Sa miaging 12 ka bulan, naa nay daghang Android nga mga tablet nga nahitabo sa Pilipinas. Ug, mas dako pa ang mosunod. Sa daghan nga pipilaan, medyo nagahadlok pagpili kung mabili ang imang unang Android nga tablet. Busa, himoa nato kini usa ka boto.

Sa gidaghanon sa mga Android nga tablet nga anaa karon, unsa ang imong paborito hangtod karon? Ayaw nato limitahan kini sa mga opisyal nga gibaligya sa nasud, ba?

Asus Eee Pad Transformer
Acer Iconia Tab A500
Archos 70/101
Dell Streak 5
Cherry Mobile Superion
Samsung Galaxy Tab
Neo Edge OmiPad
Viewsonic ViewPad 7
Huawei S7

Ang LG usab magpahayag sa ilang kaugalingong tablet (LG Optimus Pad) samtang ang Samsung's 2nd-generation tablets. Ang HTC pa gihapon dili nag-launch sa ilang HTC Flyer tablet sa lokal nga merkado. Nagduda ko nga ang Motorola opisyal nga mag-release sa Xoom sa Pilipinas bisan tuod makita na nato ang mga unit nga gibaligya sa grey market para sa Php34k na.

Pasulod sa mga komento ug sulti kanamo kinsa ang imong gipili!

I like the Asus Transformer and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, But both are not yet available in the country.
And there are reports that iPad3 will be released soon (4th Quarter of this year).
If Ipad3 will be released just a few months after Asus transformer or Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is released in the country, I’ll go for Ipad3. Ipads are normally released simultaneously in the USA and the Philippines

yumax_phl · 15 years ago

I don’t think iPad 3 will be released anytime this year. They just released the iPad2 last April, 3rd Gen of the Apple tablet will probably be released either March or April next year. Only the iOS 5 will be released later this year, most likely together with the iPhone 5.

Asus EEEPad Transformer!! Win Win!! when I feel like blogging I can use the mobile dock, then when i fell like using apps and being on the go..then have it as a tablet..:D

:) Transformer! Best Tablet Ever!

juan · 15 years ago

Asus EEE pad Transformer and dock. I want all day (and the next day) computing. :)

whatif · 15 years ago

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9â€³ for the size :)

nivla · 15 years ago

Im also waiting for samsung galaxy tab 10.1 to come.. sino may idea kung kailan kaya dadating ito sa atin??

John Ray Cabrera · 15 years ago

i am comfortable with Dell’s 5incher tablet if only they have local support, e.g., post sale, value added, and accessory support.

boboy · 15 years ago

Watch out for the ASUS EEE MEMO PAD due last quarter of 2011. With all the features it is supposed to offer (7-inch screen, honeycomb OS, phone function, 5MP rear camera, stylus, bluetooth headset) it is definitely worth waiting for!

Given a chance I’ll buy a Samsung Galaxy Tab.

[email protected] · 15 years ago

I want a tablet but I want it to be android so it is similar with my small 3.2 screen android phone. And I want it with a big screen because if I get a one with a small screen like 7 inches then there is redundancy of function with my phone. I want it to function more like a netbook replacement than a celfon replacement. So it should be the biggest at 10 inch screen.

A small 3.2 inch android smartphone complements a 10.1 inch android tablet. But I want a fully functional tablet that works just like a windows laptop with full USB functionality, so I can connect keyboard, mouse, gamepad, USB 3G/HSPA+/wimax dongles, so I can connect external hard drives, flash drives and so on.

And that is none other than ACER ICONIA!

Edwin C · 15 years ago

Acer Iconia Tab A500 is the Sherman tank of tablets. It is fat and heavy. The one thing nice about this tablet is its rear camera. It can handle speed and is not choppy unlike that of the Transformer.

[email protected] · 15 years ago

exactly. When I buy a tablet, it should do a lot of things that my mobile phone can’t do. It should be big, and it should have full usb, and lotsa storage, something closer to a full-sized computer. I already have a smartphone, why get something without external USB ports like the asus transformer or galaxy tab?

Edwin C · 15 years ago

I used to like the Transformer, too when it was still being promoted. But when I learned that the usb port is not part of the main unit itself but on the keyboard it turned me off. I think the Transformer is overly designed. They just want to name it like that probably with the movie in mind. Well, I don’t like it. I already have a laptop. I don’t need to be lugging an extra keyboard with me. That is not cool.

Raymond · 15 years ago

I think it is a toss between Asus Transformer Tab and Apple Ipad 2

ralphy · 15 years ago

How much is the Archos 101???

Delecroix · 15 years ago

Asus EEE Pad FTW! I’ll just wait for it in the market since it will be released as Android 3.1 ON THE BOX!

That’s why I didn’t get interenst when the Iconia got into the market cause they are the 1st Honeycomb but no unit to actually compare. So I guess its a pro / con thingy.

For me better safe than sorry

EdwinC · 15 years ago

Mine is Archos 101 because this is the only tablet I know that has plenty of video codecs and extensions that can play almost all types of video format. I would have wanted the iPad 2 but its video codecs is limited to MP4, MOV, and H.264. Same with the overly design Transformer – it has got some missing video codecs as well. Forget the Acer Iconia Tab A500 – that thing plays just one type of video file. I don’t know much about the Galaxy but I remember watching my PSP MP4 movie Hellboy II:The Golden Army in my sister’s Galaxy Tab and it worked just fine. My Archos 101 has no rear cam but I realized that watching movie and browsing the web are more important to me than playing with the rear camera.

hoping more tab users and owners share their views, kudos to Yuga for this post. I’m thinking of buying a tab myself just for the heck of it.

Haven’t decided on one yet but I’m eyeing the HP touchpad with HP’s own WebOS. Looks like a really nifty gadget. Sadly it’ll be months till it comes to our shores. But hey, more time to look around :)

makr · 15 years ago

I’m using the acer iconia tab now & using it to post this… Really needs the Honeycomb 3.1 update badly as it might fix some issues…

Aaron · 15 years ago

mlh · 15 years ago

HTC Flyer has the looks… perfect size… though not the latest honeycomb… but it has a pen and i bet if you lost it replacement would be expensive and o’ yeah same as the tablet.
I was kinda of hoping for Slates.

Benchmark · 15 years ago

lawrence · 15 years ago

Flash has been essential to my daily living, so I go for android!

sossimo · 15 years ago

I’d say Samsung Galaxy Tab. Just got mine a few days ago and it’s awesome!

Nico · 15 years ago

Go Motorola Xoom. Motorola is known for its well-thought hardware design(and eccentricities). Though it had been into hasten development just to finish first, further firmware update will smooth-out those performance blemishes. I really do hope they release the generic versions(non-carrier ones) with open bootloader atleast.

al · 15 years ago

xooms bootloader is not signed/encrypted. so worry not

intersectRaven · 15 years ago

I’m undecided as to whether I should go for the ASUS Transformer or Galaxy Tab 10.1. (I’m also looking at the Nook Color since it does have Android) :p

Randell · 15 years ago

I got myself an Asus Eee Pad (without the dock since it doesn’t really make any sense) 2 weeks ago.

It won over Galaxy Tab because of the price (-7k PhP) and won over Iconia because of the form factor, price, and weight.

So far i have no complains with it as

Jepotski · 15 years ago

Where did you bought your transformer? How much?

al · 15 years ago

Same question, where did you buy your transformer? ive been looking for one this whole week and found nothing.

chinitoguy · 15 years ago

My choice is Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 but its not yet available here yet. But if I’m going to buy a tablet I would prefer a Windows-powered one. I’m waiting for Windows 8 OS for tablets and Samsung, Acer or HP is my choice of tablet maker.
