Title: PM Tablet Users Thread - iPad, Galaxy Tab, PlayBook, Surface and the Clones!
Post by: rockophoria on November 08, 2010, 12:09:45 PM
Let's talk about how these tablets changed our everyday life, from the way we browse the internet, the way we play, read, interact and work! :lol:
This is not limited to iPad users only, all folks who owns a tablet from Kindle, Galaxy Tab, Windows-Based ones, the soon to be released Blackberry Playbook to even all those Android Tablets popping around (iPed, aPad, ePad, iRobot etc) are welcome to share their experience on how their devices made their life easier and fun! :-D
--
anyways lemme start, all I can say is my iPad generally replaced my MacBook and it made me realize that its redundant to keep another portable computer around if I can easily bring my much lighter and thinner iPad.. thus I sold my MacBook.. 8-)
if syncing and data backup I reverted back to my trusty PC Desktop as another machine is essential to keep the backup for iPad data and installed applications.
the iPad can read PDF files so there's no need to print everything I need when im preparing for a presentation or reviewing for a report or when I need lyrics for a song, the iPad can also download eBooks online so no need to constantly bug myself going to powerbooks doing follow-ups on newly released titles.
doing presentation also is a walk in the park with the "Keynote" iPad app that works like "Microsoft Powerpoint" and with the size and weight of the iPad its easier presenting it to a small group of people and with the accelerometer all I need is to flip it to show something or when I need to present to a much larger group of people I can just hook it up in a projector using an iPad to VGA connector.
as a hobbyist photographer I found the iPad much friendlier than a laptop as all applications I need to edit, enhance and manipulate a photograph is already available like the "Photoshop Express", "Photo FX Ultra" and "Retouch" and with the iPad Camera Connection Kit I can easily transfer all photos I taken from my DSLR to my iPad in less than a minute (the iPad Camera Connection Kit transfers 50-100 photos in less than 2 minutes), the iPad also supports almost all HD Video format taken by any DSLR and Point and Shoot cameras, the iPad can play this video too! (im excited with the next 4.2 iOS as it might have a built in video editing tool).
graphic design and presentation is easier with the iPad too! with apps like "Autodesk Sketchbook Pro" I can easily do a quick sketch and present them immediately, it takes time to practice doodling using your fingers but if you have no time for it there's a third party ipad accessory you can buy.. the "Pogo Sketch Stylus".. it goes around a grand and you can doodle away! :wink:
as a gamer the iPad is perfect mobile gaming tool! with the A4 Processor running at 1GHZ its fast to load a graphics-heavy app like "Grand Theft Auto: China Wars HD", "Field Runners", "Mirror's Edge", "Plants vs Zombies HD" and "Command and Conquer: Red Alert" and playing it is amazing with the iPad's 9.7" display in 1024x768-pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch the graphics is bright and live specially when playing it at your most comfortable way. (the iPad can also play your average iPhone/iPod Touch games and all you have to to is click the "2x" button on lower right corner to full size it albeit in slightly lowered resolution).
working online is also another thing my iPad does best! as almost any place in metro manila already has Wi-Fi connection you can easily fetch your emails in style, I owned a WiFi only iPad so im planning to either upgrading to the 3G version or doing a "Mi-Fi" setup so that I can just bring my broadband internet with me. (since owning an iPad 3G will require me to cut my broadband sim to "micro" with that I wont be able to use the sim with my USB Broadband Dongle again).
taking down notes is easy too with the iPad's full keyboard setup, as you can position the iPad relatively at any angle you can type at your most comfortable way, (in your lap, at the table or in your arms) you can also quickly scribble if you want. :lol:
as a musician I was able to use the iPad as a live recording tool as the simple recording app "Voice Recorder" can do quality recordings even in "sleep" mode (maximizing battery life), I also installed "Amplitube" and will going to use it as soon as I acquire an iRig clone.. also not to mention other cool music utility apps like "MyChords", "Drums HD" and many more!
I dont really use my iPad when listening to music as I already have my trusty iPod specifically for it though the iPad has a built in iTunes that manage your music library as it was in the desktop I rather leave it as is as I also have limited space for music (I only have the 16GB version), the videos are perfect tho I limit it also because of storage limitations.. :cry:
now I am waiting for the release of the iOS 4.2 for iPad (multitasking, folders and many more enhancements I can just imagine!)
overall I believe that the iPad and other fledgling tablet devices will soon replace the laptops and with technology rapidly evolving I wont be surprised if a year or two from now we will start our transition from laptops to tablet devices. :-D

i hate you man. :D
will share something once i get mine!
in my case, i think i'll be able to use the iPad mainly as a reading device, for a whole lotta magazine subscription. that camera-connection-kit thing also tickled my senses!

yeah me to way back! hahaha its 2 small devices you can carry on your pocket.. (http://images.fastcompany.com/upload/ipad-camera-adapters.jpg)
first is the direct card reader device where you can immediately transfer your photos by plugging it in to your iPad: (http://www.movietoipad.com/images/ipad-resources/ipad-accessories/use-ipad-camera-connection-kit.jpg)
and the other one has a USB for directly plugging your camera's data cable (if your camera uses compact flash rather than secure digital) like this one: (http://blog.gsmarena.com/pics/10/08/apple-ipad-camera-connection-kit/apple-ipad-camera-connection-kit.jpg)
and its easy to transfer the photos.. its fast and also has the option to delete the copied photos from the SD Card or keep them.. (http://justanotheripadblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ImportComplete.jpg)
its really essential dude! specially if you do a lot of photowalks and portrait shoots. :lol:
but what I find weird is that you cannot "full preview" a shot first before you can transfer it (only thumbnailed preview).. you need to transfer it first before you can view it fully (even the videos..) means that the iPad wont read from source.. it only connects and transfer. (this I hope will be fixed on the next iOS release which is the 4.2)

^ Yun o!
I heard this one sells for less than 20k.. (correct me if im wrong) and runs Froyo Android 2.2? @ 600mhz Qualcomm processor?
Marzi gawa ka kaagad ng review and photos if you get one! hehehe parang wala pa akong nakikita sa marketplace nito eh.. pero I heard it was already released?
they say it has 2 cameras (front and back) a micro SD slot and has 7" screen? :|

I'm a bit curious, yung Superion runs on 600 Mhz while yung Magnum is 1GHz. Pero hindi specified kung anong model ng Qualcomm yung nasa Magnum. Yung Qualcomm MSM 7227 ay gamit din yata ng HTC.
MegaHertz myth? I stopped believing that noong mag shift into x86 ang Apple :-D (I'm just baiting) :-D

question: can this handle other forms of media like flash drives and external hard disks or is it limited to pictures only?
what prevents me from getting the ipad (and iphone as well) is the fact that the memory is very limited and has no actual room for expansion.

question: can this handle other forms of media like flash drives and external hard disks or is it limited to pictures only?
what prevents me from getting the ipad (and iphone as well) is the fact that the memory is very limited and has no actual room for expansion.
it is limited to photos and videos only..
I tried plugging my 2GB USB stick full of PDF files but all the iPad can tell me is "Device not supported" and I also tried plugging in my external 80GB HD and my USB Broadband dongle the iPad complained: "The device is consuming/using too much power". so a lot of apps require specific files to be uploaded to the iPad like "Goodreader" and "VLC" but all files cannot be simply transferred via USB or External HD.. you need to go through iTunes first before you can transfer it.
sad reality that is..
but also a blessing in disguise accordingly if you look into perspective :-D
see this is what I found odd about apple the first time I began using their products.. why cant we do this, why cant we use that, why cant this be etc etc.. but I kinda realized that Apple wanted their products to run smoothly and within standards.. and by allowing users to do or perform whatever Apple think will slow their products will be bad for their own image..
imagine users constantly uploading and transferring movie files of different format into the iPad even if Apple only supports MPEG4 with the reason that MPEG4 will run smoothly with their quicktime movie player, so by users playing all those formats alltogether will eat up a lot of juice and will lagg the quicktime player and eventually stall the performance of the iPad.. then what will users say? "Apple products are slow and they suck" (without even thinking it was their own doing that cause it in the first place).
one good example.. the "VLC Player" app for the iPad.. comsumers demand it, they wanted it even with the first iteration of the iPhone.. so Apple approved it in the appstore eventhough it aint perfect yet just to make the consumers happy.. well I tried the VLC app and I loaded my iPad with some of Manny Pacquiao's fight in DIV-X format.. verdict? they are crappy.. yes the VLC can play multi-coded videos but those file formats arent coded to play seamlessly with the iPad.. so id rather spend time converting those DIV-X to MPEG4 rather than risk slowing down my iPad.. or worst lagging it or crushing the iOS. (and spend more time restoring and jailbreaking it)
now there are rumors that Apple will silently pull the "VLC App" off the Appstore..
Apple likes to work within standards and whatever standards is that it worked seamlessly and efficiently within their products so all we can do is wait for Apple to constantly upgrade and update it as we dont know more better than them in terms of their products. :-D

I suspect that the issue is not about the performance of VLC but more on the Copyright (or Copyleft :) ) issues.

you have a good point. come to think about it yes it does make sense but there are somehow some things that hinder me. yes the room for expansion is the major reason for it. you did say 16gb for your ipad and that is somewhat decent for me. though all i need is something with larger space, and just the capability of being able to interact with devices like flash drives or printers. since apple is now integrating multitasking with the new os, im sure that isnt far behind.
you did a good review, which now makes me consider getting one as well, something that i can use when im gonna be doing a lot of moving around but cannot risk leaving my laptop in one place. based on your review, i asked myself, why dont i have something to get me through days where its recommended to leave my laptop behind to be more mobile. i have a back problem actually, and i dont really like the idea of having my laptop with me all the time because of that. but who knows, apple just might be able to answer my request as technology gets better.
as for now, i rely on my smartphone to do my dirty work when i have to be very mobile. time to start saving for one (and wishing apple answers my wish at the same time haha)

yes. i checked online and it sells 'daw' for 19,000-
tatlo lang yata ang units ng Cherry na Qualcomm powered. nagtataka din ako, this one has a 600Mhz processor while the smaller one has a 1Ghz procy? parang mali pinaglagyan no? :-D pero yung Magnum eh HD daw up to 720p.
ok syang ilagay sa kotse for audio/video stuff.
and the 2 cameras? yup meron. but i still dont find it useful.

Sa tingin nyu bababa ang presyo ng iPad pakalabas ng iPad 2 as well as nung mga ibang tablet rivals niya?
I guess, pero di sobra. Locally, at least. Medyo delayed din bago dumating yung bago. Sa itouch, 'di sobra yung binababa nung generation before this (dami pa naman sa malls).
iPad user here :-D but if the iPad 2 is really different.. hmmm :roll: I really like it. Made the iTouch obsolete for me.
Still have the macbook for more intensive stuff though.

Kung ang current vendors ay hindi maga-guarantee na gagana ang Android 3.0 sa tablet nila ngayon, then wag na munang bumili. Yung 3.0 kasi eh may optimizations for tablet devices. Unlike ngayon, vendors do the optimizations. Whereas sa 3.0 by default ay oks sa tablet.

Marami akong nababasa na "possibly" around 100-200$ daw ang aalisin, another option is they could stop manufacturing the 1st gen ipad and focus instead on the newer one..sana ibababa nalang yung price. :-D

maghintay na lang tayo ng next gen tablets ng mga vendors. napaisip din ako sa Superion eh. kung bukod sa main parts eh parts na ng Cherry mobile ang nilalagay nila, malamang maging malaking issue ko ang battery life nyan.

there's this at bestbuy, for what it's worth: (http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/01/1-15-11-ipadbestbuy.jpg)
But it could just be a verizon version of the ipad, as engadget said.

chong hit or miss ang magandang quality nyang mga android based ipad clones.
pag nasira pa yan, wala kang service center na pedeng pagdalhan. wala din yatang warranty yan sa seller. so ang mabibigay kong advice sayo eh goodluck sa budget toy hunting mo.
pero kung makakadagdag ka pa hanggang 10k pataas, may mga nagbebenta dito ng Archos tablets.

At last! Apple unveiled the iPad 2!
Altho the redesign was awesome I was kinda disappointed when they did not include a "built-in SD Card reader" as the recent rumors said, specially when they integrated a tablet version of their famous iMovie and Garageband softwares that will surely make photographers, videographers and musicians like us jump with joy but will surely feel "bitin" because we still have to use proprietary add-ons like "Apple Camera Connection Kit" (which I already have heheh). :-D
here it is.. (http://images.apple.com/ipad/specs/images/ipad_front_20110302.jpg) (http://images.apple.com/ipad/specs/images/ipad_back_20110302.jpg)
As you can see it has a flatter back now and sharp edges that eliminated the "sides" (you can almost see all physical buttons by solely looking at the back), the speakers was redesigned and realigned to the lower back with a frequency response of 20Hz to 20,000Hz and user configurable maximum volume output -- they redesigned this probably to go by using the built-in Garageband app with or without studio monitor headphones.
The processing power was also upgraded with the now dual-core Apple A5 chip (still at 1GHZ tho) that also perform tremendously without sipping a lot of juice thats why the iPad 2 retained the same 10-Hour continuous operation as same as its earlier iteration -- with almost a month in standby mode. :evil:
Still with the same 1024-by-768-pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch (ppi) in 9.7 inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen Multi-Touch display, I was not surprised that they did not pushed-through with the rumored retina-display for it as the original iPad itself performed extremely well resolution-wise so there is no point to re-enhance it as its already "big"
The obvious upgrade is the dual camera as it is now a standard among other competing tablet devices thus apple introduced it to the iPad 2 to be used specifically on the "facetime" and "photo booth" apps, the front camera is VGA with video recording up to 30 frames per second with audio also VGA-quality still camera photo exposures (same as the iPhone 4), the back camera is in HD when recording videos (720p) up to 30 frames per second with audio with 5x digital zoom. -- altho I dont find it really appropriate to record video and take photographs with a gargantuan tablet.. the front facing camera is more logical for video conferences and meeting thru facetime.
Overall the iPad 2 is a major update of its line and tho without major disappointments in my part as the one I am really looking forward to with it did not materialize.. and for me it is the most important thing that I will use it to.. the built-in SD Card reader, we know apple has reasons for not including it but it would really maximize the use of the iPad 2.
The price they said is still the same, but I dont know here in the Philippines.. release date will be this March (US) and early next month (EU-Asia) :-D
will I buy it? -- definitely!! 8-)

^ mga 22/23 yung lowest end na iPad 1 dito :-)
For sure, aabot din ng ganyan yung bagong iPad after some months. Pero sigurado rin na gagawing overpriced nung mga first few sellers. Your call if you wanna wait for the iPad 2, lalo na kung lalabas na halos same price :-D or baka magmura pa yung iPad 1.. win win either way.
Won't be upgrading sa 2 (although oks sa akin yung mirroring sana. ganda for presentation, basta may mahabang cable).
May rumors na for a next iPad! Some say sometime fall this year, para maging synced na yung karamihan nung product releases nila. And slightly ot - new iphones daw this summer (rumors din).

I was genuinely excited about the ipad2 until i got a hold of it an borrowed my friends'. My biggest dissapointment was the resolution. For me its Retina Display or nothing, hehe im too spoiled by the iphone and ipod touch 4g. Rest assured though that by this time next year i'll be raving on this very same thread about the iPad3. Till next year! Good luck.

well if they just pushed through with the built-in card/media reader I could have bought one.. pero right now im still satisfied with my iPad 1 and it still serves its purpose very well.. no need to upgrade yet unless a very significant feature will be included.. :-D

Yep, another item on my wishlist is that Lord Jobs (wtf!) releases an ipad thayts just 7" but knowing Apple that will never happen.... Or will it? (rumored ipod touch5) :evil:

Played with it on Globe hub or something (I forgot whatever they call their office, he he he). I love the ergonomics and speed of applications. It's not yet Honeycomb though. But it's decent and fast.

any forumites (specially those abroad) here that was able to get the HP TouchPad?
grabe it was offered for $99 nalang after HP ceased their WebOS and Hardware division.. I read that BestBuy's stocks are sold out within hours.. I tried to find some offering online kaso some are scam at yung iba mahal pa rin ang benta..
and I believe the HP TouchPad was advertised by Manny Pacquiao..

Magkakaron pa ng stocks ang HP kaso sa dami ng umoorders ang hirap talagang makakuha. Dapat pipila ako sa best buy kaso kailangan unahin ang tuition. Sayang. :|

This is the first tablet that made me consider getting one :)
Well, that day has come, and so have the juicy details. We just got word that the tablet will go on sale worldwide in December, starting at $499 with a beefy 32GB of storage, moving up to $599 for a 64GB model. (That signature keyboard dock you see up there will cost $149.) In addition to those basic specs Mr. Shih revealed last month, we now know this has a 1280 x 800, Super IPS+ Gorilla Glass display with a 178-degree viewing angle and a max brightness of 600 nits. It also packs 1GB of RAM, GPS, a gyroscope, SonicMaster audio and a 1.2 megapixel front-facing camera. Rounding out the list is an 8MP shooter with an auto-focusing f/2.4 lens and a back-illuminated CMOS sensor that captures 1080p video. Touch-to-focus is also an option here, and ASUS claims a 30 percent boost in color enhancement over competing tabs.
And the battery life? 12 hours (18 hours with the dock). That's a lot of touching if you're traveling from MNL to JFK :evil:

tama, yung personal iPad ko and office iPad eh parehong iPad 1 lang, eh mas power efficient pa daw ang iPad 2 (having the A5 Processor) pero if sa battery life rin lang naman eh sobra sobra na para sa isang araw na power usage..
yun ang isa sa mga quality ng iPad na nagustuhan ko.. super tagal ng battery.. mas mauuna pa mauubos ang battery ng Macbook Pro ko.. yung iPad ko nasa 40% pa..

Bought a white iPad 2 when it launched last April. I've tried a Samsung, and another Android-based tablet i forget the name; the iPad wins in every category (snappiness, battery life, price value, aesthetic, applications)
of course, once you buy an iPad, make sure you have the iOS that has a jailbreak. :-D

+1 medyo sloppy ang android based tablets. ive tried several models like samsung, acer, asus and motorola xoom pero iPAd 2 pa rin ang may pinakamagandang performance.

internal is 8 or 16 GB depende sa model with a slot for micro SD for up to 32GB..i checked online and different countries got different versions of either the hardware or software so medyo may confusion..lets hope that the local distribution is getting the 1.2Ghz Advanced - the consumer reviews says its pretty smooth and they ended up buying another one for whatever other use thay may have for it..
oh and for picture addicts, sorry..this particular model only came with 1.3MP front and 2MP back cams..i dont really need the back cam so the front is decent enough for video calls..

i want the Novo7 Advance..priced below 11k..with 1.2Ghz processor and battery life is pretty decent - may run 3d games for 6 hours or less..
the only sucky feature is the 3G connectivity..you have to plug a smart bro/globe tattoo usb stick :lol:
dyahe, may nakalawit sa gilid :lol:
wow im quoting myself :razz:
anyways, discontinued na daw ang Novo7 Advanced dahil may competitor na nakapag produce ng mas magandang specs..si Ainol naman na ayaw magpatalo eh gumawa din ng mas improved na version kesa sa kalaban nya - Ainol Aurora..might go to starmall on friday for a hands on sa Ira's gadgets..

going to the question, pag araw araw ba ang charging or every 24hours, madali ba masisira ang battery (charge life ba kung tawagin un?)?
kung sakali masira may replacement naman ba? iPad is still less than a month pa lang. TIA :)

The iPad's battery is designed to withstand tremendous load.. Mas healthy pa nga yung regularly mo sya china-charge since it will make the chemicals constantly flowing thus will always be calibrated to perform at its best

I really wanted this kasi it is actually a desktop PC in a form of a tablet.. lahat ng desktop softwares natin gagana dito (basta supported ng Windows 8) and what I like is mababasa nya lahat ng files sa USB thumbdrives and SD Cards.. and the best of all I can use a full desktop version of Adobe Photoshop CS6 :drool:

Love my iPad Mini as well. I never really liked them iPads and I was really hoping that Apple would release a smaller version of the iPad. So, once the mini came out I immediately bought one. Mine's not jailbroken though. I don't like my i-devices to be jailbroken. Hated my iPhone 3G when I had it jailbroken.

anyone seen ASUS' new 7-incher?
(http://www.androidguys.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/asus_memopad.jpg) ASUS Memo Pad
priced at Php6,990 in Cyberzone Megamall, youll think "hey, this tablets a steal!". the problem is, once you get to look at the specs, youll feel cheated.
1Ghz processing power with a MALI400 GPU in a tablet is not so bad, that is if youre looking for something to browse the internet and storage for your documents. in gaming conditions however, this thing will lag really bad. simple games like 2D RPGs will work nicely, but simple 3D racers like Drift Mania Championship and the like will disappoint you. the screen as well needs a little improvement as the viewing angle on this thing is a bit lower than IPS standards.
i think this is ASUS' response to consumers who get suckered to buying China-made tablets with questionable warranty terms.
the thing comes with a 4.1(Jellybean) Android OS btw. and if the hardware still supports it, it may receive 5.0(Key Lime Pie) upgrade as well.

AFAIK, Ipad 3 has retina display too. I just don't know why they called Ipad 4, Ipad with Retina Display.

Gumagana ba talaga yung mga generic camera connection kit pang ipad4/mini na nagkalat sa sulit? May nakatry na sa inyo?
-------------------------
Okay naisip ko baka di na gumana, kasi diba nga since mag update sa ios 7 lahat ng apple devices, di na gumagana yung 3rd party chargers and accessories?! Kaya ayun damn you apple!
Magkano kaya camera connection kit sa power mac?

I'm surprised na walang user ng Alcatel HD tab dito na 7-inch. Cinompare ko sa Samsung Tab 3 at mas HD ang Alcatel. Masmalaki pa ng konting konti yung screen...

Nothing special,I'm using it right now,hehe,it's just a lighter,faster version of the previous iPad. I thought it would be a good start for apple but no,it's a bit smaller and thinner.same screen btw. Performance wise it's very fast,and very light. Not that I'm sarcastic or anything,but if you sense it's just lighter and faster,that's it. :nosebleed: That's my in depth review of the new faster and lighter iPad air.i regret it because I thought there's more to offer. But it's fast and light,harhar

Hello! Dalwa kasi yung playbook namin. Napansin ko lang, pangit ang charger ng PB. Hindi na namin magamit ang isa kasi maluwag na yung charging port ng PB para sa charger. May problema din sa dulo ng orange thingy na yun e. Hindi na sya magcharge kahit anong diin namin sa charging port. What should I do? Paltan ko na lang yung orange?
PS. Tinry ko yung samsung charger ko and gumana sya sa Playbook. So it means, ung orange talaga yung may problema. :(

mga sir/mam, ano po 'yung problema ng iPad Mini pag lagi nagtu-twitch 'yung screen nya kahit hindi mo ginagalaw?

kaso may problema na ata yung akin. hindi tumutuloy yung wifi connection kahit nakikita nya.kinukulit ako ng anak ko hehe...
it is, because up until the last upgrade, dito naka-base yung specs ng iPad mini 1st gen. So sobrang sulit talaga nung mga nakakuha ng iPad 2. Yung sakin naman isang linggo na lang ang battery, at maraming apps na ang hindi compatible dahil sa baba ng specs. Buti nga yung Traktor DJ at iMaschine gumagana pa nang walang sabit.
