BOWO...

Ipad 3 is better on all aspects on my opinion BUT ONE! The size-factor!

If you want it to be mobile go with the 7.7... the best 7"er there is atm.

I take my tablet anywhere... I actually put it in my pocket and use it as my mobile phone as well... I usually wear jeans or some trousers so... It does get a lot of attention when I put it to my ear as I get a phone call... but ohh well... :)

That's just my 2 dimes :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] platodd:
I've owned 3 ipads and now have the iPad2. I recently looked at tab 7.7 and I fell in love. I have an android phone. I love android os and love my iPad. If you don't have an iPad you would probably get more with it than the tab, but don't settle get both. I know I am :-)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] shazoom:
One more killer feature, for some, is the tab is a pretty good if ridiculous phone. Unlike the 7.7, which was only a speaker phone, it had a speaker and microphone in the normal position.

I would also argue that Swype makes the tab more productive, in a pinch. I'm not saying you'll want to write power point presentations with it but you can. I have and it wasn't the worst experience.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] geogetski666:
my bad i didn't know that ios has those layers now it has been years since i last touched an ios product hehe

before i was watching mkv already on my nexus and the ipad and ipod touch still has those crappy players that won't even load mkv files hehe :)

but i still hate apple for not including a microsd slot and the connectivity kit that phones now are having also that horrid itunes sync XD
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] maysider:
Please, let the apple be

Even if there is the same hardware, ios and android are completely incompatible..... it is not about hardware but about philosophy

If you like democracy and want to adjust your tablet, buy android

If you like to be led by anyone and don't need to adjust your tablet and look stylish than buy ios. And of course if you dont want to have widgets, buy ios.

But really I really can't imagine to live without widgets....there is year 2012, not time for windows desktop from 1995 :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] GadgetMe:
My experience

I had the iPad 2 and loved it but found myself allways bringing my laptop with me aswell becouse there is a lot of things in relation to work where i often felt iOS is way to restricted (unless you JB it and uses a lot of ninja tricks all the time)

Now i have the 7.7 and in the beginning i was a little disapointed with the lacking and smoothesness in the OS but after having used a litte time getting to know it and configuring it for my needs and wants i absolutely love it.

Everyday I encounter new things i can just do rigth away instead of having to breake or get around a restriction first.

The formfactor, size and screen is just another thing that makes it so much more handy and right for me.

My biggest advice is that you give it at real chance if you should choose to try the 7.7
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] teiglin:
I feel that this really captures the essence of the issue. What's right for you? The differences have already been highlighted, which I review in order of importance to me:

1. iOS vs. Android: no religious wars, please, we all understand this one :P

2. 9.7" vs 7.7": do you want more real estate or more portability?

3. High-res IPS LCD vs. SAMOLED+: do you prefer more resolution and mature technology, or do you prefer black blacks, more saturated colors, and faster response time?

It's just a matter of weighing those three points. I do think it's unfortunate that if you prefer the larger form factor but the beauty of OLED, there is no option for that. Personally I am squarely in the 7.7 camp for all three points, but obviously this is something everyone needs to evaluate for themselves.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] DaveC1964:
Apple devices are great. They have the best build quality (I mean the body is actually CNC machined out of a slab of billet aluminum, not a plastic body with a thin piece of aluminum sheet metal glued on). The apps are the best on Apple, after all App is the first part of their name! Where it all falls apart are no memory cards for expansion, little to no control over the GUI, no direct drag and drop, and the worst of all you MUST install and use iTunes for everything.... Grr. For some that may not be a big deal but for me it was so annoying that I finally dumped the ipad. I am not sure why but I loathed itunes with the heat of a thousand suns.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] copualt3:
Buy both and be happy...:) I just got the new iPad and browsing is so pleasurable with the text being so clear.

The 7.7 is awesome In its own accord being so portable and android.

The new iPad is cool in its own rights.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
+1, really depends on what you want/need, both products are geat!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bdroc:
i've owned the touchpad and the 7.7 and really it comes purely down to form factor, what you use it for, and the OS.

i personally find 10.1 and 9.7 form factor too big to be hauling around.

one thing that a lot of people don't mention is that the super amoled screens absorb a lot of reflectivity. One thing i cant stand about almost every tablet out there is that i can see myself in the screen almost constantly. if you are going to get a device for video watching, i would say go with the 7.7 without a doubt...as soon as that screen lights up, most reflections dissipate.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] dnee:
I think the biggest consideration between new Ipad and 7.7 is a phone feature.. if you wanna has call function go with 7.7 because Ipad cant do unless skype and also size i found 7.7 is compact and easy to carry maximum portability while you got tablet sized + Micro SD expansion & USB FD

for me between iOS and Android i prefer android because you can made it custom for your need even you can remove original "junk" apps, if you still doubt better go to the shop and try the demo for each tablet see which better for you
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] mywingtophone:
Got both and i'm happy I'm a proud android and iOS fanboy !
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] cneal:
I had the original iPad for two years, and just chose the Tab 7.7 over the new iPad. For me the screen wasn't the clincher (both are great), but instead it is all about two things:

1. Screen size -- the Tab's screen is the perfect size for me. I read a lot on my tablet and the iPad is too big for an ebook reader.

2. The Tab is also a phone. Get the 3G model and you have an all in one device. Instead of carrying around a tablet and a phone, now I just carry the tab and a Bluetooth headset.

These two differences are BIG.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] antos121:
I think that new ipad is more stable and has better touch.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] trocchietto:
really easy

if you want to have always with you a pc buy 7.7, if you will use at home ipad 3.

My 7.7 is almost fast as ipad 2, just get rid of TW launcher and kill apps in background

allegedly the new ipad will not be jailbreaked easily, and the new update for samsung called ice cream could be really convenient .

c'est facile:):):)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] geogetski666:
yup if they would just make it drag and drop and remove that silly itunes sync i would have bought an ios device again

haven't bought an idevice after my ipt3 when it first came out XD

but i still use my old ipod video 5th gen rockboxed thingking of upgrading it to new caps and imod it :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] hudl:
Now that the iPad3 is available, I won't recommend buying it:

1) It gets hot when using it

2) Charging with screen off needs 7h! With screen on, 18h...

3) Runtime has dropped compared to iPad2 (iPad2 ~12h video, new iPad 9h)

4) It weigths more and is a little thicker than iPad2

5) It costs more than iPad2 and only the GPU (not CPU) and display have improved

So, if you really want to buy Apple, buy iPad2. There are only 2 reasons left for the new iPad - the higherRes screen and the GPU. If you just want to play games, this will be great. But there are a lot important drawbacks imho...

I, personally, stay with my Tab7.7 and am happy with it. :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gaugerer:
The new iPad suffers from overheating making it too hot to hold after lengthy use which is a deal breaker for me. I've never heard any reports of overheating on the 7.7.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jezza333:
I've used a new iPad and have to say, hopefully without any bias, that it's just a device for the illiterate or people who don't have any idea on how to tun a PC on. Android has a large array of issues but even considering this it's still a more intuitive, advanced and relatively open OS.

Apple's marketing is second to none.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Not only that but it has sorts of screen related issues that apple fans are complaining about, some screens are just to warm in color temp resulting in a very yellowish whites and is noticeable with out a side by side comparison, terrible back light bleeding, red/pink tints and lots of clouding even visible with regular use, read all of this at macrumors and apple forums.

Right now Im out of options for a tablet :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] GOF007:
Compromise is the key.

Many things may not meet your expectation but we already have the most advanced consumer portable devices to date.

Just enjoy what we have. ^^
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] RipplingHurst:
The new iPad is very heavy... The screen alone is worth it, but in my opinion the 7.7 is a much better overall tablet...very portable, and great screen, better battery life, and plus with a 64GB sd card is great.

On a couch, and nothing beats the iPad though.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
Yeah, I think that due to the difference in size it's really not all that useful to make a binary distinction between the iPad and the 7.7. It can be useful to compare the differences in the two screens, but overall they fit different niches. Speaking of niches, the 7.7 is going to remain a niche product due to its price, size, and limited availability (carrier locked in the US).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
I can accept a few compromises but one of the biggest factor here in the Philippines is the customer support, ours is not that great compared to other countries. At least here, Samsung is providing great customer support with their high end phones and tablets. I'm looking at getting the Ipad3 but the reports of the screen issues scare me and we dont have an actual apple retail store here, just official resellers.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] GOF007:
@EarlZ

Your sig is so true lol
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Ravynmagi:
1. A properly working iPad does not get too hot. If yours does, you need to return it for an exchange or refund.

2. The new iPad battery is almost twice as large as the iPad 2 battery. So yes it takes longer to charge a larger battery.

3. So far the new iPad batter life has been very good for me. But I haven't sat around timing anything.

4. Very small weight and thickness increase, I can't imagine anyone would notice. However since this is a comparison between a 7 inch tablet and 10 inch tablet, it's an obvious con that the 10 inch tablet will be bigger and heavier. But compared to other 10 inch tablets, it's still on the light side.

5. The new iPad also has 1GB of RAM now. However that Retina display alone is pretty amazing and by itself justifies the extra $100 over the iPad 2. And retina isn't just for playing games, it is awesome surfing the web. Even the tiniest text on the 9.7 inch screen looks so clear and readable. It's something you really have to see and compare to appreciate I suppose.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gaugerer:
The big problem with the iPad is that it is too friggin big to carry around so you look a right idiot carrying it in a man bag and it is too big for women's handbags which is why you never see one outside the home. For men the Note is ideal for you can always find a pocket it will fit and for women the 7.7 easily fits in handbags.

The form factor on the iPad is crap too for viewing multiple windows because of it's square shape. The wide screen format is much better for that and for viewing media too as proved by the wide-screen televisions everywhere. The iPad is like an old square television dinosaur from the past.

I cannot understand why anyone would buy an iPad unless they have been brainwashed by the Apple hype. Even Steve Jobs has been proved wrong now that everyone wants a stylus and when Apple eventually increase the size of their tiny little phone then he'll be proved wrong on that too. Lawsuits against everyone won't save Apple, it needs to accept that it has been overtaken by Samsung, Asus and others and move on.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
There were no real issues with the text readability on the Ipad2, with the 3 you still get a similar web content but some of the images might look a bit fuzzy with the extra resolution. But there is no contest on text readability, its far superior as compared to the Tab7.7
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] lzj676:
I have both. I strongly recommend that you choose new iPad. The display is much better and UI is much more smooth and faster.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Diversion:
I own a iPad3 64gb Verizon model..

I went through 4 iPad3s at the Apple store last night (they were cool enough to keep opening units until we found a somewhat decent one)

You're thinking.. why did we have to do that?

The iPad3 has one of the most problematic displays i've seen so far on a tablet.. Every single one has a yellow tinted screen, it's not just a "natural" tone (I know my color tones and their uses).. These are OVERLY warm halogen looking displays.. Compared to the iPad2, it looks like you a have broken display and may the backlights have been inverted and are shining orange through your display.

It's jarring to say the least.. next issue was my first iPad was pretty yellow, but semed to have no dead pixels.. All 3 other units we opened had AT LEAST 1 dead pixel.. Sure, the pixels are harder to see, but once you know its there your eyes immediately go looking for it (or maybe i'm just OCD).

You're paying almost $900 for a tablet, you shouldn't have to deal with a low quality screen.

Next issue, they run considerably hotter than the iPad2 I previously owned.. And there's articles with temperature guages to prove it.

Once you hear that Apple had to nearly double the battery capacity to support the new display, the heat issues, now insane amounts of people complaining about display issues - it makes you feel Apple really rushed this product out the door this year. Not to mention having to go thicker/heavier package in a nice backwards fashion against every other tablet on the market.

It tells me "High resolution displays aren't exactly ready for primetime if they are so inefficient to the point you need to double the battery size to get ALMOST ipad2 battery life".. Not the mention the iPad2 still gets 30min-1 hour longer run time in a lot of tests still with half the battery.

I'm debating taking back my slight yellow-overcasted 1-dead pixel iPad3 and just going to get a Galaxy Tab 7.7 at this point.

The only issues I hear about th Galaxy Tab's screen is the low-brightness deal where the OLED gets a little weird, but I think I can handle it if it's not all yellow when bright and has dead pixels.. I'm not sure how pixels work on OLED but I never saw a OLED with a busted pixel.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rhester72:
Really? Come with me when I trade my two-day-old 7.7 in to Verizon for another because of a busted pixel. From what I've read, it's a very common OLED problem (at least with Samsung screens).

Rodney
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Diversion:
Well that sucks - I was hoping dead pixels wasn't too much of a outbreak on the 7.7.. I guess there's no hope for any displays these days.. The more pixels they cram into screens, the more room for fault widens.

Rodney,

How cool is Verizon about swapping your device out for another due to dead pixels?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] pikulu:
Can any one tell me how is the colour saturation on new ipad as apple says its 44% more increased?How is this compared to transformer prime and galaxy tab 10.1?Every reviewers are stating that the display on the new ipad is best, besides 7.7.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
If you live in an area near a Best Buy just go there and compare for yourself. Color saturation and other differences between screens are such subjective things that others' descriptions won't really address.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Diversion:
Apparently the iPad3 is near if not 100% sRGB color gamut.. the iPad2 had about 67% gamut. Apple is accurate in saying it has 44% more color saturation (easier thing to explain to people than using the word gamut).

This display could technically be used to show a real color representation.. If you're a lucky one with a good iPad3 panel (mine's not too bad, a little more yellow than i'd like) it truly is a stunning screen.

I don't have a 7.7 to compare with though, but i'm sure the 7.7's contrast smokes the iPad3.. but colors i'm not so sure about.. OLED tends to over-saturate.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] RipplingHurst:
I got both...colors on the 7.7 are cartoonishly fake, and think Lorax... The iPad 3 looks great, but much better than my calibrated viewsonic tn panel. I don't see any yellow tint. Did you see under the store's fluorescent lights maybe?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rhester72:
I'll let you know on Saturday. :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] babakmaham:
......and dont forget. There is very problems to run new hd games on 7.7,,,if you wanna have many of 3d hd new games...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
A lot of people are reporting this yellow tint and color spots on their screen which bothers me if Im going to get the Ipad3, Im waiting for the local retailer to have display units so I can see for my self.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gaugerer:
Not only does the iPad3 get "very very hot" according to some owners but also the battery charge level falls in use (see link) even though it is on charge which sucks.

http://www.howtoarena.com/the-new-ipad-is-hot/
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rhester72:
They didn't give me much of an issue with it (though it was damned hard to even point it out to them in the super-bright florescent store lighting). The following was part of the exchange:

- They told me that a _maximum_ of 3 exchanges for dead pixels is permitted (this I believe, even though I haven't seen it written anywhere)

- They told me that pixels failing well into the life of the product is a common problem with Samsung's OLED screens (this doesn't jive with my understanding of the underlying basic LED technology - the pixels are dead at the time of manufacture)

- They _suggested_ that the 2-year anything-happens-including-theft, you-get-a-new-unit replacement plan I paid for would probably negate the 3-exchange limit (I suppose if one deliberately drops their unit from a tall building, the failed pixel will not likely be noticeable through the cracked screen *laughs*)

All in all, they were fine with it, though it took ages for them to process the swap. Also be aware that by Verizon policy you must exchange/return EVERYTHING, including the original box, cord, and power brick, and the serial on the box MUST match the one on the unit. I have no idea how they'd handle the (rather common) case of someone having already thrown the box away...

7 good reasons for not buying the iPad:

http://www.vexite.com/2012/ipad-resolution-7-good-reasons-buying-upgrading/
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ziad218:
I have been using tab 7.0 for more than a year. Because I love the freedome of android and the coocked roms I bought tab 7.7 p8600 tast week. What I found annoying about it is the low-brightness screen, and one dead pixle which became visible only after the screen test ander this link. I got annoyed to finde a dead pixle so I tested my old tab 7.0 I found a dead pixle too which had been invisible to me more than a year. After this I said ok for the dead pixle in tab 7.7. However the 7.7's bightness is in no way as goog as 7.0's. When browsing the same web page on the two and both set to full brightness, the 7.7 doesn't have white color in the web page at all while the 7.0 has clear bright white color in the same page. I feel like the old 7.0 in the new and the new 7.7 is the old in terms of screen-white-color. The rest of colors are brighter and deeper in 7.7 than 7.0. The 7.7 screen size and the res 1200x800 and the portability are the best factors about 7,7. Another goods are 2M front camera and long life battery about 7.5h. I hope samsung is to improve the brightness in the coming screens but without dead pixles.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] alibukhamsin:
I've noticed that the wight in 7.7 is not bright at first, but after some search I found there's option to auto adjust the brightness to save battery. uncheck it and It will be brighter.

Go to: setting..>screen..>Auto adjust screen power (uncheck it).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] boelze:
Main reasons I chose the tab 7.7 over the new iPad:

1. Portability/form factor. The iPad wont fit in any pocket, therefore it's only useful at home.

2. I use my tablet mainly for surfing the web. iPad has no flash support so it's not useful for surfing to me.

3. Tab 7.7 has microSD slot wich is a must-have for any mobile device I buy. Using iTunes for transferring files is a pain in the a**.

4. Display is great on both devices although I like the deep, deep black on the super amoled plus a little more.

5. The 4:3 format of the iPad sucks when you want to watch videos on your device. (videos are almost the same size on both devices because of black bars on iPad :eek:)

I tried both tablets (tab 7.7 and iPad3) before buying, and I have to admit the iPad is the faster / more smooth tablet, but I can't go with all the contras just for having the slightly faster device.

This is just my personal oppinion, but maybe it'll help someone decide what to buy.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ziad218:
Thanks, I did it but the brightness of tab 7.7 is no way better than the tab 7.0.

I think it the problem of Super AMOLED + technology.
