If anyone want to buy the lower price’s tablet, then just should go for android market or eBay online store because here they will provide best android tablets with lowest prices.

They don’t sale because it’s become a proven fact 4 months from a devices release their will be a better, faster, bigger, more stable phone then the one just released. So people wait. It’s not because they cant compete. Because spec wise, they compete very.. very well. Like for example.. motorola xoom beats ipad. Ipad two comes out… motorola xoom… still beats it spec wise the only thing better is the screen on the ipad 2.

So the reason they don’t sale isn’t because they cant compete with apple. It isn’t because android phones are subpar compared to “premium android phones” it’s because of no reason other then the fact iphones are bought by idiots who want to be told how to use their phone. Android phones are bought by people who want the device to work for THEM not the other way around. So inherently the average android users is smarter the the average iphone user. Thus… By being smarter by default, The average android user will wait for a better phone for the same money, or they’ll wait till the phone they want drops in price before buying it. Because its a utterly universal truth that in 4-6 months their WILL be a better phone, which will then reduce the price on the phone you actually want.

Android phones are cheaper by default because if they didn’t drop the prices… damn warehouses would be crammed full ALL the time and their would be no room for new devices.. Not because apple creates the better phone. I thought that was relatively common sense. I suppose I was wrong.

i’ve owned the droidx, droidx2, played with the bionic, and the nexus is hands down the best.

My Galaxy Nexus is not a failure. It is the best phone I’ve ever had. I dont obsess over .0X updates. I havenr counted on updates in over a year. I bought the Nexus for the main thing that makes it a Nexus…unlockable bootloader. People that whine about the Nexus need to get a life.

And it’s not like Android lovers won’t pay to have their precious. No one is going to leave Verizon over this fee. They are going to pay it and that is what Verizon is counting on.

What Google really needs to do is take a look at what Tablified.com and their App has done in regards of creating a separate section of table optimized apps. They are getting KILLED in the mainstream tech media about them reporting on the “lack of tablet apps” Many of these tech pundits have no clue of how many and what are available for the Tablet Market on Android.
Most will go to the market place and the only direction is “Staff Picks” and then conclude that is basically the bulk of the apps for android tablets. They then report it and then it resonates with the general public and then that translates on their purchasing decision.

But anyone who owns an Android Tablet and has their finger on the pulse of what’s happening in the Android world in terms of Apps knows this is the farthest from the truth. Most mainstream popular apps are optimized for tablets and that seems to keep increasing every week.

So if Google really wants to be “focused” then they need to take a look at Tablififed.com and create an REAL tablet section in the Google Playstore.

Great diatribe. Nothing but opinion which means nothing to market sales. Yes Android is leading market share because of cheap phones. Look at the sales for the premium Android phones, such as the Nexus, which are not available for a cheaper price. they don’t sale, sorry to break the news to you .

The 16gb is the best selling iPhone by far. I am referring to the base model being $299

^This

I still don’t know what tablet apps I’m missing out on. I seem to be perfectly capable and functional with the apps I have on it already.

What precisely am I missing out on that I HAVE to have?

My tablet surfs the web, does email fantastically, does office documents great, video/teleconferencing, image editing, sound-recording, video editing, task management.. Its completely replaced my work laptop.

So I ask again, what is it that I’m missing out on?

I don’t think that’s what I’m seeing here… I feel like what they’re saying is they are trying to get manufactures to go for the knees of apple instead of only focusing on the head… do I think that Asus, Samsung and other will still make premium tablets yes I do, but Android’s biggest strong point is that anyone can use it yet that is a fact that tablet manufactures aside from amazon have largely ignored..

And a full size SD slot too. I want to be able to take the card out of my DSLR and look at pictures on a bigger screen right away. Buying Micro SD and then using an adapter in my DSLR is not an option.

Why get nexus after the failure of the galaxy nexus overall. At least teh CDMA/LTE version. I guess a Wi-Fi only tablet would at least not get treated like a red headed step child.
