hyaku 2,807 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I spent a few hours looking at tablets today. Reasonable priced quad core. But can anyone tell me what they are like using a sim card? Will it be slow and hang? No Wi-Fi here. Link to post Share on other sites
SomeRandomGuy 6,596 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) been doing this for the last few weeks decided that the nexus was the best and best bang for your buck its probably the best on the market and quiet reasonably priced too will add a bit more nexus 7 i meant but if u want a big 10 inch there is a second gen version comming out a bit later this year but in all honesty when u sit down work out the ins and outs and all that jazz the i pad is the best on the market for the 10 inch sure it costs somewhat more and u can not have a sim card but if a sim card is needed then yes the galaxy tab but then again pretty sure there is a new version of that comming out soon also ipads apps do cost money androids apps are pretty much free hmmmm its like living in the philippines too many choices personally i am waiting to see what the new nexus 10 second gen will look like and its reviews but if it is anything like the last one well its half the price of the ipod 4 and just as strong just not as good looking and sexy sleek but ipad 4 battery lasts longer is stronger and has a better display sorry to add all that sure u already know all this Edited August 5, 2013 by SomeRandomGuy Link to post Share on other sites
Administrator +Salty Dog 69,087 Posted August 8, 2013 Administrator Share Posted August 8, 2013 Have an iPad 3 and most of my apps were free. Only paid for a handful and then all less than $10. most less than $5. I also have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and I must admit I like the android apps better than the apple one, but then I like PCs better than Macs. Google just did it right with android, especially with their map programs. Of course my Note 2 has a quad core processor and more memory than my iPad. I can run regular internet sites or mobile sites as well as use any browser I want. It feels more like a computer than a tablet. The iPad is as all apples a very closed system. It is fun to use though and the retina display is fantastic for photos and videos. Battery life is out of this world compared to a smart phone. My iPad is WiFi only so never tried one with the cell service and GPS. Link to post Share on other sites
blaze pontaine 299 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 What's the lowest price tablet someone's seen in the PI? Link to post Share on other sites
hyaku 2,807 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) What's the lowest price tablet someone's seen in the PI? The new Cherry mobile is quad core at less than 8000. Can't find one that takes a Sim here. Perhaps Cebu? Star mobile is nice but doesn't have the hardware. Maybe I should wait a bit until more upgrade to quad. The 5.2 phone is remarkable. just wanted something a bit bigger in a pad. I've been mac crazy since home comps came out. But I'm avid gamer now instead of avid worker. They just don't make games for mac. I tried to Bluetooth a pics from my phone to an iPad without success. I thought Bluetooth like the net was a standard?

liquido 1,560 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Being not that literate on Tablets I see a new Galaxy Tab3 is coming out..Like many people i either use a smart or sun dongle when out and about..will this new tablet accept a dongle sim were I will be able to get wifi? Or would I have to buy a micro sim adapter to plug the dongle in?? Link to post Share on other sites
poby 1,757 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I recently bought a tablet from one of the largest tablet makers in china for $120. Similar specs to nexus 7. The manufacturer however chose a rather unfortunate name for the company, perhaps without regard to international sales to english speaking countries. But my Ainol novo seems to be solidly built and works well. The company slogan is: Enjoy life, enjoy ainol! 4 Link to post Share on other sites
JasonEcos 263 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 The new Cherry mobile is quad core at less than 8000. Can't find one that takes a Sim here. Perhaps Cebu? Star mobile is nice but doesn't have the hardware. Maybe I should wait a bit until more upgrade to quad. They have a Cherry Mobile quadcore (I think its called Fusion Bolt) for 4000 too. We picked one up and while its no iPad its very nice for the price. But again, no sim. Its our second Cherry Mobile, and so far we have liked both Cherrys better than the Star we had.
