koshmar posted:So I just got my Prime and I'm enjoying it so far. Can anyone who has gotten a Prime case recommend one. Also what games/emulators are you running. I've been working to get Baldurs Gate 2 up and running with Gemrb. I was wondering if there were any market games worth my time. You should definitely check out the Android game thread as there are definitely some market games worth checking out. The current obsession over there is Dungeon Raid, won't show of the tab let's horse power but it will turn your poops into hour long affairs.

Gyshall posted:How is the Nook Color as a rooted tablet? I'm most interested in reading comics/Kindle books, as well as playing some games and so on. I looked at the Kindle Fire but I wasn't happy with the size of the screen. I love mine like nobodies business but don't they have the same screen size? They run really well and while they have a couple of issues it's nothing o would consider a deal breaker. I haven't even experienced SOD since I got rid of Beautiful Widgets.

nickhimself posted:So... is this thread specifically for android tablets or are those of us with windows based tablets allowed in here as well? You're allowed in here sure, we'll just mock you relentlessly. We have to make ourselves feel better somehow  (I know there has been talk of an Android specific tablet thread so I assume this is the result of those talks. I'm not really sure where that leaves the WebOS and Windows peeps though.)

God drat it annoys some people that others use their poo poo for different things. "I use flash regularly on my mobile device." "Well you're wrong and stupid and shouldn't do that."  Edit: I miss seeing that the thread had a lot of new posts and having those posts be about actual Android tablets and other cool stuff

I don't really care about any of that, I don't care about the iPad, I don't care about what it can and can't do. If I did, I would go into the iPad thread to talk about it. I think we should be able to talk about Android tablets, even compare Android features to iOS features on occasion, with out having the thread get locked every time. It's great you love your iPad/iOS/Apple, we don't give a poo poo.

got dat wmd posted:The little thing for the iPhone that comes with a fisheye and macro lens is pretty great, though. It just snaps on the side. Things like that don't really seem to exist for Androids because they all seem to mostly center-mount the camera. Manufacturers should take a hint and position the camera in a corner so there could be little accessories like that. Those rule. There is a macro lens for Android phones that's on a big rubber band that looks really cool and there is also some crazy 360° camera lens thing coming out for the Nexus. Those are like the only two and one is relatively new and one isn't even out yet.

NINbuntu 64 posted:The macro one is great. I thought the Nexus 360 degree lens already came out though? I seem to recall them getting their startup money on Kickstarter forever and a day ago. I really want to pick up the macro lens. They may have, I thought I saw something with them at CES but sometimes I dream things. Either way its not nearly as simple or portable as the macro lens and it doesn't seem like I would carry it around.

Well gently caress. I went ahead and ordered a Galaxy Tab 7 Plus from Amazon. It was a lightning deal and is one of my favorite tablets. I'll give it to the fiance or flip it when Asus gets around to releasing their 7 inch offering.

Well, my first Galaxy Tab PLUS had a big ole dead pixel in the middle of the screen so Amazon overnighted me a new one and I'm loving this thing. 7 inches is still my favorite tablet size and 3.2 ain't bad at all, if Samsung ever sees fit to upgrade it to ICS it will be even better.

My Linux Rig posted:You know, this thread doesn't need to be limited to just praising android tablets. You realize you can critique them too, right? There is a difference between critiquing them, which we do often, and a page long derail about iPad resolutions and why they are yet another reason that the iPad is better than Android. The fact that you think it would just be an Android tablet circle jerk without the routine iPad is great derail says more about you and less about the thread.

I think my issue stems more from the fact that every time the iPad is brought up it turns into a two page derail about the iPad, what thread its being talked about in, etc. The dude that started this was an idiot, is it possible to move on and try to ignore the idiot? We don't have much luck ignoring the YOSPOS idiots I know but a boy can dream.

^^^^^^ I try but I know I ain't perfect. Also haven't you heard, if we don't constantly compare Android Tablets to the iPad the thread would be boring and also a circle jerk apparently. eric posted:If it upsets you so much perhaps you should get out? How do you guys get that it upsets me? I'm not the one making wall of texts posts with links defending my mobile OS of choice. Not sure how preferring the thread stay unlocked morphs into be upset/very upset.

Rastor posted:Are we now having a derail about derails? The best derail possible. I'll try to get it back on track. I've had my Tab Plus for a few days now and I'm liking it very much. My only little complaint is the screen, I kind of wish it was a slightly higher resolution. Other than that it's nice. Though going back to HC after ICS is a little of a shock, though 3.2 seems pretty dang solid so far.

^^^^^^^^ Ballin BonzoESC posted:Doesn't 2.3 have those too? I used them on my HTC Vivid which is pretty new, and also on un-named competitor phone that's had them since 2010. They are much more user friendly in ICS, exactly like iOS I think. Maker Of Shoes posted:Have you seen any of the Acer A50x tablets? The resolution on my old 500 was pretty terrible but I have nothing to compare it against so I'm not sure if that's the norm or not. 600x1024 Not fantastic but adequate in my opinion. The screen is otherwise very nice. I'm not sure what the resolution was for the 500 but I think the 600x1024 was popular among small Android Tablets last year. Edit: On the topic of folders, what the gently caress Honeycomb?

Oh see I wasn't aware of any problems with the Prime as we don't have snarky rear end comments like that multiple times a page. If only we had a group of idiots hell bent on letting everyone know how lovely Android tablets are, then life would be good. Yep.

I'm happy with my current tabby but that thing is just to nice (sounding). I also think I'm going to pick up a Transformer for my parents, you can get them for a ridiculous price refurbished and they seem really solid. Question. If my parents mainly use their laptop for browsing the internet, checking email and paying bills online would a Transformer plus dock be a suitable replacement for them?
