shoud i buy a xoom? - Xoom General

hello xoom community. imma big android lover. ive had a sgs fascinate which bricked and now i have a htc desire. the android 3.0 has been calling my name and im extremely bad when i want something. i need to have it. as of this second, i have the money 4 the wifi version. my question is, is it worth 700 dollars canadian? ive never used a tablet b4 so its a new expierience 4 me all together. any advice would b awesom thx
edit: can the xoom run goldeneye on the n64oid? perfect dark? how does psx4droid run? basically, i know im going to get this if it can play these gaes at a good speed

I'd say wait for the eel pad transformer. better screen and working sd card slot. plus it's $100 cheaper for the 32 GB version. runs on tegra 2.

It runs N64 well, but if you need to hold a button down for a while (like A in Mario Kart) it stops working after 15-20 seconds. Very frustrating.

Yep. $450 for 16gb WiFi. Gonna be thicker and heavier though.

I don't know how much weight my opinion carries since I don't have a Xoom(yet) either, but so far I have for the most part have heard good things. So good in fact that I am leaning towards getting one next month.

Why take **** out when it was already their in the first place
All these missing features were already on galaxy S phones and shouldn't have been removed
BTW i have 16GB on phone and 16GB on my external SD and its combination on nandroid, titanium, ROM back-ups/ custom config files/ Themes /720p MKV/AVI movies/ Gameloftgames/MP3s/PICS/PS2, SNES..ect roms/Sub directories for programs all this crap adds up
....Sorry no porn
Sure you dont need all that stuff on hand but its quite covenant not to have to hook up to PC all the time to move **** back and fourth to make space
But yea i could probably manage fine with 16 GB thats why im still debating on getting it
I for one will buy a Nexus S on the 16th! I can't wait! I can live with all the other "shortfalls" that everyone is complaining about.

You got a good point but I have noticed lately that they have been giving alot of props to apple.
Do you think that they are trying to steer the phone makers in adopting these decisions LIKE taking the sd slot out?
Plus maybe these decisions where in the favor of the google devs. Which means since a dev phone it will be sold the same way.
ORRR even better the budget constraints....all these extra things cost money and Samsung thinking this device is going to be sold to a small market share they pulled all the things that make it a multimedia device out of it...
We may never know but you can explain if you have a better idea.Im open minded i'd like to hear some speculation =D

I would for sure, but I have Sprint
Stop making excuses for Samsung and Google.
This is a Vibrant with a curved screen running on Gingerbread. Nothing more.
I fail to see this as a worthwhile "upgrade".
Im standing up for my self I dont care about making excuses...Ive owned a Vibrant and wish to get stock on it.
Plus SGS phones have faulty GPS and before you even say that they fixed it or even bash me for the excuse. Know that the maps application is a huge part of the Android OS and I would gladly say that I would fork over 550 for one that works and not 500 for one that dosent.

At first when I saw the lack of HSPA+ i thought about not getting it, but after comparing the speed of my G2 (temporary until Thursday) to my just SOLD nexus one, there was no difference (same 3mb down). It is going to take some good time untill tmobile goes over 7mb ( at least in my area).
I will be second in line after you buddy..
Yeah I live in a HSPA+ area and my friend was comparing his speed to my sisters MT4G and he was laughing at her when his HD2 pulled the same 4megs a sec so im good since its as fast is it will be here...

also with the processor at 1.2mhz really not helping either
1.2 or 1.5....I really don't care all that much. Main thing is the optimization to utilize both cores. Looks i4s...its only 800mhz and its fast

All true, but i'm still waiting to see the power of the battery and it's internal storage. The only major things i like about this phone is that it's pure android and that it will release with ICS. If the battery is weak and the internal storage is low, i'm either get the SGSII or wait til something else comes out, cause i got a feeling the Galaxy Nexus is gonna be waaaaaay overpriced for pretty much the same specs as the SGSII, but with ICS(which is nice, but i can wait for the release on the atrix or SGSII) plus it's goin to Verizon first and i'm with At&T soooo........

i don't have a problem with the camera being 5mp, now with the processor stratax cleared that up for me, but no sd card slot, and a 1750mAh battery is gonna disappoint a lot of people just like the nexus s, which is a great phone but could've been better with an sd card slot for people like me that store a lot of music, videos, etc on their phone. My atrix replaced every other device i had(ipod, digital cam, psp) with the 48gbs it holds. But i do believe the Galaxy Nexus will be a great device, just missing a few things

as for the camera that is true, mp are marketing pretty much. software can make it look better than 99% of 8-12mp cameras out there. hahaha there is no sdcard slot? so many people didnt get the nexus s because of that. you'd think they would learn.. that is the same reason i didnt get the sensation because of low storage. i use my atrix as the same. most of it is music and games lol. which takes up a ton. how can a company make a entertainment device with low storage -_- unless it has like 64gb of storage i wont be happy with it. maybe 32 would be fine but still, im sure it will be expensive.
Am I wasting my time thinking AT&T will subsidize the version with their bands?

if our phone does not recieve ICS or CM doesnt make a port or whatever im leaving android for sure. im tired of having to switch a freaking device RIGHT after i buy it. WP7 is on the lead with actually updating their phones and crap and have good hardware requirements without fragmentation. i know that technology gets updated fast blah blah. its just crap what google does lol. i like the big leap they are taking, but they need to AT LEAST update ICS on all the dual core phones that have been released. that would be pretty sweet

if you want one now, the xoom is basically an nexus tablet. well just have wait an see, for an few months.
If Nexus Tab:Nexus Phone::Galaxy Tab:Galaxy Phone, I'll stick with Galaxy phones and tabs for superior hardware, since Touchwiz is becoming driver support rather than ui.

Ya I do want one now! I have trying to hold out for the Transformer 2, but I have almost went and grabbed something else on a couple occasions now. ;-) Normally I am fairly patient though, so I can wait if I think I'm getting a better product. I have looked at the xoom a couple times. Something rubs me wrong with it though. Maybe the whole Motorola and locked boot loader fiasco. I am not sure this applies to the xoom however and maybe just their phones. I keep getting the feeling of some hidden hoopla I'm going to run across.

It's been hard for me not to just grab a samsung tab and be done with it! I have enjoyed my epic and the hardware has been outstanding! I guess there are two things keeping me from doing that
.
1) The tegra 3 quad core in the prime. (hardware)
2) Just wanting something a lil different from my phone I guess.
The main things that are important to me is hardware, and developer support. The Epic would just not be the same without either of those! So, I want that in a tablet as well.
I also will need to get a windows 8 tablet due to my job so I wanted to keep the price down on the android tablet. However that Transformer Primes hardware and promises of ICS soon is making that tough! ;-)
Well, from doing some more digging with google it looks like their tablet is still 6 months away.
However, I am in the market for a tablet before then. Looks like google won't be getting my money this time around!
Hopefully they will release details on specs at CES in January as I am curious what's in it.

If you hold tight, I'm sure there will be a TON of development for that device. It's the premire Android Tablet right now, so I expect some great things for it. Since it's so new and not everyone has one yet, dev will be a bit slow at the get-go, but I can assure you, it will pick up...and you'll be very happy.

Is this a good deal?

Have the opportunity to get a a500 with a charger today for 225, is it a good deal and a very capable tablet?
This would be my first tablet, otherwise I was thinking of a100 or nook tablet new from best buy if I need to return.
Thanks
Ics 4.0.3
Sounds like it
I assume this is used, cause they are ~ $350 minimum new.
On ebay they go for cheapest ~ $230-250.
So if it is in good condition, with no scratches or other issues,
yes, a good deal.
It's a great tab. Been very happy.
Sorry i didn't specify, yes it is used.
Found it on Craigs list.
Only comes with charger and the tab, says he prefers his ipad 2 instead and this just collects dust.
I've seen touchpads for as low as 150, I'm the kind of person that can't make up there mind lol so I need some help.

I ordered a refurb A500 and discovered the tablet would not hold a charge. Tablet was in great condition otherwise. I actually own 3 A500 (2 16G and 1 32G I got from woot a few days back). The rear camera is pretty good. I took some Christmas pictures and they turned out really good. I also use the GPS (navigation). I think it's a great tablet. You'll be able to do a lot with it, that's for sure. With ICS due sometime in the near future, even better.
Acers store on ebay has a500 refurbs directly from them for $299.99 for a 32GB + 10$ shipping. I pulled the trigger on one 2 days ago. My first tablet so super stoked. Prevously only played around on Smartphones. Htc Hero, Evo (My Rom whore) and now Evo 3D.

[Q] SDXC support

Has anyone tried to put a 64gb card in the focus? With so many Android devices supporting those and me running you of space on my phone I was wondering if I couldn't use one of those. But I don't want to waste $100+ if it not going to work. So, what say you?
+1. I was considering getting a focus and a 64 gb card to replace my zune. I know it is working on the hd2, so if anyone has tried this I would love to know. Thanks in advance. :thumbup:

whether Asus Transformer prime (on ICS) will support SDHC or SDXC ?
Same here, I just picked up Asus Transformer Prime (32G). Upgraded it to ICS 4.0.3 successfully.
I wanted to buy a micro sd card for expanding my storage, but then got baffled by the various models/variants available..
I found one SDHC and another one SDXC. Reading about them enlightened me a bit, but I didnt find any references to which one of these my tablet will support.
So, asking out loud here, has anyone tried either of these ? and whats the experience ? anyone who has tried sdxc, is it worth the extra money ??
please share experience.
regards
I'm also very interested in this.
From SanDisk's website, they have Ultra microSDHC (class 6) and Ultra microSDXC.
Looking through the XDA wiki, many of the cards listed are older generation.

I have no idea how to find out what version controller is in the Samsung Focus. A quick lookup on pdadb.net did not yield any immediate info.
I guess I'll be the guinea pig. I'll get one from amazon next week and see what comes out of that. If it doesn't work I can always use it in my n900.

I would suggest a lower class (2-4) if possible, as higher class (6-10) are oriented usually around burst speed not fast seek times (as lower class cards are). In any case, thank you!

Patience, haven't bought it yet. Life happened. Hopefully next week.
Success!
Just received my card and installed it and I have the pleasure to announce that it works perfectly.
