My only suggestion is if you are undecided, go with the one that uses the same OS with your phone. It will make it easier for you.

I just got a galaxy SIII phone. I'm looking at the Android tablets.

Nexus 7 or 10.

I would get the 7 if I didn't already have an Asus TF700 tabby.

For the money. The ipad. Any ipad.

For a full-size tablet, this isn't really a question.

For a 7" tablet, depends on if you want to spend less than $320.

I have both platforms. And ill say Android is far superior. Apple is smooth and reliable but its not customizable for the user. Thats androids biggest win over apple IMO. Ill take user experience over anything apple has anyday.

Only querstion I have is the Nexus 7 too small for me 42 yo "mature" eyes. Thoughts? I have an Ipad II and it is okay but also have HTC Android phone and love it-- the apps, ecosystem, syncing possibilities... Thus want an android tab and love the value of the Nexus 7...just the readability/potential eye strain that keeps me fr pulling the trigger. True user exp testimonials appreciated.

Hmm. It's a lot bigger than your phone. If the full size iPad is adequate size and you are happy with that size, then I would go with the Nexus 10" rather than going smaller.

I'm a few years younger than you, but I don't have any trouble reading on mine. Although, if I was I can always zoom in or make the default font size larger. It has a very nice and shape screen. If you want the smaller foot print and you are worried about reading, I would worry about it too much. Head to a store like Bestbuy or something that sales them and take a look at it.

Thanks. I'm torn betwixt the the 10 vs 7. I have read that currently the Nex 7 is better due to most prgms are geared toward the 7" display. I won't be reading books, have older Kindle for that, and will use heavy twitter, apps, and watch videos. Also really like the Currents and Flipboard, etc curation apps and wonder if they will degrade on the smaller tab compared to 9.7 Ipad II. Was recently accosted at mall by Samsung promo outfit and the 7 tab at first blush seemed fine to me-better than I imagined. Leaning===>Nex7. Again value is very high there! Wish it had a pen as the Sammy Note 10.1, which wld seal the deal.

Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 now sold out on Google Play. I smell a conspiracy.

ASUS TF700T-B1-GR 10.1-Inch Tablet--$480 at Amazon. Thoughts?

Bought a Galaxy Note 10.1 last night. Just set it up as a remote for my TV and cable box.

Do I like it a lot? I love it. It completely replaced my travel laptop. I got the docking station etc.

I love the damn thing. I don't let anyone near it.
