iPad alternatives

[fourtheboys96]

I know iPad is still the measuring stick when it comes to tablets. But since its introduction to the market, a lot of other tablets have been introduced as well, some cheaper and some more expensive.

So far, which iPad alternatives do you think deserves attention and consideration.

I've read and seen (at the store)

Samsung Galaxy Tab - looks really good and seems fast. 10.1 version is a lot more expensive than iPad
Acer Iconia - display is subpar to iPad and Galaxy but comes cheap.
Toshiba Thrive - like a netbook without the keyboard (SD card, USB, full HDMI). looks cheap and bulky.
Regza (I think this is also Toshiba Thrive) - but the version I saw looks a lot better. was not able to test it because it wont turn on.

Any other suggestions? I am thinking of buying one.

i own (and owned) most of the tablets in the market. used ipad1 and 2, asus transformer, acer iconia, samsung galaxy tab (7 and 10 inch) and sony tablet s.

my fave? its the sony tablet. been using it for 4 months now (i think this is the longest i ever used a tablet). reason: while most of them have almost identical functions and OS, its the convenience of holding the tablet in your hands.

Just stick with APPLE. The Silkiness of iOS is its Secret Sauce.

That is the reason why the iPad is No. 1 hands down.

Prices of the iPad 2 should come down by March 7, when the iPad3 is launched.

I have tab 10.1 and ipad2, form factor iPad, function tab..

Just bought a USB reader for the tab, now I can watch movie w/o saving it to the internal memory..unlike sa iPad...

Anyway, how do I lessen yun memory na "other" it's getting bigger, the reason why I don't save movie files na sa iPad...I noticed na limalaki yun other even after I deleted the movie files

Para sakin galaxy tab is my choice over the ipad. Dami din advantage ng galaxy kasi over the ipad.

Camera vga pa lang ipad and 2mp for the galaxy. Then also ram speed is 1gig sa galaxy while 512 lang ipad. The only advantage ng ipad is the app store kasi they have more than the andriod. Lastly is the high level of personalizing the home screen ng galaxy.

Ok ang ipad if you have other toys from apple na interconnected to each other one way or another. Mac, apple TV, iphone etc. They've got better apps unlike android na madami nga, madami rin basura.

the best tablet of all is the ASUS TRANSFORMER PRIME...the only quad core tablet ;)

Apple iPAD has the most polished UI bar none. It is the Reference standard for all tablets.

Dont waste time on the others, the iPAD3 will be out by Wednesday and will push the bar even higher.

Yun mga may ipad2 mag upgrade ba kayo? Ako nope, will wait till stable na LTE dito sa atin..until then I'm still enjoying my jailbroken ipad2

OT: Paano ko bawasan yun memory ng "other" aside from restoring it to factory? Ano ba yun memory na yun?

When will they announced the official name of the new iPad?

When will they announced the official name of the new iPad?

In about a week when they officially launch it. You should know Apple by now.

A good enough cheap alternative is the ainol novo aurora. 7k lang but better than the original galaxy tab. Comes with ice cream sandwich.

Don't forget about the one other highlighted feature of the new Ipad... Voice Dictation.

I have both ipad2 ang samy tab 10....

Maganda galaxy Meron text function well at least yun 3G models...Saka i can watch movie thru thumb drive no need to save it pa sa memory and hinde ko na rin kailangan pa saksak sa laptop para mag transfer ng files..

Sa iPad naman...well form Lang talaga & apps...but since I lost my JB last week dahil I upgraded some tweak Sa Cydia na hinde pa siguro compatible laya na stock na sa ple logo no choice but to restore...eh Wala akong Masyadong gamit...walang gana eh puro trial yun mga apps..

Saka social climber ako Bakit ba? Kaya iPad dinadala ko pag lumalabas pag coffee coffee Sa Starbucks Siyempre dapat iPad...

Saka maganda talaga tablet pag browse browse Lang...unlike before pag gabi nakahiga na ako pag gusto ko mag surf babangon pa at punta ako sa desk para gamitin laptop..eh ngayon NASA side table na Lang tablet luna agar nakahiga pa ako...

Saka maganda pa pag nag byahe...pag waiting for boarding hinde na kailangan mag boot Kung mag browse Lang Saka panalo pas oras pag meron hinihintay sa grocery I can just sit Sa tabi na lang at paused surf Lang...

Yun unang labas Wala talaga ako balak bumili eh, dahil I don't see the need then, pero once you've used it..kailangan talaga eh..pag mga short trip Lang abroad or Kahit locally no need to bring laptop na...

Ewan ko I don't play games using the tablets, parang Ang hirap eh...solitaire Lang meron..
