I love my Asus Transformer Infinity.
It's beefy as hell for gaming. Great display for movies, plays lots of file types, has a built in GPS and teathers to my Verizon phone. mini HDMI out Micro SD onboard slot It's the cats ass. |

Nexus 7 or Nexus 10...
http://www.google.com/nexus/ With the Nook or Kindle you get a gimped Android OS that tries to lock you into their services. With the Nexus tablet you get the latest Android OS that can be easily unlocked and rooted to add other customized Android firmwares. |

I have a xoom and a galaxy tab 10.2 I think the. Samsung is better but it's a much newer product. I have noticed the the more powerful processors make or break an android device. A slower chip ruins android imho with jerky screen transitions and slow loading apps.

Nexus 7 or 10. I've played with both (it's fun working with people who immediately order the latest and greatest).
 Android developers are still way behind the fucking curve on apps optimized for tablets, but either of these two tablets seem a-ok by me.

Yeah, the Kindle Fire HD is an option, but it has a lot of fluff between you and what you are looking for. To me, it felt like more of an "Amazon prime shopping terminal". |

Wally World has both the 16gb and 32gb Nexus 7. So if I just want game apps for the kids, books for myself, and a movie or two for the road, is 16gb enough?

The difference between the screen of a 2 and a 3 is extreme if you are used to a 1 or 2. I noticed it immediately. Most people who haven't owned an iPad prior to a 3 seem to not notice as much. Either way, my two has a great screen, and the battery is cruising along a year and a half plus later.

For curiosities sake, I looked up the sales numbers for the Nexus 7. Asus projects 5 million units sold by years end. Not to shabby for an android device. Not too terribly far off of the iPad when it was first released.

Quoted: This is why I didn't want one of these fucking things in the first place, too much BS. Should I just give up and buy an iPad and be done with it? ABsolutely not. There are plenty of good Android tablets out there cheaper than Apple and just as functional. The Galaxy 2 isn't exactly the newest and fastest anymore, but for casual stuff like what your wife would use it for? I doubt she'd hate it. It does bring up a big question: Are you wanting to tie yourself to the Apple or the Android infrastructure? Personally, I like Android with Google integration. Either one is fine though. |
