Considering they can't even GIVE the HP TouchPad away, and Acer have struggled to make enough Iconia's to cover the demand, I'm kinda dubious about that chart's numbers.
I will believe people want the iPad, mainly due to advertising and people being morons.

I was about to post that yesterday. I don't think the chart is true since HP has not sold over 10% of its touchpads and I do not know anyone who even knows about the touchpad. If there was better advertising the Iconia might be farther up the chart.

+100000....

I question that graphs validity.
I find it very hard to believe that more people would choose the Playbook or flyer, over the Acer.

I agree with you guys. Both acer and asus have been struggling to keep up with their product demands. My gf had to wait a month to get her docking station for her transformer. And yet they put the asus and acer at the low end of the graph. Gee, I wonder who funded the study... Heck, even the moto xoom couldn't sell that well. Their vice president even said their sales figures have been "underwhelming".
I'll tell you this much. When I got my iconia, I had to drive out of my way to get it. I talked to managers from 3 stores. They got plenty of xoom. They couldn't supply enough iconias and transformers. And I wasn't the only one asking about them.
Edit.
This article is still bad news for the iconia and transformer, though. It shows that most mojos out there don't know anything except the word "ipad".

I also question this mainly because I really struggled to get my Acer in our country.
It only came in stock a couple of months ago. I had to get mine from Germany.

Well most people here in the US love Charlie Sheen, but I don't give a damn about it. So ok , most people want an iPad, but what they are buying is the important, and I see that Android is doing fine, even with all this fragmentation and all market issues (some have , other not). Of course iPad is right now the king, is a closed system, controlled by Apple, software, hardware, music, films, applications... But if Google repairs the damage done with the 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 android versions at the same time and the market fiasco, they gonna be the next king.
Right now at my home we have 3 tablets and 3 phones, none of the from Apple, but Android.

..but good news for android, which is all I care about. I calculate around 26%, not counting "other", which is good and will only climb.

If the poll on the right-hand side of this page (http://hcapps.blogspot.com/) is truly indicative, it seems the Iconia is DOMINATING the android tablet market!

The study used for this article only had a sample size of 1114. That seems kind of small.
Edit: actually that table itself is only based on 531 people.

Can you show me advertising push for the wifi only tablets, only time I see zoom is on tv with verizon

It's amazing how biased that report is. It's probably as bad as how biased consumer reports has gotten.

Who came up with that poll????........ Apple

insane
The sample size that this poll is based from is a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction of a tiny group of a few people.
Would have purchased an ipad myself - but things like MicroSD, custom rom images, over clocked kernels, full size USB support, Adobe Flash support, and a truly hackable customized device kept me from considering the current apple tablets.
Sure, they move more units. That does not in any way mean they are "Better" units.
The simple fact is - i cannot be the only be the only person smart enough to compare features and check the specs before purchasing the product - but no one has ever and probably will never ask me to be part of any group of hardware owners that results in silly charts like this.

So how many more would you have sold if you didn't run out? I'm guessing another 5 more based on another BestBuy metric -- go online and checkout their tablets sorted by bestselling.
1. iPad2 16GB Black
2. iPad2 32GB Black
3. iPad2 16GB White
4. iPad2 64GB Black
5. Iconia 16 GB
6. iPad2 32GB White
7. iPad2 64GB Black 3G
8. iPad2 32GB Black 3G
9. Coby Tablet ($180 7" tablet)
10. Galaxy 16 GB
11. HP TouchPad
12. Galaxy 32 GB
I guess this does measure something different than that original survey. The first is asking as much about name recognition. When asked to name a tablet, the most well known one will get named the most. But when you go out there and actually see what $180 dollars (Coby), $300 (Iconia), and $500 (iPad) gets you, the Acer picture changes a bit.

Acer's new quad core tablet, the A200

Acer launched a private video of their new quad core ICS tablet, and guess what, I got the link!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tD3vTHeaaI&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Update: Turns out that its the same old tegra 2 after all, with all the same feature of our A500 but lighter!

thanks for sharing! Looks like Acer will finally have their own tablet UI rather than vanilla. The buttons look nice, and the ring is interesting

I must have missed where it stated in the video that it was a quad core tegra 3
" Acer has spilled the beans on its upcoming Iconia A200 tablet in a melancholic promotional video.
The new tablet was spotted a few weeks ago by some keen observers over at androidcommunity.com, but now we can finally see it in action.
What sets the Iconia A200 apart from most upcoming Android tablets is that it is a rather frugal device, clearly aimed at the value market. However, it still packs a 10-inch 1280x800 screen and Tegra 2 processor, so it’s hardly underpowered.
The Iconia A200 also features USB connectivity, Bluetooth 2.0 and microSD slot. There is no word on the launch date or pricing for that matter, but it should end up on the cheap side."
http://www.fudzilla.com/notebooks/item/25013-acer-leaks-iconia-a200-tablet
" Credited for posting the video on YouTube, a French blogging site called iLoveTablette.com (English translation) offered a few more specs on the A200.
Powered by an Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, the tablet will offer 1GB of RAM and sport a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. Weighing just 1.5 pounds, the A200 will be lighter than its A500 predecessor. And it will be offered in a choice of two colors: black titanium or metallic red."

I just watched this video and what's really funny is that Motorola stole the Iconias look with the xoom 2 and Acer stole the Xooms look. Crazy

Got hands-on with one. Missing docking port, rear camera, and HDMI out. Also, no fake SIM slot. Front camera is centered on a long side instead of an inch from the edge on a short side.

according to all the posts and forums and web videos etc.. the A200 is Tegra2 i.e. dual core. The biggest thing about the A200 is it will come with ICS more ore less out of the box. It will ship with 3.2.1 but an OTA update should be available by ship date.

I had this tab for 48 hours. I have the 500 and 100 so I figured I'll take this for a test drive. I have to say its the best feeling tab out. The back is like butter. Performance wise nothing different. Custom widget is actually good. Screen appears to be better then the 500. The reason why I didn't keep it was no HDMI which I use while traveling to watch Netflix in the hotel. Or at home I sometimes will hook my tab up to TV and use my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse for internet TV. Or if it had a dock port that would have been acceptable. give it 2 months this tab will be 250-275 all day.
Just a side note while returning this tab I was able to get a open Sammy 8.9 for 350. Never thought I would like it and its pretty good. Especially since the mic works (with BT head set too) now I can Skype.

Asus needs to slow their roll n make sure all their current devices working properly..lmfao they trying to pump out new tablets left n right. This would make like 3-4 new tablets Asus is making.

All the french text says is that it looks like the Prime (TF201) from the front, and the back feels similar to the original Transformer (TF101).

I bet you it's just the 3g version but why would they upgrade the camera... It might be the TF201 lite to... And be a cheaper model hence the back plate being plastic and it having a beastly camera!

Hmmm...maybe a redesigned prime with complete plastic backcover like OG Transformer? It'll be interesting to see what the specs are if this truly is a prime, internals wise. Either way Asus setting themselves up for more outrage from current owners if this is a truly redesigned one. First the tf-700 then now this...I'm sure an exchange program is in the works or something if they addressing the issues n redesigning the device. With it being under warranty, it be in their best long term interest to just replace sent in units with newer model ones. It'll cost them less in the long run. Will be keeping an eye out for further details on this.

Prime power button on top also.

Same place as the Prime.

Lytos was shopping their light field camera to phone/tablet makers. Any chance it has one of those?

well, i'm glad i got rid of my 201. if this is exactly the same, but cheaper and with good wifi/gps, i'll consider buying it

Based on the mention of GPS and improved design, it could be an updated version of the Prime to deal with the wireless issues. With the 7" at $249 and the TF700 at $599 it could make sense that the TF300 would be at $399-449 and have less features than the TF700 (and the current Prime). It would make no sense from a cost perspective for Asus to have the TF101, TF201, TF300, and TF700 all in production at the same time. My guess is only two will survive.
Here's the translation:
The deformation of another new Asus Tablet TF300T debut, is it new or improved supreme?
Well, so much to see in my colleague's sake, plus about addiction science and technology group, but fans were right XD.
What is this? The new Asus Tablet is it? Yesterday, my colleague from the strong to get information (colleagues from friends over there to get the message), as a concentric design. As confirmed to the model TF300T, coupled with Extreme deformation of the plate before the GPS, I think they would not be a simple flat deformation of the new color version of the Extreme. Well is a new product to either need a flat deformation Supreme improved design.
In addition, the above figure, there is some light to have a long white sheet, which is called the TF201's Extreme deformation of plates, is similar with the iPad 2 speaker design (refer to pure looks), but has now become a long I do not know whether it will still be speaker.
In short you can see, ASUS Android tablet is indeed spent a great deal of effort, the first half of this year, to see the TF700 and TF300 deformed plate, wow Woo, machine sea come, do not know this will not be on MWC happen? Oh Yes, Oh foundry for the Wistron. After the jump you can see the evidence (certification date is January 19, it seems TF300T should be listed on a fast?)

Okay, so, yeah, if ASUS comes out with essentially a Prime with a plastic backplate, then there will definitely (and rightfully so) be a ****storm. I can't imagine that they wouldn't at least quietly offer a trade-in program. I didn't feel that way about the T700, because it's a different device completely, but if this one is similar spec-wise to the Prime, then... well... yeah.

There had better be a program that offers a trade-in, or something in order to compensate for our "suffering" and money spent on a semi-faulty product.

If that's the final design, someone mentioned the absence of flash for the camera. If it's a lower-spec Prime and priced less, Asus could say it's not a different Prime but an entirely new model. Since price sells non-Apple tablets, it (to me) makes sense to leave the TF700 as the high-end flagship and offer a second value-based offering with a bigger price differential to compete at the low/middle end. From a production perspective it doesn't make sense to offer a $399, $499, and $599 10.1" tablet. A $399/449 mid-range tablet and a $599 high-end tablet would represent solid and competitive 10.1" tablet offerings. It would also align with the killer $249 price they've put on the 7". All pure conjecture of course.

One thing is for sure, Asus driving everyone crazy with all these new tablet announcements very similar n spec to Prime. Seeming like Asus just don't give a @?!#&..lol. and covering all corners of the market to increase their sales/profits. Unless a trade in option, ill be keeping my prime. These new ones don't entice me to want a new device. People with problematic ones, I can understand.

This is in no way a downgrade to the prime! It has to be an upgrade with that new RGBW cmos sensor and not require a flash... Everything else is in the same place as the prime....
Other than the backplate it is just an upgraded camera! Unless it has something hidden we can't see...
But this is odd.. Maybe someone just put a skin on their prime lol! And forgot to cut the camera hole

S2110

Anyone know of an S2110 review? (Yes, I know it's not a Thinkpad...)

Surprisingly no not a true review
There are some hands on and unboxing videos though

All I need to know is how it stacks up against Asus' TF300T. Assuming they have similar prices, who would you go for? (At this point it looks like I can get one at preferred corporate prices, which means sensibly cheaper than Asus's tablet.)

I received an S2110 only yesterday, and while I haven't owned an Asus TF300T, I've played with them extensively on two occasions.
My take:
I recommend the S2110. While both of these tablets go heavy on the plastic, the Lenovo seems better built to me, and is plenty fast (it's counterintuitive, but I think the APQ8060A in the S2110 feels faster than the Tegra in the EEEPad in real-world use). The keyboards are a wash: both will work well for the occasional content generation. Haven't tested Bluetooth yet, but that's supposed to favor the Lenovo for A/V synch. The only knock I can think of on the S2110 is that a few apps -- notably Flipboard -- don't yet support the tablet, but I think that will change. A discounted price on the Lenovo would pretty much seal the deal for me.
Hope this helps!

Thanks, it looks like I will be receiving mine tomorrow (unless UPS surprises me with an earlier delivery), and unless my wife does not decide to send it back (as we've had some arguments over the opportunity of our purchasing this ). And yes, I did purchase the 32G version including the dock at preferred corporate prices :highfive: The APQ8060A is a Krait-based processor, so it should, indeed, be faster than Tegra3.

Alright, i received mine, and I am completely ecstatic. :highfive: Awesome job Lenovo! Got the 32G version with dock. Minor SW hiccups, but I am hoping to get CM on it soon, or at least Lenovo's JB whenever they get 'round to releasing it.

I just got mine today. Is there a root out for this? I have been looking for about an hour now with no luck.

I had a TF700 and an S2110 for comparison, and sent the Tf700 back.
If you, like me, care alot about the keyboard, ignore all of the comparisons out there and buy the lenovo.
They both have strong points and somehow i would have prefered the transformers look and feel, but the keyboard of the lenovo is actually usable, while the asus one has no resistance. It's a toy, not a keyboard. Also i was surprised about the touchpad of the lenovo actually being ok. Not great, but heaps better then you'd expect after testing the transformer.
If you don't care about keyboards all _that_ much, well then there's alot of differences in how they feel subjectively, and i'd recommend just buying both from amazon and sending one of them back.
Now i still have 20 days to send the ideatab back, in case i don't manage to replace lenovos bloatware with real android.
Fastboot works fine so far. anyone got something to test with fastboot boot?

I didn't hear good things about TF700's storage bottleneck etc., so I think I made the right decision to go for the Lenovo.

is there a way to root the S2110, I see the link but not much talk about success.

New tablet after a Nexus 7? Here is a worthy successor!

Lenovo Tab 4 Plus
http://www.gsmarena.com/lenovo_tab_4_8_plus-8603.php
It's slightly bigger than the Nexus 7, but not so much by comparison, as you can see here from a side by side:

Better specs, clean Android, beautiful screen and very, very well made hardware, with the additional Plus of having an SD-card slot. By now I am on my 4th Nexus 7, which I mainly use use for eBook reading and some casual gaming, but the problems with the USB slot and the easily defective memory are a nuisance and I have been on the market for an alternative for more than 3 years. The Tab 4 for me is that alternative.
I've had it for a couple of days now and while it is not wildly popular (yet), there is already TWRP available AND root through Magisk.
Finally a decent tablet with USB-C, nice hardware, very good screen time (basically sames as the Nexus 7) and an up to date Android version without significant bloatware (Except for Microsoft Office, which you can uninstall easily, since it's not a system app).
I hope to see a thriving community around this tablet; it's worth it and will please those who have been happy with their Nexus 7, but are looking for a more modern piece of hardware as a successor.

Lucky me I am still on the first one from day one ?
Just have to charge wireless since 6 month. Bud there is no factory Image coming so as long as custums are coming I am good to go. But the Lenovo looks promising

nvidia shield tablet....best

So this runs stock Android? If so, may be my next tablet.

I think 2gb is enough for games

AGREED!!!
When i first saw this, i thought, this is the only upgrade to my 4 year old nexus 7....but sadly lenovo did not launch the 4/64 version in India....i don't know what to buy now..iPad looks like the only choice

I'd suggest the Huawei T2 7.0 Pro. I have both it and the Nexus 7. The Huawei is lighter, smaller, better battery, slightly better CPU/GPU, Micro SD slot, fingerprint sensor.
Oh and it can take a micro sim and be used as a cell phone.
The only negatives:
Only works on 2.4ghz wifi
Android 5.01 only currently
No NFC
No wireless charging
Otherwise it is a worthy successor. There are tons of 8" tablets available but for sheer portability (and why the nexus 7 was so popular in the first place), the T2 is a viable option.
Huawei also had the Media Pad X2 7.0 which has far superior hardware but I have been unable to find one to purchase anywhere.
I also used the Nexus 7 primarily as an E-Reader (I have had it with junk E-Ink devices, kobo and kindle are garbage)
but my Nexus 7 has a stuck reboot loop issue if it powers down.

Not only that, it's also got Micro-USB, not USB-C. Deal breaker.
Same goes for the Huawei, Micro USB.
The Lenovo is also availble in an LTE version. I don't need that, got a nice phone with an international contract as hotspot, so no more additional contracts for me, WiFi does the job for me.

The Lenovo does look like a solid device. For me the size though is a no go. Plus I have not seen it for sale anywhere in Canada. No clue what the supposed release date is.

What about superfish?

What tablets run stock Android or very close to? I want a tablet that will get new major Android releases.

Pretty much only the Nexus 7 is stock.
That doesn't seem to matter though. Google discontinued updates on the Nexus 7 after Android 6.0.1.

Agree, and I see no sign of them releasing a new tablet anytime soon.

Ya, I gave up waiting. Hence the Huawei that I have been using.

I just pulled mine out of the closet to check for updates and can't believe it still has a better screen then these Xiaomi phones I keep buying.

As bad as it's going to sound. I'm glad Apple is finally in the wireless charging game. Ya know they're likely to drop an iPad with it soon, and this may inspire the creation of other wireless charging tablets. It's really the only thing holding me back from replacing the Nexus 7 2013.
