All depends on the price. But 1280x800 on a quad core chip? All other specs are nice.

Best tablet:
*Good quad core* processor (aka not the Tegra 3) (somewhere around a quadcore s4, that would rock)

*Good screen* (I like 1680*1050) (16:10 is better than 16:9)

*Standard build quality* (the asus and samsung tablets have great build quality, don't give it an expensive cover)

*Nice design* (I would like to have the android buttons seperated more from the screen, they don't seem right being at the bottom of the screen)

*Inputs and outputs* (always useful) (the more the better, usually)

*On android* (WITH GOOD APP SUPPORT)

*Outstanding price point* (will attract people from the iPad) ($350 is great)

*One amazing feature that will make it sell* (idk what it will be)

What you think?

iOS is even more crashy and laggy than Android. I got sick of my iTouch 4 before I went to my Galaxy S2. And the original Transformer had some issues. Don't blame it on Android, blame it on Asus, the manufacturer.

Hello, Asus doesn't customize their Android software at all. Its all coming right out of Google's bank that stores stolen code from Apple.

Learn the facts before using this as an excuse. fandroid

You think I don't have any Android device at all? I do have Asus Transformer and Samsung's developer w8 slates here. I'm sick of you fanboys trying to conceal the facts.

I call BS on this one. I had a dual core Android tablet and it crashed at least once a day through heavy use. While not bad, at times it really got bogged down and slow. Since I purchased the iPad, it hasn't crashed once in a month through heavy use. Software and hardware reliability has been exemplary. And this is coming from a avid Android user. From my personal experience, iOS is much more stable than Android on tablets. While Android is my ONLY choice for smartphones, it's definitely outclassed in the tablet segment IMO.

No idea what you guys are talking about with all this "instability" crap. I have a Transformer Prime, a Galaxy Nexus, an iPad 2 and the new iPad, and none of them has ever crashed, not even once (Nexus and Transformer are both rooted and flashed with custom BIOS, too). iOS has always been very stable, but so is Ice Cream Sandwich.

The only reason I think the Transformer series is on par with the iPad is that they do offer a lot of functionality the iPad doesn't, specifically the full keyboard and track-pad, which completely changes the tablet experience. I would say, however, that the iPad outclasses every single other line of Android tablet out there, including all Galaxy Tabs, simply because they're competing with Apple on Apple's terms. They try to copy the iPad instead of doing something different.

That is so true but you can get a Bluetooth keyboard for the iPad and other tablets so that kind of levels the playing field in that respect.

You do realize that android has true multi-tasking versus I pad that doesn't have it. All you had to do is run a task/app manager to prevent it. This is why it is proven that ios has the most crashes. This is also why ios is for those who are clueless and android is for the more tech savvy.

You can dream forever.
My TF101 transformer never crash, fast respond, fast upgrade to ICS.
All this crashy , laggy lie is from Microsoft marketing because 50% of American not using smartphone and they are trying very hard to get this new user on board their OS.

18. eaxvac posted on 14 Apr 2012, 07:48 1 7

Its pathetic seeing fandroids defending spydroid and the facts.

20. PackMan posted on 14 Apr 2012, 09:04 3 3

Its pathetic seeing isheeeps not admitting to the fact that iProducts are overpriced craaap,.
And ios is nothing but icon grid, its just pathetic and boring. If you remove all the widgets and run no apps on background even mid-range android phones runs faster than iPhones.
You stupid troll also dont seem to understand that smooth animations does not equal fast performance, just look at windows phone, the transitions and splash screen are just to hide the loading time.

If demeaning someone's assumed socio-economic status is your only comeback, I'm afraid you can't be taken seriously.

You get thumbs down for literally asking for it and calling people stupid, not for voicing your opinion.

10. rf1975 posted on 14 Apr 2012, 04:53 5 1

Far better offering. Tab 2 is rubbish.

12. TylerGrunter posted on 14 Apr 2012, 06:26 4 1

It´s normal that it lacks compared to the Prime, at the very end is just the cheap version of the Prime. The specs are the same save for it´s plastic and has versions with 16 and 32GB instead of 32 and 64GB.
But if plastic means 100$ less, it´s more than welcome to me!

14. bobfreking55 posted on 14 Apr 2012, 06:34 0 1

yep. but the 300 series have 3G selections while the prime has none.

17. TylerGrunter posted on 14 Apr 2012, 07:32 1 1

You are right about that!
I never thought about it becasue I find it a bit silly for me to buy a tablet with 3G. I can tether the data from my phone when needed, I guess not everyone does/can.
So I only look at the Wifi tablets.

What ever happened to that? I haven't seen a news article on the Infinity in months, it seems. It looks like the only tablet out there that can take on the new iPad in terms of specs, and I'm really looking forward to comparing the two.
