is this tablet the best one over any other honeycomb tablet?

I purchased my refurbished tablet on Amazon about a year ago, I use it pretty much daily to stream video, read books and do other odds and ends. I've never had any problems with it. It's very thin and light for the size, the 8.9" is the perfect size for me for my uses. It's too bad they no longer make this one :-(.

Having never used honeycomb, I don't have a basis for comparison. However, I love my GT p7310. Its versatile, error free and easy to use.

An update to Ice Cream Sandwich came out in the fall from Samsung. This tablet is great for my needs but may not be good for someone else. It boils down to what size is a right fit for you? I've not had a single issue with this tablet personally. Any problem I've experienced has been the fault of an app I'm using.

Not familiar w/honeycomb terminology...this tab is ok but i have issues with streaming video....

I can't really judge the other tablets having only owned this one. However, if I were to buy another tablet at this time, I would choose the Samsung Galaxy Tab - GT-P7310 again. I love this tablet for it's size, speed and functions. I have no complaints at all with it.

They just came out with HC Alpha 7.1 with a lot of fixes..I have the 6.0 running and love it. Market is opened up and this version of HC is overclockable to 1.4 Ghz. Will be going to 7.1 soon. Flashback is the way to go on the Gtab if you want Honeycomb. I am also using cpu tuner to overclock it to 1.4Ghz (Performance setting) and it outperforms the Moto Xoom in benchmarks at 1.4 and using only 512 MB of memory vs the Xoom's 1G! This is GREAT!!!

I've noticed no lag at all. Although I installed Nova Launcher which is faster and more easily customized than Samsung's UI. I really like this tablet even though I have MacBook.

At the present time you cannot update this tablet to Android 2.2 (or even 2.1). Unless Velocity Micro decides to make an update of the OS and decides to use Android 2.1 or 2.2 for that upgrade, you will never be able to use the later versions of Android (you could, if you knew how, root the device and try to update the OS -- I don't know how myself, and I believe that there are no instructions on the internet to do so with this tablet. Some users are pessimistic about the likelihood of there being updates that consist of a more modern Android OS. You might want to wait a while until tablets that use Honeycomb come out which should make a tablet much more functional -- since Google is designing Honeycomb to function on tablets. As you know, Android 1 and 2 were made exclusively for cell phones.

Don't waste your money on the Zeki. It is not a good tablet to own. I haven't tried downloading the app that you mentioned but I tried downloading other apps and none of them functioned properly.

I don't know. This tablet is so bad that I only had it for about 2 weeks and became so frustrated with how slow it is that I went out and bought a Nook.I am really happy with the Nook.

I'd have to say for a front facing camera this is the best I've seen. Great quality. Of course everything about this tablet is top notch.

Although tablets are wonderful to work with, if you've never used one before, I reccomend getting a cheaper one before splurging on a really high-end model that you might not end up liking. Graphire3's or 4's are pretty cheap, and you get a really decent tablet for that price. It gives you a launching pad, something cheap to practice with before you commit yourself fully to an expensive one.

All you have to do is turn it on! I've installed all software needed. Press power and start downloading. This will not be the same with the others I've seen posted. The tablet I've posted has upgrades galore. You will NOT be disappointed. This has everything you need all ready to go. I cannot say the same for other tablets posted on this site.

The Xyboard did not come with documentation, however, one can go online and find the needed paperwork. As far as I know, there may be a manufacturer warranty. I am not completely sure. Performance wise, android 3.0 (honeycomb) is horrible. Fortunately, there is an upgrade to 4.0.4 and 4.1.2, which made the Xyboard run much faster. Under ics and jb, you will get a very decent tablet. I use it as a reader, remote control for my televisions, streaming video from the internet, and a remote device for some of my computers.

it has everything better than other tablets, but when put together, it does not seem to work. 16gb on board drive, and mini SD slot which is good for more storage but not good to run applications and reading big movie files is glitchy. Other issues are bad, tight ports which will eventually break and make your tablet useless. No good functional case for these either in the market. will not standard usb 5.0v chargers, like nexus or galaxy so you have carry OEM charger everywhere.

I think you are just being too delicate with it. I have to give mine a little bit of effort to get it in. The other thing is to make sure you are inserting it with the slightly rounded side up (towards the screen side). The flat side (with the two small bumps on it) should be facing down. Lastly, if you are using a Mac computer, you will need to download the Android File Transfer app on your computer (it's a free download from android.com - just google it) to copy files to and from the tablet. For some reason Honeycomb Tablets can not connect to a Mac directly.

see Dgm in answered q. still waiting to buy tf701 till problem with dock clears up. i currently own tf 101 - which is excellent but getting old. by far asus has the best idea in tablets. they need to go back to putting the extra battery in the dock though. tried a t!00 - nice tablet but windows 8.1 is so bad I had to take it back. if you like windows 8.1 you'll like the tablet $379 with dock. im digressing i know

I have the older lepan and it is the best tablet I've owned. Have tried Augen 7 inch, pandigital novel, and couple other seven inch rigs. Have also tried two 5 inch units. The Le Pan is a well built unit, and just works. Most of the others you have to tinker with and add too. The Le Pan out of box was a great unit. Love the touch screen.I also have an entourage edge which is a very nice unit though the company is out of business :-(I've heard nothing that would indicate the newer Le pan is better but newer is quite often a little better.The extra real estate is way nice in my opinion.Go to a store and play with the fire and see if it works for you.

Last I read, the answer is "no". Android apps seem to display pretty nicely on the 7" screen - unlike the larger Galaxy models w/ 8.9 & 10.1" screens. Honeycomb is designed for larger tablets. However, I do think the 7" Tab will be upgradeable to 2.3 (Gingerbread)

The Wacom CTH470 Bamboo tablet is the one on top. (Silver with Black) As for the quality goes, its a great tablet worth every penny. I love my CTH470.
