| 1287275 | 2012-07-10 04:30:00 | I've done some more research on the Nexus 7, and it seems to me that while it will be a great device, it seems to be more of a large phone ala the Galaxy Note. The Sony and Transformer are more represntative of the full-fledged Android tablet experience. I also used the Tablet S again today alongside the Tegra 3 Transformer, and there wasn't much difference in the speed of the OS. The Acer and Toshiba however had noticeable slow down. |

| 1287276 | 2012-07-10 04:41:00 | Not at all! If anything, this is a more *real* experience as it has been designed end-to-end by Google with Android in mind, specifically with the new version of Jellybean! I noticed a massive difference on my TF101 vs the TF201 (Transformer original vs Transformer Prime which is Tegra2 vs Tegra3), and I'd personally opt for the Tegra3 any day given the chance, especially considering the Nexus 7 is only USD$199! It's most definitely not just a "large galaxy note" at all. I've tried the Tablet S, a few of the Acer Iconias, all three iPads, the Toshiba tablet (Forget what it's called now), the Lenovo Thinkpad tablet, the Xoom, 3 iterations of Galaxy Tabs, the original Transformer TF101, the TF201 Transformer Prime and a slew of chinese kamakuza brand Android tablets. While I've not tried the Nexus 7, based on what I know of the 7" form factor, the massive performance benefit of Tegra3, the benefits of ICS (And now Jellybean) over Honeycomb, I'd hands down take the Nexus 7, with the only advantage the Tablet S has being the IR port. That said with the money saved, I'd rather buy an intelligent remote independently that's easier to aim at the TV than a Tablet, and just get the Nexus 7 ;-) Still, choice is yours... |

| 1287277 | 2012-07-10 06:23:00 | Excellent points made Chilling, but the Nexus 7 does do away with the ICS Tablet homescreen, as it is trying to compete with the Kindle Fire in the states. | Drenwick (13216) | ||
| 1287278 | 2012-07-10 07:11:00 | Define the "ICS Tablet homescreen"? I don't understand what you mean? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1287279 | 2012-07-10 09:41:00 | rather buy an intelligent remote independently that's easier to aim at the TV than a Tablet.. Actually the Sony S operates devices quite well. I put it down to having a good battery - not like a dedicated remote that has to last 6 mo on a pair of AAAs. But you are right - it is not ideal. You can't rest your palm on it and you have to look at it to press a button (and possibly you have to wake it up first) |
