Electronics The Android Tablet Watch Thread - Page 19

**DaFace** · 08:18 PM

Since the iPad thread is 90% Mac vs. PC (Android) BS, I figured I'd start a separate thread now that some viable Android tablets are starting to be available. (Yeah, yeah...vaporware, etc., etc.)

Discuss.

I used the OTG Cable on my Nexus 7 8GB and it was great.

Nice! ill more then likely go with the nexus 10, but the Surface Tablets with windows 8 have me intrigued! lol

Well, i ordered the nexus 10. Ordered a OTG cable. Now, i just have to wait for them to come in.

Amazon's price went up and it ended up being 488, so i said naw, i bought it from google play for 448

Be sure to let us know what you think. I don't think you'll regret going Nexus over some of the Android options. Especially for tablets, it's the only "brand" I'd recommend.

i was going between the TF prime NExus 10 and a windows 8 tablet, but after some research and looking at reviews, nexus 10 seemed like the best option.

Just have to wait for Google to send it. Hopefully i get it by friday.

Excellent. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Reddit is fun = goodbye life
Zinio - see if your library supports it, mine offers a shit load of free magazines, monthly
GoComics - Garfield, peanuts, etc, for free, entire collections
500px - beautiful pictures, instagram for non shit heads
8tracks-introduce a lil anarchy to your playlist
Google keep- because **** evernote
Overdrive-for library books; also get kindle; lots of free legal books online for both
Hulu plus and hbogo are great if you have the service, as I assume Netflix is
Word hero is a boggle type online game where you compete. It's pretty fun.
Get amazon appstore and get the free app of the day, but get the app through chrome. Sometimes they're good.

i just don't get the love for Reddit at all.

The secret of reddit is signing in and customizing your list of subreddits. If all you do is go to the front page, you won't like it much unless you're really into memes and cats. If you take the time to get rid of most of the default subreddits and add others for topics you're interested in, it's a fantastic way of keeping up with news and content across all areas of the internet.

FYI, you should still have access to all of the apps you got on your Kindle Fire without having to buy them again or wait for them to go on special.

Unless they were Kindle Fire specific. I've run into that before.

I like the Dolphin browser (it allows tabbed browsing) and SwiftkeyX keyboard (excellent word predictor, I don't swype.)
