Latest not aways greatest

The MK808B has all the features of the MK808 with a few improvements, better wifi and bluetooth. The MK808 gets better custom ROM support and firmware updates come faster for the MK808. Latest doesn't mean its necessarily better, firmware for the MK808/B (4.2.2) is about 30% slower than Finless ROM for the MK808/B. For a price point under $50 the MK808B is hard to beat. I recommend buying a $50 to $60 Android TV stick every 3 to 6 months. Uhost U1A, and MK802 are the best single core tv sticks but are now obsolete. In 6 months or less quad core tv sticks will be about $50 and all dual cores will be obsolete, and by then you'll have a better understanding of how a tv stick works best for you.

Gaming (think webcam enabled first person shooter- live)

XBMC (netflix, hulu+, redbox, crackle, hbo2go, youtube)

Smarter TV (use voice command to control android apps)

Replacing PC (just surfing web, why not on big screen hdtv)

Video phone (skype, sipdroid, groove ip)

Online college courses (video chat classroom)

All starting around $50!

Cheers for a well explained post, am off to buy the mk808b.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] DanCar2:
mk808 is perhaps the hottest on the market, but for the latest you should check out the new quad cores that recently started coming out.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] woina:
argh, i'm confused. thought the 802 IIIs is the latest and hottest... anyone got an comparison table?? :confused:
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] airdale:
I went with the 802IIIS because it is/was the latest....lol

Only getting my feet wet, looks more like what makes a device "hot" is the aftermarket support?

Im not sure I can figure out to root and play with all the new roms, so far the 802 has done what I needed it to.

Im sure the quad core will be hot, but which one will get all the aftermarket roms? your guess is as good as mine..

Hope that helps some?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] woina:
thanks for your answer, but i'm not sure if its better to buy the 808b or the 802 IIIs... all i want is a stable android stick with an working android market.

...support would be great, but i never used product service til today.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] airdale:
Well The IIIS seams very stable, no freezing, no lockups...I use it for streaming video from a sling box and its just fine....Market no problems either...

I just saw today another aftermarket rom was made for the IIIS, that's a good sign....

I don't have the confidence to root so the stock is working great in my world.

Good luck on your choice!!!

Just ordered the 809. Cant wait to get it and play :D
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] nikev215:
The Pipo M9 & Cube U30GT2 10" RockChip RK 3188 Tablets are shipping now, I fully expect RK 3188 TV sticks and boxes will follow soon afterwards, and it will be the RockChip RK 3188 devices that will be favorites for the custom ROM makers, why, because its the fastest quad system with the most potential for further development to come out of China to date, the one that aficionados have been waiting for.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] marvi0:
Have you got a link for these please.?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] marvi0:
Well in the end I went for mk809b. It's been shipped should be with me soon. Will give my thoughts when I have used

Hi

So i installed the Sony Music Unlimited on my Xperia S

But ut doesnt work in India..

Some error that the region is not supported..

How do i use it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] auni:
It means Music Unlimited service is not available in your region, so you can not use that service.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ameya23:
yaa, so is there anyway to make it available?

like faking the location or proxy?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] UchihaDareNial:
Nah you won't be able to fake it...just wait till' Music Unlimited available for your country....even MU is not available in my country,Malaysia

I am getting a tablet soon, and I am stuck between the galaxy note 10.1 and the galaxy note 8.0. I want the s pen functionality, but am worried that if I get the note 8 the space to use the s pen will be too small.Equally I'm not sure I want a tablet that is so big and clunky that I won't be able to carry it around at all. I don't like the capacitive buttons on the tab but I do like the dockbar in the is of the galaxy note 8.I like the the multitasking better on note 10.1 as it has more modes.Which do u think I should get?

Thanks plz reply
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ultramag69:
Mate, this comes down to what you want it for.... We can't make this decision for you.

You have the same information everyone else has .

I like the 10.1 inch screen, it is about the same size as a folder you might crry around if you were at highschool, I wish I had this then. Would've made life easier....

There are lot of students that use this tablet for school.

The pen is a nice feature and I like the larger space to use it however if you aren't going to be using this feature there are a lot of other less expensive alternatives around.

The Note 10.1 runs JB 4.1.2 at the moment which makes it a bit better than the ICS it was launched with. We have been chalked up (supposedly) to get updates to android 5.0 but anything after is uncertain.

I find it a good alround device with both work and play functionality. There are a heap of people complaining about the 1200 X 800 screen but this is actually comparable to most other tablets out there. I have no problem with it...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Tricky103:
The resolution on the 10.1 us it's biggest downfall, although it is fine it does look poor sometimes compared to my note 2 or s3.

Without seeing the note 8 I am not sure how functional multiview would be as I would never use it on the s3 or n2 but on the 10.1 it is the main reason for switching it on.

I would imagine that carrying an 8 inch tablet would be just as clunky as carrying a 10 inch in truth.

I am sure whatever you get you will be happy.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] tuktukscotty:
I have recently upgraded to the note 10.1 from my trustee tab 8.9. If they did the 8.9 with s pen and mem card slot there is no way I'd of gone for the 10.1. I think the size of the 8.9 is perfect (I am using it now) and nicer to hold when just surfing or Facebook etc. but do like having the note size when using the s pen/multi screen. I have not seen the new 8 inch but think it may feel bit too small for all the good features they have. I'd go for the note 10.1 myself.....

Its all about personal preference
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
This is a difficult question. It is a matter of tradeoffs. The resolution will definitely look better on the Note 8 running about 40 ppi higher. On the other hand the Note 10.1 has more real estate which is what we buy tablets for. An 8 inch tablet is actually quite a bit larger than a 7 inch tablet so don't use that as a measure. Still you will be fighting the "this is just a bigger phone" feeling.

I initially was all for the Note 8 and thinking it would kill the Note 10.1 because of speed, portability and ppi. It might but so much depends on pricing and how well you can take notes at 8 inches. I recently repurchased a Note 10.1 because I needed a note taking device and can't stand waiting FOR EVER for Samsung to actually release something in the US.

I'd say if you can wait wait. Compare the 2. if the Note 8 comes in around $300 the Note 10.1 will surely come down in price.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] rirawin:
what I found ridiculous is the price for the 8, you can easily get a new 10.1 for that and have some change.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] erica_renee:
Note 8 too small

I have the nexus7 as well as note 10.1 when I bought this note I really thought it would stay home because the nexus will fit in my smaller purse. I have came to love the 10 inch screen though yes it's quality is lower in resolution. So now I have one in my purse the other under my arm typing this in the van right now waiting at a apt. 8 inch note taking tab will still be a bit to small for true business /school use. Tethered to my phone for blue tooth calling I never get phone out of pocket. Awesome device. I have 32 gb wifi version.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] nunosm:
Another size matters discution...and it really does!

Just like my WRX Impreza...HPowers matters!!!!

Got the note for phone calls and the 10.1 for everything else...go for both. 8'' is too big for a phone and too small for a tablet!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dB Zac:
Like others have said. It is a peraonal decission. That being said, I find that even though 7" tablets are a more managable size for transport and eazier to hold one handed, they feel cropped when Web surfing. Web surfing is the #1 task I perform on my tablet. The 8 and 9" for factors may be that perfect mid line or a combination of the worst of the worst. Until I get a 8.9 in my hands I won't know
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ExploreMN:
I'm pretty confident that unless the price is stupid, I'll be getting it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] donec:
I have both the Note 2 and a Note 10.1 and the only complaint for either is the Note 10.1's resolution (which btw was not a complaint until I saw the Note 2). I have tried the Nexus 4 and 7 and found them to be less that either of my Notes.

With that said if you do not already have a Note 10.1 then you should really check out the Nexus 10. It has twice the resolution of the Note 10.1 and essentially the same real estate. What it does not have is the pressure sensitive s-pen or the advantages of TouchWiz. If you need to take notes there are some very good styluses out there.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] erica_renee:
Where are these good capacitive stylus. I have tried them all. All are crap. Only one usable is jot and it's not so great. If you need handwriting there is only one choice the note . choose your size wisely
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] donec:
What do you want to do with a stylus?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ExploreMN:
Does it matter? She is right. I've tried many of them with my other tablets and they all suck and are no better than a finger.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] erica_renee:
I own a intuos 4 professional drawing tablet for my pc. Once you have used one of those for drawing nothing else is good enough.

The jot pro is the best capacitive styles. But only for the first hour of its life. The disk are 6.00 each so I cost 6 dollars a hour to use and scratches your screen / screen protector.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] MikeRoz:
Are there any whispers of an update to the 10.1 this summer? The price for the 10.1 is nice, but I have this feeling I'll regret it in June or August...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] erica_renee:
The the note is awesome as it is now. Unless you have to have the latest version of the os. If you wanting a pen tablet that can get things done just buy it. The note 8 as talked about above might be worth waiting for if you want a smaller tab. With Samsung there is no truth to updates until you see the message on your machine there is a update. Same with most others.

Good luck

This: Although Samsung is yet to officially confirm its Android 5.0 schedule, a SamMobile source is claiming to know which phones and tablets will be getting the Key Lime Pie upgrade. According to the source, the devices set to receive the upgrade are the Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Note 8.0 and Galaxy Note 10.1.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Ketosh:
I have note 1 and note 10.1, this devices together works greate, i mean noteS, i think You should thinka about what smartfone do U have, if U have big screen phone like 5,5'' You dont need note 8, or if U have small screen U can buy note 8 but if i must buy second time i will chose note 10.1

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] donec:
I also have tried many styluses including the Jot Classic, the Jot Pro, and many of the rubber and cloth tipped styluses. I have found that some are better than others for some things. I have a very cheap "Mini Suit" that works very well, much better than the Jots for writing (not as well as the s-pen though) and feels very nice when used. I have an "Isound.net" brush stylus that makes painting with it feel more like working with an actual brush. This is why I ask what they want to use the stylus for as it does make a difference.

I had an Intuos 3 and 4. I agree there is nothing like them. With that said setting them up just to do a quick sketch or working away from your studio is a pain with them. Now we have the Note 10.1 and the Note 2 for such things and the software for them is improving daily. I disagree that the Jot is the best capacitive stylus. It is quite unreliable and does not feel like any pen or brush you would use in real life for writing or painting. Let alone the expense.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] erica_renee:
I totally agree with you. the jot is miserable... But its the best of the rest.. i Did not say it was actually good or worth buying. as i said it works Ok for the first hour or so then its disk change time..

Yesterday my note stylus stopped working. Samsung is sending me a new one after a hour with there tech support trying to tell me to reset my tablet.. So im going to buy a wacom feel stylus i think. Its gotta be even better then the one that fits in the note.I so wish my wacom stylus with tilt would work on the note. But i do think the cpu and ram is not enough to use the advanced brush features of that. using that on my win machine on a ssd drive and 16 gb ram with photo shop can get some lag from time to time switching tools..

thanks for the reply..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jappy01:
if i was in your shoes, i would still get the Note 10.1. Note 8 may be newer, but nothing beats having a bigger screen like that of the Note 10.1.

i can always bring a smaller phone like S3 or Nexus 4 if I want portability. if price will be fair for the Note 8, i might still get that even if i already have the 10.1. =)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] caaznkid:
I'd get the Note 10.1, cause I been seeing it everywhere on slickdeals between 300-340 refurbished which is an AMAZING price. I don't see a huge upgrade between the 10.1 and the 8. They're both TFT screens...the processor is mildly better...same amount of RAM...speakers on Note 10.1 should be better because they're front facing. The only thing I'd buy is the next revision of the Note 10.1 which hopefully has a better resolution and an IPS screen at least. UNLESS, you plan taking notes primarily while carrying the tablet around and will never be at desk or table...then I'd go with the 8. The 10.1in gets a little heavy after a while to hold in the air and take notes with. It ain't exactly a clipboard lol.

Agreed. I tried my lovely 10.1 for my job in the field and it is just too big and heavy. I reverted back to the trusty ancient HTC Evo View because of the 7 inch size and digital pen. It is slow and runs Honeycomb...but it's not like there were any other tablets out there with a pen.

I ordered the 8.0 from Amazon last night and can't wait.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hoss_n2:
Note 10.1 already uses Samsung own PLS screen which is based on IPS technology but proved to be better than normal ips screens
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] tenderidol:
I played with a Note 8 today, and it's a great looking tablet! I felt like I was holding an enlarged Note II, though. The shape, buttons, interface, etc., etc. My wife has a Note II, so, Note 8 really reminded me that phone. The screen was superb, but I dont get the "default" portrait orientation for a tablet. For instance, if you hold it in landscape mode, your thumb/fingers will be covering the sensors on top, and you may hit the buttons on the right side by accident.

This could be a good tablet for some, but for our setup (Note II + Note 10.1), it's too close to both ends to justify it.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kkretch:
You can get the note 10.1 for almost the same price as the 8 right now and I can't believe they did not put 2 forward stereo speakers on the note 8.

That's a deal breaker for me.

.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ExploreMN:
It's not a deal breaker for me, but I do like the front speakers and design of the 10.1 over the 8. Not sure why they didn't go with a winner in form and instead opted for the familiarity of the Galaxy S III/4 line.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kkretch:
The price is not good either, $399.00 is to much. People will buy that %&@! piece of &%*# iPad mini for $329.00 and think they got a deal, the only one there getting a deal is Apple selling old outdated devices for premium prices.

.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ExploreMN:
I'm actually okay with the price. It's the right size, has about 98% of the features I want in a tablet, and compared to other devices priced similar, it seems to smoke them. I'm not one to believe that screen size=price and therefore a smaller screen = lower price. Hell, if I could find a tablet with the last 2% of things I want, I would have no problem paying $499 for it. On the flip side, I think any tablet going above $500-600 is idiotic and I would never buy something like the iPad 128GB and others like it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kkretch:
What are the things that make up that 2%?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] terryowen:
I'd be interested in that 2% also, since I'm considering buying the Note 8.0.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Snow755:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Bruh-Man:
I own a note 10.1, and my wife owns a tab 8.9. I bought the note 8.0 for her the other day and she absolutely loves it. she is especially loves the fact that it's a little bit smaller than the 8.9 because it's easier to handle.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] johnnyvol:
I picked up the Note 8 earlier this week and have been using it for all the things I was using my Nexus 7 for. I bought the Nexus 7 to replace my GTab 10.1. I was interested in the Note 8 because I have the Note 2 and thought a tab the size of the Nexus 7 with external memory and stylus like my Note 2 would be just about right. So far I have been very pleased.

It feels just as sturdy as my Nexus 7, especially since the 7 has the screen lift on one side. External memory is something I will never go without again. Also, I use Square as a payment solution and the card reader doesn't work with the Nexus 7 due to the headset jack but it works just fine on the 8. The only complaint I have is it's white. I've never had a phone or tablet in white and just can't get used to it.

All in all I'm glad I got the Note 8, I'll be selling my Nexus 7 soon.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ExploreMN:
Not a very accurate comparison. For example, it says the 10.1 only supports 32gb microsd...I have a 64gb working without issue or special work-around. It also indicates the 10.1 doesn't support 5ghz wiresless but the 8.0 does. Well, my 10.1 is attached to my 5ghz right now and always has been. Makes one wonder how many other specs they F-ed up in their comparison...
