Quoting Larry Colen <[email protected]>:
When I had time, but no money, my plan had been to root a nook color for
displaying photos. Out of the box, the UI on the nook sucks soggy lint.
However, in reasonable light the display isn't bad.
Compared to my S3, the display on the nook isn't so great either, just a
bit bigger.
However, now that I'm working, I'm slightly less poor financially, but
completely destitute temporally.
I'd like an android tablet that is good for displaying photos. Big enough
that photos are reasonably easy to see. I also want to be able to point
to photos in one directory, and be hand the tablet to someone without
having to worry overmuch that they might accidentally see photos in
another directory tree. The last is, I am sure, much more of a software
than a hardware question.
What tablets would fit the bill, and how much do they cost?
I'm not completely dead set against iPads, but my experiences on iOS
devices have not been good so far.
While I was in hospital, my family bought me a Samsung Galaxy Note
10.1 (16 GB, WiFi version). I have nothing to compare it with but it
seems fine for displaying photos.
It doesn't have a USB port built in, but you can get a couple of
dongles that plug into its multi-purpose port - one provides a USB
connector and the other is an SD card reader. The tablet also has a
micro SD card slot.
Like Mark, I use QuickPic for displaying photos. Another application
that gets good reviews is Just Pictures but it has an annoying habit
of resetting the screen brightness to maximum and, if there's a way of
turning that 'feature' off, I haven't found it.
The Galaxy Note 10.1 sells for about $500 in Oz - probably less in the US.
