Sell my iPad 2 and get a Nexus 7 or....

What do you say guys, I have a Droid Razr Maxx and I'm not sure if the 7in screen would be that much different than my phone. So do you guys think I should sell my iPad and buy a Nexus 7 or what.

I wouldnt do it. But think about how you gonna use it, since you have a Android device it should be easier...

I was thinking the same. My OneX has a 4.7" screen. But when you think about it, a 7" screen is at least double the area of our phone screens. To me a tablet should do something that my laptop cant do already, and that is be ultra portable, and thats where the 7" tablet comes in could even fit in my pants back pocket at a stretch. Plus its only 200$ and a fun toy

I'm selling mine. I have an ipad and a MacBook air 11" so the ipad is out and the nexus 7 is in.

i compared the Samsung 7 tab to the ipad in a store at lunchtime.. the ipad is considerably bigger... that said the size of the Samsung convinced me the Nexus 7 would be a nice jump from my Galaxy Nexus screen so i pre ordered one.. i would have to add 200 euro to my store credit to get the 16gb ipad 3... i think it would be unfair to compare the two really... i am wondering though if i just want a 'living room' device would i be better of with a screen the size of the ipad... the decisions one has to make..

Depends what you use your ipad 2 for. If you play a lot of games on it then I would keep it. Android rocks but the games on it are not even close to what ipad has and is getting. I am hoping one day developers release those games on both systems at same time. I got a Nexus 7 but also keeping my ipad.

Good to know. Love my iPad 2, but the nexus 7 looks great!

Sold my iPad 2 for $350. Waiting on my nexus. I hate iOS. IPad 2 build quality was great. Just not ios

I sold mine for 350 as well, but hopefully all of ours will be shipped within the next 3 business days.

I sold my iPad 2 in to buy the Asus Infinity but a few days ago I traded a bunch of games into GameStop and put the credit toward the Nexus 7. I honestly did not have the intention of getting the nexus but GameStop does not have a preorder available for the Infinity yet. Today I received a phone call from GameStop to come pick up the N7, after a little deliberating I decided to do so... Long story not so short... I am soooooooo very happy I got the N7. Honestly, I am debating if I am going to get the Infinity now. I am absolutely very impressed with the N7.

I believe that there is no comparison between the two. n7 is a great device but is more ipad

Any conclusions from the people that sold their iPad 2's to get a Nexus 7? Do you like that you made the trade? Wish you hadn't?

I have the iPad 2 and looking I plan on purchasing the nexus 7 once quality improves. However, for me, I plan on keeping both. Each has their own advantages and disadvantages IMHO.
For my use, a 10 inch (iPad 2) has advantages when my laptop or netbook are not with me. I don't game. I use my iPad 2 for email, calendar, salesforce.com, and basic doc/xls/ppt editing. Most of the time, I travel with just my iPad 2. It may not be a performance powerhouse, but it works consistently and reliably.
A 7 inch(nexus) provides better portability for those times that I need to check something quick (calendar/email/view a doc) and don't want to boot my laptop or netbook.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

use some of the money you made and but some good tegra 3 games especially dark meadow, it's amazing

I do 95% of my gaming on my laptop, the only games I really play on my iPad are words with friends and draw something. I mostly use my iPad for school books and taking notes in class with my stylus.

Do you still use or miss your old Transformer Prime?

Do you still use your TF201? Or miss it if you sold it?
I bought the TF201 with keyboard dock in mid February. I was, like every other Prime owner, very stoked to own one. The most powerful and expensive Android tablet, first with Tegra 3, ICS, keyboard dock, etc. I loved blowing peoples minds when I'd pull the screen apart from the keyboard. It was like my second child.
I sold that thing as soon as the Nexus 7 started shipping. I was hesitant at first because I kept thinking about how going from a Prime to a 7" with NO ports, no camera, no storage expansion, would be a downgrade.
So, I realized that any other tablet that was out around the beginning of July was just blah to me. The only thing better than the Prime was the Asus Infinity, and it was just a Prime with a higher res screen. Meh.
I got my Nexus 7 and do not miss the Prime one bit. Between the **** WiFi and GPS, and the bug ridden software,and the fact that I got this kick ass piece of N7 tech for $200, I feel like I got raped on the Prime.
The only way I might possibly use the Prime if I still had it, would be to play Asphalt 7 or Dead Trigger via HDMI on my TV. Other than that, don't miss her at all!
The Nexus 7 is something fresh, and it does deserve all the praise it's getting. When I can honestly say that I prefer the $200 Nexus over a $650 high end flagship device, I call that an epic frickin win!
Do you miss your Transformer?!

Hell no man. I am in the same boat as you. I am finding the 7 inch form factor with the Logitech BT keyboard is a killer combo.
I only miss the micro SD and HDMI. But the price difference and usability far make up for those things fortunately. And I have mine rooted with stickmount so I can use SD cards and what not so that helps.

Lol nice! Yea between the 7" size and me actually buying some music, magazines, and books because of the $25 credit, I'm using my Nexus for more and more, and using it differently than all my other tablets. I also think it kicks the Primes ass in performance, and I flashed every TF201 ROM/kernel/mod there is. But comparing both out of the box I think N7 gets it.
I'm so happy with the Nexus, I have no plans (yet) to even root, unlock, or flash Roms. And I'm a flash whore
I have to admit, I do want to enable the full tablet UI on the Nexus. So right now that would be the only reason to root.
Just curious...since there are a few different ways to root, which method did you use?

I hated my Prime with a passion. The only thing I hated more than my Prime was my Xoom. It felt cheap and was plagued with bugs. It was the, dare I say Prime of the android tablets, but that wasn't saying much at all. Sold both of them and got the retina iPad and although it was running iOS it was a much much much better tablet experience. It is my new baby and doesn't let me down. I had turned away from android (/in tablets not in phones I love my Galaxy Nexus) and wasn't ever going to look back. That was until the Nexus 7 launched. I mean I back during the rumors I always felt I was going to get one I mean a sub $200 Nexus branded 7 inch tablet what Android enthusiast wouldn't, right? Well, I was blown away by the Google Nexus 7 announcement at IO and ordered it a few minutes after I could. I got it and I love it. It doesn't feel like a stale old android tablet at all and I think Jelly Bean and Project Butter are the main reasons.
I still have my iPad around and it is still my favorite tablet, but the Nexus is great for reading and the Dev community is going to be great. I'm still not a giant fan of ASUS hardware, but this feels much better built than the Prime any day. The display isn't the greatest especially when having the better than great retina, but those are small things I can get over especially considering the cost. The only thing I'm really having a rough time with is the same thing I've always had a rough time with android and that's the severe lack of not just tablet apps but apps in general. I hate to beat a dead horse, but after months with iOS and the great apps and developers on that platform it feels like taking a giant leap backwards. I mean the 7 inch form factor does make the apps better than on any 10 inch tablet but still it just feels stale. Right now its just a great toy, excellent ereader and developer device as I continue to learn to code. Let's hope the popularity of this device brings some great apps. I'm glad you are all loving your Nexus 7 as much as I have.

Its a Nexus man just plug it in and cd to the SDK and type fastboot oem unlock. Unlock your device. Through fastboot flash your recovery and install superuser and your good to go. No exploits to worry bout at all. It was the first thing I did when pulling it out of the box. I'm still running the stock out of the box 4.1.1 software image, but that's because it is so great. Mine was a little laggy while flipping through home screens so I'm running Apex launcher and that is honestly all I've done. Its been great and Jelly Bean really is much better than ICS and I won't use any phone or tablet unless it is the Nexus branded type. I just can't stand the bastardized skins and being always at least one full android version behind.

I hear ya. When I went to buy a new tablet in February, I was told that Primes couldn't even be ordered at the time. So I went thru 3 tablets in 9 days. When I went to exchange the 3rd tab for something else, there was nothing else. I actually considered just buying an iPad, but being a hardcore fandroid, I didn't. I was then told I could order a Prime so I did. Happy as can be for a few months. Well, last week the wife brought home her company iPad 3, and yes, it was very nice. Long story short, I sold my Prime for $460, bought an 8GB Nexus 7, and a mint black 16GB iPad 2 off Craigslist for $225 We now have a Kindle fire, Samsung GTab 8.9, Nexus 7, HTC Hero S, and a lonely iPad.

Nope I haven't touched mine since I got my new nexus. Prime is getting sold off me thinks.

I have the original transformer tablet and am keeping it mostly due to use of news360 app. So basically my 10" transformer has turned into a sitting on the coffee table in a stand dedicated news360 newsreader while my 7 does everything else.

I was hesitant at first to give up all the Primes premium features,like the HDMI,camera,SD slots, but I realized I never used them that much. I don't regret my choice one bit. Especially since I just installed the camera launcher app, just in case I need to capture a shot of my 2 year old daughter. Love my sexus Nexus

I had two primes, ASUS bought them back from me, and I don't miss them. One of them had the glass cracking while docked problem, and I did not trust that the second one would not do the same thing. Too expensive of a device for all it's short comings. I now have three 7's in the family. Good little units, only problems is the left side screen lift issues.
Shame on ASUS they need a better assembly/quality control process.....

i still have my prime. unlocked and running Androwook 2.1 with motley alpha kernel with overclock. its been running great. i will say i find myself using the nexus 7 more often. this device more than exceeded my expectations on it. it runs great. i have it unlocked also. running stock jb rom with motley linaro kernel with GPU & CPU overclock. runs like a champ. i would never get rid of my prime just to get a nexus. ill keep both ill eventually pass off the prime and get something else to replace it down the road.

Sold my prime and KB dock right away. Don't miss it at all.

I had the iPad 3 and still keeping it along with nexus 7. I use to have galaxy tab 10.1 last year which I sold this year in feb and I don't miss it at all. As a matter of fact I was very happy after selling it along with dock, TV out cable case etc etc. I bought amazon kindle in feb just to avail the prime service. I also sold my iPad 2 and bought iPad 3. I gave my kindle to my 6 years old sun as soon as I ordered nexus 7.

Nice that is one hell of a trade if you ask me. You basically traded the Prime (which is not a great tablet in my opinion after own in about 5 months) for the two best tablets on the market. I love my combination of retina iPad and Nexus 7. I honestly use them both all the time. My Galaxy Nexus has pretty much been a dedicated LTE hotspot, my iPhone 4s my texting and phone, and my Macbook Pro basically just sits there with my PS Vita. After a year and a half with the Xoom and Prime I kick myself for not just getting an iPad 2, but it makes me appreciate both my tablets all the much more now. Android tablets really aren't that great at all and Google sees that and is making an attempt to fix the wrongs the OEMs have done over the past year and a half.
I love my Nexus for reading it is the perfect size and weight. The only things I would change is the display to one comparable to the displays apple uses and the extreme lack of apps. Honestly though I can deal with that as it is only $200 and to be honest if I'm going to use apps I will use them on my retina iPad. There is no comparison when it comes to android vs apple on the application front. I hope that changes, but for now its something we have to deal with.

Hell, I wish I had a transformer prime! When my iPad 2 goes to gadget Valhalla, I might just invest in a nice 10" tablet if I have the cash to spare. There's no such thing as too much computers!

Your all talking about selling the prime, unless you need the money, wait until aosp/cm10 has come a bit further, unlock that ***** and throw jelly bean on it....that'll really unlock the potential of it. It's still a great device its just severly handicapped by Asus making us practically beta testers.
The N7 is soooo great tho, I can't put it down

I am uncertain as to what I would do with more than the 600,000 apps provided to me by the android ecosystem and therefore see no reason to spend excess money on an apple product. In other news, I have been pretty much consistently hands on the nexus 7 since I got it last Tuesday.

I still use my 201 for some things. Docked it totally replaced a laptop and I love it. Still, 10” is a bit on the heavy side for couchsurfing.
I use all of my and Android devices for different things... Like Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7 and Transformer Prime covers every thing.

Almost took the plunge tonight...

Was in my cart from play store. Complete impulse buy. I don't need it. I don't even know what I would use it for. I just rooted my touchpad, which will keep me happy for a few days. Have a galaxy s3, which I love. Does everything I need. I was wavering tonight between this, the g-note, and the Asus transformer i700. The last two get such mixed reviews...so I'm really leaning towards this. I think the smaller screen and cheaper price tag make it a much better choice. I just want a new toy. I'm hoping I can see one in person tomorrow.

I had an iPad 3 before getting my Nexus 7. Now my wife uses the iPad 3. I just can't stop using the Nexus 7! I find myself use my computer less and almost don't use my phone except for as a phone or when I'm out and I don't have my Nexus 7 with me.
If you don't have a family member who can take your old tablets off your hands, I'd recommend selling them or trading them in and get the Nexus 7. Assuming you get a flawless unit, you'll love the little guy.

I barely use my macbook pro anymore...even though I love it. I find the gs3 really satisfies everything I need. The bigger pads are just too big to be comfortable. If I were to get a bigger one it would probably be the iPad3, seems like the best overall package. Just hate that I can't customize it as much. I think the 7 will really be the perfect fit for me. Just hope that I get more use out of it than my HP.

WOW slim do not be such a dizzy..
As far as this Device I love the size . It seems to be the size vs the other bigger tablets . A phone or galaxy note is to small for a tablet. but to big for a phone.. I am the owner of a ACER A500 AND Love the Device. My spouse uses it on the couch now since i have my Nexus with me all the time. She is becoming and Android APP.CHIC.. I love that i can fit this in my smaller purse or a bigger clutch type bag and pack it anywhere and still look Good ..Not like im packing a Diaper bag to hold my tablet in...
I say its a personal thing rather this fits your needs or not.. If you have a bigger device you could very well think this is too small..
Look at the specs and what you want it for and make a Educated decision do NOT base buying anything on some one else saying they have and Love it.. GET WANTS Practical for you as long as there is NO APPLE ON IT.. APPLES ARE FOR WORMS ...

I own both an iPad 3 and a Nexus 7
I tend to find the Nexus is better for organisation, also for reading news. However the iPad is better for "Creating" content, or for doing actual work. Purely because it has more apps (and very good ones too)
Hopefully Android catches up and offers high quality content creation apps soon
I would recommend a Nexus tho

Not a i-bashing thread just a wonder

ok this thread is not to bash i-anything. this is not a rant but a wonder. please do not post any apple-offence here this is strictly equal-sided debate.
now ive been wondering this since i got my nexus and began the usual web-crawl for info on my new device. and what i find the most one sites such as youtube? well.....the thing is its REALLY getting my on extremities is......
why are there so many people comparing the nexus 7 to the i-pad 3?
like i really dont get it,.. i mean how can anyone justify comparing a 7 inch tab to a 10 inch tab? like lets be honest you wont see any of these same people comparing the nexus 10 vs the ipad mini would you?
like ipad mini vs nexus 7 i would see the point as they are in the same class....but this is like we put forward.....our medium rate device in the fight....apple bangs straight in with theyre best ever......and we still give them a slapping so how can this be a comparability of performance?
it just really grind my gears how these "vs" matches are just stupid as any techy would think the same way no?
peace:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

You could look at it another way: People are comparing the Nexus 7 to the iPad 3 because it punches above it's weight
Either way, my boss is unwrapping his new iPad mini opposite me right now, so I'll compare it with my bought-2-days-ago Nexus 7.

As Mickey says, if you compare the ipad mini against the Nexus, the Nexus will win. There appears to be a media bias towards Apple in many quarters, so if they compare it against the iPad 3, they can maybe make the Nexus lose.
Look at it as a compliment.... a bit like if someone compared me to Brad Pitt.... though obviously I'd win easy.... much like the Nexus

err......what?

I see all the comparisons between the Nexus 7 and the i-pad3 as being there was no mini out at the time, and if you are going to compare might as well go at the king of pad. I for one did fine some of those comparisons very good but only as far as durability went. If you think about it you can not even compare the 7 to the mini as they are not on the same os, for a true comparison you would need same os for speed and other things.
I for one was going to give a I-device a try, I admit that I am a big I-hater and mostly fueled by the price, I had heard that the mini they were going to change that..... Then I saw the msrp and went out and bought the nexus.

It depends, on what you want, really...
You could even argue that N7 doesn't have a better screen, as resolution isn't the only thing that matters.

Is this overkill?

So I own an iPhone and an iPad and I just bought a Nexus 7 today. I'm wondering if anyone thinks this os overkill? I heard a lot of good things about the nexus and I feel like a 7 inch tablet would be easier to use and more portable, plus its a great price. I didn't get it planning on getting rid of my ipad. So is having 2 tablets overkill or are there other people out there that have 2?

So I own an iPhone and an iPad and I just bought a Nexus 7 today. I'm wondering if anyone thinks this os overkill? I heard a lot of good things about the nexus and I feel like a 7 inch tablet would be easier to use and more portable, plus its a great price. I didn't get it planning on getting rid of my ipad. So is having 2 tablets overkill or are there other people out there that have 2?

Nope.. Not even close to overkill and quite normal actually. I own a Nexus S, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10.

So what types of things do you do on your 7 vs your 10? Or is it a difference of where you use it?

I use my Nexus 7 as a interim replacement of sorts for my Nexus S. Nexus S is a great phone, Google has supported it well and have got my moneys worth out of it.. The problem is.. It's old and just slow.. Its been regulated to being used as just a phone. So the Nexus 7 fills in the roles that have just become unbearable to do via the phone. ie: Maps, Navigation, Music, Email writing etc etc.. It's the perfect high end day planner to grab and go with.
My Nexus 10 fits in everywhere else.. It's usually sitting with me at the PC.. When I'm doing something fullscreen like gaming, or doing an install etc I continue doing my reading, watching a movie, internet etc on the Nexus 10. Since my 40 inch LED for my PC also is used by my Wii-U my Nexus 10 is used in the same light. I can game etc on my Wii-U and keep the N10 around to keep dibs on my internet world. It's also excellent to read with in bed as the large screen and high resolution makes reading at night very easy on the eyes. My Nexus 10 is also my gaming device. There isn't a single game (except solitare) on my Nexus 7.. My Nexus 10 is packed with them.. I never have to worry about bad performance and even simple games like Angry Birds etc look phenomenal.

The difference between us being my iPhone works great so I can use it for things I could use the Nexus for. Lol it's funny that I bought it without a specific use in mind. I guess ill figure it out or return/sell it.

I have a gnex, n7 and n10. N7 goes with me everywhere and use it as a planner/notetaking. N10 stays at home. Gnex is being used as a phone (obviously) mp3 player and apps. My MacBook pro is slowly collecting more dust. My work is going to also provide me with an ipad. Lets see how that changes things.

Personally I think it would be a bit much, but it's just down to personal preference. I have a Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7. Thanks to the Nexus 7, I don't have anything at all really on my Gnex. Just music and a few daily apps. The Nexus 7 takes care of everything else, and it's also what I tinker around with for ROM's and Kernels.
So personally I would have no use for a Nexus 10, but that's just me. It would be fun to play around with for a few weeks, but I doubt I'd use it much after that. And due to it's size it would be home mostly - the N7 fits in my coat pocket which I really like about it.

I have the Nexus 4 and the 7. Plenty for me, I have considered buying a chinease iPhone clone (just to trick friends into thinking I got an iPhone) but there like 200$

I have iPad ,iPad 3, iPad mini nexus 7 and galaxy note 2 and I don't think that's excessive; granted I have 4 young kids who use the iPad 1 and 3 exclusively and my wife uses the mini iPad. Honestly I hate the size and weight of the regular iPad. If I had to get rid of any it would be the iPad 1 and 3. The 7 inch size is way more portable

You know, there's something still to be said of owning a device just for the sake of owning it.
Nothing wrong with keeping it around as a "toy" if you fail to find a particular use for it. That's assuming, of course, money isn't an issue. Far too many of us don't have that luxury these days...

yeah i think that's kinda why i wanted it. a toy to play with. i love gadgets. i love playing around with roms and such on android devices. i have to decide whether it was smart to spend the money or not though lol.

The 7 is a great developer device... If you like fooling around with things and customizing them until your heart is content, then you will love the nexus 7. I personally find no need for a tablet as big as the nexus 10 / Ipad, my laptop is faster than hell with 8 gigs of ram and a solid state drive so if i need something more than my 7 I use that. After buying the 7 I don't think I will buy any android device that doesn't say nexus on it though, it makes my galaxy s3 look outdated.

LOL, I have an iPad 3, Nexus 7, Galaxy S3, Touchpad, LG Revolution and a Droid X.
That is probably overkill, but whatever's clever!

Do you actually use all of those? Do you have specific uses for them? I dunno I'm thinking I should return it because I could use the money for something I actually need.

Lol, I really just use my Nexus 7, S3 and iPad. The other ones from time to time. If you don't have a need for it, and could use the money elsewhere, I say return it.
All of these things really are toys/wants, not really necessities.

True. The fact that I feel super guilty about buying it means I probably should return it.

What do you use your nexus for vs your iPad?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Honestly? I really use both devices for the same thing. Some games, web browsing, email, Facebook,twitter, Flipboard, Google+, etc, etc. I really have found myself using the Nexus a lot more because of the form factor. It is so tiny and easy to carry around, and is very powerful.

So really you could get rid of the iPad and be fine
