Is there any other tablet that is similar to the Nexus 7 besides the Kindle Fire?
I don't mind whether it is just a rumor. The only one I know of is the Acer A110. Are there any others?

No because none of them will have jellybean
Rumored Kindle Fire 2.

Which probably won't have jellybean and if it does will have its ui replaced with some cheesy PLAYSKOOL like interface.
Also keep in mind that kindles will never have the play store, only the amazon app store.

Let's ignore whether it will have 4.1 on it or not.
Nope
None with the same form factor. But if we consider Android tablets as a whole, there's the Asus Transformer series. Considering that the Transformer Pad 300 just got Jelly Bean recently, it is a noteworthy tablet if you want something that is more productive.
samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0
its a 7inch screen same price
idk how good it is tho
No and that's the reason why when I finally bought a tablet it was a Nexus 7. The Nexus 7 finally filled that niche of power, price and portability. If you add on the fact that millions will be sold and it will be getting community support for years you can guarantee it will be a sensible purchase.
The only fly in the ointment is the spotty customer service from Google. However I think it's worth the risk.

Its not horrible ...dual core vs quad core. I think a slightly lower resolution, but it has a microSD slot. I would get the tab 2 7.0 if I were a media junkie. You know, having to have tons and tons of music, movies, and other media like that.

From various reports I've read from people who actually used both the Tab 2 and the Nexus 7, they always say that the Tab 2 is much less responsive as far as the UI goes. It seems like it's probably a software/ROM issue since the CPU is powerful despite being "only" a dual core.
I got me a Xoom with all the bells and whistles on release day. Paid a bit over $800 for the 3G Xoom from Verizon (no contract BS), Keyboard, the case, etc.
That was about a year and a half ago. I had it on 3G, then 4G for a while.. but then I just hardly used it anymore. With my Galaxy Nexus phone, I hardly looked back at the Xoom for a really long time. I ended up cancelling my data service through Verizon.
Now after using it for a bit again, I'm loving the tablet experience once more... but unsure about what I should do. I'm tempted to sell the Xoom and pick up the just-announced Nexus 7.
What kinda hurts me is that all the Xoom accessories are now going for a bit $300-350ish give-or-take. A nice chunk off of the $800+ I initially paid.
I know Jelly Bean is coming around for the Xoom in a few months (even longer for the 3/4G version..).
.. or I can just hop on the newly-released Nexus 7. From my perspective.. The Nexus7 has the same resolution 1280x800 res screen as the Xoom, while being smaller. This alone will result in a sharper and crisper display. Which right now.. after using the Xoom again, would be very much welcomed. I've been spoiled by high-DPI screens.
What do you guys think? Sell the Xoom, order the Nexus 7? Or stick around with the Xoom?
The end difference will pretty much be 7 inch vs 10 inch.
Other factors are negligible.

I will be out much earlier. On Google I/O (I watched it live on YouTube) it was said that JB would roll out to the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S and Xoom in mid july! Of course this only concerns the Google Experience-devices, not the Verizon-version. But as you said you have canceled your contract, so you could just unlock your Xoom and flash the Xoom-Wifi-firmware to get JB in mid july.
Then, like TheStickMan already said, it will mainly end up in the different screen-sizes.
Right now I still think the Xoom is a better device. It does come down to personal preference 10" or 7". We will have to wait and see this device with Jellybean . But you will lose things like HDMI mirror and USB OTG with Nexus 7.
Nexus 7 has no HDMI-Mirroring? Really? That's bad... Also the GNex has it...
Personally I got a Xoom (running CM9) and a Galaxy Nexus (actually running the leaked JB-release). And I thought about selling my Xoom and buying a Nexus 7.
Disregarding the point that I can't even order it in Germany yet, I think that, already having a nearly 5-inch smartphone I always carry with me, I don't really need a 7-inch tablet. A 10-inch tablet is better this way, even though I only take it with me, when I need it.
I don't think in Google's eyes the Nexus 7 is the successor of the Xoom. It an addition. And if you listen to the rumors it will get a successor by the end of the year, when the Nexus 10 may be released. Then, I think, I will replace my Xoom with a Nexus 10.
are u freaking nuts xoom rocks man :silly:
Makes no sense

Also no micro-sd slot for nexus 7 :silly:
Don't do it, xoom is better at all, yes, the nexus 7 is quad core and pure google but tegra 2 is a really good cpu and with xoom you have a great support in xda
I have a similar choice, although I only got my xoom last week so I can still return to the manufacturer this week.
I prefer the 10" form factor for tablets and the lack of hdmi out on the nexus7 is a bit of an oversight imo, although I can understand they wanted to keep costs to a minimum. Amazon are supposedly to release a 10" kindle fire tablet but without knowing the price/specs it is hard to decide.
This decision would be much easier for me if my uk model xoom was a proper GED like the US versions. I am reluctant to void warranty until at least six months has passed on any device before messing with flashing custom/other region's ROMS. Knowing the Xoom would defiantly get 4.1 in the next month or so would be a big factor!
Support for the Xoom is priceless!

Keep the Xoom
Like others have said, moving to the Nexus 7 you lose the SD card slot and hdmi port. I have also heard rumors about a 10 inch Nexus, so if you like the screen size of the Xoom maybe just wait.
I'm keeping the Xoom and getting the N7. Win Win....two 4.1 supported devices, 10" and 7" for separate purposes.
Def keep the Xoom. I actually like the fact that the Xoom has a rear facing camera as well. And a pretty good one at that.

I was also considering this. I want to upgrade the Xoom but i'm not sure whether to go with the Nexus 7 or the Transformer Pad Infinity.
I have a GNex, Xoom 4G and an Evo View [HTC Flyer]. All three sizes and I am VERY happy with all three. I would replace the Evo View but the stylus is too hard to give up.
Keep the Xoom. Just add the Nexus 7 to your tech harem. Then again, I don't have a lap or desktop, so I need the Xoom for productivity. You may not have that limitation.

Oh.. by the way the Nexus7 runs phone-mode. Xoom runs tablet-mode.
I'm sure this can be tweaked with custom ROMS etc, but something to keep in mind.

Don't take the Transformer Pad if you like updates. Only Nexus-devices are updated like Nexus-devices. Of course the community normally manages to build custom ROMs after some time, but those are better with the proper proprietary files. And, of course, most of the devs prefer Nexus-devices, so there is a wide range of ROMs and MODs available.
I wouldn't like to wait for month, so I only buy Nexus-devices or at least Google Experience-devices like the Xoom.
I had initially created this thread a few minutes after listing the Xoom on eBay.
I took the auction down late last night.
I saw the suggestion about just flashing the ROM from the Wifi-only one, and that's most likely what I'll be doing. It should have - but never really crossed my mind that I could just flash that ROM and ignore the 4G card's support that I wasn't using anyway.
Part of me really still wants the Nexus7 though
Though the part about it running in Phone-mode rather than Tablet-mode does bug me. I'll see how that goes after some devs get a hold of it though.
The screen DPI of the Xoom does still bug me though
I've bee spoiled by the likes of the Galaxy Nexus, iPad 3, and other beautifully-high DPI screens.
Link to play store.
Its good to see a Nexus 10" line official. The specs are absolutely amazing and while I love my Xoom, I'll admit, I'm tempted.
While the specs are nice, I'm not tempted one bit. No expandable memory, no buy.
I'll be buying 1 for myself! It's beautiful!
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
Honestly I don't see why anyone would be excited about this if they already have a Android tablet? The only thing that really looks good is the screen. If you watched the video there is lag when the pages are turned in the magazine app. I could understand if this was done on older hardware but when brand new just released has lag then there is a problem. I think the nexus 7 is a better device.
This is just my opinion though. I have a 4g xoom that I use every day for work and play that does excellent. The only device that looks good enough to replace it is the galaxy note 10.1 if it ever comes to Verizon.

No WAN option, so it's not a "True Successor" just yet. Let's hope they don't take too long putting one out, though (and that it's GSM- not CDMA, with optional LTE).

The Xoom was the G1 of tablets; a google experience device, a pre-Nexus device. The Nexus 10 is to the Xoom as the Nexus One was to the G1.
Branding is irrelevant.

And between the G1 and the Nexus One, you had the original T-Mobile MyTouch 3G and the original Motorola Droid which were the lead "Google Experience" devices for Android 1.6 and 2.0 respectively.

Why not? Even LG did a Nexus device, I still believe Google will make a new Motorola Nexus, because they bought the whole Motorola Mobility, they can easily control how the device will be done. And Xoom 2 was built before Motorola acquisition.

Why not what?
The point I was making was that the Xoom's successor did not need to be a Motorola device. The Nexus 10 is the first 10" GED/Nexus device since the Xoom and that's why it is, IMO, the first successor to the Xoom. The Xoom 2 may have shared the name but that's about it. Again, the point I'm making is that we finally have a new 10" Google device. OEM is irrelevant. What matters is that it is a Google/Nexus device.
I remain under the belief that "Google Experience Device" and "Nexus" are NOT the same. The Xoom is a GED - vanilla Android and a Honeycomb demonstration piece, but Motorola included 2 silly pieces of non-removable bloat ware in the form of games. Nexus products do not allow this. This further explains why the JB updates to the Xoom have been watered down, to make obvious that this is not a Nexus device. The absence of the "X" boot animation makes a clear statement to this fact.

In the August, 2013 issue of Consumer Reports the Galaxy Note 8.0 is rated #1 ahead of the iPad Mini in the "7 TO 8-INCH SCREEN TABLETS, WI-FI ONLY" category.
As it should be. Anyone who puts the iPad Mini first is either being paid by Apple, or delusional.
This issue of the magazine was the final reason for me buying this device to replace my iPad Mini.

The fact that a mainstream media outlet like CR has rated this relatively lesser-known product as the "best" in its category is certainly refreshing. But lets not get all fanboy here. Everyone has different preferences, uses their devices differently, and therefore has a different reason for considering one tablet "better" of "best" versus another. I love my Note 8, but I'm not going to belittle others, because they made a different choice.
If a person is heavily invested in the iOS ecosystem (such as purchased apps); or if they are not tech savvy, and don't want to learn their way around a new OS, the iPad Mini might still be a good choice.
Yes, if you base your judgement purely on technical capabilities and specifications, the Note 8 is the clear winner. Or for people that prefer customization, instead of being force-fed most aspects of their device's interface. But not everybody cares about such things.

i agree. i'm not sure if i'll be getting my daughter an android tablet for two reasons:
1. i've already bought her a lot of apps on her ipad and don't want to buy them again on android
2. i don't want to share my contacts, emails, everything personal with her when i set up her android device under my account. at least with ios i can set up email and store accounts separately. i can do it with android, but that'll require me to either make a dummy acct for the play acct or lockdown some of the apps, which won't work if she needed to use any of those applications - unless some of you guys have any idea on sharing an android tablet with family without having to buy apps twice.

While I havent tried the nexus 7 in great detail so cant compare, I do have a 10 inch tablet thats the same res as the note 10.1 and can say the difference between that and the 8.0 is great.
Best way to decide if its good enough for you is to look at the PPI figures...
Note 10.1 - 149
Note 8.0 - 213
nexus 7 - 216
Ipad Mini - 163
Ipad 2 - 132
Ipad retina - 264
As, you can see, the note 8.0 is much sharper than both the ipad mini and the note 10.1 almost identical to the Nexus 7 but not quite in retina display teritory.

Very thoughtful comments. My son is extremely smart and tech sac savvy, yet he chose Apple versus Android. We have quite interesting discussions. We never can agree on which one is the best, so I've opted to leave it as it.
As a manager for a large corporation, I do have some experience in marketing, production and design. Apple has great products, but their demise will be their lack of diversity. Samsung has too many products in so many markets and Apple will never be able to catch them. As we can ask see, all tablets (tier 1) are reaching a point of saturation and there will be nothing else to add to them until a new product arises.
So my estimation is that Samsung and Android are here to stay and Apple has but a few years left before they become the next BlackBerry.
But why rub it in their faces? Let's just let then living their dreams. No harm.

Valid points.
First thing I would do is list the apps that you paid for on iOS you would want on Google Play. I've seen that often the Apple App Store charges for apps that are free on Google Play. Once you've determined which apps those were, that would give you some concrete data to make a decision.
Once multi-user profiles are set one can "define" privileges. Or so I've read. I've not needed to do this myself but it appears others have.

Doesn't make sense, the aforementioned article mentions the Nexus 8 to have an 8" display running 1920x1200 with 8GB memory, those specs just seem like scattered rumors pieced together.
Oh well, we shall see.
There will be no more NEXUS devices released this year. There is NO new Nexus 10 & the Nexus 8 is only a conceptual device that has been submitted to Google by two manufacturers, with a third supposedly also working on a conceptual device.
When any of those devices are anywhere near a release, you will see VERIFIABLE evidence. Like FCC filings that actually make sense, not just someone blankly stating their is some mystery FCC filing without giving any evidence. You will also see things like service manuals & warranty documentation leak out. This happens with every device Google, or any Android partner, has ever made. There is actual supporting evidence, just like the Nexus 4 & 5 & the 7 & the 7 2013. So far there has been nothing even close to legitimate pointing to any of these devices being anywhere near a release. Just rumor, speculation & a few FAKED screen grabs.

I would love to see a Nexus 8 device released, but I'm afraid you're right. If Google was going to release one, they would have to do it now in order to take advantage of holiday sales. There is no good evidence for one, at this point, and the door is pretty much closed for this season.

There will be no more NEXUS devices released this year. There is NO new Nexus 10 & the Nexus 8 is only a conceptual device that has been submitted to Google by two manufacturers, with a third supposedly also working on a conceptual device.
When any of those devices are anywhere near a release, you will see VERIFIABLE evidence. Like FCC filings that actually make sense, not just someone blankly stating their is some mystery FCC filing without giving any evidence. You will also see things like service manuals & warranty documentation leak out. This happens with every device Google, or any Android partner, has ever made. There is actual supporting evidence, just like the Nexus 4 & 5 & the 7 & the 7 2013. So far there has been nothing even close to legitimate pointing to any of these devices being anywhere near a release. Just rumor, speculation & a few FAKED screen grabs.

What do you think of the LG - v510 then? It isn't g pad lte since that exists already: v507L.

Could just as easily be an LTE version for a different region, or even a carrier specific version. Again, no proof, just speculation & I seriously doubt even if it were a Nexus device that we'd see as thing this year.

Yeah, I also think Google will lauch the N10 somtime later this month
For Christmas Holiday, you know.
But I also believe "7" is better than "8". While if you go for 10 or above, then iPad is a better choice.
For the cost I would not say the iPad is better then the nex 10.

Dude, I HATE apple, but I will tell you flat out, hands down, the iPad & even the new KF HDX, both blow the Nexus 10 away handily. I use the N7 2013 as my primary, but have sold the N10 for an HDX 8.9 just as a media consumption device.
Samsung's processor & GPU is just inferior to the SD800 & adreno 330 & struggles with many events on the N10.

That's so obviously a fake render. No nexus cutout on the back? An Android 4.3 logo printed on it?

Wow, I just looked up the specs on that KF, what a beast!

I said "for the cost". The Ipad has drawbacks as well considering it does not use Android. I guess it just depends on the user as well. I know many people that have the Nex 10 and have never mentioned any "struggling" issues but again it depends on the user and the cost. While the Ipad may perform better and have a better display you will pay steeply for it. For me the extra cost just is not worth it plus I really can never go back to a system like that. I would honestly rather have a customizable system like Android with a little bit lesser performance, lower cost than have an expensive, fast device that I cannot really customize.
Just my opinion though bro.
For the cost, yep. The KF HDX is cheaper than the N10 was when I looked at the Play Store last week. As for performance issues, just check out Google's product & bug forum, or even the threads here. Horrible touch screen issues for many.
I use a N7 for most things & found myself using the 10" tabs for media consumption. I've had or have nearly every decent 8" to 10.1" tablet made in the last few years & the HDX is by far the best performing tablet I've used. Once gapps are possible, well my large tab search for near perfection is over for a while. Telling you, the SD 800 & Adreno 330 combo is amazing.

I really doubt it.
Nexus phones are usually 2 years apart. Maybe the nexus 5 got released a bit before the 2 year mark.
Tablets are usually staggered 1 year apart. Nexus 7 - Nexus 10 - Nexus 7 2013 and next is the Nexus 10 2014 edition.
I just wish there would be more apps that would more geared toward tablets and there would be more productivity involved. For example the stock calendar is absolutely horrible and there is nothing that really fits tablet and my fancy on google play.
