I haven't bought any non-Apple computers or phones in ages, but I just succumbed to the lure of the Nexus 7.
It's fantastic, and a great all-around device. It surfs the web, does Gmail, and hooks up to bluetooth, with a great battery life.
As far as I'm concerned, that's near enough iPad functionality for half the cost.
- mhenr18 14y agoI absolutely despise Gmail and am so happy to have left for iCloud email. My personal life shouldn't be shouldered by advertisements for the highest bidder. It's the same reason I hardly touch Facebook anymore - I don't give a damn about what you're trying to sell, I'm trying to communicate with the people I care about. (edit: it's also the reason why I prefer the Facebook mobile app over the web interface when I do need to use it, because it's not tainted by entities I don't care about) The tablet looks okay but there's no appealing reason for me to want it when it won't do anything that I want of it - I can't Cmd-S in Pages and then lie in front of the TV while making edits on a document. I can't have all of my music with me at all times and I can't pull up my Photo Stream after a day out with friends. For me to even consider an Android device, there would need to be some way for it to integrate into an iCloud lifestyle and I really don't see that ever happening.
