This form factor is perfect and actually portable. The screen size being 10.1 seemed big reading about it, but after holding it, it's perfect. It doesn't seem as big as the iPad due to the widescreen shape. I am able to hold it in one hand. Those of you that thought the GT 10.1 is too big...it's not. Really isn't too much bigger than the current GT. Very impressed.!!! Honeycomb takes some getting used to. Quick and just different.

I want one. But haven't read anything about a wifi only version and am not paying for anoyer data package I wont need.
Will continue to wait for why I need to be made. Although the XOOM seems like a very nice little toy.

does it fit in our pocket?.....i rest my case
congrats tho. i would pick it up but i dont need another tablet. the tab does almost everything i need.

What puts me off is not being able to increase the memory capacity.
I find it limiting as it is with a 32GB Micro SD Card in my current Tab.
EDITED
By that I am referring to the fact the new Tab does not have an external memory slot.
The Xoom needs to have it's MicroSD Card activated at a later date.

cant take it in my jacket, too big for me...waiting for honey port with my 7'' sweety

Nice! If only I had enough money......

Very nice device...But a bit on the lofty side. Kind of rules out the portability factor when comparing it to the SGT.
Ich liebe mein SGT!

No pocket, no care.

With that thin bezel, I already predict a lot of "dropped" XOOMs in the coming weeks.

well can you?!?!

The Xoom looks great. New electronics are always fun. Unboxing, powering up, etc. New OS version! I will say though that I too prefer the 7" form factor. You know how some people use both thumbs to text on their phones? I can't do that with a phone, but that's how I type on my Tab. I can respond to emails lickety split. Perfect size...
While I'm going here, check out Gun Bros on your Xoom! I bet its bad @55 on the 10.1 screen. I'm addicted to it on the Tab.

Having owned a Viewsonic GTab, I said goodbye the 10.1 inch devices forever. You will get cramps in your thumb (on the hand that holds the device of course) after prolonged periods of trying to hold the device comfortably. It was annoying also trying to carry it around and as a woman it should be easy since I can just throw it in my purse.
While the Xoom looks nice, I need the 7" form factor. The Tab fits all of my needs (especially since it's my primary phone).

Can you compare the browser and UI experience versus GTab? Is Honecomb really GPU accelerated like iOS?
Thx!

I'll stick with my tab as it fits in my jacket pocket witn no problems.
A larger version for me is verging on just getting a netbook

For me:
Pros: 10" screen, Honeycomb
Cons: Weight, cost
I really cannot justify an $800 tablet when I can get the SGT or the Dell Streak 7 with 4g for $500.
And the weight is just too heavy. I like to read eBooks and the SGT is about as heavy as I want. I tried an iPad and quickly realized I had to hold it with two hands and even then it became a pain. Same with the Xoom.
But, I think the Xoom is very cool and I hope you enjoy yours. I am sure you will.

I still sticked to a 8.9 tablet, Im kind of tired of resizing every web page on my galaxy tab to actually read it, on the iPad(or a 10.1) no resize is needed

hmm i might have to try the xoom out

waiting for the G-slate 8.9 inch , 3d, honeycomb, Lg and samsung r almost the same anyway. look at lg optomus 2x and galaxys

Will you sell your TF for the tab 10.1

Will you consider selling your TF for a tab 10.1 even though it doesn't have micro SD slot?

nope, hasn't even crossed my mind.

Nope. I might still buy it thought.

Noooo. Thats the whole reason I didnt wait to get the 10.1. No microSD = no dice.

no is the answer. why would i?

Nope. Why would I?

Not a chance. What would I use the awesome keyboard dock with?

I'm quite happy with my TF as well. I owned the Xoom before this.

the thought did cross my mind, but I guess you can say sanity prevailed!!
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

Naw, pretty happy with my TF. If there is one thing I'd want to change is the weight. It gets heavy after awhile since I use it as an ereader mainly.

the price difference in addition to the sd card issue makes it no contest for me

If I can't get a transformer with no bleed... The 10.1 screen looks even more gorgeous

No.
The only reason I bought a Honeycomb tablet is the cheap price of the Transformer. With the lack of dedicated tablet apps I wouldn't pay any more for a Honeycomb tablet right now... with all the bugs too, it's not worth the price.

The tab also has no USB and no keyboard dock.
Why are people buying the tab when they wouldn't buy the xoom
They both do less than a transformer and they're way ovepriced.

No way I´m selling my TF... I might buy a Samsung tab (8.9) for my wife though.
I always doubted the usefulness of a tablet and after a week with my TF I´m using it far more docked than without being docked.

I think I'll just keep my TF and wait for the next generation(tablet using Kal-El or sth better).I even have ordered a sleeve for my TF.

Originally I wanted to buy the Galaxy 10.1 and was determined to wait.
But ... the presence of a microSD slot, incorporated GPS receiver, the docking station and most important the price (and it's not some cheapo never before heard of company) biased me towards TF. And I am more than happy. So no, I will not sell my TF.
The TF allowed me to hop onto the pad frenzy (no, I don't have the iPad1/2 though always wanted one).
The following months will bring the heat on to the market as more tabs are released. Giving us a plethora of solutions to chose. In the mean time I can sit on the couch and thank ASUS!
PS: I am surprised that so little people talk about the GPS receiver on TF. Seems I am one the the few that trully appreciates such a feature and I have to admit, I stick this in the face of iPad owners

All the chat in the mainstream press is going to be about the tab 10.1, however when it comes to it, I think the Transformer is much better value. The main things being the Micro-SD slot and more importantly (well for me) is the dock. I think the dock concept is awesome.
Now if someone was to ask me if I would get the 3G Transformer, or the Asus slider (which are reported to be coming out in a few months), the question becomes harder.

It is available for preorder at Negri Electronics for 750USD (a little steep imho)!

So, after many speculation it has a QUAD core CPU, 2GB RAM and a 5MP Camera. The only drawback is the 720 screen, not 1080, but anyway it is the perfect tablet imho, you can do everything with it!.
Will you buy it, and why?

That's WAY too expensive for a tablet.
Especially since it is a 16GB. They can't compete with prices like that.

lol 750 USD? this is gonna be a joke.

A Watcom digitizer is alone 200$ and when the tablet will be available on proper retail channels it will be around 550$. So, under that price it will worth every penny.

If the pen is not necessary, this is a subpar tablet. The TF700 is better.

This is the only thing that makes me want the tablet, SPen, and also Samsung build quality, i own the Prime and i know what i am talking about. TF700 suffers the same I/O problems like TF201.

I have been saving since introduction of first iPad to buy this. I have used windows tablets with wacom pens and only I know how frustrating that is.
Sent from GNote.

For that money they could provide NFC ...i don't understand the omission, you could pair it with your phone easily, Nexus 7 has it. At least it has BT 4.0.

it's a beautiful tablet with a great specs and s-pen but it's a little bit expensive.
i wonder what for the infra-red, remote control what, note 2 maybe?! samsung smart tv maybe?

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 also has IR for the control of TVs and other IR enabled devices.

BTW, this device has the Apt-x codec for bluetooth audio (also BT 4.0 I believe). This codec works great and is sort of rare right now. OS X has it built in but it's sometimes difficult to use (other codecs compete, for some reason). Anyway, there is presently only a handful of devices that use this. I want it as I own a Soundmatters Foxl that uses this codec. It works well and sounds better than regular bluetooth audio (which is marginal).
Note: It's interesting that OS X has this codec but iOS does not. Lame. Also, it's apparently one of the only Android device that uses it.

I hope it does have exFat support (ntfs in my dreams .. ), my Prime has it.

Nice commercial:

What is it that you are missing?

Strange, why no 1080p? This one is top of the line Samsung tablet at the moment, should got at least 1080p. 1280x800 for 10.1" tablet is so yesteryear imo. Battery concern? Mali-400 can't handle 1080p?

When I sit down and give it a bit more thought perhaps I am being over critical...I just can't get excited yet! Will have to wait and see how it fairs in hands on reviews. I just hope the S Pen calibration is improved over the N7000. As a left handed user I find it pretty poor and the continuous cycle of having to reset the 'left handed' calibration option in the pen options is just frustrating, especially on a device designed to work with a pen! A slight bump in screen resolution and processor speed would have been a nice touch, though on balance these aren't necessarily going to be deal breakers.

I really don't need 1080 screen resolution...it comes with age (worse eye site)
As for pen, it's something different because it has 1024 pressure levels, not just 256 like our Note does.
Another selling point for me is the inclusion of 2GB of RAM, dreaming of dual booting in Ubuntu (or in worst case WinRT which needs a lot of RAM).

Sorry for the slight off topic but Touch Screen Tune from the market sorts out calibration. Does need root.

Also, if i activate the pen cursor in ICS i don't feel the need for any calibration.

Samsung BT S-Pen

Samsung has unveiled a new variant of the S-Pen, which comes bundled with all Note devices, called the BT S-Pen (BT standing for Bluetooth). It is, as far as I am aware, a regular S-Pen (albeit much larger for greater comfort) that connects to your Note device via Bluetooth and allows you to utilise it as a wireless-headset of sorts. Although bundled with pre-release test units of the Note 10.1 for journalists at their press conference, it simply utilises the regular technology of our Note 5.3 devices' S-Pens with Bluetooth to enable it to make and receive calls (meaning that it should work on the Note GT-N7000). Since one of the major complaints of the Note is the embarrassment of holding it up to your ear to make a phone call, I think this S-Pen is a fantastic accessory for the Note series. It can be charged via a Micro-USB port connected to the Note devices and apparently has 130 hours of standby time or 3 hours of talk time (not the best, but if you are like me and don't make too many calls that isn't a problem). Having been wanting a larger S-Pen to use around the house (the small one is fine out and about, but at home something larger would undeniably be more comfortable), this seems perfect. I shall be shelling out the cash for one as soon as it is available here in the UK, unless it is ridiculously priced. Who else likes the look of this?
Read the article here!

Link?

Completely off-topic, but am I the only one finding the Note's community drastically dwindling? This is such a shame as, despite not having the best specification around in terms of raw power, the Note is still a very capable device and I think there are untapped opportunities for applications that would be useful when out of the house (hence, no good for a tablet which often are more reserved to home use and not a general pop to the store) but would not work on a regular phone's screen. In a way, I wish Samsung wasn't unveiling a Note 2 in a matter of days in Berlin. Since I am on contract and won't be able to upgrade till over a year, it's a shame to see the community here dwindling - and things will only be worse once the Note 2 is released.

Hopefully so. Since the S2 is apparently getting Jelly Bean, there is almost a definitive chance the Note will get Jelly Bean also! Let's just hope that Samsung finally fix the brick bug, which is a great cripple towards ROM development, eh?

Okay, so this is pretty cool. But I think it is suppose to be MORE for the Note 10.1 than the phone Note because it's huge, that wouldn't be comfortable or practical at all for our phone.

pretty cool.. hope it comes as a part of note 2...

Weird. I think I would rather be seen talking into a slightly large phone than a pen.

I don't know how practical the Bluetooth pen will be. If your talking to someone with the pen, it's going to be very hard to use it to take notes or whatever.
And one handed operation on the note 5" our 10.1" wrote holding the pen to your ear is going to be impossible to do.
I guess it's only practical if you don't want to pull out the note from your pocket.
I still think head sets or earpiece are the way to go for hands free talking

sounds cool, but does anyone actually use the s=pen that comes with the phone ? when i was using my note as my full time phone ( dont really use it anymore ) i think i used the pen for the first 2 days and haven't pulled it out in at least 6 months

Betting on the right horse is a blast.

Had some idle time, went to a local electronics shop.
Browsed through the mega offering of tablets.
Left utterly convinced that the 7.7 still is heaps ahead of anything offered there.

I don't necessarily love that.
....It's just that Samsung is clearly the front innovator here.
As soon as they step up product manufacturing quality and get their commercial vector to focus, they will be on their way to absolute "portable communications + media devices" market dominance (...they may need to get someone new to achieve that focus...).
Myself, I am thinking about this:

Flexible is one thing but can a crease be made in the display by accidentally folding it?

My wifi 7.7 finally came in yesterday. Thing is leaps and bounds over the Nexus 7 I had. Screen is absolutely superb and the speakers are great. Best part is I dont have to worry about it falling apart in my hand like that dam Nexus. When I got it out of the box it was on HC but immediately flashed up a message for the jump to ICS. Im really surprised how smooth it runs on ICS. Ive tweaked it to my liking and disabled some of the crap. But all in all im extremely pleased with it.

Considering my N7 was 250 and my 7.7 was only 270 through Verizon with mobile data for $10 a month with no contract plus a way better screen, better build quality, and looks way better totally worth it. Tegra 3 isn't all that. I don't mind the lack of development so much but I really wish samsung would support this like it really should. There are tabs still being released as new with similar hardware specs and have jelly bean and will still get updated. This tab really shouldn't of had HC out of the box when it was released IMO.

In 11 days I will have owned this for 1 year and I am blown away that there is not yet a tablet I would prefer over this one. The Note 8 would be nice, but without the AMOLED screen, I still prefer the 7.7.
