I have a transformer prime and a galaxy tab 2 7" and for browsing the transformer prime defenetly looks much better and it's easier to browse, but now that the nexus 7 packs the same screen resolution as the tfp, I would say that I prefer 7 inches for web browsing because of portability.

For gaming its defenetly much better yo use a 7 inches.

Thanks, hopefully we get it soon to play with it... :)
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
Regarding comparing those 7 and 10 inch tablets at Staples and clarity of web browsing. Keep in mind, all those 7 inch tablets were probably 1024x600 or less resolution. The Nexus 7 is 1280x800, same resolution is most 10 inch tablets. So I believe this 7 inch should be much better text clarity than those other 7 inch tablets.
[Nexus 7 General] rman726:
I have an iPad 3 and for most uses, I much prefer the bigger screen. The only reason I got the nexus is because it's easier to throw in my pocket and use when I'm sitting at a restaurant waiting for a table, movie or whatever, and don't have to worry about storing my tablet after im done waiting. When I'm at a hotel, on a plane or sitting on my couch watching tv, I'm absolutely still going to be using my iPad, because the iPad is easy to throw in my backpack that I carryon.

[Nexus 7 General] leebo:
I had the OG iPad (a gift) for almost two years. I sold it a month or two after Asus announced the 370 7" tablet back in January.

The iPad was ok, but somewhat over rated imo. I did not like the weight. You can't hold it for very long without resting it on something. Also, it's not as portable as I wanted. Even now, three years later, I never see people walking around with their iPads.

I would have preferred an 8" tablet. 7" is just a bit too small for web browsing. I think 8" would work better, and still weigh a lot less than a 10". But there aren't really any 8" options out there. Not any I find acceptable anyway.

So I'm using the $ I got from selling my iPad to buy the Nexus 7. I've been without a tablet for over four months now, so I'm getting kind of anxious.
[Nexus 7 General] djkinetic:
have an iPad 2 and up until I bricked my Transformer Prime last night =( those were my 2 tablets...now I gotta replace the Prime, so I'm ordering the Nexus 7 since I just found out it has OTG Mass Storage support via Stickmount (YAY for Chainfire) I was leaning towards the Nx 7 anyway since it is a nexus device OTG just clinched it.
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
I have had several tablets; right now in my backpack I have an iPad 2 that I got for $200 used. It's in almost perfect condition aside from a weird scratch on a corner of the screen that you can't see really anyway.

90% of the time I use my tablet it's for ereading and trust me, 7" is way better for that. I really liked my Nook Tablet but it was too limited in function at the time so I swapped it out for a Galaxy Tab 7+. That tablet was a perfect size and functionality, but unfortunately was laggy and the battery left a lot to be desired. So I have my iPad for now, but I am really looking forward to getting my N7 here because that 7" combined with light weight (which is a huge plus in and of itself) and solid, "buttery" performance is what I'm after. I'm going to give it some break-in time then sell my iPad to start saving for the new Nexus phone.
[Nexus 7 General] Nexcellent:
I've used both sizes. I had an Archos 70 Internet Tablet and a XOOM. 7" form factor is really awesome for a tablet which is used for reading/gaming/browsing. The thing that killed it for me completely was the 800x400 resolution, this is why i upgraded to the Xoom.

The resolution is really the only thing i didn't like - i love how much li htghter 7" tablets are than 10.1" tablets, it's a night and day comparison when you are casually lounging or reading in bed in terms of weight. My xoom has smacked me in the face over 100 times over the past year because i try to balance it on my chest in bed while reading and start falling asleep - not the best way to awake :)

I love that 10.1" offers a lot of screen space, i hate how heavy these things are. I could argue that the N7 needed to be 7.7" but with the high-res IPS screen, i don't think i'll have the same problem that i had with the Archos 7".

All the above being said, i'm excited for the N7 and really hope that the N10 will feature a high res display with high PPI.
[Nexus 7 General] nickmv:
I just ordered a 16GB N7. I previously owned an HP TouchPad, and was one of the lucky ones to grab it for $100 during the infamous DDOS-inducing firesale. That said, it has been an incredibly fun tablet for almost a year, and continues to be quite usable for everyday tasks.

However, little incompatibilites here and there, wifi issues, etc, have me wanting the Nexus. It's an OK price (I'm a bit spoiled by the HPTP :D), but the speed and Jelly Bean have me yearning to return to Nexus. since I sold my Nexus S to get a One S. Modding and ROMs hasn't quite been the same ever since.
[Nexus 7 General] benlc:
I'm a very very lazy person (at least when I'm at home). I used to have a 10' transformer prime that I used times to times to browse the web in bed.

I've never been able to find a comfy position to hold it and use it : it was too heavy to hold, and sometimes too large to access some apps functionalities (once again, laziness).

Almost every time, I ended up putting my tablet on the side and use either my phone or my laptop instead.

Sold it, waiting for my Nexus 7. I believe 7' will be different...
[Nexus 7 General] Mustang7302:
I had a HP Touchpad that I enjoyed a lot (sold it last week to fund the N7). The screen was big, made viewing everything enjoyable. But the package on a whole was too large to hold with one hand, in general keep a hold of for long use in bed or otherwise sitting. Got my wife a KF for Christmas and I fell in love with the 7" form factor. As soon as I heard Google was making a 7" Nexus, I was sold immediately and all of the other features were icing on the cake.
[Nexus 7 General] adiliyo:
here's my take (i've owned a few 10" tabs and a couple 7")

10" screens are nice for videos, web browsing, emails

7" screens are great for reading, games (7" imo is the perfect size for large screen gaming, as the controls aren't too spaced out and the tablet is far less awkward and heavy to hold) and quick web browsing.

i really am enjoying the 7" form factor for my morning web reading, book reading and gaming. the n7 is easy and comfortable to hold in one hand whereas my prime and ipad2 would start to feel a little heavy over time and for gaming were far too awkward and cumbersome to hold.
[Nexus 7 General] killerbicycle:
I had a nook color, a transformer, and then a Galaxy atab plus.

As much as i the transformer it was too big and heavy for just reading and browsing. It was great for games and videos in commutes or flights, but after I bought a Gtab+ I could never go back to my transformer as much as I tried.

The seven inch form factor was really ideal for me. It brought in a way where i could throw it in my back pocket and not be completely out of place with a heavy tf101 plus dock.

I used it much like a newspaper or magazine, reading news and articles every morning. The only time i found myself zooming in was for desktop only pages or PDFs.

Gaming was much more comfortable. The size difference in viewing video and tv wasn't enough to justity a complaint against the 7" form factor.

So why did i sell it last week and put the money towards a Nexus 7? Samsung's lack of support for it really threw me off. Random reboots were enough to be quite annoying. For several months samsung said they would release a fix for it, and then they said they would release ICS as well... eventually. I sold it because i want the support a Nexus device receives and for a better tablet. I only lost thirty dollars selling the Gtab+ and it paid for a 16gb nexus7.

going from 10 to 7 for on the go happyness

Only Issue i have with me Nexus 7 is its not here yet. I have a acer iconia a500 awesome tablet with the ability to use usb mass storage . I will not be selling my a500 as ITS GORGEOUS FAST AND AWESOME. I however will retire it to the couch . AND start using a smaller purse that does not resemble a suit case to lug around the heavy 10 inch tablet..

I Am so happy to see all of this activity so soon in this forum. It took forever for much to happen with the iconia.

Thanks all
[Nexus 7 General] :
I'm browsing from my phone so anything larger than 3.5 inches is big enough for me. "That's what she said"!

I'm coming from a TouchPad, as well. The webOS UI is great, and I plan on keeping it around. That being said, it's like being stranded in the desert when it comes to apps. Can't wait to have Netflix on a tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] z28james:
I had a fire sale HP touchpad. Liked it but wanted something that ran Android naively and with better battery life. I bought a Galaxy Tab 2 7" and found I liked the form factor much better. 27 days into ownership of the Tab the Nexus 7 was released. I took the Tab back to Best Buy and pre-ordered the Nexus 7 right then and there on the spot from the Play store. I did like the screen real estate with the Touchpad but as an e-reader it sucked.
[Nexus 7 General] leebo:
Thanks for writing to us from the future! Can you tell us who win the election? ;)

27 days after I bought the Galaxy Tab 2, the Nexus 7 was ANNOUNCED!
[Nexus 7 General] madchild1:
I had a 32GB Xoom, but found it heavy and a little too big. Played around with a BB Playbook, and liked the size a lot. Once the Nexus 7 was announced, I sold my Xoom and pre-ordered the 16GB N7... now just waiting for it to get into my hands.

Coupled with the 50GB dropbox I got free with my SGS3, and the 100GB SugarSync my work pays for, I think I am good for storage.

I have the new iPad. I like it well enough, but don't really love it and don't use it that often. It's way to heavy, expensive and limited.
[Nexus 7 General] edgex:
My mom has an iPad 1,which i just found out has a res of 1024x768. I pre ordered her a nexus 7 16gb for $234 from JR. I have a strong feeling she won't mind the decrease in physical size considering it is an increase in resolution.

Also, my fiance has an 11" netbook that is crapping out, with a res of 1366x768 (as I recall) which is not much different from 1280x800, so I ordered her one as well.
[Nexus 7 General] klaus9000:
I have a Acer a500 10" and really like it. I previously had a Nook Color and enjoyed reading on it much better due to the weight. I think I will keep both for awhile.
[Nexus 7 General] the noan:
I as well came from a touchpad I snagged during the fire sale. I slapped android on it as soon as I could and absolutely loved it. When I got my girl the kindle fire I loved the size of it and the fact that it fit in my back pocket. I wanted one but heard about the rumor of a 7 inch nexus tablet so I held off getting a fire. Glad I did. I sold my touchpad for this and I do not regret it for one second. Ics on the touchpad was amazing, but I wanted to take it with me to work or the bar to quietly read when I could but it was too bulky. I can't wait
[Nexus 7 General] mikesm1234:
Coming from a 10 inch "gal tab 10.1" I will say that I'm looking forward to the 7 inch Nexus7. It will be lighter, easier to grab n go. As for the clear browsing on the 10 inch, Ill attribute that to the bigger 10 inch screen area. But the higher res and pixels density of the Nexus 7 will more than make up for its small physical dimensions. Congrats on the Nexus buy, no doubt you will love it,
[Nexus 7 General] akaNeel:
IMO, as long as the tablet is really light, screen size doesn't really matter to me. I've had the iPad 1, and it's been a huge paid to hold with one hand. Usually, I had to set it down or use two hands.

No tablet has really stood out to me after the iPad 1 until the Nexus 7. I didn't buy the Nexus 7 because of screen size, I bought it because of its weight. (And it'll update on time!)
[Nexus 7 General] dylando808:
never really used a 7 inch tablet yet. but i do own a galaxy tab 10.1 so jumping to the nexus 7 seems like a big change for me.

not sure if i'm gonna like it. at $250 the Nexus was essentially an impulse buy for me (tech addiction). still unsure if i'm selling my 10.1 yet we'll see once i get my hands on the nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] delta136:
I loved your review and I completely agree.

I have the original Transformer and my gf had the ipad2. She now has an ipad3 and i freakin love that thing

but i think im going to love this nexus 7 the most, simply because it is 7". I think 7" is the perfect sweet spot, especially since it's sporting 1200x800

9-10" is just too much for what I want, but there are definitely times when the bigger size is a plus

I wish I could thank your post, but unfortunately I have maxed out my thanks for the day lol
[Nexus 7 General] Evo_Shift:
I had a Transformer Prime. It was an awesome, fast tablet but it was too big to comfortably hold in one hand which means it wasn't good for commuting and using at work for me. I switched to a Kindle Fire which I have installed ICS and that is pretty nice. There are obviously issues with the Fire as there isn't an official ICS for the Fire. If you go with a Fire you definitely need to enjoy tinkering because you have to tinker to get it working like a full tablet. Plus it doesn't have bluetooth which is my number one thing I don't like about it and and it is way less powerful, smooth, pretty low res screen for a tablet which makes tablet optimized apps not as good, etc. than my Prime was. I am excited to be getting a tablet that should perform as well or better than my Prime did but yet is as easy to hold as my Fire. Not having to deal with Amazon's closed system will be very nice as well. I like to tinker but not as much as what my Fire made me do.(especially if I wanted to use the stock Fire rom but still have access to all of the Google ecosystem)
[Nexus 7 General] razball:
I have the Xoom and while it's a great tablet it's gonna be one I use at home, my laptop will basically be fore gaming only.

And my N7 will be for out and about at Starbucks or work etc.

Ten inch a500 from Acer I like it, but after a year with this I know that a seven inch is better for me. Plus side my step dad gets a ICS tablet for free.
[Nexus 7 General] clockcycle:
I had both a Nook Color and a Notion Ink Adam. The Nook's IPS screen was crisp by comparison. The Adam has a PixelQ screen viewable in direct sunlight. Both screen sizes served their purpose for me.
[Nexus 7 General] Torisen:
I'm torn on this one, I have a Galaxy Tab 8.9 which I love a lot but sometimes is a little to big. I also have the iPad 3, which I did use a lot when I first got it, but now, not so much. I'm not sure which to sell to fund a Nexus 7.

I am currently leaning more towards selling the iPad but Pulse and Twitter work so much better on the iPad.

The hard part to get over is that the iPad cost me over 600 bones and I probably won't get any cash back on the trade

Does anyone have any experience with a 7" tablet with textbooks? I'm thinking of getting an N7 to take to class and just pull up the textbook on that. Any input on how the page will fit on the screen?
[Nexus 7 General] duglas:
I have a tablet problem and have just about 1 of each. I like 7# tablets better because they are easier to carry and 7# screen is big enough but there had not been a good 7# tablet that I liked. This Sprint EVO View ( same as HTC Flyer) is the best so far (imo). My Nexus 7" should be here Monday so I am hoping it works well. I really will miss the back camera though.

I have an Asus Transformer Prime and an older Transformer and the Prime is my favorite 10" tablet.

I also have an IPad 3, acer A500, HP Touchpad and a fee older ones. In 7" I have a Amazon Fire, Tmobile Samsung Tab 7", this View, a Flyer and a few off brands.

All that said. I use my 7" tablet for surfing and emailing. If need bigger I grab my 12" HP laptop.
[Nexus 7 General] Speeding Wheels:
I had an original iPad for about 3 weeks and promptly sold it for what I paid for it.

I did not like being locked into iOS, iTunes and everything Apple.

I bought an HP TouchPad when they were being clearanced and sold that after about 6 weeks.

It was too bulky and at the time Android was still very buggy on it.. I was not enjoying it at all.

I got a Kindle Fire from Amazon with credit I had built up over the holidays and really wanted to like it.

However, the poor placement of the speakers and the power button were reallllllly annoying.

Had it not been for what I consider those design flaws I would probably still have the Fire.

I really liked the 7" form factor. It was easy to carry around and even with the modified Android OS it was still fun.

Just those buttons and speakers on the bottom were gawd awful since they were right where I like to hold a tablet.

My N7 thus far is exactly what I've been wanting.

The buttons are out of the way... and not only that they don't seem to be in the way even when I hold the device where they are located.

It's light. Far more handsome then the Fire and since it's a Nexus I'm not locked into anybodys idea of what my device should be like.
[Nexus 7 General] cjb110:
Had the TouchPad running CM9 for ages, really good but too heavy for books. Wasn't using it for much more than browsing anyways...the nexus is lighter, easier to hold and actually has a higher res.
[Nexus 7 General] Coatezy:
I have an iPad3 but going to New York on Holiday soon and didn't fancy taking it with me due to my ocd's, So have primarily purchased the Nexus 7 as a chuck around tablet while on the go. I do like the larger screens when at home though.
[Nexus 7 General] ferris2375:
Personally I think a 7" compliments a 10". Not sure I'd want to be without either. There are times a 7" is better, and there are other times I want a lot of screen.

Here is a comparison of my iPhone 4, GS3, Nexus 7 and iPad 3 :D

Honestly though I do love the 7" form factor. It's extremely comfortable to hold (I have big hands), easy to type on and just less cumbersome in certain situations.

I thought about selling my iPad 3 in favor of this Nexus 7 because I do like it that much, but the iPad screen and size are just too good to give up, so I need both. So I voted doesn't matter. ;)
[Nexus 7 General] LogicL77:
I have both a HP Touchpad and Nexus 7. I use the Touchpad with CM9 mostly at home to view my IP cameras via IP Cam Viewer Pro, sorta like a surveillance monitor and for browsing, reading books and wife uses it to check her recipe books via kindle app. Nexus 7 replaces my HTC Flyer 7" tablet which I gave to the kids to use with coloring, spelling and reading apps. The Nexus 7 is just so much more portable, very light and is fast.
