Note: This is a rant with absolutely no writing skills applied. I didn't proof read either so if you bad grammar ticks you off, stop reading now and just answer my question: What 7 inch tablet should I get and will something new in the 7 inch form be released at IFA or anytime soon? Without recommending the Nexus 7.

Ordering it was like buying the tree. Unboxing it was like putting it up. And turning it on was like opening up presents as a kid on Christmas morning. But after using the Nexus 7 for a week, I hate it. Now, before I begin, let me remind you I have a Galaxy S III, and *had* a Galaxy Nexus. Both which use Pentile Matrix technology. Now everyone seems to hate Pentile screens, but I love them, in fact, after using the Nexus 7 I don't think I'd buy any other device that doesn't either have Pentile technology or Retina (and no, Retina is not a gimmick). Why do I love Pentile so much? It's because of the true blacks it displays, the better battery you get when using it, and of course, the most important, the deep, rich colors you see. Now I knew the Nexus 7 didn't have a Pentile screen, but it was better than 720p and that was good enough for me. Sure, maybe you don't SEE pixels on the screen, but honestly the colors look like shit. The Twitter app on my GS3 is a deep blue color while it's a very washed out light blue on the Nexus 7. At first I didn't care but after using the GS3 and N7 daily it's annoying and seriously pissing me off. It's starting to become a deal breaker. Next: MicroSD. I use a 64GB MicroSD in my GS3 and for video storage. No music. I thought that I could live with no SD card slot and live off the cloud. Right? Wrong. I didn't realize how often I'm off Wifi. Unless I'm home or at school forget about watching any sort of video. Living off the cloud just isn't ready yet for me at least and I need more space. I'm also not carriering around a separate HDD or USB drive. Anyway I'm getting pretty bored ranting and sorta need a snack. So the question is: What 7 inch tablet should I get and will something new in the 7 inch form be released at IFA or anytime soon? Without recommending the Nexus 7.

Thanks for reading!

(Also, this isn't Yahoo Answers, if your just going to comment and try to convince me to keep the Nexus 7 or critize me for not doing my homework, don't bother answering.)
