Do you like waiting for almost 6 months for an update or do you want it to be on your nexus the next day after it comes out? And nexus has no stupid ass Samsung crap in it. Go nexus you won't regret.

I just sold my galaxy tab plus (very similar to tab 2). Couldn't stand the random reboots or the lack of support from Samsung. I heard last week that they are finally rolling out ics for the 3g version in Europe. Still nothing for the US or even the wifi version.
I think I am going to try to stick with nexus devices in the future.

I've had my Galaxy Tab 10.1 since last fall and I've never had a problem with it other than the limiting 16GB of space. No random restarts or reboots. I dumped the TW launcher for GO Launcher HD and never looked back. I barely remember what TouchWiz looks like.
I'm looking for a smaller tablet or PMP right now. After months of dealing with the lack of space on my Tab, the lack of storage on the Nexus killed that from me right from the start. At least offer a 32GB model for $299. Not all of us are surrounded by hundreds of free wifi hubs where we can stream video on the go. I want that stuff on my tablet. And with HD movies around 5-6GB each, it's not unreasonable to want more than a solitaire app and one movie on a tablet.
OTG cable and a usb stick...
Root your tablet and connect a usb disk

Can you get more memory by removing apps on the nexus 7.I saw the nexus 7 8gb have only 5.9gb

I think you're better off putting all media in the cloud, and only apps on the nexus. Then figure out how to use a usb stick during the times you might need your media offline. That was my plan with another tablet anyway, but I never actually needed to use my flash drive... In over a year... Its good to know it can be made available if you do need it though. I did use over 8gb space though, so I bought 16gb nexus. I am gifting the 8gb nexus to someone who uses a kindle fire without running out of room. The device you need depends entirely on your usage and availability of wifi or data tethering.

The first 2 GBs are taken up by Android and the file system. Not much you can do.

Hmm.... I only use nexus 7 for some hd games, surfing, YouTube. All my videos, music are already on my galaxy s2. I think I can live with 8gb

Hello,
So, topic pretty much says it all.
I would like to buy a Nexus 7, but because I always carry my smartphone with me and it pretty much does everything I need it to, I am afraid of spending the money and not using it enough to justify the cost.
So, what's your case? For what do you use your tablet?
Do you regret buying it?
Cheers

I use it pretty much constantly, its almost as portable as my phone and much more ole sent to use due to the better screen and battery life. I think it is a good investment

As a student it's nice having this battery life without having to haul my laptop around.

I have always preferred using my phones over my laptop....since I bought the N7 not only have I not even glanced at my laptop I haven't been using my phones that much either...which has been great for their battery life I use the N7 for pretty much everything....paying bills, browsing, texting, etc...which are all the things I did on the phones. If I didn't need the laptop for Odin or kies, I would sell it.

No.

I've carried an iPad with me constantly for the last couple of years, so I knew exactly how I would use my N7. At work for note-taking in meetings, checking email when away from my desk, logging on to my Citrix desktop, listening to music or watching a video when work gets boring In personal time, I watch videos and play music, check email, read (books, magazines), browse the net and play games.
It's never far from my side and gets plenty of use! Justifying the $300 price tag vs. $500-600 for an iPad (I paid more than that for my iPad 1 a couple of years back) is a no-brainer for me.
Don't regret it one bit. My PC is getting far less use at home now (good considering I spend 8 hours a day in front of one at work) and my has been relegated to phone duties.
I don't regret it at all. I use my tablet pretty much every day for most of the day. Like many others have said, I rarely use my laptop for anything anymore unless I have a ton of typing to do.
Not one bit! I haven't been able to put it down since the day I brought it. Sold my laptop and my desktop gets used less and less. I've also been using my Evo LTE as just a phone now lol. Excellent purchase in my book. Trust me you won't be disappointed. If you ever find yourself not using it, you can easily sell it and recoup some of your money.

The thing is I previously had an HTC Sensation as a phone and an HTC flyer as a tablet.
Was using almost always the sensation because the flyer always stayed at home.
Ended up selling both and got a galaxy note to try and have the best of both worlds.
Granted the nexus 7 is a different beast from the flyer, but I fear the same might happen...
Thinking about selling the note and pick a nexus as a smaller phone and a nexus 7.
I am afraid to end up feeling the nexus is too small and the nexus 7 too big to carry around.

I have the GNote and GNex and after using the GNote everything seems small, but the GNex feels like a toy after I've been using the GNote all week. I wish the GNex was a little bigger....even my sgs2 looks bigger next to the GNex, even though it's only 4.5.Hoping they make the next nexus at least 4.8....although "leaks" of specs are rumored to be the same size as the GNex.
Since I got my nexus 7 I don't think I've put it down unless its for charge wile I sleep. Rarely use my xperia s unless I'm out and about. Ive never used my laptop much before anyway. Unless it was for uni. I carry my nexus all over the house. Whether its for readings books, browsing tapatalk or just generally browsing. When I hold my xperia after the n7 it feels so small lol.

I bought a second N7 because I found that when I had to charge it I missed it too much. So I bought another one so that I'd always have one at my disposal

Mine has replaced my phone for everything but calling, texting and navigation. Gaming, web, reading ebooks and comics...all more comfortable on the N7.
I'm actually thinking of selling/trading my GNote and getting a Nexus.
I can do everything I did with the SPen just as easily on my N7 with a standard stylus too and my storage needs are happily met with my external drive.
Love the Note but it's usefulness as a phablet isn't there for me anymore.

It all depends on what your current phone is, If it's a SGSIII or other high end device then the Nexus 7 isn't much of a improvement other then having a bigger screen.
I actually still use my SGSIII more then the Nexus 7 as I can do everything and more (like being able to pocket it) on the phone while the Nexus 7 is now just a coffee table family tablet. Games are kind of nice but some of them are very hard to control due to placement of virtual joypads.
I guess I'll either give away the Nexus 7 or figure some other use for it.

There is no comparing a sgs3 to a pure Google tablet. Just no comparison.
Even my GNote at 5.3 is isn't useable as a tablet. Don't know why you think the N7 isn't much of an improvement over a 4.87 ics, touchwiz PHONE.

I use mine quite a lot, still use the phone, but at home I'll use my N7, and sometimes ill take my N7 to work so will use it their, and on my commute to work.
I love this thing.

That's interesting. I just never really understood the point of these tests. You cannot conclude anything from one experiment. They would have to repeat it several times to see if they achieved the same results. Otherwise it could just be a random event that is impossible to reproduce.
Exactly these tests like these are small battles that don't need to be fought..... Every drop is not the same

I recently watched a video of window multitasking that was launched by rockchip. Here is what I am talking about:

It works extremely smooth. It would be nice to have it on our N7.

Great find!!
Personally I don't know why these features aren't available standard in then OS and we are left to deal with "multitasking". Hardware has been solid for over 2 years and the existence of mobile muti-core processors is yesterday's news, there is no reason why this couldn't been achieved sooner....
I think that developers took a back seat while hardware was on the rise, but we are im the middle of a stagnant hardware market and its time for software to pick up and get back in to the game.

Our hardware is at least the same performance wise as rockchip.

Yeah. This would be fantastic to our nexus 7. Is there any chance to get this working on nexus?
