The viewing angle is quite poor compared to the Galaxy Tab or the iPad, though not as bad as the even- cheaper tablets. But that's not an inevitable consequence of the 10 form-factor, as the iPad demonstrates. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I use a Nookcolor, there's no market place yet. However, some people have reported to get market place working after installing YouTube app. I tried it and it did not work on mine. Also, many applications that rely on google account info also do not work. One example is google reader. NC is good for the price. I wish that someone can work on gingerbread build for it. -toan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: What Tablet would you get
I have three Android tablets now, Galaxy Tab, Viewsonic gTablet and Nook Color. The Galaxy Tab is really nice, and definitely has the best Android integration out of the box. It also has the most hardware features like dual cameras, 3G, and GPS. The form factor is nice, but I wish they thinned out the edges a bit, it's kind of chunky, and is also the most expensive ($600, no contract.) Next, I bought the Nook Color, rooted it, and like the form factor the best of all three tablets. When CyanogenMod comes out for NC, it will be great, but even the stock BN Android is not bad. Since NC can boot directly from the sdcard, dual booting stock and CM would be really nice. For the price, this thing is awesome. Last, I bought the Vewsonic gTablet to debug some native code that was segfaulting on tegra2. The CPU is great, and I love that it has a USB host port, but now I'm convinced I'm not a fan of the 10 form factor. The biggest drawback is easily the display, which has a weird viewing angle. I can't remember if it was that bad with the stock software, but I put CM 6.1 on it almost immediately, and the display looks wonky unless viewed at the proper angle, which ironically seems to be with the tablet oriented upside down and to a slight angle. Maybe it is some sort of 3D display, or maybe I need to get new glasses, but the NC and Galaxy Tab both have beautiful displays. The Nook Color is the one that I am really enamored with... possibly because it has a lot of homebrew Android possibilities, but also because of the price point and form factor. BN did a really good job on it. And with some rooting it is really a universal reader, working with BN, Kindle App, and Google Books. -Howard On Dec 9, 10:44 am, Jon F Hancock jonfhanc...@gmail.com wrote: Doh!

I picked up a viewsonic g tablet at Sears for $379. The stock ui is aweful, but with cayanogenmod, it is an amazing device. Modding instructions are available on xda.

RE: [android-developers] Re: What Tablet would you get
I would never buy an Archos device again, ever--I had a terrible experience with a device I bought from them two years ago, and the customer service was flat-out inexcusably bad. The general perception was that they just didn't give a sh*t about the defective device they sold me, and it was my own fault for having bought it in the first place. I bought a Tab last week and I'm playing with it--nice device, though I'm having some problems using it as a WiFi hotspot. Signal is kinda weak, and it appears to drop after using it for a bit. My only criticism of the device so far. Would love to try the Toshiba, but haven't seen it available yet.

What about Archos tablets? Here in France they're less than half the price of the Galaxy Tab. On 12/03/2010 11:13 PM, OldSkoolMark wrote: I'm digging my Samsung Galaxy Tab.
