I have a touchpad 32gb and have CM9 on it with nightly build. ANdroid on it is not smooth at all and i could care less about webos. I am not seing any new update on this device, do you guys think, it'd be a good idea to sell it and buy a nexus 7 instead?

Here's my answer to the same question, on another thread : Personally, I wouldn't, but that's me.
If that's what you want, go for it.
I like the ability to change from webos to android, but then I really like webOS."
Since you don't like webOS, and aren't satisfied with the android experience on the TP, then I would say 'go for it'.
My android runs well, and I find webos an excellent os, it just lacks the apps android has.
What are the benefits of moving from a CM9 device with a working flash browser and large internal storage to a 8 or 16 gig Nexus 7.
For me there is no killer app or feature that justifies the need to move. Having tried JB I'm really not that fussed.
Yes, development has slowed but CM9 is more than adequate on the Touchpad. I would wait for the next Android OS upgrade and the next nice bit of kit to be released.

The quad core processor on the n7 goes a long way, as does the "built for android" aspect. Them there's jelly bean, and the higher resolution display.. The list goes on and on. I'm considering doing the same thing. My One X has a tegra 3 chip like the nexus 7 and provides a much better android experience.

personally i cant stand a smaller screen. the one on the touchpad is as small as i could tolerate. if you do a lot of traveling the 32gb could come in useful if you want to store larger files/more files etc.

To be honest storage is THE ONLY reason that has kept me from doing that yet. If google had a 299 for 32gb id be gone already. DOnt know why they dont even have that already
You guys crack me up, talking like storage space and screen size are the only factors in choosing a tablet. Our touchpad only gets used for web/forum browsing, etc. when our livingroom laptop is in use, so I couldn't care less how much it has. We've got phones, computers, media center, etc. for media...don't you? What the heck are you storing on that thing that needs so much space?

+1 and its a handy bedside TV , news reader and all round entertainment center. Its also great to take on holiday as it not as bulky as even my smallest laptop.
I use plex to stream my movies to my touch pad so I hardly use any space whatsoever on my touch pad. Though for whatever reason the speaker in my touch pad recently just crapped out on it. It crackles really bad.

It comes down to personal preference!
I came from a og galaxy tab. I was really glad about the larger screen. I also have the 32 GB version.
Sure its only got cm9, I would like a more functional jelly bean ROM, but as it stands there isn't anything wrong with it.
Tbh, I think the touchpad holds up well even against the honeycomb tablets. And from that respect, the nexus 7 is only a "one gen" ahead of the touchpad.
I won't give up mine, mostly cause I love the touchstone charger, and its not like the touchpad was a bad deal to start with. I would however change to a nexus 10 if that ever gets made.

Depends on what you are doing with the touchpad.
If you need a tablet with a long battery life -> change to the Nexus 7
If you need a small, light weight tablet -> change
If you want play the newest games with bombastic graphic -> change
If you want to be up-to-date with your Android Version, even if you dont know what the difference to the previous version is -> change
If you want to make Skype Calls with a working camera -> change
Maybe 1-2 more Points.
If you are using your TouchPad just at home to surf the web, read mails and check the weather, like I do, than stay with the TouchPad. Even if the development died finally, CM9 like we have it now, and the hardware of the Touchpad, will be more than enough for the next 1-3 years.
The only thing that could force me to change would be a Nexus 7 7" or 10" with 3G for less than 300€.
i don't think there is still a lot of people want a used touchpad, considering that a new 32 gb playbook is 100 dollars now
You might hold off shortly to see what happens with Openmobile. If it comes out this month as expected the best of both worlds will come together.

Just got the nexus 7 this weekend and loving it. It is definitely feeling small right now, but I'm getting used to it. The speed is awesome, even blows my gnex out of the water. App compatibility was my major reason to switch. The touch pad is still a nice product, my wife still uses webos on hers. But for an android junky, the 7 is the way to go.

Had my HTC Flyer about 10 months and since the arrival of Honeycomb has not performed very well.
I dislike Honeycomb a lot as it has slowed down the tablet, removed the built in keys which I liked and Gingerbread was much more stable.
I'm in the process of saving up for a new tablet and will probably get one in a couple of months.
I'm thinking of a Google Nexus because of the price and spec but not sure yet.
..anyone got any suggestions as to what I should move on to?

I bought the View in January and initially loved it. It began to get really slow and buggy and I was bummed about not getting updated past HoneyComb, so I decided to get the Nexus 7 as well. I love it! I've had it about 2 weeks without any issues at all. It runs circles around the View. I haven't really been bummed about the lack of a sd card yet (I have a 50gb Box.net account so I can store all my titanium backup files there and get them when I'm connected to wifi). I honestly can't ever see myself preferring the View over this thing. My phone has a camera so I really don't need one on my tablet.
Anyways, take it for a spin and then just go with the device you prefer. There's nothing technically wrong with the View/Flyer, its just a bit older and slower.
I think I'm gonna do the same. The Flyer is dead in the water. It's best to move on now. It happens guys. This was probably the best tablet hardware at the time. Good camera, screen, internal memory etc. But the world has moved on. & so has Android & HTC. I still have a year left on my contract, but I don't mind swapping for a Nexus tablet. Will just try get some parts to refurbish the scratched & dinged bits, & pass it onto my nephew. Its still in good knick, even after my soapy water bucket incident

I'm debating between that, and the Galaxy tab 10.1 because it has the S-pen. I used the pen on my flyer a lot but with the 2.7 being shipped with a keyboard that's hard to pass up. And for a reasonable price too.
The only thing that steers me away is that 1ghz dual core processor.
Is there a 7 inch tab out there that is really so much better then flyer thats worth to change it? Looking at nexus i am loosing SD slot, 3g, pen, and posibilities for some stupid bugs.
Looking at Samsung Galaxy 2 7.0 looks nice, was holding it and fits heand better then flyer, nice boddy work but - is it really so much better then Flyer to pay 350€ for 3g version in Europe.
All just couse of ICS/JB? For me prolly more time must pass b4 ill switch. Still hope we can get some more fixes on ICS / JB roms we have until then GB stil works very nice for me.

Well I think it really just depends on what the user uses the tablet for. If you are still happy with your flyer, no quarrels, then why not just keep it? I would say that the dev scene is still pretty active, we have some pretty awesome people working on JB/ICS for us.
My flyer's screen is broken so I'm looking for a new tablet. I go to college and take a lot of notes so the Gtab 2.7 that comes with the keyboard is pretty ideal for me. That'd be much easier than lugging my laptop around everyday. You could even use a mouse with the USB adapter. Like I said, it all just depends on what you use your tablet for.

I just cut my losses for a nexus and 3 weeks in I have no regrets. It's fast as hell, and build quality is good imo. Don't have the screen lift issue, no issues other than occasional screen flicker which I hesitate to even call an issue and the fact people are making warranty claims over it makes me sick. It's very rate and is over in half a second, and software related from what I hear.
Unless you have to have the features your loosing like a rear camera, sd slot, mhl, and vibrate then it's worth it

Well I've finally got another tablet after much thinking and gone with the iPad 2.
Although I love Android, I wanted something completely different to dabble with, different size, different OS.
I liked the Flyer on Gingerbread, it was fairly fast but Honeycomb totally killed the tablet (thanks HTC for making me feel like I have spent a lot of money on a slow overpriced brick)
Other reasons for going to iPad2 :-
In my opinion there's not really any half decent 10" Android tablets about, the Samsung is cheep looking in my opinion, I don't like touchwiz and the speakers on the front look stupid.I don't want an Asus transformer because that also looks cheap and as for the keyboard dock - I've got a laptop.
Sorry if I've I missed out any other relevant contenders.
Anyway, I'm happy with my purchase, I use tablets for gaming and browsing so as card slot not a problem as I don't put music and videos on them.
The games are very fast.
I'll probably not be using the Flyer very much now (if at all) pity really because it was good before Honeycomb.
By the way, I'm still using Android on my Sensation XE so I'm not a complete traitor

I considered picking up an ipad but apple's insistence to limit true freedom and app compatibility holds me back. Stupid things bother me with Ios, like no way to set default browser, terrible YouTube app, no purchases through nook or kindle app, reformatting every music file, no native flash, apps like dropbox are useless, etc. Ios products try to force you to consume more from apple every step of the way, which is crazy considering how much I would pay to get the device.

I did have my doubts with the iPad (less freedom etc) but I'm enjoying using it and its a pleasant change.
Maybe I'll go back to an Android tablet in a couple of years when something more worthy is on the market.
As for my phone, sticking with Android

Once the pen, you'll always look for that. Therefore the only best option is Samsung GN2 10,1 (N8000). But that's not 7" and indeed 10,1" and the res is 1280x800. Still far the best replacement.
I'll tell you what I'd highly recommend the Galaxy tab 2 7.0 to any flyer owner who didn't care about the pen but wasn't able to deal with the sacrifices on the nexus. It's a great tablet, it's fast, and has all the features, and Samsungs support has been awesome for it, not to mention cm10 development is well under way, and official jelly bean is due to drop any day for it.
The only thing you really loose with it is built in storage but it does have an sd slot.

So mine gf changed mobile operater and got Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 very cheap offer - so we decided to simply take it. Playing around with it onlly gain is it has ICS ower mine Flyer wich is stil on GB. I got to pick either to take SGT2 or keep Flyer. I am keeping mine flyer really . Why? Since i really see no advantages onlly in OS and i do loose some on camera storage pen,.. But it is indeed nice tab and soon to get OTA JB.
Edit:
and no coment on BATTERY life - its awfully compared to Flyer on GB.
I keep hearing that this is not a bargain like the $199 Nexus 7 or $309 Nexus 4 but it really is.
First, you are getting the highest resolution mobile screen EVER. Second, the dual core A15 is the first of its kind if you don't include the chromebook and will not be used in most mobile devices until mid 2013 at least. Third, they managed to make it only 8.9mm thin, something that Apple couldn't do for the new ipad's. Four, it is one of the only 3 devices running Android 4.2. All that for $399.
It is a steal and in some ways even more of a bargain than the other two.
Ignore this post if you are aware, this is for the people that can't see why this is any different than all the other 10 inch Android tablets.
Sounds good but if no optimized apps for tablets I will wait on the fence still and see what happens if apps look the same on n10 as they do on my note 2 then what's the point.

The point is that the Nexus 10 does web browsing, the main use of a tablet for most, bigger and sharper and has the horse power to push it extremely smoothly.
No one says I have a cell phone, what is the point of a 55 inch TV, my apps look the same on it. Why would anyone say that here?
10 inch is the sweet spot like Steve Jobs said in my opinion. Laptop is too clunky and the Nexus 7 and Note are too small. That is my opinion.
To me, an android phone is the best (love my S3 to death). But for a tablet, iOS is the best. I decided to return my nexus 10 since Im not patient enough. I got frustrated with apps on the nexus 10. Apps do not look good and run well on the nexus for now (this will be fixed, of course). But apps for ipad are also much better. ALso never think more pixels are better. WHat matters is its contrast and color accuracy. More pixels only drain the battery.

There is no denying that the iPad 4 is the best all-around tablet out there - build quality, performance, smoothness, tablications, battery life, everything is cool. I'm buying the Nexus 10 however because:
- better bang for the buck, the $100 it's cheaper can be use for the surely coming keyboard dock
- 16:10 - if you're not watching video content why even go for 10", the AR is a nice compromise between 16:9 and 4:3
- Adobe Flash - be honest, you'll miss live streaming and all the flash-based content, and it's not going away anytime soon, N10 runs it well
- extras: higher res screen, NFC, USB-OTG possibilities (media play without root), front-facing quality speakers, lighter weight

I don't agree with these two points. I bought a 10 inch tablet mainly for Web browsing. My note 2's size is just fine for videos but not for heavy web browsing.
And the Nexus 10 doesn't support Flash natively, you need to sideload the apk and download a third party browser. On the ipad there are pretty decent Flash-supporting browsers so it's a tie in this area.

Flash is a dying/dead platform on Android, so no big loss there IMHO. And the sooner it's gone completely, the better it is - Flash had its place but today it's just a bloated and very dangerous piece of crap software.
Of course you would make a thread like this lol. The moderators must be getting tired of closing these things...
Who gives a flying frack what the app "looks" like!! Does it do what it is supposed to do? Does it do it fast? Do movies look better than just about anything else out there? Is the sound great compared to most tablets? Is the resolution higher than ANY tablet out there?
Personally I am about getting **** done with a tablet, you can have your pretty apps, because I already got my **** done, and ran 17 more apps while you are "oooh'ing and ahh'ing" over how pretty your apps are...

you don't have to agree. personal opinions are just that. personal opinions. sideloading or not, i'm not quite sure of the difference. apps are apps. we all use them. so whether or not you have to install an app to get something to work the way we want it doesn't really take anything away from the devices we choose. some cars have ugly rims on them when we buy them from the dealer. we buy and put custom wheels on them. your "point" is moot at this point. but an ipad or buy a nexus 10. who cares.
Nexus 10 is so big it doesn't matter how thick it is within reason. Actually, I would've preferred they gave it a bigger battery for longer life unplugged.

i am a Samsung Boy... everything i own is from samsung (electronics ofcourse)
in my point of view, Google is a Huge company, Bigger than Apple. google can produce tablet oriented apps! YES IT CAN! i dont really dont find not more than like 10 apps that are ESPECIALLY made for my tablets! i owned Nexus 7, sold that cause of lag in browser, Now i own NOTE 10.1!
an Excellent Tablet! but No Apps!
when i was in search of good tab i had to choose between iPad 3 and Note 10.1 and i went for Note 10.1 cause i love Google but i AGAIN got disappointed! not from the tablet, but the SOFTWARE SUPPORT AND APP AVAILABILITY!
i am thinking of getting Nexus 10 but i am keeping my self away from the idea of getting it cause of app support!
mark my words, THERE WILL BE NO APPS FOR NEXUS 10 AT LEAST NOT FOR THE NEXT 3 TO 4 MONTHS!
Apple is only better in APP support and software support than google! GOOGLE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! WHEN U CAN ACTIVATE MILLIONS OF DEVICES EVERY DAY WHY NOT THE ABILITY TO SUPPORT THEM! DONT TELL ME ITS DIFFICULT FOR GOOGLE! ITS A BILLIONS OF $$ COMPANY!! AND HECK IT HAS SUPPORT OF MONSTER COMPANIES LIKE SAMSUNG, LG, HTC AND OTHERS.....!!!
google is destroying its image in minds of customers like me, who change their gadgets very frequently!
accept it or not dude! u can not deny the reality! SMARTPHONES IS ANDROID THING NOW, TABLETS ARE APPLE THING NOW... and only for the fact of no app and software support!

On the INTERNET, Flash is by far the most popular video format... and until HTML5 has agreed on a format that Chrome Firefox IE Safari Opera etc can agree on, flash video is still the choice for many web designers. If you are interested in seeing that content, you can either get flash a capable browser, or not see the video... crap or not.

I am a uni student and I need a nice tablet to make notes, record lectures, and read documents with. I am into games too but barely have time to play. I want something that will be useful two years from now. I am big on performance and graphics.
With no potential to attach a keyboard, is it really worth the money for a student ? How long will it take before this becomes out dated ?

1 example. Search "Bluetooth Tablet Keyboard" on Amazon or whatever your site of preference is for others.
Nice...I hope by DEC 26 I'll be able to get it in Toronto.
Let's say I have a document open is it easy to highlight with my fingers ? Nexus 7 is attractive but with 1gb of Ram I just can't ponder it. And battery life ? Decent ?

e Nexus 7 is a powerful enough device with 1gb RAM which only sounds insufficient due to the 2gb devices that have come out(nexus 10). You could also consider the Asus Transformer series as you can get a keyboard dock with a built in battery and a full sized USB port, also a micro SD card slot but you won't get the vanilla android experience and timely updates like you will on the Nexus. It depends on what you prefer. Hope that helped.

Most tablets don't have specific keyboard attachments made by the manufacturer; Asus is the exception, if you think you need a keyboard, check out the Transformer series of tablets. I owned an Asus Tf700 tablet w/ the keyboard dock and IMO found the keyboard too small for accurate/quick typing. Instead, I use a Wacom Bamboo stylus and digitally "handwrite" my notes using two apps; 7Notes & Evernote. 7Notes is a keyboard replacement for handwriting text and actively converts your writing to typed text; in combo w/ Evernote, I love it. At the end of the day I have clean, organized & typed notes saved in the cloud on my Evernote account.
Me? I have a laptop w/ normal sized keyboard for typing; I bought my tablet for just that..a tablet lol.
My reasons for getting the N10:
- Pure Google/Android experience & almost instant updates. (2 yrs use is absolutely achievable w/ a Nexus device)
- Great specs & design doesn't look anything like an iPad + the display is gorgeous.
- And of course school; this includes taking notes as I'm also a college student.
Also, Highlighting text is pretty straight forward & easy for copy/paste actions.
I said to 1gb referring to the nexus 7. And using Bluetooth as a keyboard would kill battery. I'm on my phone will get to my desktop soon and research. I love the bonus power from the Asus tho.

I have the exact same requirement too. I plan on reading docs, books, making notes and watch movies/tv shows occasionally. I plan on getting the nexus 10 seeing as it has the best screen res amongst all android tablets, thereby making reading books like harrisons medicine more convenient.
That being said, I will probably sell the N10 and order a Note 10.1 2 with a full HD display the moment it becomes available(at some point in the future). From what I've seen, the productivity on a note is unparallelled amongst android tabs.

Waiting game is hard, but be strong and wait till CES comes around. For a student, having a Wacom stylus is a must and N10 simply doesn't fit the bill. Like a previous poster said, lets hope they release higher-res followup to the Note.
May be just may be ASUS will wake up and add stylus to the Transformer line (TF1000 ?
The jury is out on Windows 8 RT - it is DOA ... darn shame, as MS Note is the best note taking app ever, period. Sammy has 2 Windows 8 tablet out (Ativs) out, but too many folx are complaining about quirky stylus, battery life doesn't even come close to android tablets or Ipad ... Surface Pro will suffer from the same short @ss battery life.
It is sad state of affairs in the tablet market, as far as students are concerned ... will probably take another year for the ultimate tablet to emerge.

Exactly..I plan on buying the N10 when I go to the US in Janary. I won't be taking it if there is an announcement of a new Note at CES(which is unlikely, considering its only been a couple of months since they brought out the Note).

Battery life is fantastic. And in regards to "not enough apps for tablets", there's really nothing Google can do about that. That's up to app developers, not Google.
Not to mention, that Android tablets never reeall had the issues other tablets had.. most scale perfectly, and you wouldn't know they aren't for tablets (this goes for things like many games, web browsers, office aps, etc) . Those that do have problems are normally quick to get updates... frankly, the the issue is really overrated ..
I'm a student and I have been using it to study, although not take notes. I would not recommend this for taking notes because of the lack of the palm guard. Makes it very difficult and awkward to take notes on. As other posters have said, get the Galaxy Note 10.1 if you would like to take notes seriously. However, the Note 10.1 I ultimately decided against because the screen resolution got terrible reviews and I am huge on that, also the vanilla Android experience was too much for me to say no to. I really enjoy my Nexus 10 so far, and can get over the fact that there is no palm guard. Its a great device for the price overall

I think I'm going to wait then.. since its only good for studying. No network connectivity is an issue too since most of the apps I use need the net. No stylus.. Sucks the N7 only has 1gb of Ram which means lag. No tab for me then.. at least for now. Screen reviews are amazing tho ...speed and screen size suggest longevity. Bluetooth keyboard is attractive but I'm not sold. No SD, and No Network. Hard to spend $400 plus on it.

If you don't think the N10 is worth $400, you have a rude awakening coming when you see how much comparable tablets are in the marketplace, especially ones with stylus support out of the box!

Is definitely hard to beat for many aspects but this tablet just isn't right for you, I can respect that although you may ultimately be displeased with other tablets for reasons that the nexus 10 excels in. I do think you ought to look into the note 10.1 if you are most concerned about note taking. Good luck finding the right gadget sir or madam

I am the owner of a gnex, nex 7, and note 2. I am aware of the the huge difference in th screen resolution. But i can image the features with the s pen on a tablet must great. So i ask you... What would you do? Maybe i can get the apps working on the nexus after a little work. Thoughts?

I had s2, then gnex, then s3 & now a nexus 4. I had a note 10.1 WiFi +3g version (gt-n8000). My fiancé has a nexus 10. I thought I could get past the note's poor screen resolution, but in reality, I really couldn't. I looked at a nexus 4 screen & my fiancé's nexus 10 & then at my note & was pretty bothered by it all.
If you can get past the resolution, my next issue was software/updates. To be honest, having a nexus has spoiled me. I love vanilla android. I do not like manufacturer skins. I love knowing that even if my hardware is a bit out of date, I will still have the newest software... Not the case with the note. Again, these are minor issues that I hoped to not care about but learned that I did.
I have since sold my note in order to pay some deposits that are due for my upcoming wedding. I don't miss it. I have been tossing around picking up a used nexus 7 eventually, but over all the note 10.1 left me wanting more. I spent a nice chunk on it when it was first available & thought I would love it. Sold it for a nice bit of money, as well.
This turned out longer than i thought. Hope this helps.

Hi, sully112277, I am in the same boat as you, but without owning a previous android device. Here is a thread with helpful opinions, features, and a poll about the Nexus 10 and the GNote 10.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093177. Hope this helps, and hope you find the right device.
I bought the Note originally. I was moving from an iPad with the retina display. So the difference in resolution was just too much. So, I took it back and got the nexus 10. As much as I enjoyed the pen and related apps, the higher resolution was worth the trade off. I guess it really depends if you want the stylus. In my humble opinion, aside from the stylus, the Nexus is superior in every way.

LOL, The resolution on the 10.1 is not bad...at all. Compared to a retina display or the Nexus 10 display, it's no contest. However, it's not bad on the Note 10.1.
note 10.1 hands down. i choose that one over the nexus 10 just got it last week and i LOVE it! i can do soo many more things on the note than i ever could on the nexus. sometimes..screen's just not everything and mind you the screen display colours and contrast levels on the note 10.1 is very much satisfying!
What killed it for me was getting the Note 10.1 1st then the others. I buy them all and see what I like. Not all at once. I just tried the new Toshiba SE with the Tegra 1.6. Was not faster then my note but almost dead even on allot. I understand its a cheap model. It had awful blacklight bleed, the note had very rich colors. Getting my Win 8 to see it.. never happen.
Asus/Nexus 10 awesome high rez.. For me you take the high rez away whats left. If I wanted high rez I would buy the new Ipad that have more apps/games that support it. And then trying to get a Asus/Nexus 10 with NO blacklightbleed.. should not be that hard. 1st Samsung perfect screen.
Just try them dont just take a reviews word. So Note hands down. Nexus is awesome but just vanilla. Its the silly things I like.. split keyboard, change font look, the white menus etc. Things I am sure you can ADD to the others and some you have to root 1st.
Thanks guys... I love getting the updates first like everyone else but half the time they are buggy and unsupported for months. When i made the switch from my gnex to note i went from 4.2 to 4.1 but surprisingly i didnt miss it at all. The note 2 is an absolutely amazing phone. Never happier with an android purchase since I started all the way back to the t-mob G1. I always unlock and root so i can edit the ui as please if i go for the note 10.
So far i think thats where I am leaning but my decision is not final yet. Thanks for all your advice again and lets not forget... Both are great devices. I am sure i will be happy with my purchase as I always am.

Samsung wins all around wether you have a Note 2 and Note 10.1 or the N10. Samsung made them all lol. I agree the Note 2 is an amazing phone and was one of the reason I chose the N10 over the Note 10.1. I use the N10 for mostly play and Note 2 for productive things. If I need to view a documnet or pdf tho the N10 handles that with no problem. Anything that requires serious work I use my 3 screens connected to my desktop pc as it's best for serious productivity. In the end each person will choose what works best for them in a given situation. Even though the N10 has a very nice screen the 10.1 has a pretty nice one also, even if it's a lower resolution.
My favorite thing to do so far with the N10 is to play emulated games with the controller it's a pretty nice experience. The android games run very well also, so basically I have a pretty big portable gaming device. The PS vita is like $300 plus with no killer games and a lower game resolution. You can basically by a tablet of any size of choosing and turned into a gaming device and still have the abilites to surf the net, stream movies, play music and other apps. My son has a few handheld portables and I after I gave his mother my samsung epic and he saw the games he didn't even wanna play with the portables much.
I do miss not having the extra space a full blown laptop would have but with OTG cable I'm able to hook up my usb thumbdrives or my 1tb external hard drive. So it all works out in the end. Plus I have 50gb dropbox storage and I haven't even used the google drive yet. Plus with my note 2 if I ever need to grab something real quick I can hotspot if no Wifi and download the items. Most likely I will already have the big stuff on a flash drive with me.

Sorry, but hardcore gaming on Android sucks. There are no killer games. And PS Vita running at lower res doesn't matter, its actually good because it can concentrate more on textures, reflections, water effects and so on.

Considering selling my nexus 7 16gb to glyde.com since there willing to give me $147 and some change. Not a bad loss on it considering its now selling new for $200.
My current situation is I have a note 2 which I love and a nexus 7 at home to use. It is a noticeable jump, but still not that crazy of a jump. The new android version on the nexus 7 is a bit annoying, hate the newer style lock screen and some lag since updating.
What should I know about making the jump? Is there any others that came from a nexus 7? What's your feelings on the switch?

I ditched my Nexus 7 two weeks ago.
It is the same buggy 4.2.1 version of Android that the Nexus 7 has. Like the Nexus 7 though the ROM and kernel developers have tamed it.
The screen is like night and day, and it is a lot faster.
I do miss my Nexus 7 a lot though. Even now I still reach for it by reflex when leaving the house.. The portability and small form factor was awesome for out of the house.

N7 is a great device but I love my N10, no regrets! You gain HDMI out, rear camera, speed, screen resolution and lose some portability.
I did kind of like gaming on my N7 more than on my N10 (holding the N7 is a bit easier for me anyway), but I love the way games look on my N10 more than my N7
My mom got gifted the nexus 7 and I loved playing with it. I got the nexus 10 but it was a tough decision. The price and the form factor for the 7 is amazing.

I went from the seven to the ten, and I'm not gonna lie, although I do miss the seven, the ten definitely bests it in pretty much every area, except foot portability. I took my seven with me everywhere. The extra size on the ten is nice for watching movies, and I would hate to take a loss in performance, but I'm honestly thinking of returning my ten and saving $250 bucks by just getting another seven and waiting to see what comes out in the following months.
Buy if you've decided to spend the money I seriously doubt you will regret making the switch. Definitely an upgrade in every area except for portability.

N7 is now used to read books (couch, stationary bike, sauna), play Pandora or tunein radio in my speakers, check emails.
N10 I use it to browse internet mainly, it is much much faster than the N7.
Nexus 4 is just a communication device(lot of sms, calls, whatsapp, viber, quick emails, stocks, weather)
I'm glad I'm able to use the 3 of them. They all have areas where they shine.
If i would need to choose between N7 and N10, I'll probably choose N10.
The N7's size is both a blessing and a curse. As much as I like the portability having a larger screen is worth a little less portability and ergonomics IMO.
I thought about going with an N7 but every time I used it I was left wanting more from the screen. I couldn't be happier with the N10 at this point.
Rear-facing camera is the biggest thing that basically ended my debate on whether to get a N7 with 3G, or N10. I rely on my N10's rear camera a good bit

Seriously considering ditching my 16Gb Nexus7 for something larger, but as you said the form factor and portability is pretty cool... You mention 4.2.1 being buggy - in what way ? I've not noticed anything overt yet.
just out of curiousity. did you guys go with the 16 or 32? I have a 16 now that I havent filled up, mostly because i dont leave all my games on it at the same time. With the N7 the 32 seemed to do better in performance when closer to being filled.

All depends on your tab usage. I don't store anything on my tab other than PDFs and pictures taken with the tab camera. So 16 GB and a $100 saved is money saved as I don't see an extra 16 GB worth the price difference. But if you have a lot of apps and games and what not of are just plain weird to use the tab as an mp3 repository then 32 should be a minimum.

Very interesting to see different opinions, having the ipad and 7 I find myself to always bring the 7 everywhere I go, the portability is hard to beat
Figured I'd ask here rather than start a new thread. I've already got an Acer A200 (which my girlfriend gave back to me after she got a HOX) and an N7. With the N7 and an N4, I feel a little redundant already, but adding the A200 in, it feels a little much. But! It doesn't bother me, and I reaaaaaaally want an N10..
my question is this: anyone who has an N10, N7, and N4 (or similarly sized phone), what do you use each for? Or do you find yourself using one more than the other? Looking more so for testimonials I suppose.
