With the Nexus 7 I am very happy and find the value for money outstanding. I bought the 16GB variant, since the device is known to not be expanded with memory cards. Listen For my purposes mail, surfing, photos and videos, music and control the hi-fi system, the device is very well suited. At the same time I use a Samsung Galaxy S2, what the road can be used easily and quickly as a hotspot for the Nexus 7. As an amateur photographer I can go back up my photos from the camera via an adapter cable with USB card reader and the Nexus Media Importer app on the tablet and watch. At home we also have an iPad 3 in action. This has a direct comparison of course a much better display (better resolution, much brighter adjusted if necessary, larger area) and usability (eg multi-touch gestures on-screen keyboard) I find better. But it is much heavier than the Nexus 7, it fits in any pocket and is not as convenient as the 7-inch tablet in her hand. In addition, there is an apple-and-pear comparison (or Apple-vs-Google :-) because the iPad 3 will cost twice as much as the Nexus 7. On our iPad 3 will understandably no one without. But I do not even on my new Nexus 7 more. Therefore I will give for the Nexus 7 with 16GB in the 249, - Euro class a clear 5 points evaluation.
