Don't start! :D

Well I can't multi-task so I don't see the need for a tablet to do so.
Watching a video whilst listening to music whilst doing the shopping all sounds a little complicated! :wonder:

Is that all the galaxy note 10.1 has over the tab 10.1?

Why does Samsing make two 10 inch tablets? :wonder:

Don't know, tried to ask about the differences on page one.

jonc 11 February 2013 02:24 PM

The tab 10.1 is older and lower spec, the Note 10.1 is faster and newer and has a itty-bitty little stylus.

dpb 11 February 2013 02:46 PM

You get playbook which does android and BB10 and multitaskes for a FIFT of the price with 64 mg, albeit without 4g. -( who actually has access to this anyway )

A FIFTH.!!!! :lol1:



And flash, html5,security

scoobyverysoon 11 February 2013 02:48 PM

See my link it compairs all specs they have more or less the same screen but its better in all other areas

Skype is great with the better front camera

Gear Head 11 February 2013 02:53 PM

Had a change of heart now and I'm going to give the Nexus 7 a try. If I don't like it, I'll sell it and think about a Ipad Mini 2 when it comes out in march.

For the last month I have been using my HTC One X+ for internet browsing whilst the mrs uses the netbook. So if that works ok, it seems daft to ignore the Nexus 7.

Will order one tonight and see how I get on.

Funny thing with the nexus when I looked in to them was sky go was supported by the nexus 7 but not the bigger brother the 10, what gives? Unless its changed now, bit odd really tho if you ask me :cuckoo:

Beef 11 February 2013 03:46 PM

What surprised me was how much more useful a browsing device the N7 was over my Gnex. Like you, I ummed and ahhed about getting an N7 as I wasn't sure if it would be big enough, but I can confirm it's absolutely spot-on perfect. It's an excellent size for Vice City on the train without elbowing my neighbours.

I personally bought the 3G model as I'm too lazy to tether, and have a £7.50/m for 1GB package from Three.

Exactly that. In the shop, it looks too small. But nobody ever says that in the reviews.
:wonder:

I know that the Nexus 7 would work with everything. I fear that being my only Apple device, the iPad would be rather restrictive.

Pussy!

You're dead to me now

That's my wife said about you after than pathetic performance you put on for her!
:D

She expected at least 5 minutes. I mean, that's what she is used to.....on a good day. :D

stevebt 11 February 2013 05:11 PM

32 gig mini is perfect, I bought one as it has all the best bits of a new ipad except screen res and cpu speed. Its small enough to fit into my wifes bag if we go out and has enough storage to get most of the games on you want to play. My wife has the normal sized ipad and they are just too heavy for my liking plus she can't fit hers in her bag :D

andy97 11 February 2013 07:06 PM

What you need is the galaxy note 8. :D

Gear Head 12 February 2013 09:19 AM

I'm worse than a woman. Woke up this morning feeling certain that I will buy an iPad mini......now I can't bring myself to press the 'buy' button.

Must be something to do with me being a tight git! :D

Ant 12 February 2013 09:37 AM

probably ! just BUY IT!!

dpb 12 February 2013 09:59 AM

This is how suckers fall for apple, you've got to take a step back, think beyond the aesthetic

Yeah, who needs something you hold and look at all the time to look and feel good?? Suckers. And... PC's should be Putty coloured and and in a noisy square box damn it. What a bunch of fruit ponsies.

dpb 12 February 2013 10:36 AM

Totally. :thumb:

You've got to look out for the fruitcases, well the apple ones anyway

Gear Head 12 February 2013 10:39 AM

Just one thing, can I tether the mini to my phone when out and about?

Yes, but it looks good when you do it, avoid.

Ant 12 February 2013 10:44 AM

Yes

I have the nexus 4,7 and 10. They are all awesome for the price. Hopefully sky will get their act together in supporting the N10.

We already did that one last year, yes it can, do a search and watch Mr Burns squirm. I was playing a game on the plane last night and an alarm went off! Was it voodoo? I switched to the awesome alarm clock, switched back to Need for Speed and carried on drifting.

You see, this is what puts me off buying Apple.

You do the brand no favours Jack. :D

The more bollocks you spout, the lower the share price becomes. :lol1:
