Good: size, cost,

Bad: nothing so far

Comment: This or an iPad? I chose the Nexus. For its size, cost and OS its just better than anything else. I just bought my dad one and he loves to read on it.
Oh and I'm typing on it now.

Good: Size, price, build quality, included apps

Bad: No 3G, no rear camera

Comment: Thanks for the article. I'm completely new to Android and got this in preference to a mid range skinned phone to give it a go. I'm firmly ensconced in the Apple ecosystem but I'm impressed with the build and price of this device. I had initially thought I wouldn't need it and bought it with the idea of passing it on but it's genuinely usable and nice to own.

For me the biggest failing is the lack of 3G. My phone goes everywhere with me and my iPad goes most places (it's effectively replaced my laptop), however I think on many occasions (going to the gym or out for brunch or to the pub) I could leave both my phone and iPad at home and take this but if I have to take my phone as well to guarantee a connection I may as well take the pad or often just the phone.

I use my Nexus 7 as a PDA and it brings back happy memories of my Palm Tungsten T. I've found it difficult to work on and I gave up trying to write this review on it and switched to the iPad which despite only being 2.7" wider by measurement is double the size, but taking notes and making calendar entries are easier than on a phone. I find I rarely use it on the couch when a bigger screen is available and I even prefer the bigger device when travelling on my regular route for reading newspapers but there are a lot of times when the Nexus 7 is the perfect size.

I initially thought storage would be a problem even though I went for the 16gb version but with streaming and cloud storage it's only an issue if you want to use it as a PMP with no access to wifi.

The resolution is ok especially if you haven't been spoiled by retina display but it's sticker than I expected at times. Project Jam might be a better name. I don't miss the expandable storage or HDMI but I am surprised how much I miss the rear facing camera and the app selection is unfortunately not as good as Apple, I can't find many of my favourites, no BBC iplayer (as of today) is disappointing.

Sadly I think this means it will be replaced with the iPad mini with 3g if/when it appears, but if you are a Google fan, don't need 3G or just want to check Android out I heartily recommend it.

Comment: Thanks, but i was hoping for a reputed company. Something UK based. I can't be worrying about whether i'm going to get ripped off or not...

Comment: I'm yet to find it in the uk for the well-publicised £160 price tag. In fact I can't find it for less than £199. Any suggestions?

Good: battery, screen, Jelly bean, build, size, well everything

Bad: well maybe no 3g, but hey thats what my phone is for, plus tethering is the solution

Comment: hv been holding of buying a tables for sometime now. I have had Iphones and Android phones in the past and after the pros on cons of the OS's I prefer Android as its far more customizable and less limiting. So this ruled out the Ipad as is more of a cross between an Ipod touch and a iphone with a big screen.

When this tables came out I instantly knew it was for me:
Size = perfect for tables
OS= running latest android OS
Build= is solid
Screen = is great full HD

Only thing I thought what about 3G connectivity, as its only wifi. But then again thats not a problem as all i need todo is tether my Nexus S and away I go I have internet access on the go, with out the need of an additional data plan.

I' very happy with this table and with a price of £200 its a bargan

Good: Low price, Jelly Bean OS, lack of proprietary clutter, power, price, Google integration, portability, screen

Comment: It's not a great device for south asian country like Bangladesh. Here Wi-Fi hotspot is not available like us or uk. So a SIM card, microSD memory card along with a front facing camera for Skype or any kind of video chat would've been better. If Google add these in their next nexus with the same price then I want this device.
