Q. for me, i think it's Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 because i can play, watch movies, design pictures and even use it in education!
A. O.S:
Android. If you want Windows 8 stick away from them for a while this video will explain everything very well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_wrAzhVKPw . or just avoid the surface RT tablets due to software compatability issues and wait for the tablets with x86 processors to become available. Don't go with Apple unless you understand other options and better value (my opinion).
Most powerful:
Asus transformer. Great design, powerful hardware and most up to date Android OS. Can do everything the Galaxy note can bet better and faster. 10-11 inches. hefty price tag though. can be used in conjunction with a keyboard for word prossecing and other educational uses.
Portable:
this would go to the Nexus 7. Excellent size and powerful hardware as well as feeling great during use. Dimesions are proportioate and a variety of cases are available. Asus made and google marketed and funded to make quality control at utmost importance. cheap and high quality ($250 AUD). beware that it is in its first genereation and educational uses may be impractacul.
Tips:
Avoid any unknown O.S.' (Operating Systems). The most well known and the best are Android, iOS and Symbian with the most progressing and future proof being Android. Unknown O.S' (e.g. some HP tablets include an unheard of O.S") have limited app support so hardly anything is developed for them due to limited market.
Shop around. Spending time researching your purchase is always a good idea. Get the best deal and don't forget about added costs of accesories, warranties and software. Check that the product your looking for has the desired accessories available and at least has as little proprietary ports as possible, but that is not a nesscity.
Avoid gimmics. Don't by a tablet because you can do a task that has limited capability. i for example chose the 3-d option on my laptop but find myself hardly using it. if you are comparing 2 or more tablets and one has more practical functionality than go for it.
Storage and compatability tips:
if you must decide on 2 similar tablets, i would choose the one with external storage capability. This means you could but a micro sd card into the machine and expand your storage.beware of the Andorid market as each different model or brand will likely feature different chargers or device connecters.
Other tips:
- Buy within your budget. Don't splurge to get the bleeding edge, get what you require. most tablets will fit your requirements of video, picture editing and educative uses.
- Avoid first generations. They can sometimes be buggy or low on features when compared to other tablets.
if you're looking for mobile internet connectivity, possibly get your tablet on a plan.
cheers and hope this helped and sorry for the miss spellings, i was in a rush :P
Now the iPad mini compared with Samsung Galaxy Note 2 series N7100, which should I get?
Q. Recently, the hot topic of iPad mini and the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 series N7100 talked by people. I want buy one of them. which is better, which should I buy?
A. They are really not comparable since the IPad Mini is a Tablet (the outdated IPad 2 shrunken down into a smaller case with IOS 6) where as the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 series is a phone. You are getting more for your money since getting the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Series since you get...
1) Much faster (1980(Galaxy Note II) vs IPad 2 benchmark of 755 [Note: IPad Mini is basically an IPad 2 shrunken down])
2) Micro SD Card Slot for Memory Expansion
3) A 5.5 inch screen vs 7.9 Inch on the IPad Mini.
4) NFC (Near Field Communication (Not on IPad Mini)
5 ) 8MP and 1.9MP cameras vs (IPad Mini: 5MP and 720p cameras) Note: 1MP = 1024p so 720p is less than 1MP.
6) Up to 35 Hours talk time and 980 Hours of Standby time (IPad Mini only has 10 hours of battery life, not a phone so that is the only comparison)
7) 267 ppi (Pixels per Inch) vs 162 ppi on IPad Mini
a better comparison would be the IPhone 5 to the Samsung Galaxy Note since the IPhone 5 is Apple's Latest phone, here is the comparison there...
1) the ability to make phone calls
2) faster (1980(Galaxy Note II) vs IPhone 5 benchmark of 1601)
3) Micro SD Card Slot for Memory Expansion (Not on Phone 5)
4) A 5.5 inch screen vs 4 inch on the IPhone 5.
5) NFC (Near Field Communication (Not on IPhone 5)
6 ) 8MP and 1.9MP cameras vs (IPhone 5i: 8MP and 1.2MP cameras) Up to 35 Hours talk time and 980 Hours of Standby time vs (Iphone 5 Up to 8 hours of talk time and 225 hours of Standby Time)
7) 267 ppi (Pixels per Inch) vs 326 ppi on IPhone 5 (IPhone 5 is a smaller screen)
Are you looking for a smartphone or a tablet? The Samsung Galaxy Note II is both a smartphone/tablet where the IPad's are just tablets.. Are you looking to connect it to wifi or 3g/4g networks?
If you are looking for wifi only option (my guess is that you are looking for 3g/4g), I would take a look at a Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire HD. They are both much better price points at $200. Plus the Nexus 7 is 2x faster than the IPad Mini at 1495-1591 geekbench, the Kindle Fir HD 7 is approx 1000- 1100 geekbench (1 1/2 times faster)
Does anyone have the samsung galaxy nexus for Verizon, what's your experience?
Q. I was standing in the Verizon store debating between the I phone 4 s and the nexus. I read reviews on the nexus saying that battery life is horrible, like 4 hours with the extender battery. I walked out with the I phone, but I think I'm an android person. I was wondering what are your experiences with the galaxy nexus? Thanks
A. I have the Nexus and I love it. My last phone was the HTC Incredible, and I chose it on specs alone, and I was wrong in doing so. The best thing about the Galaxy Nexus is the lack of manufacturer meddling with the operating system. This means updates will be faster and more reliable, and without all the junk the phone runs faster than some phones with higher specs.
As far as the battery life, I too was worried, but even with the regular battery it's not too bad. I did get the extended battery however and I'm pleased with it. I don't make many calls, but on average if I take my phone off the charger before leaving for work I can do 15 min of music streaming on the way to work in the car, do roughly another 30 minutes of web browsing during breaks, and watch a 45 minute show on Netflix during lunch (which uses about 200-300 mb, in case you don't have the old unlimited plan) and the whole time I'm going in and out of 4G signal (through no fault of the phone) and still I have 40-50% left on my battery when I get home.
As I write this, according to the battery info in Android 4.0 my phone has been on battery power for 13 hours and 49 minutes and it still has 44% left. The screen accounts for 49% of the total drain, Android OS for 19%, Phone idle 14%, Cell Standby 12% and everything else 3% or less. Keep in mind this is with the extended battery.
The only thing some people may have a problem with is the camera. It's not the camera the 4S has, and indeed my old HTC had a better camera but it has some cool things like near-instant shutter speed and panoramic mode. Hands down it takes the cake on everything else though.
