Home » Samsung Galaxy Keyboard 7 » is there an app that I can use on my cell phone as a keyboard and/or mouse for my tablet?

is there an app that I can use on my cell phone as a keyboard and/or mouse for my tablet?

Q. I have a samsung tablet 2 and first generation samsung galaxy s. Thank you.

A. You have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.0 Correct? 7.0? 10.1?

I'm uncertain if you can use your Galaxy S as a Keyboard...but I believe you can use a mouse with your tablet. The Tab 2.0 has built-in Bluetooth, so it may be possible (I cannot guarantee) to connect a Bluetooth mouse to it. There are Bluetooth wireless keyboards in the market as well...

Assuming this is the same for most Android based (Ice cream Sandwich 4.0 and up) tablets, connecting a mouse to the device would configure the mouse buttons to the tablet's..."settings." What I mean is the buttons will NOT be the same as how you use it on a PC.

Examples:
- Right-Click does not bring up properties/options, but is the "Back" button
- Clicking the left-click button is like you tapping the screen
- Holding the left-click button down makes the option (Open new Tab, Save Image, etc) menu pop-up

Keep note, I do not own a Samsung Tablet, but I do own an ASUS Transformer Tablet (TF300T). I own the optional full-key keyboard attachment for it...and I was able to connect a wired & wireless mouse via USB port, and the mouse worked without issues. No drivers, nothing.

Bluetooth wireless mouse should be the same concept.

Original Question

What is the best brand of tablet with the most features and biggest screen size?
Q. I am not a fan of the ipad but am interested to see what people think is the best tablet on the market NOT including the ipad (which i think is priced too high and popular due to consumer hype.) I am in the market for one but got overwhelmed when I went to the store. What tablet has the best features, memory, screen size etc. At the store I played with the samsung tablet and blackberry but I don't know much about either. thanks

A. Apple achieves high levels of fit and finish on their products, but, yes, they're relatively expensive. It sounds like you'd prefer the more open approach of Android tablets, which also happen to have much better cameras than the iPad. That's certainly fine. Here are some other considerations...

If cellular service is important, you may want to consider which tablet your favorite carrier supports:

Verizon:Galaxy Tab 10.1, iPad 2, Xoom, and Galaxy Tab

T-Mobile:G-Slate, Streak 7, and Galaxy Tab

Sprint:PlayBook and Galaxy Tab

AT&T:iPad 2 and Galaxy Tab

None:Eee Slate, Slate 500, TouchPad, Thrive, Eee Pad TF101, Iconia Tab A500, Archos 101, Archos 70, and NOOK Color

For overall value, the ASUS Eee Transformer (TF101) has surprisingly good specs for under $400: Android 3.1, 10.1 inch 1280x800 IPS (like iPad, but bigger and higher resolution) display, up to 9 hours of battery life (16 hours if optional dock added), optional ability to dock with keyboard, 1 GHz Tegra 250 ARM CPU with 1 GB RAM, good array of ports (mini HDMI, SD, micro SD), preloaded Polaris Office 3.0 for editing documents (.doc), spreadsheets (.xls) and presentation (.ppt) files. Note, though, no 3G (however people report success in tethering it to smart phones).

If Windows OS compatibility or a digitizer pen is important to you, go for the ASUS Eee Slate or HP Slate 500. The biggest differences between those are that the ASUS has a better display (12.1 inch AFFS 1280x800) than the HP (8.9 inch TFT 1024x600) but is larger, heavier and more expensive.

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the thinnest (0.336 inches) and lightest (1.25 lbs) the big-screen (greater than 9 inch) tablets.

If high-end video recording is important to you, consider the LG G-Slate or BlackBerry PlayBook, both of which can record at 1080p. The still cameras on those devices are pretty good too: G-Slate has Dual 5 MP rear cameras and a 2MP front camera; PlayBook has 5MP front and 3MP rear cameras.

Motorola Xoom: Heavier and thicker than both the iPad or Galaxy Tab, the Xoom's advantage is that it has HDMI out and micro USB ports. It also has a 5MP rear camera compared to Tab's 3MP and iPad's lousy 0.7MP.

Samsung galaxy s3 or blackberry playbook?
Q. I don't if I should get the Samsung galaxy s3 with OTG small mouse and keyboard or blackberry playbook with keyboard mouse combo for work. Either will only go off of wifi directly. I will be running vmware so not sure how either work with mouse input.

A. get the blackberry playbook it really is an amazing tablet
its way better than the ipad for example and it's better than it in every way
on the playbook you've got a 7" screen with good resolution
colors and text look very good on the screen
the speaker on the playbook is also very good
the sound is high and clear
so the playbook can be used as your own small private theatre
the playbook runs in os2.1 which is amazing its fast and very smooth and it's way better and faster than iOS or android
the tablet offers true mutlitasking so for example you can shoot a video then go to play a game when you come back you find that the video would still be shooting
the web browser is amazing
its very fast and it also supports flash
so you can have the full desktop sites experience on your tablet
the in screen keyboard is also very good and you would have no problem typing in it
typing on the playbook is no problem at all
battery life is also very good
the playbook also has dual cameras the front facing camera on the playbook alone is better than most if not all tablets back facing camera
and both of them are capable of taking full 1080p HD videos
the playbook is available in 3 versions the 16,34 and 64 gb
and it also is the most secure tablet
it's also cheap
hope I helped :)
tell me if you decided to get it
and if you got any question or need any help you can email me at spieleranswers@outlook.com
