Thank you Barry, greatly appreciated.

Re politeness ~ I am but a gentleman who knows manners maketh man. I also know respect is only earned and not as an act of expectancy. We all must act respectably in order to receive the benefits.

That and a good smile does wonders to my patients :)

Re the connection ~ I will look into this in more detail later.

I have heard of TabTalk but never took a direct interest in the App.

However, after Barry passed on the use of his Tablet as a comms device it has raised my interest somewhat.

I'll also look into TabTalk as well thank you.

My infinity got messed up today and I'm square trading it. I'm pretty sure they will reemburse me and not fix it. Now I'm left with the decision if I should get another infinity or if I should get the note 10.1. I do love the HD on the infinity and the keyboard is useful only when I'm in class taking notes (and for extra battery) but I could deal with using the samsung keyboard dock when I'm in class. I really don't know which to get. lol
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
It would be great having you here. I remember you from both the i9100 forum and your issues with the $10 data plan on the i9300. The only downside, and I do mean only, is the PPI of the display. And that's really only noticeable on text. That and HDMI out if it matters but you can get the AllShare Dongle (which works with the SGS3) or an adapter so that's a financial issue not a technical one. The only other thing you might miss is Teg specific games. Exynos Quad performs here just like it does on your SGS3 with the benefit of additional RAM. Happy deciding.

:)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nakel:
Two things:

First, check out a Note 10.1 at a store before you buy. Make sure you're OK with the screen. Personally, I find the difference barely noticeable. But some people notice it to varying extents.

Second: Be aware that there is no US keyboard dock for the Note 10.1 yet. Samsung is doing a horrible job of getting accessories out.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] astrocowboy:
There is no keyboard dock available for the Note 10.1. I currently reside in Korea. There is no dock available here either.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
The dock is available here. Thank the people from this thread.

Hopefully they'll come out with a BT keyboard case like the OG 10.1 had. It was thin, light, and actually a good case at the same time.

The desktop dock is weighted to prop up the device so it's heavy and not very portable. The Note's Book Cover case is really thin and light. You might be better off going with that and picking up one of these. A couple of my friends have it. It's the Sony Tablet S keyboard and it's small and supports all the Android functions.

So I was able to bring my infinity back to life but went out today and got the note 10.1 I haven't played with it yet except holding it (I'm on my way home) and it definitely feels better in the hand than the infinity. I just got fed up with the lag in the infinity even after the jb update. After playing with the note I'm going to decide which to keep. If I like the infinity better I will return the note and if I like the note better my infinity is going to take a nasty spill down the stairs and claim it with square trade.. I can't help if my infinity has suicidal tendencies hahha

edit: ok.. I love this thing.. I thought the keyboard on the infinity was productive but snote is pretty impressive. My infinity sucked at taking calculus notes on the formula thing in note is awesome. I'm really impressed... yeah you do notice the screen isn't as nice but with everything else that's good about it that doesnt really matter. Although I have to exchange mine :( I noticed it has a pretty bad backlight bleed in the top left towards the center.. But other than that It's awesome! Although I cant get some of the spen shortcuts working that I read like tapping the screen and holding the button bringing up snote. Or holding the button and going down the screen to go to home. I can only get the button/press screen shot working.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] junrider:
Make sure you scan for updates. There is a new firmware out for note if you just bought it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] blackhand1001:
Big issue is that touchwiz is laggy as crap on the note and the exynos has terrible GPU drivers. It doesn't have real project butter like the omap, tegra 3, and now the snapdragon has.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] erica_renee:
Not this note. There is nothing lagging at all.there however is game compatibility issues. Guessing due to being a new CPU..the sdk and documentation for CPU is now being released to developers. But with that said the real life productive work is much better on this then any other.

Games or useful business grade solid built. No screen loose issues.

Keep the nexus 7 this is faster and not yet on 4.2.

My opinion former nexus 7 owner
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] brett_day:
Really??? I have zero lag on my note 10.1 with tw. Runs great.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
Don't get me wrong, I love tegra3. I used to have a prime and I currently have 2 Nexus 7's also in addition to my Note 10.1. JB is butter on the 7's. But I feel the same about my Note 10.1 also. I came into this thinking touchwiz would be horrible. I couldn't have been more wrong. Everything is fast and fluid on my Noteb10.1. No lag at all. Plus the Exynos quad core performs excellent. Never any issues whether playing graphic intense 3d games or heavy web browsing or streaming/playing videos. This tablet has no problems running whatever I throw at it. This is my first Samsungtablet. It has more than exceeded my expectations. Samsung did a great job on the note. I originally was going for infinity pad. But too many similar issues plagued it like alot of prime owners had. I was too impressed and satisfied with Note to warrant exchanging it for infinity pad. I still have prime dock, which would've worked with infinity pad. It still wasn't enough to make me want to return my Note.

I've always promoted Tegra3, as I feel its a great SoC. But to say Exynos 4 quadcore and its mali500(I believe) gpu is a slouch is an understatement. It performs just as good as my tegra3 devices. Batter life even better on Exynos.

Like I've always said though, the 3 best tabs on the market now is Nexus 7, Note 10.1, and Infinity Pad. I really wanted an infinity pad but figured to try something different. Very glad and happy I stuck with Note 10.1.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Grant H:
Negative! Do you own one? I do and it doesn't lag on anything let alone touchwiz... You want lag go and buy a TF700T. I know this having just came from one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Definitus:
I was forced to buy Note and I'm happy

Initially,my intention was to buy Infinity but than something happened......

The price of Infinity in Portugal is €619, Note 10.1 (3G version) is a little higher €699. But 3 weeks ago, was the anniversary of Samsung in Portugal and they cut the price of some top-materials with equivalent percentage of the years (30). So, I bought Note 10.1 by €480.

Do I had another chance????

This piece of technology is something.....:good:;):highfive::victory::)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] blackhand1001:
Software update must have improved it. The one at my local best buy lags like crazy.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
Thats not correct that Samsung lags behind bec of touch wiz i am using Note and I can say it can handle everything you can throw at it and even more, even in the benchmarks it leaves all others tabs far behind even the nexus 7 by a long way which btw is running jb which is faster then ICS.

Yes there are some issues with multscreen but I believe that is because of the OS.

Infinity has quality issues which we all know there was one comaprision i was watching on youtube which was coparing note and infinity and the infinity screen had issues on the demo piece.

Only advantage infinity has it has a better screen on paper not doubt its better but not worlds apart
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Ce:
I doubt you know what you are talking about with the Note 10.1

My Note runs smooth, no lag or stutter. "Project Butter" is Jelly Bean and the Note doesn't have Jelly bean yet (probably in a few weeks) Project Butter is a Google OS 4.1 mod and not a specific processor mod. For example the Note 2 already has Jelly bean.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] fella1:
Nope the note was lag free before any software updates. You cant truly judge a tablet based on a store model. Too many people have handled it and could have done something to it . I've had my note for almost 2 months now and it has extremely smooth the whole time. I also have a nexus 7 and i dont notice a drop in smoothness when going from one tab to the other
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] DeerChaser:
I purchased a Nexus 7, ran great for the most part but too small. Sold that for a TF700, very laggy, hand covered the speaker! Took that back for the Note, no problems here. Very happy with with the 8013, the sound from this thing is awesome.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mi7chy:
Wrong. Performance and stability are the pros of Galaxy Note 10.1 and even better than my Nexus 7. If I could find any reason to fault it it would be the minor UI quirks but that will be improved with future updates and JB release.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
I have never used Nexus7 so I cannot comment on that but I know for sure in benchmarks it is no match for note, also i do not find any lags with touch wiz I may not like it but for that matter I do not like most of them but thats the matter of prefrence and none of them are perfect. Also touch wiz has lots of things built on it so naturally the more bigger in the size the more system resources it will utilze but that said and done I have games like Batman, Mass Infilitrator, Asphalt 6 and I have opened two of them at the same time and they still work perfectly fine
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
You can't effectively judge a product that has been a display model and abused by the masses at BB.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] blackhand1001:
To be honest it was probably just the touhwiz launcher. I remember when I switched to nova or apex on the galaxy tab 2 7.0 it was very smooth.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] surge27:
IMO, it's all about personal preference.

Both have great processors. TF700 is probably better for gaming but Note seems to be snappier. Speakers are louder on the Note. The S-Pen is really nice but I would never use it. Camera is better on the TF but not sure why people would like to take pics with a tab.

I own an Infinity. Overall... the HD screen, build quality, and mostly stock Android UI were the major factors in my decision.

No knock on the Note though. I underestimated the build quality and TW is much better on it than previous versions. Wish I could have both lol
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] DARK SIDE:
Better screen resolution and brightnes on tf700 and up to 8% stronger cpu on GN 10.1. Better case on tf700...But tf700 have issue with gorilla glass 2 cracking under dock preasure..

From my point of view i think GN10.1 is better choise..I don't like gorilla glass issue on tf700..

Sent from Asus infinity tablet
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] blackhand1001:
Gorilla glass 2 seems to be crappier than the original. They should have kept it the same thickness with the stronger material.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] graffixnyc:
I'm really loving the note.. I was updating apps on both my note 10.1 and my infinity. While the apps were downloading and installing my Infinity has this horrible horrible lag. The note didn't lag at all while doing the same thing. Yes, the screen is much nicer on the infinity but IMO that's all it has above the note 10.1

Whoever said Asus has good build quaility doesn't know anything in all due respect.

I have owned a TF101, a TF201, the infinity and the nexus 7. The TF101 had to be replaced by asus 3 times because of shotty build quality. Also all 3 units I had, had blacklight bleeding to some extent.. So I upgrade to the prime.. what a POS that was! that also had to be replaced twice. Once for 5 dead pixels and backlight bleedind that got worse when you just held the tablet normally on the sides. Even my N7 has a bit..

Exchanged that at BB and got the infinity. Still had some backlight bleeding but by this time I have come to accept that this is just a "feature" of asus tablets. hahaha And since I have had a bunch of them and I have never seen one(mine or a friend's) that didn't have backlight bleeding to some extent. Even if it was just a small spot

I really loved the infinity(it's a sexy looking device) but the lag was killing me.. Maybe times I wanted to throw that tablet against the wall especially when I was trying to do stuff on it while it was downloading apps. I thought it might get better with JB but it really didn't. It got a bit smoother but still very laggy. this is because of the internal memory chip(or so I have read) being a POS.

I do not think the note feels cheap at all because it's plastic. It actually looks less fragile than the infinity. I really like the way the note 10.1 feels in the hand.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
That pretty much sums it up. Somewhere god knows how many pages back there's a comparison of the internal components. There's not a single component that's either equal in spec or sourced from a first-tier supplier in the TF700. Even the FHD display is made by HannStar. The single best feature of the Note is reliability. Everything just works and exactly the same way each time.

There are a lot of ex-Asus tablet owners here. You're going to have a pretty hard time selling "build quality." Aluminum feeling more premium than plastic you can probably sell.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] junrider:
The aluminum might look nice, but the note feels better on hands. Wonder which dents easier? If you compare the tablets by itself the only thing nice about the Infinity is the FHD.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jjdevega:
I love my Infinity.

I also love my Seattle Seahawks beating the Patriots today! It was even better seeing it first hand.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] situman:
Replaced my TF Prime with the note 10.1 and loved it. It's just works great. Devs for the Prime has tried like crazy to make it work as it should but I just got so tired of the lag and FCs. I would rather have Asus ditch the aluminum and use the savings towards better components. Yes I do wish the note has a better screen but that's a minor tradeoff for better performance and reliability. And I realized I'm probably never going to use the pen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] christoophat:
Having decided to get a tab versus (yet another ) laptop, I spent my weekend reading thru this great thread, and ended up ordering a Note yesterday after all the great comments made by owners. I avidly do not drink the i-aid, and after enjoying both of our Kang'd Nook Colors, I'm looking forward to using a bigger faster tab.and trying out some ROMs in due time.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] wer11:
I have asus tf700 (infinity) its too slow in games because of resolution(1080p). I think high resolution is disadvantage If you're not having a good processor. Galaxy note 10.1 is well :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] balabala123:
good thread， and good video review Youtube
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] chamberc:
Having replaced the TF201 with a Note, I can say there is no comparison. Asus build quality is sub-par and the Note is far smoother... I'd never purchase another Asus product based on our experiences having bought two tf201's in November 2011.

The biggest difference is support... Asus has none, and simply pushes update after update making problems progressively worse- not to mention their deceptive marketing (GPS on box, no GPS functionality in device).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] rap6388:
The Hits just keep on coming

I find this debate very interesting, the Note 10.1 vs Asus. I see it as a no brainer. I had a tf201- that was crap. Was lucky enough to exchange at best buy for a 700, which was better but still crap. Yet, I was lucky enough to be able to exchange the 700 for the Samsung. Is it butter? No, but damn close. If you really want a comparison. Look through this forum and see what in reality are minor gripes that people post about. Really, there is nothing to get that worked up about. Just improvements we would all like to see. Now go over to the ASUS 700 forum and look at what they are complaining about. Even after JB it is a major fail. People who's device still do not work and looking for a way to scramble and downgrade back to ICS that did not work either but better than JB.

I tried. I wanted ASUS devices to be good but they are not and they have a long way to go. The Samsung is great. Perfect? No, but a hell of lot closer than the 700 is or ever will be.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
The thing that's so strange about Asus tablets are how different individual experiences are. Light users are the happiest. People that have a lot of syncs, multiple processes running at the same time, and use concurrent wireless are the ones that have the most issues because any time those things hit memory while something else is going on will measurably kill performance. The standard answer when heavy users complain is "it must be hardware, exchange it." It's not individual hardware issues; they all act the same. It's just that those that are happy either choose to ignore it or don't put a lot of stress on their tablet. All the lag, force closes, and application not responding errors in GB, ICS, and now JB are caused by IO bottlenecks which themselves are caused by the cheap NAND solution Asus uses. And nothing’s going to change that.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
not entirely true . im a heavy user and didnt experience most i/O issues posted with prime. but i do see what you saying. likewise my N7 runs as fast and as stable as my note 10.1. no gaming issues, lag or anything . handles multitasking and things syncing in the background wirh no problem. of course note is better at multitasking since it has 2gb of ram. just like my SG3.

with that said, i love the performance of my N7 and Note 10.1. no issues with either. both devices very stable for me out the box .
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Here's my example of heavy. I have four e-mail accounts all set up for push and to download all messages including attachements. In a day, I can receive 200+ e-mails. At the same time I'm syncing social feeds, stock feeds, airline flight status, news, and weather either hourly or on a push basis. I also frequently move big files over Wi-Fi between my work and home servers while I'm editing or creating documents. At the same time I could be outputting audio via BT speakers. That's a ton of background processes. And background processes hitting memory while other stuff is going in is what chokes Asus' NAND solution. So you could be melting the SoC gaming and that wouldn't create the issue people are experiencing. One or two big things running concurrently is much easier for Asus' NAND solution to handle than half a dozen little things.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jetbruceli:
Guys I really am enjoying this note but the only thing that makes want an infinity or my old prime, is the t3. I know its not faster but it does have the games that u can not get on anything else.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
That's what I have my Nexus 7 for ;) Tegra3 goodness. I will say that that new game called Death Dome, has graphics on par with tegra3 games. I have it on my Sg3, Nexus7, and Note 10.1. Tegra3 games will normally always have the edge but more Android developers are now using The Unity graphics engine. Which translate to games on par with tegra3 and Infinity ablade quality graphics. Death Dome is a really good game and its free.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ruckuss:
Everywhere you go for info on the note you alway see TF700 VS. Note 10.1. Topic is being beaten to death.

I had the TF201.. no issues really, wifi wasn't that great, but, dealt with it. I didn't have many crashing issues that other have reported. I loved the sleek look and feel of the TF201, I also loved the keyboard dock.. I really wanted a tablet with a stylus, so I bought the Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet a year ago.. what a mess that was.. it was HORRIBLE! got rid of it for the Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1. I was unimpressed with no ports available and the laggy TW interface. So got the TF201. I just sold that a couple months ago and got the Note 10.1.. again, just because of the stylus. I was a little hesitant because I didn't like TW on the old Samsung tablet nor did I like it on the GS2... just seemed laggy. I figured that this was a minor issues, can always flash roms.. so picked up the note. I am 100% happy... this beast is running stock and its great! I love the stylus for note taking and quick flowcharting and network diagrams. I do however miss the keyboard dock.. I wish I could have them both.

My buddy bought the TF700 and he returned it 3 times, finally just got it refunded.. he is waiting on the ipad mini. his crashed like a mofo.. I saw it do 3 reboots just from browsing the net with the stock broswer... I feel that he just got a crappy unit and could have gotten another, but, he was just to fed up... I agree with him.. when you pay $500 for a high end device, it should just work out of the box..

Sometimes I think of selling the note 10.1 for the TF700 just for the keyboard dock and the screen.. I can definitly notice the lower screen quality on the Samsung... not a deal breaker, but, a little disappointing.

Anyway... like everyone else said before me.. its all depends on what you will use it for and how heavily you will use it. If you like to do emails and documents on the tablet, then I would get the TF700 as the keyboard is much better than typing on the soft keyboard, I love the extra battery and the USB ports on the TF700 with keyboard dock.

Samsungs is plastic, but, the build quality is great. That being said, I still perfer the feel of the TF700 compared to my Note 10.1

If your really on the fence, I suggest getting them both and testing them for a week, return the one that you don't like. I don't believe that playing with demo units at a local BB for 30 minutes is good enough to base your decision on.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] gmfeny:
Lol that was enough for me... I had the tf700 for over a month and went to best buy to play with the note 10.1 and fell in love... I ended up trading my tf700 for a note 10.1 and couldn't be happier. The lower res screen didn't bother me as much as i thought it would BC the colors look so nice on the note. But there's a big speed difference. I do miss all the development tho. There's not much going on in this section. The infinity had so many ROMs for a new device.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] crystalstylez:
That's mainly because it's not really needed at this time. This tablet runs smooth out of the box. No tweaking needed like the prime/infinity. I also did not have to disable anything via Titanium. That's a first.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hoss_n2:
Also it is a less than 2 month old device allot haven,t got it yet ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] junrider:
There is definitely alot of noise in the TF700 forum. Im glad I dont have to worry about playing Russian roulette on the updates Asus releases. Another reason why I am glad I jumped ship to the note.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ultramag69:
I think the other reason there's not much developement is JB has been rumoured to be released soon... Why would you kill yourself developing for ICS and a day or 2 after you release JB comes out...

Until JB drops I honestly don't see much more developement as it is fairly good out of the box...
