The screen on my gtab 7.7 is better, at least it appears better than my N7, so far. Still playing

Just repeat 3 times.
Nexus 7 is only $200. Nexus 7 is only $200. Nexus 7 is only $200.
Now repeat this 1 time.
The gtab 7.7 was $429 on a 2 year contract and $699 with no contract when it was released.
Would I pay over $400 for a Nexus 7? No I wouldn't. Would I pay $200 given that the screen is not equal to the gtab 7.7 or iPad 3? Yes I would.
nexus 7 is quad core!
Galaxy tab 7.7 has a superamoled screen. What did you expect. Thaw also why its over 600 dollars without a contract.

You guys are right no doubt. I love them both but a slight skew to the gtab

Super LCD > AMOLED, IMO.
My 52" Plasma TV has a bigger screen...
WTF Google???
That's it, I'm returning it!!!
WTF? Did you think the regular lcd of the 200 DOLLAR Nexus 7 would outclass your Super AMOLED Galaxy Tab 7.7? Have fun with your N7
Screen on the gtab 7.7 is a Super AMOLED + too. It's non- pentile.

Sure, but the N7 most definitely does not have a Super LCD so the point is rather moot.
Can the Tab run Jellybean?

Hey guys, I'm thinking about buying the nexus 7. Came across this article that compares all the current tablets. Is the source accurate? Should I buy the 16gb or 8gb one?

Specs look about right, except I think the Kindle fire has 1024x600.
For it's price and size the nexus 7 is the best. If you want full sized go for the transformer infinity.

Get the 16gb version asap. This device rocks. Very fast across the board.
there are a few not on the list dropping shortly. If you have 500 dollars i suggest Huawei media -pad 10 , 200, tegra 3 acer a110 similar nexus 7 less screen resolution but does has sd card slot and hdmi port. Might research more before you decide. and the nexus will get best support and development. so cant go wrong there either.
What do people think on how the n7 compares with Motorola xoom2 8.2 media edition which can be picked up for around 200 UK pounds...and will also receive the jb upgrade?

I was hoping that the 2011 tablets that haven't sold too well like the Xoom would drop to near fire sale prices because of the N7 but I guess not.

I think the xooms have dropped considerably in price...xoom.1 can be picked up for around 200..xoom 2 a little bit more

Given that you are asking on XDA...the Nexus 7 is guaranteed to have a massive development following. Other tablets are hit and miss. For example, the A500 has way more development than the A200, event though the A200 was one of the first ICS tablets on the market. What is especially weird is that the A200 has an unlockable bootloader and the A500 does not. But by the time the A200 came out, all the devs already had an A500. Acer tablets are very close to stock google, and they are pretty good about updates, but you never know where the development will be. So the A110 may be a great tablet...but given the massive presence the N7 has in the 7" tablet development world...I have my doubts.
It's just that i have purchased the n7 and not sure whether to keep or sell and get the xoom 2 media edition 8.2 which i can buy for a little more than the n7?

You are correct sir.
I have the Acer A100 and a Xoom. The A100 is good battery sucks so unless you can get one for around 100-120 don't waste your time get the N7. I can't really say anything bad about the Xoom is has reliable and will get a JB update. Now I think the 7inch screen is too small and personally I believe 8 is the perfect size. so I might try the Xoom 8.2 once they are cheap enough.

I just like 8 inches for a tablet not too big or small. For updates and support you can beat the N7.

That is $200 plus 24 times $ the amount you contracted to pay every month for two years. Not at all the same as owning a device out right.

Get 16G
I got the 16G, would have been happier if they had an 32G option like the Galaxy Nexus phone or an SD slot but 16G is usable, I wouldn't consider 8G given that it lacks an SD slot.
The performance of the Nexus 7 is very snappy and Jelly Bean is a real improvement over ICS so if you are going to get a 7 inch tablet the N7 is definitely the way to go.
I can't find a Xoom for any cheaper than $300 still. If it was like 150 or less, it'd be bought in a heartbeat.

Do you guys think the price might go down during the holidays for Nexus 7?
I don't think the price will go down soon with so many places being sold out and play store stop taking orders for the 16gb.
Hi, if you had a choice of getting a combination of a Smartphone a tablet and a E-reader, what would you get???
I would get a Nook +, A Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus 7.
The Note 2. All of the above.

Hi.
I'm looking to replace my Nook HD with a new 7' tablet. I've read and seen what the Kindle Fire HD can do but i would like to ask whether there is another one "better" in terms of processor performance, battery life, screen resolution/quality and gaming capabilities. I'm thinking about the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and the Asus Fonepad. (I have disregarded the Nexus 7 as it's old and a new one is on the horizon)
Please advice.
Galaxy tab 3 is on its way out here shortly as well...
I own the galaxy tab 2, and it is my favorite but the screen is worse, and I think the speed is a bit less as well.
What the tab 2 does have is a huge dev section, usb otg, and external sd card and it is smaller/lighter.
Fwiw in argument on the favorite part my wife won't let me run cm10.1 on the kfhd...when you use the standard kindle app from Google play you lose the kindle tts ability in its app.
The kfhd is also a brick...you can't break the thing. the tab 2 seems breakable with its glass screen.

Wait for the next generation of Nexus tablets or wait till Amazon updates thee kindle lineup, both should arrive towards the holiday season.

Talking about TTS, Ivona, the company behind the sensual internal voice of the Kindle, has been purchased by Amazon. http://www.ivona.com/en/news/amazoncom-announces-acquisition-of-ivona-software/
On the other side, comparing a stock Kindle with other stock tablets doesn't make justice to the machine, as Amazon deliberately masks its many potentials down the disguise of a cash register...
Put a Kinology rom on it and you'll enjoy a real and full of details racer....without losing the trading Amazon environment.
And yes, the Kindle app made for other androids doesn't have TTS on it, but Ivona works the same nicely on other much better readers from Market.
By better you mean readers that can't read kindle drm....

They are better, Moonreader, Coolreader for example, have multiple options that makes the reading more enjoyable.
Nor Kindles can read EPUBs, but that fearful DRM can be surpased(you have the right if you have purchased legally the book, and you have), you can convert from Kindle format to EPUB and reverse if you want, with a PC program called Calibre and a few secret hints that you can search.....
How do we know when a thread is talking about the first gen or second gen. Don't both devices (small and large) use the same names: HD & HD+
Thus how does one differentiate?

What second generation? There is only one.
The 7" is the HD and the 9" is the HD+. That is all there is.

Yeah... Not sure what the confusion is, you even differentiated them yourself. "HD, HD+"
