involving amazon will lead to confusion in counting, as they deal with both sides of the coin, but it would be foolish to just ignore them

android would do that in a heartbeat, while Apple would think and then come out with the idea, but only to rival android

Its really subject to what YOU need. In my case the 10″ tablet is the best because I am a huge consumer of media (videos, music and even ebooks). I would also like to find an app that would allow me to use my tablet as an extra display for my MacBook Pro (it would make research projects, video editing and gaming a thousand times easier, no more swiping between windows!). The Nexus 7 IMO was geared towards the eReader world and while it does have a magnificent display the size just doesn’t work for me.

I’m not really into the 10″ tablet thing. I think an 8″ tablet would be ideal and might be just fine with a 7″. 32GB N7 with 3G? Good enough.

The Nexus 10 is on paper one of the most beautiful tablets I have seen both on the outside as well as on the inside! I am honestly going to have trouble deciding what tablet I want to buy this holiday season, the Nexus 10 looks amazing and its only $399 however it has a few things missing such as a keyboard dock (there will probably be wireless ones but I like the way the Transformer series of tablets use a dock that offers more than just a keyboard, ie trackpad, USB, more battery, etc). Not to mention it lacks a mSD support which is quite a bummer considering the display is so gorgeous (a full 1080p movie is over 2GB and 16GB of onboard storage will go fast!). I can’t wait to see the reviews of the Nexus 10 and see how it performs in the real world and then hopefully it will be easier to decide between the Transformer Infinity and the NExus 10!

Yes… another Play store sale??

I agree. I think that with the N7 and N10, there will be a lot more tablet compatible apps as well. Those 2 tablets are solid.

Android has a higher growth rate so they should reach that number faster than iOS.

OK, so that means there is about 699,990 phone apps and 10 tablet apps?
Yeah, I know Android apps “scale up” to different screen sizes/resolutions.
Sounds great in practice, but my personal experience has been that it rarely works that well. There is a huge difference for what works on a phone you use with one hand and a tablet held in landscape mode by two. What the devs need to do is include unique UI directions for tablets, I assume this can be done with the same APP and separate apps for phones/tables are not necessary. Thoughts?

noted sir. Perhaps there should be an article on the quantity/quality of iOS vs Android fart boards

All I really want to be totally happy with my Android tablet is a Visio application. It doesn’t have to edit the files (that would be nice though), it just has to be able to view a native Visio file. That’s all I need. Otherwise my tablet is wonderful and I have all the fart-free apps that I could want.

You know, someone mentioned this in a review of Android vs iOS 6: it is a very significant feature that Google has rolled all their content offerings into one store. Apple still has different stores for music, book, magazines, etc. I have been pretty impressed with not only the amount of content available on Google Play but also by how it is quickly becoming the central focus for Android users.
