Which Tablet should I buy?

[Big_Als_London]

So I am in the market for a new tablet and was wondering what everyone was using these days.  I don't want to spend  more than $300.  I was thinking about either the Google nexus 7 or the samsung Galaxy 2.

What do you guys think? I am going to use it for basic use like the internet and netflix.

My choices under $300. Only ever used Kindle HD, Ipad (all models), Blackberry Playbook. But am a tech junkie and always looking at new technology.

Google Nexus 7, Samsung Tab 2, Kindle Fire HD.

All depends if you want to be able to use apps as well as not all of the ones under $300 have access to a app store/google market. Also screen size...

i had a samsung galaxy 10.1, very nice tablet, easy to use, good size, i think the 16gb version is only 350$ new, but could prob find a cheaper one on kijiji...

i ended up selling it because between my iphone and my laptop i never used it much.

both are pretty awesome, the nexus 7 is a google nexus device so it gets the latest greatest updates and software before all the other android devices, but thats not saying that you cant get all that stuff on the galaxy tab 2 but its a bit more to do it for sure. The CPU and GPU are faster and the screen resolution is higher on the 7, but only slightly. The nexus has stereo speakers and the samsung only has mono... the 7 is 50$ or so more than a tab 2... if its in your budget, the nexus is the way to go. No need to "Root" it to get cool stuff either.

I have the nexus s phone so I am leaning towards the nexus 7 tablet.  I believe you can link them up this way.

The galaxy has infarred or something like that and can also be used as a remote control for most new tvs which I think would be fun to play with too.

So I talked to staples and the  nexus is going on sale starting Wednesday. Down to 239.99

I hate absolutely everything about apple.


that said, I do only buy their ipads.  The apps for them are unreal, batteries last fairly well and the touchcscreens work perfectly.

Stick with Android related tablets.  Your not stuck with Apple only this and that. Lack of customization,  paying for apps,  etc etc.
I run a galaxy 10" tab and samsung galaxy s3 phone.  I had apple and hated it. Couldn't customize anything,  had to pay for all decent apps,  everything was proprietary to I this and I that.
At least with most android tablets you can add mini sd cards to add up to 64 gig of memory. You can't do that with apple products.  Lol you can't even get flash player on Apple products so forget viewing any sites with Adobe Flash.

I use the Android mini tablet- I'm cheap! I picked it up for 129$ Can't beat that!

 

[shipwreck]

Wednesday staples has a coupon for $50 off any tablet over $299.

 

[Big_Als_London]

I thought about spending more money but then my bank account said no lol. $239.99 for the 32gig nexus 7 is a pretty good price.  If I was going to get a 10" tablet I would spend more money but I can't handle 10 inches OUCH...


Edit: Did I say that out loud?

I have always been an apple iPad fan......my ipad2 is two years old and still works perfect. However, I believe a lot of competitors are producing some very nice tablets as well now and might stray away from apple when this old thing dies.

Wow via hongkong mail it can take 25-30 days. This tablet is very tempting.  If I could get it local at this price I would be all over it.  I don't really want the big tablet though as I would prefer something a little smaller.
