Default This tab looks really sweet, but...

Before I get flamed I purchased ipad 2 because at the time no android tablets supported Netflix. That was a deciding factor.

Looking at buying the 7" tablet btw.

So I have been debating on selling my ipad 2 and getting the new ipad, but I think I finally decided I am going to get an android tablet and would like to go a tad smaller. Then I might actually use it for its intended purpose. This tablet looks really nice, the only concern I have is if hulu plus and Netflix work on the tablet.

My tablet is used more for watching those two apps than anything else. Also anyone else go from an ipad to this and what are your thoughts?

Feedback would be appreciated as I will probably buy one Friday if it will work for me.

Thanks for the reply guys!

I was far more worried about Netflix than hulu. I watch 10 times the amount of Netflix than hulu.

Thanks for the fast response!

OP not to deter your original purpose but I was somewhat on the same boat as you. I had a TF101 and didn't really use it as it was too big to carry around with me and anytime I sat down to use it, it was easier just to pull out my laptop. Well I can say that changed with this tablet. It's easy enough to hold in one hand and is far easier to use than my laptop even when just sitting around the house making it my new go to gadget. If you want something smaller that is built well I would go with this tablet.

Both apps work fine but I don't think the Hulu Plus app from the market will install or run due to lack of hulu support. You can download a cracked Hulu app on XDA. ..just search for Landscape Mod Hulu Plus.

I don't know if this is helpful to your decision, but even tethered to my Droid X hotspot, Netflix runs flawlessly. I was stunned by the picture quality.

After reading your post I tried downloading the app and it installed fine and opened without any problems. I browsed around but didn't watch anything since i did not want to start my free trial yet.

As for netflix? Love it! i have the Tab2 10.1 and my wife has the Tab 2 7.0 and netflix came preinstalled on both.

IPod. ..you're correct ...Hulu plus from the market works fine. I was thinking of my HD2 phone.
