Most EXCELLENT vid! Thanks! For me, the biggest factor is not the price, but the openness of Android vs all iThings! Proprietary, closed systems are bad for the internet and people in general... Apple just doesn't want anyone looking under the hood, and that discourages experimentation and the advancement of technology. Thanks again!

I love my Nexus 7, but it's obvious this guy is a Phandroid. Not a very well thought out or explanatory review. Both are great products, but you will be hard pressed to get knowledgable gadget geeks to agree that the Nexus 7 is

A) better than the iPad
b) THAT much better than the iPad.

Its better than an iPad but not by leaps and bounds.

I would have to agree with Scott99. Fanboys and Phandroids will both make their claim to superiority, but the knowledgeable user will recognize that each device has it's own merits. IMO, the only way that Google will create an iPad killer will be to surpass the name recognition of "iPad" with "Google Tablet" in the mass market.

That's another way to think about it. What are you comparing? What's your criteria in comparison? Price? Market share? Hardware? App stores? OS? I truly believe the nexus 7 beats the iPad in more than one area but its also based o the user.

One thing no one can deny is that the nexus 7 is a better bang for the buck.
