Buy the A100, yes or no?

1saleaday is selling it on today's flash sale for $170. I'm fine with the price, but I'm wondering if it's a good tablet? I'll probably be using it more for reading, internet browsing, watching movies while traveling, maybe very very light gaming. I'm comfortable flashing recoveries/rom's, using ADB, etc. But is it a decent daily tablet?

I love it go for it cost is very nice ...

Depends on you, really. For me its great, but less then great battery life and 1 bad viewing angle may make it unbearable for you. Me, I just learned my way around it. Only real flaws I'd give it in general, not counting defects. Wifi is a little on the weak side as well.

$170 is a steal for a GREAT ice cre sandwich tablet with minimal flaws. Much better than the kindle Fire, has FULL android (play store, google apps)...has hdmi (great for tv hookup and a good tegra 2 processor for gaming I would say go for it, it's one of the best tablets for the price

Awesome and welcome. Don't expect iPad build quality, but the g9 is actually very durable, my 5 yo son destroys his and it keeps ticking. I am using the 80 as I like the 8 inch size. Let us know how the 10“ works.

It arrived this morning, all working great. Having read a bunch of reviews slating it for tacky build quality, poor camera, etc, I wasn't put off. Those reviews were just picky. It's actually quite solidly built, and very fast. Not bothered about the camera, I have a real digital camera for photos, and my mobile phone as backup. Why would I want to lug my tablet around to take pictures? Bizarre. They could have quite happily left the camera off for all I care.
But anyway, like I said, the 101 G9 Turbo ICS is great! Screen is awesome, apps look brilliant on it.

In the process of getting either the Samsung, Acer or Asus. I really want the pad phone. But I can get the transformer for half the price. And I can get an Acer 500 or Sammy 10" for even swap of my iPhone 4.

Because I want a 10" screen, that's why. I may totally jump on the nexus 7 if they are priced good here. But not before a new bigger device. I have been waiting for any information on the g10x but none seems to be around besides the initial release video and hoopla this spring. I wish Archie would give extra info on release date and specs.

OT. Help me pick a tablet.

Hi all. It's not often that I start a thread around here. Feel free to keep this going for other people looking to spend their gift cards.
So I am between 2 tabs: Nexus 7 and Galaxy 2 7.0.
From what I'm reading, it looks like the specs are a little better on the Nexus but it's really hard to be a deal I found on a refurb Galaxy tab on Amazon ($170).
The lack of expandable storage and HDMI concern me a little with the Nexus but all reports seen to indicate that it's just an incredible device. Plus if I get the Galaxy tab i kind of feel like I'm just getting a bigger version of this phone.... though it does have official cm support.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your help with my 1st world problem.

I picked myself up a galaxy 2 7.0 refurb and I'm liking it. Just fyi, look at walmart online because they have it for $150 refurbish. Just check everyday because they restock often. I was thinking about the nexus 7 but two thing hold me off on it: the lift screen problem and the price.

What is the lift screen issue?

What are your thoughts on only having 16gb? I would plan on having a couple bigger games on it but wouldn't carry music or many movies.

You can pick up a moto Xoom for $219 on N1 wireless XD it has 32 GB of storage plus an SD card slot and a 10.1 inch display

Can't help with those choices but I have to gloat a bit...got an ASUS TF700 with the keyboard and am loving it!

I have the 7.0 plus tab and I love it. I bought my dad the nexus 7 16 gig and having played with it its a top notch device. If I were to buy a device from your choices I would pick the nexus but I would get the 32 gig one. I just believe you can never have enough memory. But I do love having an memory card and it makes everything so much easier. You can't go wrong with either device. I think it comes down to personal preference.

Note 10.1 hands down its just like the phone

Galaxy note 10 since it has mulitwindow

I jist got 2 galaxy tab 2 10.1 for me and my oldest son for xmas. I have to say its a great tab for the money I like it alot better than my nexus 7 due to size and my moms nexus 10 which is the same size but is missing a few features in lieu of bigger proc and ram. Which on the tablet you dont notice really since theres not a lot of phone related stuff running in the background. They also have sd slots for expansion

It's just my personal experience. I had the Tab 2 7.0 for about 5 months and now I have the nexus 7 since day 1. I have it mainly for the kids whether playing games or watching movies. I rarely use it for some reading and browsing.
I have to say there is no comparison. Nexus 7 is a LOT better. The screen is way better whether the specs, visibility, brightness or the dirt and finger print collection. Also, the speed and responsiveness. It is a lot faster and the touch is more accurate and responsive.
The tab 2 is better in terms of extra hardware. A microSD slot, a back camera and an HDMI port. So, if you can get past these, you have to get the Nexus.
I have 4 tablets now (well, the HP is now broken) and I never used the back camera except for testing purposes. Another thing is I never ran out of space. Of course this is very subjective. You can have a couple of 2GB games and that would clutter the space. Also, I have a Google TV and a Wii and they are my entertainment center (though not something to brag about).
So, for me, I would say: Definitely go with the nexus.
I never used a Motorola product, so I don't know anything about it. I just like the 7 inches size better than the 10 inches. It is lighter, easier to handle and the battery usually lasts better.
Hope this helps...

My gt2 10.1 is lighter than my kindle fire and barely different from my nexus 7. Having gps on it is nice tho makes turn by turn easy as hell to use while driving since I dont have to strain to see it. Plus the IR blaster is great my tablet now controls my tv, pc and satellite set top box. I dont use my nexus 7 much anymore between my note 2 and gt2 its become obsolete.

The Nexus 7 without a doubt. I have the 16GB version and I love it. I have used other tablets (Herotab C8, Asus TF 101) and have handled many others, and without a doubt the Nexus 7 is without a doubt the best I have used. Clean, easy to modify, and most of the development work is pretty stable. It is by far the best one going.

Thanks everyone. I just ordered the nexus 7 32gb from Amazon for $240 including a case. Now is a good time to buy.
Decided that hardware and probably 2 years of updates was most important. Can't wait to play Vice City on this thing!

Great thread. Im looking for a tablet. Nexus 7 looks like the best. I just bought the kids 2 cheap Iview 7 in 4.04 tabs. 1.2ghz There great for a 2 and 4 year old Lol. They came pre rooted! Yes my toddler has a rooted overclocked tab!! As I used them a bit a 7 in tablet is perfect. 10 inch tabs are big and midas well get laptop out. 7 inch tabs fit in back pocket. Let us know how you like the nexus.

I would recommend the MOGA Pro. It is natively supported in many games and emulators available on the Play Store.

I just bought the Sony DualShock 3 Wireless Controller and it works like a charm with my new Nexus 7 2013 running Android 4.3 JSS15Q
Do note that you will need a third party app, Six Axis Controller, to make it work wirelessly over bluetooth!
I am enjoying Shadowgun, Dead Trigger and Riptide GP2 flawlessly with my Wireless PS3 DualShock 3 controller
The same controller also works perfectly with my Nexus 4!

Gamepad for nexus 5

hi
i want to buy a gamepad for my nexus 5. I have no idea about these gamepads. i want to buy the gamepad which can hold the nexus 5 like that nvidia shield. please suggest me

I got the MOGA PowerPro and it works perfectly. It was a bit expensive at $80.

Generic Gamepads work. if not, just install Sixaxis and try again. I use a Generic Gamepad for playing PSP Games (thru emulators).

+1 for the Moga. Coolest thing ever.
