus has a good track record with updates.

Samsung hasn't even updated to 3.2 yet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jjdevega:
It's unfortunate that they just didn't release it today as planned. I know ICS... but it would give peeps some time to play with it while ICS is getting worked on. I love the ports and SD slot! I had an ACER A500Wifi 32gb before I switched to SGT. I have to admit I do miss the ports and the expandeble memory. I hope thy make enough on release date because I'm sure this will sellout within hours once it's on the shelves.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Silenus21:
My only luck is online.

Hopefully Amazon and best buy carry it.

On Ebay they'll ask 700+ for it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] anilkuj:
i just sold my galaxy tab , ready for the prime!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hoss_n2:
I feel that I will be the only one keeping my galaxy Tab, some gone for the transformer prime and others goes for 7plus and 7.7 :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
The Prime is the first of the next generation of tablets. Everyone will be introducing a next-gen product in 2012. I'm happy with my Tab and would rather wait for both the technology and ICS to mature through actual use rather than buy the first improved product out there. Mark my words, there are going to be huge issues with the Prime in the first couple of months. It appears rushed to market and adopting HC for the Teg 3 can't have been easy. Same thing for apps running it on it. Samsing's developing a 1.5GHz Exynos chip that's an evolution of the current version that's 25% faster. That's probably 50% faster than the Teg 2. The Teg 2 hasn't been impresive even though it looked that way on paper. Let's see how the Teg 3 performs in everyday use. While the work Nvidia's done on the Teg 3 looks good, Qualcomm, Samsung, and TI, aren't going to roll over and play dead. There will be lots of alternatives to the Prime in 2012.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Itaintrite:
Fingers crossed Samsung will announce something by December ;) If not, Prime it is (for now).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ghostboa:
Your not alone. I will be grabbing the 64gb version as soon as it comes out, but my gt10.1 won't be going anywhere.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Thomas3G:
You are for sure not the only one. Will skip at least one generation of quad cores, till even thinking of changing my GT 10.1. It does as I expected. I think many of the users, who are not satified, just did no/too less research before.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Panos_dm:
+1. Most of the issues discussed here the last weeks were known since the past months.

BTW I just got it...I LOVE IT:)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Silenus21:
My problem is the lost of value.

I like to change my gadgets but fear that If I wait any longer my Galaxy Tab 10.1 would sell for 300 which is a 200 bucks loss.

I sold mine for 450 and plan to get the prime later.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hoss_n2:
I've bought my tab 40 days ago and selling it at this moment wont cost me much but from what i've learned from my long experience with phones is that "dont buy recently released things '' 1st i bought thehtc tytnII which had dust under the screen , htc hd2 upon release and it had defects in the screen and the software was laggy but th second wave was way better , the sensation also had touch screen grounding defects , my galaxy tab 7 android 2.2 was sh"t and cant even play 480p flash upon release, motorolla xoom with ****ty and laggy honey comb 3.01, and finally the galaxy tab 10.1 with the laggy touch wizard , i think I will wait for atleast 6 monthes to see other alternatives and reviews of other devices and how they will operate compared to the current devices , adding for that that the tegra 3 power won't be noticed except in only 3 games in tegra zone not even in the web browsing ( my galaxy tab web browsing is nearly as fast as my core i7 processor so i think tegra 3 wont improve any thing over that ), finally i think we should wait for the android ICS before we can judge the real performence of the tegra 2 cpu
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Silenus21:
I don't think is a sensible purchase, buying a product later in it's life when you can get a newer tech at the same price.

It's not like the Galaxy tab is 300 bucks now.

I can't justify paying 500 for a tegra 2 with it's awful gpu when I can get a tegra 3 at the same price and good build quality. The prime is aluminium.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] qhinton:
I agree after coming from Acer, Asus, and Xoom to a 7.0 plus I can't feel the difference. Especially with watching movies the processor in the Plus can handle 1080 without any other video app from the market.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hoss_n2:
i didn't say that you have to buy tegra 2 device but what i said that you shouldn't buy any device once it is released in the market , by the way the tegra2 gpu is not weak , that is what nvidia wants you to believe to buy their new chipsets , see this search and you will see them advertizing the same capabilities hat they are advertising tegra 3 with it today http://www.youtube.com/results?sear...gra+2&spell=1&suggested_categories=20,28&sa=X it is the power of marketing
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Silenus21:
Try to play 1080p videos and tell me it's not weak.

Compare it to Mali and the PowerVR from the iPad 2, it's a joke.

I got your point about first adopters, it's a bit of a risk but really Tegra 2 was rushed and ICS wont fix the video decoder.

Samsung knows this too, might be why they made this move.

That's PSP Vita raw power.

Why do you think they didn't include Tegra on the GS2, Tab 7.7, 7.0 plus and the Note.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hoss_n2:
the problem with 1080p is drivers problem it has nothing to do with hardware , that is why dice player improves 1080p playback because ot its improved driverswhich make use of the hardware acceleration , talking about the processor some gs2 devices also dont use samsung processor , they use qualcomm like at&t and tmobile GS2 , they only use their processor because it is cheaper to use their own processor rather than buying one from a 3rd party supplier , finally of course tegra 3 is the most powerful processor in the market but is is worth upgrading ? who knows may be 2 monthes from now qualcomm releases its 1.5 ghz dual core with 28 nm technology (vs 40nm on tegra3 ) and for sure samsung would be releasing something allot more powerful than the tegra 3 in terms of gpu , etc would you be upgrading then while you only bought your prime 2 monthes ago ? . it is up to you i don't know
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cbpagent72:
soda cans are aluminum too so they must be worth more than the plastic bottles. Don't fool yourself your going to get cheap aluminum that probably costs as much as plastic not some high end aircraft grade stuff.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cbpagent72:
Try using the tmobile gs2 compared to the sprint gs2 the exynos feels much faster. Qualcomm is generally **** quality and nvidia's mobile offering had been as well so far.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Silenus21:
Not even Dice player (I bought that) has been able to play 1080p seamlessly on Tegra 2.

But also there are other factors driving me towards the Prime.

I love ultrabooks but can't spend that much on them so the prime with a dock will give me that feeling.

I don't like Gtab 10.1 keyboard docks, plus the battery on the dock is a very nice bonus.

I didn't choose the Transformer 1 because it was too chubby and I didn't like the design, this one is a very nice upgrade in aesthetics.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Croak:
Hearing some things that don't bode well for Tegra 3:

http://semiaccurate.com/2011/11/09/tegra-3-missed-performance-goals-by-wide-margins/

That said, if every bit of that article is true, it still means that Tegra 3 will suck less than Tegra 2. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gjpicko:
I'm Sticking with my Tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Geekbabe:
The Asus Prime looks tasty indeed, what I'm eager to see is what Samsung's NEXT generation tablet offering will be. I can't imagine Samsung sitting there doing nothing while Asus takes market share from them
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Interesting article. The author obviously isn't a big Nvidia fan but some of the technical reasoning he's brought forward makes sense. I think the reference to a Frankenstein chip says it all. It's a bunch of existing technology all glued together in ways it hasn't been before. The real pinch point will be how well Nvidia managed all the "housekeeping" in getting it all to work together. What was said about memory and memory management could also prove to be a weak link. The revising of the performance estimates and quoting "peak" numbers also says something. I guess we'll see how well it does in the real world in a couple of weeks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Silenus21:
Yes very interesting.

Anyways I'll wait for Anandtech's deep analysis of Tegra 3.

I still have a touchpad to play.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] b3z:
frustrating..

Bit annoyed because I couldn't buy a retail SGT 10.1 here in Aus due to the crappy apple court case.. so I finally anted up and bought one off the net and now the new Asus was announced like two weeks later.... amazing how fast this industry is moving.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Sean Sounds:
I love the GT 10.1 but I would be happy with a dual core right now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tenderidol:
As long as the quality is better than the previous Transformer, I would consider one. The array of features/ports and the size/weight of the tablet is amazing.

I'll wait for some in depth reviews first before trying to get one. I am sure it'll be on backorder at many places.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jnn1:
Nope for me,

Prime is fortunately thinner than Tab but not lighter, so id still prefer Tab. And the rounded edge of the Tab i felt was ergonomically better for my hands too. Besides I switched to Tab 8.9 cause of the weight (under 1 pound makes it so much more comfortable for one hand reading, without any loss of screen resolution in 7 inch tablets).

A minor other point is I too gphave become somewhat less impressed with tegra2's capabilities and would rather see a sammy quad core for my next featherweight tablet. ;-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] siggehandf:
I see no reason to get any new tablet the next year or two. ICS will be supported and as far as I am concerned. It is only the software holding these tablets back. That said, my tablet works absolutely flawless and is a dream to work with, after the touchscreen app was released in the development section. It's running touchwiz stock, not even the latest version of it. Only rooted.

With the screen tuning app the display is nothing short of amazing and makes me watch most my movies on the tablet. I don't have some great 1080p collection, so 720p is fine for me and doesn't make that big a difference since the tablet only displays 800 pixels horizontal.

Overall, wih root, screentuning and display tuning. My tablet feels like a triple A+ product that I know I willmbe using for along time.

And no, I don't have lag. I rarely have a fc and other abnormalities.

Imho there is no reason whst so ever to get then new Asus tablet. Nothing is going to support those 4 to 5 cores for a long time. And no developers will be stupid enough to make any quad cores only programs or games.

The absolutely best looking game on the market right now, is shadowgun. My tablet runs that perfectly. Everything short of 1080p runs like a dream... And will continue to the next couple of years.

Sorry for the rant, but the amount of bashing in this thread was getting silly.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sudhirkhanger:
No, I have full faith in Asus's inability (along with motorola) of making a thin and lighter tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cbpagent72:
LOL...A neat fact the new ASUS is thinner than the Samsung and the weight difference is within 26 grams. I just don't trust Nvdias mobile chips my gt 10.1 makes my cell phone feel like a rocket.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
The Asus Prime's got company...

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/11/lenovo-kal-el-scoop.jpg

The Lenovo has 2GB of RAM and a cool little scroll thing on its back. It looks thin and will probably be built better. I'm sure there will be more next-gen tablets from other manufacturers coming soon.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] arbitarytwist:
Just bought a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 last week. Now debating if i should keep it or return it.

Looking for some thoughts. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
This is just the first wave of second-gen tablets. HTC, Asus, and Lenovo have all announced upcoming devices based on Teg 3. The performance of the Teg 3 hasn't been proven in real life and with dual-core chips the Nvidia was the worst performer between Snapdragon, TI, and Exynos. The other chip makers are going to counter with something so it might be better to see what they come up with. We also don't know yet what kind of performance benefits we'll see from ICS on the current Tab. Personally, I'm going to wait for Samsung and for some feedback on the actual performance of the new processors and ICS. Also, if you want a 3G version it'll be a long wait regardless. Samsung just launched the 32/64GB 3G Tabs in the UK a month ago and Asus is in the process of releasing the 3G version of the first-gen Transformer. If you want a Tab now, the AT&T 8.9 is LTE and has a Qualcomm processor which performs much better than the Teg 2. They're having a deal starting November 20th wherein you'll get a free Skyrocket with purchase which is a great deal if you're OK with a carrier Tab. Also, the 7+ is Exynos which is probably the best performer in the Tab series right now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] robeyamy:
thanks

Thank you for your information.

Do you have more information about it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Here's a link. It's a great deal for people already with AT&T at or near their device upgrade window on the phone side. The Tab itself doesn't need to be on contract, it can be month-to-month with (most likely) a 2 or 3 month minimium before you can cancel data service.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dazz87:
Return it and get the Prime. Getting a 10.1 is a waste of money right now when the Prime is coming out next month.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] :
I'm very happy with the performance of my Tab especially that it is getting ICS
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ToggleLee:
I'm not hungry to switch. I know everyone like faster performance.

But android bring a good experience in each update. I would like to wait ics more.

and gtab just has released their series eventually. I believe they will not give us up in future half year .
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
There was a leak today about an Acer Teg 3 tablet with a 1900x1200 display resolution. That makes four announced next-gen tablets - Asus, HTC, Lenovo, and now Acer. Toshiba, Samsung, and Sony aren't going to sit idly by either. Those that jump on the Prime just because it’s first are betting a lot on Asus. I'm a gadget whore but with both the h/w (quad-core) and s/w (ICS) in flux, being first this time doesn't interest me. I'd like to see what ICS does to improve the user experience and what Qualcomm's (and other’s) quad-core processors looks like compared to Nvidia. Everyone's flocking to their quad-core chip when in the dual-core world it was at best considered average. My Tab works great so replacing it with something shinier isn’t an emergency. If I were in the market for a 10” tablet I’d wait until: A) there’s some real-world feedback on the Teg 3, B) ICS is available out of the box, and C) there are at least two models out there to compare against each other.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jjdevega:
I will get my hands on a Prime when it's available. If for some reason it doesn't live up to the hype before warranty expires then I'll just simply get my money back and get the next hyped up tablet. It's a never ending cycle to find my perfect tablet for my needs or at least close to it.

I want to shop where you do. What store allows you to return something for cash under warranty? Especially if it's because you're bored with it. Most stores are 30 days and Costco's the most liberal at 90 days.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jjdevega:
Mainly Costco. I purchased my SGT their so I still have about 40 days of my warranty left. I'll be keeping it until Prime comes out then return it. Most likely Costco will carry Prime at launch. If not I'll get it somewhere else after the return.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dlieuOfXda:
If the money did not matter, I would have bought every tab out there just to compare.

But since it is, upgrading hardware just a little bit is not justified. The biggest problem is the android itself, not the hardware or a form factor fraction of mm difference, and hence the biggest improvements are to be expected from software updates (for as long as developers keep porting them to us), methinks.

I had Google nexus for almost 2 years now. Initially it was a laggy and choppy experience of pre-froyo android, but after a couple of updates experience changed quite a bit.

Right now galaxy has a pretty lousy touch screen movement filter ( it just needs to be redone, sorry, there can be no second opinion about this, cause nit having it is also no option), and applications just have to have a way to interface with its adjustments depending on application purpose. I bet that's how it is optimized in Ipad.

But things usually get better with anroid releases relatively fast, and the first thing one could notice that is probably the experience. Things get screwed up by vendors though a lot, it seems. That's the downside at the moment.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
People that are rushing for the Prime will probably regret it. Both the Acer and Lenovo will have more RAM (2GB) and a higher res screen (1920 x 1152). And those are just the first two we have additional details on. In this case, being first may not be best. Unless you need a tablet now, waiting a month or two will open up a lot of additional options.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] madsquabbles:
i went through 4 defective transformers. i doubt i'll give asus another chance.

so far, out of 5 different samsung devices i only have 1 with a defect - droid charge isn't being recognized by the pc and draining 50x faster than normal. asus just has a crappy qc record with me. kinda bad when you badmouth asus over samsung on android devices, lol.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hoss_n2:
I will wait for the Q3 where 2.5 ghz qualcomm tablets are released or a quad core samsung processor . Otherwise I'm happy with my tab for now and wating for ics as android till now doesn't make full use of even a dualcore processor

[Motorola Photon 4G] boolboo:
Im coming over to the photon from E4GT, tired of Samsung.

Anyway, Im confused about the most optimal route for flashing. I see bootstrap, unlocked bootloader stuff. I see a couple kernals, a couple roms....but then there is the OTA thing that will probably occur when I power on the phone. How will affect my rom set up? Why does flashing an ext 4 kernal break the wifi functionality? Why would anyone use bootstrapped method when the bootloader is now unlocked?

Idk, Im just a little photon newb, and I will probably told to go do more reading. But honestly I have such a headache from researching these phones (new sprint customer), dealing with my E4GT probalems....so if anyone feels like typing and introducing me to photon best practices, I will "thank" them.

Thanks guys :o

[Motorola Photon 4G] Rabidmechanic05:
Flashing issues with bootstrap, possible bricking, only really good for backups... My path for flashing was pudding unlock, root with one click root from shabby, fastboot clockwork onto your phone, then place the ROM of your choice on your phone via cwm... I'm running homebase 2.1 Deblur with update 4.2, and so far not a single problem. Just make sure you know what you are doing and read read read before doing anything.
