> The Nexus 7 is my first table and I'm still sitting on the fence about the whole experience. The version of Chrome is superb and it's a pleasure to surf, but there really are a lack of tablet specific Android apps. Some Android apps are also missing features present in their iOS counterparts. For example, the MLB app is very basic compared to the iOS version. I was hoping the 7 would be useful for reading PDFs, but it's merely passable when there's nothing better around. unlike when i bought my Xoom, i'm reasonably optimistic that we'll see tablet applications and updates arriving shortly. as chris dibona has said before, the attractiveness of the platform is basically a direct function of how many are sold. with initial sales at least perceived to be promising, i think we'll see more announcements like EA's in the days ahead: http://phandroid.com/2012/07/30/ea-updates-dead-space-with-nexus-7-support/ http://phandroid.com/2012/07/30/ea-updates-dead-space-with-n... and if i'm being honest, it was easier to take a flyer on a $250 device that may seem more applications coming than a > $500 alternative. > Android 4.1 is a pleasure to use and is snappy. The hardware is nice, but I had to call for a replacement since my screen started to peel off after about 10 days. this is the second time i've heard someone mention this, and depending on how widespread the problem is, it could certainly impact sales negatively. mine has had no such issues thus far, but i guess i'll see what happens in three days.
