  The Nexus 7 is the snappiest Android device I have used till date. The iPad pales in comparison to what this bad boy can do. And it can do it for less than half the price. Beat that, Apple!

  I also find that the 7" is the perfect size for casual browsing / reading. It is also great for playing games. Battery life is solid and easily lasts 3 days with moderate use.

  The only gripe I have against it is the lack of expandable storate, but the 16 gig version almost makes up for it. Now if only google would release one that has a more asthetically pleasing design (read unibody), for not more than a 100 dollars more...

  Great tablet all-around. It's amazing that it only costs $200. The only area where there could be some improvement for me is the speaker. I would love it got couple of clicks louder but other than that it's perfect. I expect this tablet to stay on the latest version of Android of at least the next 2 years and more than likely will be supported beyond then by either Google or the Cyanogen Team. This is a very easy recommend buy for anyone wanting a tablet.

  This is the perfect tablet for me. The size is great for being able to take notes and input data. I have added Swype to my tablet for sheer speed of input even though I enjoyed the stock Jelly Bean keyboard. The screen is great, but I could stand to have a little stronger speaker for the $250 16GB version. All in all, I could not be happier. The $500 tablets do not interest me at all for iOS or Android. Also, the OEM's should take notice and start offering Android on their devices in all its pure goodness because it is the best stock mobile operating system there is. Hands down.

  If you've never owned a tablet before you might be wondering what you'd use it for. All I knew was that it had JellyBean and I wanted it. When you realise how much time you spend on a computer without typing you'll understand the primary niche of tablets. I love it

  Exceeding any and all expectations I had, even after reading all the stellar early reviews. It really redefines what a $200 product can be. As someone who has used a 2nd generation iPad extensively, I must say that I prefer the Nexus 7 in all metrics. A truly incredible product.

  Love this Tablet. This is actually my first tablet. I purchased a iPad 2 for my gf. I played with it for a week or so and didnt really like it. I do own a iPhone but the tablet experience is not what I expected from Apple. Its a great tablet but its just too big and no customization.

  The Nexus 7 is not perfect. it does have some flaws that i Wish Google and Asus will address next time around. The only drawback i see that needs fixing from google is adding landscape mode to the home screen. And from Asus a rear camera will just make this tablet PERFECT. but for the price that you pay for the 8gb version which i own, I think its the best tablet out there at this size. And second best to the iPad.

  An excellent small screen tablet. Light and easy to read, it handles tasks with aplomb. I had concern with the Android Phone UI scaling to this size over the tablet UI. I think the larger phone UI ends up being a positive for the N7.

  Pros
  -Plenty powerful
  -Clear and Clean UI and Display
  -Thin and light weight, nails the form factor
  -Fresh untainted Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (Google Now is fantastic)
  -Battery Life

  Cons
  -Small storage makes it largely a streaming device
  -Lack of Expandable storage and ports

  (No Back Camera is fine for Tablets, front facing camera is adequate. I felt no need to rate it.)

  This is my first 7 inch tablet. I've previously owned an iPad and Asus Transformer. I used them all primarily as a media consumer and didn't do much work on them. That being said, I find the Nexus 7 to be head and shoulders above them both. I love the size, its fits nicely in my hand and it is easy to stash and carry. The screen is perfect for reading and browsing the web, and videos look fine on it as well.

  Honestly, if someone was looking for something for casual browsing and media viewing, this is the perfect option.
