[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
Being long time user of iOS and android I can tell that the review is not quite accurate. That might be your opinion but not all iOS users feel the same way you did.

I am one of the biggest iOS user because I have own every single iOS device since launch of first generation iPhone. I have owned iPhone 2G, 3G, 4, 4S and iPad 1,2,3 and latest generation of iPod touch. I have also used android quite a bit with HTC desire my first android device then Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1, Kindle Fire, Samsung Galaxy S3 and now Nexus 7. I sold my iPhone 4S for Galaxy S3 and I am very happy that I did. I don't use my iPad 3 that often when I compare my usage of N7. I love to play games on N7 and I don't have problem using this forum on N7 rather better than iPad 3. My iPad 3 appears to me more heavy now since I have started using N7. My iPad runs hotter than N7 when I play games and I can't play hardcore games on iPad and I enjoy playing games like fruit ninja on iPad rather than dead trigger, MC3, shadowgun, TDKR, etc.

I know android still has many problems and it does not appear as polished as iOS but it compensate it with the other plus points it has like more powerful, true multitasking, customization, added cool things like using PS3 controllers for games and all. Using both iOS and android the android more looks like the future as compared to iOS with tons of icons on home screen. I hate my ipad home screen and I have put everything in folders in order to make it look neat. The customization available for ipad home screen are limited and pathetic.

I agree that N7 has many flaws as compared to my iPad but seriously I enjoy N7 more than iPad. Also I am bored of iOS looking like the same since day one and no change at all. Even new iOS device does not feel new because of that. I sold my 3G after 1 week of owning it just because it looked and worked exactly the same as 2G. My iPhone 4S looked and worked same like 4S except camera quality. I used to hate it when people think that it is iPhone 4. I would even buy an iPhone 5 but I am not eagerly waiting for it anymore as I am tired of Apple laziness towards adopting new trends and things. IOS gets the apps first but android get the hardware and cool OS features first and iOS is only trying to catch up. Android is for power users and geeks. It is more easier to use then iOS but people fail to get it. How difficult it is to plug it in your comp and transfer media unlike iOS where you have to learn iTunes and how to use it. I still remember how I used to loose my contacts and iTunes libraries and apps when I first started using first generation iPhone. It never happened when I first used android and very quickly I was at advance level rooting, customizing and doing advance tasks on HTC desire.

iOS 6 is another very good example of typical Apple incremental updates and catching up with rest of devices. I wonder why people clap on it during Apple keynotes. Someone rightly said somewhere on blogs that Nexus 7 only misses one thing which is an apple logo and people would go crazy about it. Apple is more of a status symbol than anything else. Stupid people think that if you don't own an iPhone then you don't own a smart phone or you are disabled or something. There is always used to be good phones out there beside iPhone as well so it doesn't have to be like own an iPhone or you are nothing. That tiny iPhone screen does not cut it anymore. Any game with touch screen controls is impossible to play on tiny screen of iPhone. I like both iOS and android and both have their advantages. Nothing can beat browsing on a laptop not even an iPad. iPad do have advantage of portability as compared to laptop though so you can browse anywhere similarly N7 has other limitations like small screen for proper browsing experience but there are people who happily use tiny screens of their iPhone for browsing and N7 is way bigger than an iPhone. So learn to appreciate with what a device has to offer and enjoy that instead of finding shortcomings. Believe me your life would be even more enjoyable.

By the way I typed the whole thing on my N7 without much of a problem. I used to type on tiny screen on my iPhone without much problems and N7 form factor and keyboard is much better for typing in portrait mode. I don't hit home button while pressing space bar not a one single time since I am using it. I don't have any problem with one screen buttons as well. It is better to have on screen buttons instead of physical home button where apple would sue Asus or Google for having a physical button on the device because it would violet some so called patent from their patent portfolio got under this pathetic patent system. There is patent for scrolling, zoom etc. as well lolz I mean seriously?

I forgot to mention that my wife owns HTC one x and it is awesome. The screen is gorgeous and although I don't admit in front of her that one x has better screen than SGS3 but whenever I look at the screen I admire it. It is way better than iPhone 4S as well.
