Can uou tell me about the google and other mini tablets ? I been wanting one and this Xmas season going to treat myself

I have the Nexus 7 and it works great for me. But thats because my primary email is Gmail, My primary way of getting around is Google Maps, Google Chrome is my default internet browser so 5 mins after I got it and logged in all of my information is on it and I was ready to go.

I took it to work where I have 3 co-workers with Ipads and I asked to show me what the Ipad could do that my tab couldn't and they had nothing to show. They pulled out a couple of games that you couldn't get in the play store but I'm not gonna spend and extra $200 to play a few games a couple months before the app is availible for android.

I'm not apple person so I'm not interested in converting to Itunes, and apple App store, and some of the other things in which they charge you for all that stuff after you have already purchased the overpriced product.

I'm not shytting on Apple because they make good products, My wife has the Iphone and she loves it. but the gap has closed and just because you have an extra $200 to spend doesn't mean you should just blow when you can get similar and better quality products at a lower price.

Overpriced. Will still sell out though. It's for a certain group of people who want that size but also want the iPad experience. It's not aimed at the same people who bought iPad 3 day one. Shoulda came out swinging priced at $299 or even $275

Honestly i would've copped if the screen was high res. I never copped the ipad cuz it felt big and bulky to me, but it seems this joint is the perfect size. And 399 for an old processor and inferior screen sounds shameful.

I wonder what they're going to do with all the old new iPads

:russ:

Seriously though I was gonna get my wife the iPad mini, but I started reading up on it and I was like :beli:. It's the same as the iPad 2 that I have except its smaller and costs more. Sheesh

Looks like she's going to be getting a nexus or a fire.

Load up Chameleon Launcher and tell these bytches to sit down :troll: . I got the ipad 3 and nexus 7, but I absolutely love what i can do with the nexus 7. Even jailbreaking my ipad didn't give me the control or customization i truely wanted. here's some screens on my launcher:

But I will admit i use my ipad way more due to work (am a responsive web programmer and most the tablet design/coding is geared towards ipad). Also I love the logitech keyboard/case I got, it makes it easy to have it always chilling on my desk and to not have to type on the screen.

so when it comes down to actual useful stuff you have to turn to the iPad?

isn't that an example of something the ipad can do that the Nexus cant?
