Hey sorry man, I responded to this the other day and for some reason it looks like it didn't go through.

I'm planning quite a few things with it. Finishing stuff mostly. I can't wait to use it and see how it works out.

Ok I have some pics to post..................who wants to see them? No build pics, unfortunately, but I have some more equipment stuff and other things too.

I wanna see pics!!!

[scooter99]

Oh shit. I thought I posted tons of pics. Must have just done it on my fb page. I'll get them up today. Sorry guys!

[scooter99]

Gotta get some work done, then I'll post up pics. Slow Friday finally.

Yesterday got too busy! We're getting attorney's ready for vacation and it's always busy around that time. Today I swear!

Ok let's see if I can get some pics posted. Now, I'm not trying to turn this into some of the threads around here that look like the home shopping network, but right now that's pretty much what I have.

This weekend I will be done with the sunroom interior, and then next week I'm going to start juggling the exterior finish work, and getting back to working on this.

So let's get onto the new stuff.

I made a change that I wasn't really wanting to make, but in the long run, it's going to be worth it. We'll start with that.

I think some of you remember I was going to install the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in my car. I made a mount for it once, but it didn't work out because it was tilted too much toward the roof and got bad glare and just wasn't very visible at all. Well after that, and having an idea of what I wanted to do and how much work it was going to take to do it and make it look good, then also seeing a couple others that I absolutely DID NOT like, I decided maybe cramming a 10" tablet in the dash wasn't the best idea. Instead, while keeping the tablet format and not buying a double din unit, I decided to sell off the 10.1 tab, and picked up a new Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0. Also got some other goodies with it. Let's take a look.

Galaxy Note 8.0, HDMI dongle, and cheap case.

This is the HDMI dongle. This is so I can go HDMI to my converter. If you remember, or if you don't, the converter will take the HDMI signal and give me dual HDMI out for monitors if I want, but also gives me an analog RCA output, as well as and more importantly an optical digital signal out.

To get the HDMI signal to work, it has to be a powered signal. This is good two fold. It provides the power to the signal, but also charges the tablet at the same time! Win win!! So the standard mini usb port goes in this slot.

Cheap case. looks very similar to an ipad case, but it's not. It's just a cheapy. It was $6.00. The reason I got it was to possibly use it for the mount. But if I don't use it for that, it's quality enough for $6.00 that it will keep it safe otherwise.

Actually not bad feeling for a cheap case. Solid, so it will protect for sure.

Has these two little magnets to keep it closed.

felt suede type material inside.

Back is plastic. There you see the camera lens hole.

Onto the good stuff. The tablet itself.

Out of the box it feels pretty good. Honestly feels like a large phone. Course the way things are going these will be the phone sizes in the near future. Except the iPhone, they'll still be in the 4" screen range, a step behind, lol. Let's not start the war in here.

Has the home button and the menu and back buttons just like my S3.

This is the only side with anything on it. Has the power button on the top, and the volume up and down buttons under that. Looks like it has some kind of IR lens on the side as well, but I'm not sure about that just yet. I have to read up on it more.

The top is where the headphone jack is. Was a little disappointed in that they didn't give me headphones with it. All the phones come with them, why not the tablets?

The other side, nothing to see here.

This is the bottom where the mini usb port resides. This will be good for docking purposes.

Back side, has an SD memory card slot. This will be good if I decide to download all my music or whatever on one. I have to decide if i want to tether from my phone, or if I want to get a separate WiFi hotspot to connect to. Or if I want to just put music on the card. Still thinking on that one.

S pen. Look it up, I still don't know, but "it's not a stylus".

Nice little hiding place though. Again, I still have to do more research on it. Will suck if I have to get to it when it's in the dash. But I'll figure something out.

Accessories. Again, no headphones, boo. Got a hand book, usb cable for charging etc, and a wall charger. Pretty basic

The tablet in the case. Nice, sleek, and again, cheap.

Powering it up the first time. Very vibrant coloring, and display. Time to go play!
