Will you cancel your Nexus 7 order and wait for the Nexus 10? Or... what are your thoughts? (This isnt Galaxy Nexus related but you get my point)
For me, depending on the specs.... I might just wait for the Nexus 10.
hmm wish I didn't read this. Tempted to cancel my 7in order, but trying to talk myself out of it and convince myself the form factor for a 7in is better
If $200 is your max budget for a tablet then I don't think it gets any better than the Nexus 7...
because you already know the '10 is gonna be the souped up/larger/higher priced.
Nexus 10 would be sooo much better than a 7" IMO. I'm really wanting to buy a tab right now, but just haven't decided yet because I really want a Nexus tablet but want a bigger screen than that!
I would like a 10", yes please However, they have to do it right. Compared to a 7", a 10" is, to me at least, more about media consumption. And I know google wants us to use the play store to get our entertainment, in my country there is no play store except for games. Plus a 10" I would use a lot more to watch films on trips, holidays, etc on which I do not have a WiFi connection.
A SD card (whatever size) is compulsory (or at least a USB port to connect a cardreader).
They can skip the back camera, haven't used mine on my prime.
10 inch tablets do nothing for me. They aren't portable and are terrible for reading on. The 7in is the perfect size for me. I sold my iPad because I just never used it (it was too big to travel with and terrible for reading books).
It's still "in the works" so it probably won't be coming out anytime soon.
The "Nexus 10" will be probably unveiled with the next Nexus Phone at the end of the year. The "rumors" a few months ago were 5 Nexus devices. We have the Nexus 7 and the Q, then this Nexus 10 and the Phone. Looking forward to what that last Nexus device will be.
A Nexus 10 I would expect to have the features and price tag to go up against the iPad and Surface.
The Nexus 7 has the features and price tag to go up against the Fire and the other Android tablets of that size.
So they're really two entirely separate market segments to chase.
(and I'm deliberating leaving the Playbook out of the conversation until we see what RIM can do with BB10 and a revamped design)

Hmm.
Phone, 7, 10, Q and TV?
Though really they should integrate the Q with a TV product, since I can't for the life of me place a use for it since it doesn't actually stream/store any local content. It basically has all the guts of a Smart TV, plus an amplifier minus the screen. If they'd turned it into a proper media server, then it'd make sense at that price.
I'm thinking that Google might try and hit a 'soft spot' on $299.99 value. Or at least go around there. I think that it'd be reasonable for a 10" tablet for $299.99 compared to current prices (~$395 for a Transformer 300)
The 7 will fit my needs wants better, I already have a almost 5" phone and a 10" tablet. I'm thinking the 7 will be easier to take out of the house than the 10" tablet.
according to Matias Duarte, the 7' is what people want!!!

There's a audience for 7" and 10".... is there a bigger audience for 7"? Yeah absolutely. Simply because it is a competitor against the Kindle and Nook, and its more "realistic" (to a certain extent) when it comes to reading magazines, books.
But there needs to be a Nexus tablet with proper TABLET UI as well as a flagship device for developers to 'test tablet apps' on.
Tbh, the 7" nexus would suit me better. Odd browsing, few games, news app etc. 10"seems overkill to me and the £150 price point makes it a very worthwhile purchase. Can't really go wrong for that money.

The size is the only thing I don't like about the nexus 7. I don't bring my tablet everywhere since I have my phone. My touchpad is a good size I think. Maybe a little Smaller would be nice. 8-9"seems like a good size.

I actually quote myself from the nexus 7 thread :
I'm pretty sure I understand why Google decided to release it the way it did. Releasing a smaller tab with limited storage and therefore a lower price, makes it a different class than the iPad. Because of the low price lots of, LOTS OF, people will buy it so it. This will encourage more developers to develop tablet apps, so that in a year or something, google can release a 10 inch tablet saying it has good app support, which android tablets today just don't have

Completely incomparable. Different beasts.
First, go down to your local retailer and decide if you want a 7" or 10" tablet, then come back and ask about comparisons.
I've used both 10.1" tablets and 7"/7.7" tablets, and let me say: the experience is very different. 10.1" tablets are much more expansive, allow for many more widgets on the home screens, run ALL apps with their full tablet interfaces, and generally are more productive. That said, 10.1" tablets are also larger, heavier, less portable, and thus not as nice for things like ebook reading.
So, it comes down to how you'll use your tablet. Will you want to carry it around with you everywhere and use it for longer periods of time (where you have to actually hold it in your hands, vs. propping it in your lap)? Then maybe a 7" is right for you. Do you mainly use it in a few places and want to be able to show as much information on-screen as possible? Then maybe a 10.1" tablet is for you.
Both will run (most) tablet apps, and provide a good experience. Which is right depends ENTIRELY on how you'll be using it. So, there's no automatic answer for anyone--you need to think long and hard about what you want a tablet to do.
Or, if you're wealthy enough, just buy one of both.
I would buy both of them:cyclops:
Just ordered a Nexus 7. Funny, but it's much easier to spend $250 on impulse than it is $500. There's a lesson there, I think.
Lack of sdcard on the Nexus 7 is a killer, I'll probably lean towards the 700 down the road.

I tend to agree. With good enough performance, a smaller tablet seems better for gaming than a larger tablet. I've been checking out the Toshiba Excite 7.7, which is Tegra 3, 1280X800, and 7.7", so very close to the Nexus 7, and I'd rather game on it than any 10.1' tablet I've tried. Just lots more comfortable.
The Excite 7.7 is way too expensive at $500, and has some screen issues. So, I'll be giving the Nexus 7 a try. If the screen has decent white balance and temperature, along with the good brightness and such everyone's been talking about, I think it'll make for a great gaming and ebook reading experience.
Even if it does run a phone-like UI... :laugh:
"More Nexus devices are to come"
An interesting article: Google's Patrick Brady tells us how the Nexus 7 went from 'start to finish in four months'
So what's next? Brady repeatedly referred to the 7 as the "first device" in the Nexus tablet range, saying "we're always iterating on Nexus devices." That presumably means more are to come, but the important bit here isn't so much that Google's just out building cool tablets on a whim. Rather, they're building reference devices where they see a need.

One thing I have been thinking is that almost always after a Nexus Device has been released the manufacturer release an own branded, but slightly better version for a bit more wedge. (Desire, S2, S3).
I suspect in the not to distant future an Asus 7" tablet that is basically the NX7 but with micro sd and MHL will probably come out for about another 50 quid.
That said if someone from the scene came out and said that USB OTG was definitely working properly on the NX7 i'd buy one tomorrow.

I'm looking for a tablet around $200 or less. The cheaper the better, of course. I am wanting to try and somewhat replace my now bulky 17 inch laptop with a tablet, and will mainly do web surfing, watch videos, read books, and the only games being played will be Angry Birds and Draw Something. I've been looking around, and the the Nexus 7 looks awesome, but I dislike the limited storage since I would like to store a lot of movies for on the go watching without WiFi. There is the pricier 16GB version, but I would rather not spend that much. Other tablets support MicroSD cards, which is awesome. With its higher end specs, I also feel like I would be wasting it on the simple stuff I plan to do, and the 7inches might be too small for my liking. (Maybe if I held it that opinion would change.)
I see other tablets on Amazon that have bigger screen, but the reviews don't make it sound appealing with comments saying the device doesn't work well, or feels cheap. I see other tablets from China that don't even seem to have a brand, which makes me wonder if many apps support them. Actually, that is just a concern with any type of tablet.
I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions on some nice not-so-fancy tablets under $200. Preferably with bigger screens. Thanks in advance for any comments!
If you want a decent tablet please don't buy a cheap one you will regret it
Google Nexus 7 is the way to go - comes with Jelly Bean
what about Kindle Fire or NOOK Tablet? the latter also has support for micro SD (up to 32GB)

With Christmas fast approaching, I originally planned on purchasing myself an upgrade to my 2 year-old laptop. Yet, besides gaming which I am for the most part not particularly bothered about and can easily do still on the family PC, Xbox 360 or through OnLive, my current system proves more than capable for almost everything I can through at it - even if a bit slow on more laborious tasks such as video rendering (something which I have done only about three times in an entire two year period). Now, whilst this isn't a definitive decision, I think it may be nice to purchase a tablet for use downstairs as I dislike having to carry my laptop up and down to/from my room all the time especially when I want to just do a bit of light web browsing. Whilst the most obvious choice might be the Nexus 7 for most people, I own a Galaxy Note (which has a large 5.3" screen) and it is because of this that I don't see a 7" tablet as a worthy investment for such a measly increase in screen size. So, what do people here feel to be the best 10" tablet (so long as it will be publicly available in the UK by Christmas 2012)?

The note 2 does have good specs, but with the infinity out, that right now is the best. But the note does have benefits as in touchwiz, touchwiz apps, all the S software, and the pen.
I'd say if you have the money, get Surface Pro or RT or any other Windows Tablet. Im afraid that you won't be satisfied of the x86 tablets battery life, well you could buy something cheap now and wait for new Intel processors, which should reduce power usage by many times. New CPU's are coming next year, and that should mean more battery life for Windows tablets.
If not "metro" then...
From android side, Nexus 7 or Transformer Prime Infinity. Seems like the 3rd branch of Nexus 7 is out and should elimante the screen prbolems many people had.
Or you could always get everybodys favorite, the iPad Although I would not recommend buying ipad right before christmas. Few months after new year new comes out and you'rse would be old.
All in all, if you have the money, buy Nexus 7 now and look for x86 tablet next year (or RT if the app store has envolved)

The RT version of Surface is not to my tastes, as it won't have nowhere near as many apps available as Android has come its launch. The Pro version of Surface, which runs a full version of Windows, is effectively just a very compact laptop in my eyes. Besides, I dislike Windows 8 greatly. The "Metro" UI (which is going to be renamed) is unappealing and the lack of a full desktop is worrying. As for a Nexus 7, no storage and a screen only slightly larger than my phone don't make it worth my time.

The Note 10.1 is not the Note 2. The Note 2 is the new version of the Note 5.3 and is a phone. The Note 10.1 is a tablet. It is just called a Note because it is part of a new range of devices which utilise the S-Pen, which is Samsung's version of a capacitive stylus.
I own an ipad but somehow i never felt a tablet to be of much use. But if you need to buy one, the galaxy note 10.1 seems impressive. But certain you tube videos shows that it is lagging in responsiveness in multitasking. You might want to check you tube videos to get an idea. But if you are not a S pen guy then you can get the galaxy tab much cheaper.
I won't personally recommend 7 in tablets.

Are you sure you need a tablet? If the Windows 8 Surface Pro is not tablet-y enough for you and you have a nice big Note, I doubt that there's much need to drop your hard earned money on something that brings limited value to you. It seems like an investment in a new ultra/air type laptop that is not a pain to lug around might be a better solution.

Hey guys I'm going to sell my tablet not because i don't like it did because I bought a Mac Book Pro . I can't justify having 2 really expensive Mobile items . I was thinking of just selling in getting a Nexus 7 but I know I'm going to miss the screen a lot on with the new iPod mini out the decision is harder . I'm looking for 7 to 10 inch solution that let's me write documents on the go ahead and transfer in the cloud . Watching netflix on the tablet has been my favorite part but I just can't keep a 500 dollar movie player
I dont understand. Why sell the infinity, and then ask for suggestions for a 7 to 10" tablet?
Sold it?
How much you expect you can get?
450 for a used tablet?
and then buy a Nexus 7?
lol?
well, if you buy it within 30 days, then get a full refund.
I don't even like to bring a mac book pro to school as it is still too bulky and heavy

I agree: it doesn't make sense. I wonder why did you make the decision to buy a Mac Book before asking the question. You are eating your dessert first, mate! Well, IMHO, you already made the decision - when you decided to buy the Mac Book; you just feel the need for some confimation.
However, to answer your question: I wouldn't change my Infinity for a Nexus/mini Tampax/Samsung. I would miss too much the screen and the joy it gives me when using it - like, right now, when I'm responding. If I'd need a 7" gadget, I'd wait until Asus brings out Nexus 7+ (or whatever they'll call it) with a Super IPS+ screen that would be readable outdoors, in direct sunlight. And would have a microSD card slot. I am not used to downgrading quality. :laugh: Your mileage definitely varies!
Hang on. Let me get this straight:
You can't justify a 500 dollar tablet...
But you buy a 1200 dollar Apple that has the exact same specs as a 250-350 dollar regular laptop?
I'm not seeing the logic here.
What you're going to get back for your Infinity will be about the amount you're going to have to pay for a new 7/10". So why bother selling?
Not catching the logic here myself.
Maybe what your saying is just worded strangely.
I'm pretty sure you won't be recouping a lot from selling the tablet.
The price on them is declining as of late.
I'm curious also as to why you didn't opt for an iPad3 instead of a Macbook?
iTons has a lot of sketch or handwriting apps that work pretty nice.
I would sell my TF700T plus dock in a heartbeat for a new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 from Verizon. I have a Galaxy Not e 10.1 tablet and it works just fine. I don' t think I'd miss the Infinity at all!
idk if you guys like your infinities or not but mine SUCKS. screen bleed huge lags i really want to get out of it and either buy a nexus 10 or the new ipad 4. why because my mac is too heavy. i feel bad that i bought a mac but its a long story and i want to sell my tablet okay ? i cant return the mac it was at one ofthose college stores on campus ( a campus im never going back to ). so im stuck with it ! already tried at the apple store in my town they wont take back 3rd party stuff. anyway
iipad mini. its the most portable tablet but its underspecced like hell. wait for a nexus 7 +, a micro soft surface or and ipad 4. those are the top tablets right now. and i want to get the best one for portability. what would you guys chose ? the ipad would intergrate with my mac a lot , but the surface has a keyboard already with it and a micro sd card which is really important. a nexus 10 would integrate well with the android apps i already have plus im planning on selling my htx one x for a nexus 4. my head hurts from all this maybe i should take a break from buying unecessary **** man
Hi guys, long story short, I'm in vacation with my grandma and she came to know the pleasure of using a tab, for reading books newspaper and play candy crush and cut the rope.
She uses both my galaxy tab 2 7" p3100 with CM 10.1.2 and my mother's ipad 3. Now she want to buy one for herself, and asked me what to do.
Now i have few things run trough my head:
Option n.1: buy her a cheap android tab, maybe from chinese manufacturer, she does not need super specs so who cares. But she is gonna use it for read books and newspaper so what to buy with a good screen? I'm not an expert in that range of things, what do you guys suggest?
Option n.2: make her help me buy a new one for me and give her my 6 month old galaxy tab, but so what can i buy? I dream of an xperia tablet z but i need a smaller then 10" screen and anyway my budget is limited to around 300€ also with my granda help. oh and i need it it with 3G built in support.
I wait for your suggestion!
Cheers

I would recommend the new nexus 7 just because the screen resolution makes text super clear. And it has an awesome price. I picked one up about a week ago, and I've only been using it for browsing, reading, and news, it's exceptional. I prefer the 7" personally because it can be more like a book and the portability and ability to type easily is nice. Find out if she prefers the ipad or galaxy tab screen size first. If the 7" seems to be too small you might want to consider 8-10".

I picked one up about a week ago, and I've only been using it for browsing, reading, and news, it's exceptional. I prefer the 7" personally because it can be more like a book and the portability and ability to type easily is nice. Find out if she prefers the ipad or galaxy tab screen size first. If the 7" seems to be too small you might want to consider 8-10".

She said is much or more the same for the screen. O already thought of the new nexus 7 but the with wifi-3G option is expensive to buy it for her. Moreover I'm in Italy and g-play does not exist here so it will surely be more then 349$. The nexus 4 here costs 500€ that are about 450$. ( if it is just for her I would prefer to spend a little bit less. If it is for me yeah it would be a great option. But pet's see when it is shipped to Italy.
Thanks for your precious opinion!
Edit: crazy idea make her fund a bit for the new plan with xperia z ultra in bundle XD
@augustine: i know that much but a 300€ device for a woman that turns 80 in september is bit too much. Maybe someone knows of a china fair enough tab
what do you believe of this tab.. price would be around $225 to $267 nd no it is NOT CHINESE... here is the link- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2392059
Do NOT skimp on a tablet for an elderly person. If things do not work right and/or are laggy, she WILL not use it. She expects a premium feel now. If you get her a crappy a$$ Chinese tablet (or any tablet less than 200 USD), she will hate it. Old people don't have patience for that kind of stuff.
If the tablet appear problem, the old people don't know how to fix it, buy a high quality tablet.
