Tablets forum: iPad, or Android tablet?

What do you mean by no 24p playback? You mean 24 frames per second? That would be the camera, not a tablet or player.

Also, how would a Kingston Wi-Drive work with a tablet? Does it simply use a Wi-Fi signal between them?

If you read reviews by CNET of BD players and HDTVs any unit that does not do 24p playback usually gets dinged. Since tablets and PCs can't do 24p on the internal display and I've yet to see 24p output from a tablet, it's easy to write that BD playback fails on the tablets.

Not to duplicate the WiDrive web page, the answer is yes.

Okay, so nothing will be Blu-Ray quality, I can do with DVD then. Not a problem there. And I looked at the Wi-Drive, but if I place movies on it, and want to watch them while on a flight, then I would think that there would be a problem with the Wi-Fi on a plane, even if it is only localized. or is it okay, because it would be so localized?

You don't want a tablet without the card slots. This really helps narrow it down.

If Apple will not talk to you about the Camera Kit then they are out of the running too.

Go try out that Sony.

So, I saw that with the Sony Tablet S, the SD card slot isn't actually expandable memory, it reads it, but in order to watch a movie or the like, you have to download the stuff to the tablet's memory. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a SD card slot. But, is this because of an older Android OS? Does ICS do away with that, and basically use the SD card slot as actual expandable memory?

I'm maintaining old PalmOS apps and the same story way back then. If you put an app on the card, behind your back it copies it to onboard memory before it launches. Seems to be pretty easy to work with.

Isn't ICS outdated now with Jellybean out? Why consider anything unless it's the latest unless the price is right?

With Google Nexus and the new Kindle Fire HD's out I think the next few weeks will see a fire sale on older units. One might be just what you want.

It's mostly the Player app that has to deal with the memory card issue. If a player will copy it in as needed, it will be transparent to you. As the magician said "Now watch this."

That is just it, I don't want it to copy what is on the card. If I get a 16 GB model that is 33% full with apps, books, and such, and I have a 16 GB card that is 75% full with movies, it can't copy everything from the card to the memory. And I don't want it to. I specifically want the card to be expandable memory, so I can have the OS, books, some music, and any apps that I want on the tablet memory, and I want to be able to put movies onto a SD card so I can swap them out. I want to be keep the tablet memory as clean as possible.

As to Jelly Bean, well, if worse comes to worse, I have a guy that can do some stuff for me if needed.

I write apps so to me I hide the fact my apps read external memory cards into local memory as needed and makes it all seem like magic.

Any decent app (for example the player) would just deal with it. I've found the purveyors of these tablets to be unknowing and I can't collect all of them. At the office we write apps for such things but even there, we only have a dozen or more models. This is not one of them so I can't test for your issue.
