Q. I'm finding a tablet that can be used as a phone with SMS messaging and call support like the samsung galaxy tab 7.0 plus...
Is there any other models or brand that has the same features?...
Price is not an issue...I just need info...
Thanks in advance!
Regards!
In addition, I need unlocked versions... :)
A. I can give you two choices ..... new android 4.0 tablets now available. Those tablet are the "iPad killers" and supporting SMS messaging with the "mySMS" application.
- Cube U9GT2 (16GB) ~249$
- ONDA vi40 Elite (16GB) ~289$
Both the Onda VI40 Android 4.0 IPS Capacitive tablet PC and the Cube U9T2 ICS have very similar specifications and features. First is the 9.7" Capacitive multi-touch IPS screen.
Onda made its name way back in 2008 when it released a 4.3" touch screen mp4 player that please called an iPod Touch wannabe or alternative. This model did well, but the marketing and product development of the company went astray.
This is why I was both suprised and happy to be reviewing first 9.7" Android 4.0 tablet PC by Onda, the VI40 Elite Edition Tablet PC. Boasting 9.7-inch 1024 x 768 capacitive multi-touch IPS display it seems to be 5-point touch. It adopts the fastest yet 1.5GHz ARM Cortex-A10 processor with Mali-400 GPU (graphics processor).
The onda VI40 Elite tablet also packs dual cameras, a 1.3 Mega Pixel front-facing camera and a 5.0M pixel rear-facing camera. More the VI40 supports 2160p Super HD video playback.
It has a 6500mAh battery giving you around 4.5 to 5 hours of internet surfing time.
The Cube U9GT2 also has a 9.7" IPS screen but with a more responsive 10-point multi touch screen. The processor is not as fast but will do the job clocking in at 1.2GHz on a Rockchip RK2918 CPU.
In addition to a better screen, the Cube Android 4.0 Tablet also has 16gb of built-in memory compared to Onda's 8gb. The Cube tablet also has larger 8000mah battery for 6 hours of internet surfing or "10 hours music, 4 hours video, 5 hours wifi."
The Cube doesn't have a 5mp camera but it does have dual 2 mega pixel cameras for quality photos and video from front and back.
The Onda VI40 Elite may prove to rule supreme as today's android tablet forum enthusiasts like the cheapest deal, even if the battery only gets an hour less usage from a full charge.
Both have microSD card slots so one could buy a memory card to make up for the 8gb of memory the Onda so dearly misses.
Last thought, the Apple iPad 2 should be wetting its pants now. Both of these tablets are more powerful and have just as responsive capacitive screens. Not to mention extra goodies like dual cameras and open source Ice Cream Sandwich. Yum!

Should I wait until the ipad mini 2 comes out?
Q. My birthday is this week and I've been wanting a tablet for quite some time now...
I am wondering whether I should wait a little more and get the ipad mini 2 or the samsung galaxy tab (the 7-inch screen one) when they come out. Should I wait or do you think it's not worth the wait and that I should just buy it now so it's a little cheaper? Also, which is better, ipad mini or samsung galaxy tab?
Thanks!
A. Just go ahead and get the Galaxy tab 2. Better bang for buck.
Review from an owner of Galaxy tab 2, should be helpful on this decision:

Galaxy tab 2 10.1" has advantages like:
- 1Gb RAM (over 512MB RAM of iPad mini)
- microSD slot
- GPS
- Lower price tag
Rest of the features like processor, screen etc are pretty much the same.
Bestselling model for Galaxy tab 2:

While iPad Mini has pros like:
- Better camera with 1080p and front facing HD camera (instead of 720p on Galaxy tab and VGA front facing camera)
- Bigger screen

Can i connect my samsung galaxy tab 2 to A television?
Q. I have a 7 inch tablet is there an official accessory for this?
A. you can connect it wireless if you have a smart tv, or you can look for a cable to connect it to a HDMI cable
something like http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EPL-3PHPBEGSTA
but if you have the tab 2 7.0 I believe you have to look for a different cable
