Thinking of treating myself to one for Christmas, thinking about the Nexus 7, ipad mini or the Samsung one. It'll be just for browsing the net and a new toy to be honest, so I don't think I'll need one with lots of memory. Any recommendations?????

 

If you already have an iPhone go for the iPad otherwise Nexus 7.

 

The blackberry play books are quite good, obviously theyre more suited to peeps with blackberry phones. However do come with 64gb of storage so lots of apps and films can be stored on them, and the menu and controls are easy to use. Im writing this message on the one i bought my missus for xmas.

 

Can't beat the price of the nexus 7

 

yes, you can - Galaxy tab 2 (7.0)

 

I do have an IPhone, but not an Apple geek, just want a good product.

 

I would still go with the htc!


Bollocks if you got iPhone , iPad may be better for integration

 

I have just been having a look at some of the tablets in the carphonewarehouse today and I have to admit unless you pay out for a top price tablet for using the web, pinch to zoom is really fast on the ipad 2 but was very slow and jerky on midrange tablets. The new Note, Experia and Asus seemed good though but they are more cash. I though the Nexus was a little slow and the Tab was pretty bad.

 

I started off with an Iphone 4, and started to use my phone for surfing the web over the house.
Then decided I would get something bigger (Make it easier on my eyes for one) and because I was used to the Apple interface went with an IPAD 2 at the time.
Best thing is, if you get an app for one device it will also download itself on the other and vice versa. Ideal when it comes to buying one App for 2 devices without buying seperate apps.
Something to take into account.

 

Went for an iPad mini in the end, wife won't let me have in until Christmas Day.

 

.......

 

Good choice. I was going to say to try them all and get the one you liked the most and was within budget. That's what I did and ended up with an iPad. No regrets, love it.

 

I just a bought a white 32GB I pad mini, well yesterday but it’s still in the wrapper will have a wee play later today. I was going to buy the Nexus 7 but the camera sold it for me on the I pad.

This will replace 4 devices. I will still use my Nokia Lumia 710 as a phone and emergency camera and net access, but my Archos 20GB camcorder mp3/4 player my I pod Nano 2GB, as I am crap at taking pictures my Fuji 14mp camera and my Archos 10" netbook. Packing for holidays should be easier next year.

This is not for everyone but this will suit me, the wife asked if I will use it much?, think I will. Its first proper use will be recording the granddaughter opening her presents tomorrow.

 

i was going to get the nexus 7 but after a go its just too small so i went for the samsung note 10.1 very impressed so far

 

Got one of these, had it a week, very impressed. Have Galaxy S2 phones and run kies air so can link them up easily enough with each other and/or the laptop. Paid £319.00 for the 16gb version which seems like a good price.

Was going to get an ipad 2/3 but integration with what we already have was the main issue.

didn't like the screens on the 7" devices, just too small. The Note gets more use than the laptop day to day.

 

On my new iPad mini at the moment, it's spot on, Merry Christmas all

 

Santa dropped me off a nexus7 this morning via the kids, ideal for what I need..

 

Mates just bought lenovo 7" tab, 150 I think

No idea . you can get one for 50 quid now so I'd expect it to be pretty glossy

 

Ditto .... Only thing sick of the security measures complex password and 1+3 security questions but that aside very slick. Now we are updating to IS6.02 just want to play with my new toy

 

Looking for a tablet myself at the minute, but want a 10inch....hear everyone raving about the Nexus 7, anyone any experience of the Nexus 10 inch, and why are they so hard to get?

Thinking Samsung Tab or Nexus 10in if i can get any good info on either it would be appreciated....

Cheers

Kevin

 

Ipad Mini all the way, not to big, not to small

 

How good is the mini as I'm probably buying one today?

 

Yea i'm sure its a good machine alright but i still want a 10inch in whatever i get, think the 7in in any tablet is too small for me tbh....

Still interested to hear more about the Nexus 10 from anyone....

 

I picked up an Archos 80 Cobalt, yesterday at Tesco. £50! It's a better spec than my laptop

Not done much with it yet, but it seems ok for the money.

 

Bought an iPad mini yesterday, only just set it up so unsure on what it's like. I still have the plastic wrap on it as I want to get a case for it first

 

Got my daughter the samsung tab2 10" for Xmas, fantastic bit of kit, very clear very fast and easy to use and Carphone warehouse are doing it for I think £235 with £50 cash back and a free memory card

When I was looking in to these Tablets, the Samsung was coming up better and plus you can put SD cards in to them, i also read bad reviews about the Nexus and the screens lifting off or something

 

Had a first proper play with an iPad mini yesterday as the father-in-law got one for christmas. Very nice. So light and thin. Makes my iPad feel like a brick!

The screen doesn't seem that much smaller either especially as the mini doesn't have a big border round the screen like the iPad.

 

I've got one of those too, pretty nifty bit of kit with loads of storage. Use mine for browsing the Internet emails etc etc

 

Just don't let the battery go flat - it's designed badly so won't take charge once the battery gets too flat and the only way to get it back is to return it to RIM
