I almost bought this tab, but then i tried a asus..., actually using it
wheile im doing poop right now , usb port is used for flash drives
keyboard, etc, i chose to get the asus since i liked it alot better, and
ilkke the home buttons on the asus more... just fyi before buyjng , there
is known issue with wifi on a500. Which will randomly disconnect/connect,
dunno if fixed but can be a issue downthe road for some. But nonethe less
theres better deals for this tab then asus, have fun
@FringeDivisionNY Yes, you will be able to do work. It will take getting
used to, however android tablets in general are very good about supporting
formats. Your Itunes AAC files will play on this tablet no problem. The
only hiccup is that you cannot sync this device with the actual itunes
software. You must actually drag and drop your music directly from the file
home into the device's music folder.
@ExclusiveBrad plus a phone has a useful extra feature: a phone! Tabs
should be equipped with 3G so you can use it anywhere. Wifi is faster but I
hate having to be searching, yarrr, for a Wifi connection! And me thinks a
dock is a very useful extra, more power, less fingerprints and you won't
have to lay your tab flat on a table but have it standing upright for a
better view.
@BainanuIon Shit. My phone has a qwerty keyboard. But when am I going to
write an essay on the go? I wont draft on the go either, nor illustrate,
nor watch movies, nor read books. My phone can have a total of 8GB of local
storage, and up to 32 on a micro SD card. Not to mention my phone can run
any Android program the tablet can run.
@ExclusiveBrad I'm getting at the fact that tablets are not meant to
replace phones. They are an alternative to laptops and netbooks. They have
for more uses than smart phones. They are realistic and convenient. Thats
why the market for them is so large. Would you prefer to play minecraft on
your cell phone or a tablet? ;)
@ExclusiveBrad And i can write an essay and take notes on my cell phone
because i'm a student, draft on it because i'm an engineer, illustrate it
because i'm an illustrator, watch movies on that amazing screen, read books
on it and store up to 250 gb onto the local storage drive. Such a
convenient little phone.
@Pendragon1989 True, but products from rent to own stores are marked up
much higher than MSRP, which is essentially like you're paying a 30%-50%
interest rate just to own it. Reason why i'm saying this is because you're
better off purchasing this with a credit card.
@TheQc72 Well this sounds silly but. I put 80 dollars down to take the
tablet home. Which is not bad.. but since they let you do that, it ends up
costing more.. but in return you can have it while still paying it. It's
like a rent to own program.
@BainanuIon Well, I can't stick a tablet in my pocket, and I don't carry
around bags. My phone doesn't have the processing power (tbh the tablet
doesn't either), or the graphics capabilities. So I choose to not play
minecraft in that situation.
It used to be just the iPad, now there are so many Android based tablets to
choose from. I really want a tablet for traveling and leaning toward a
Android based one, but the decision on which one to purchase is now more
difficult.
hi there, can you tell how to take good videos with this tablet. I've taken
some videos with this tablet and they came out fuzzie. So my question is
how to focus when taking videos?
And for those of you wondering, this is great tablet, you don't need a
freakin quad core Asus Transformer.. I havent found a game this tablet
won't play.
Not at all........ I just got this phone..... Spent 2 weeks..... Totally
awesome phone. All hd games are available, and it's the beast of
multitasking! The screen (Super Clear LCD) has decent black, full 180
degree viewing angle (at about 35% brightness) and has got awesome sunlight
visibility! I just installed a decent scratch protector and the screen
hasn't even got a scratch! (Currently finished Asphalt 6, 921 points in
Fruit Ninja THD Arcade, and playing the newly released Temple Run Game)
Both Samsung Galaxy R & Lg Optimus 2x is now available for 20k so many
people are confused over which one to pick? Personally I'd pick Lg O2X coz
it has a better 8MP Camera & Records Video @ 1080p. Also, Lg O2X has Micro
HDMI port which is missing in SGR & the IPS Display of O2X is very bright &
Vivid compared to the pale looking SLCD of SGR. I'd urge iGyaan to update
their O2X phone with official GB & upload a comparison video between SGR &
O2X so that visitors will be able make right choice.
This Phone isn't worth. iGyan must do his homework before saying a word in
review video. Even though the Cyanogenmod mod are officially with samsung,
there's no CUSTOM ROM support for this rom, not even support from
communities other than CM. Ob the other hand LG O2X has everything better
than this phone. Also O2X has alot of custom rom support all over. Screw
the 1gb ram, it's just pointless and a gimmick for a smart phone market.
@Rockeymaru Galaxy S Plus is good phone, Galaxy R would do no
better.Overall performance of both the devices is the same.Galaxy R would
only play 1080p videos in 3gp format,it wouldnt play Mp4 1080p videos.And
besides after using the SuperAMOLED screen of the galaxy s plus, you
wouldnt wanna use the SuperClear LCD display.Overall i would say to go for
the s2 or stick the galaxy S plus
So wt I'm sayin is that LCDs drain constant power from the battery, nd
AMOLEDs drain less power when displaying blacks nd 3 times the power when
displaying whites. So basically, it all depends on hw you use ur phone. As
for durability, LCD displays have more life. However, the next generation
of AMOLED displays will be better than anything we have seen.
@samjack16 ur welcome..Please share ur experience in terms of
usage..camera, screen, android OS and any limitations that we should be
aware about. I know we can get this from other videos from youtube, but
only an individual user can share the experience that we may have
overlooked or never thought of. Thanks in advance..
OH ! no the build is soooo poor I was very confident about Scratch
resistant cover of Samsung but it failed why cant samsung place a Gorilla
glass instead of this crappy stuff ? ? Gorilla glass is jus toooooooo tough
! I didnt have a scratch on My GS1 even with drops and intended wipes with
razors this is soooooo poor
@samjack16 The battery back up of R is better than S2 because of its low
specifications and 1650 MAH battery.S2 has 8 mp, 1.2 GZ processor and other
high quality features which needs a lot of power.If u r not concerned about
the battery then S2 is THE BEST phone that u can get (Even better than
Iphone 4 and 4S).
on many sites i hav seen ppl sayin dat dey r facin problms wid proximity
sensor,blackout,speaker fone dosnt work aftr dey plug in n plug out da
headfones,fone gets heated easily,it hangs very easily,etc hav u faced such

hey there, i just saw the video today and wanted to buy it. i searched
flipkart and other websites. they are saying this mobile is discontinued i
wanted to check whether it is true or not. so kindly inform me.
You will either have to buy it from saholic.com (spice's online gadget
store) They have limited stocks, OR you will have to hunt down on your
local stores like I and aswaprince12 did, and got it from Croma!
Got this phone week ago...its awesome...my 1st android device....and i
heard this will be getting ICS...so i cant expect anything much than this
for the price i have paid...20500rs !!! loved it !!!!!!!!!!!
@LoonyLynx ..I just wanted to make one thing clear...When i checked on the
internet, it said that an AMOLED screen saves more power as compared to a
LCD and is more durable than other forms of light...
@TheShiv9999 Thanx for the reply... I've bought the Galaxy R and it giving
my decent battery backing and so far lasts easily a day for my usage...
Very happy.. and works as a great ebook reader lol...
@DGguitarist : Thats cz the rest of it (about 250mb) is used by the OS.. So
only 724mb is available for running applications.. But that wont cause any
lag, its sufficient.
Toshiba Folio 100 10.1inch tablet with Nvidia Tegra 2 and Android 2.2 hands on at IFA 2010
Nice preview Sascha, as always! It would be nice to test all of these new
tablets at IFA 2010 in action for most common user functions as web
browser, including adobe flash videos from youtube, google maps navigation,
skype video calls if supported and as well as a e-book reader, movie
player, jpeg photo viewer (by simple SD card (USB stick) with several files
- pdf, doc, jpeg photos and videos like HD 1080p m2ts files from your video
camera or other movie sources like mkv, mpeg, mp4).
I have got my hands on one of thease and all I can say is STAY AWAY!!!. No1
You cant plug it into your pc with the supposed USB to trans pics music
etc. No2 You cant watch ANY flash vids (as of yet) No3 You can "use
external usb drives" Bull Sh** and to be honest I feel fecking cheated out
of £329!!! EPIC FAIL!, Dam I wish Id gone for the iPad!, If all of the
above was fixed it would be a dam good bit of kit, but its been released
half arsed =(
@guartrapa that MIGHT be true, but guess what we aren't in the future so we
must use flash for present, we've been so evolved around flash that it
isn't easy to just say "fuck it lets move to html5" (Apple), they should
offer BOTH flash and html5 in the present time(iPad) and we the users will
decide what moves to future, we can't be jumping to the future without
living the present (tablet with flash [Apple])
Toshiba should go back to the Libretto design cues. However, I stopped
trusting in Toshiba a long time ago. Big laptops, not so good design, cheap
materials on certain models, they abused of the worst Intel chipsets just
like Compaq did three years ago...
@cvunit unfortunately no. thats the reason i dont like the ipad. that and u
can multitask, no camera. im not gonna wait for the ipad 2. ima get the
motorola xoom or the toshiba tablet.
The hell kind a review is this? Its going to a tour - there a house, and
there's the celebrity garage, and oh that's pet which I'm not sure what
kind a animal is that. Bad review.
@marzso111 Agree....what is going on between Asus and Skype!!!! Bought the
Asus Eee Pad Transformer in June 2011 and soooooo disappointed when there
was no video with Skype!!! What gives and when till this be fixed!!!! I
feel as though this should have been disclosed up front....what gives
here??? What good is front-facing camera????
"using the standard skype client".. LIAR!!! this clown has zero
credibility. Don't blame skype. They don't claim to support this product.
While acer on the other hand makes money by lying about what it can be used
for!.. the samsung tablet with the same processor runs skype.
@MrSrgtSausage no tegra 2 tablets can use the video calling feature of the
standard skype client, due to technical limitations of the chip itself and
of honeycomb. as far as "using the standard skype client" he was referring
to the laptop running it, not the tablet...
Pues me acabo de comprar una Iconia A500 con Nvidia Tegra 2, y pura madre
que la videoconferencia está habilitada.... al investigar en la página
resulta que los chipset Tegra 2 no están soportados... osea, este video es
bullshit osea caca de toro!
Vaporware. Skype released this video with Skype on Tegra based tablets
months ago, and the application is still not available. I think they used
some recorded videos to simulate it :)
