Up to now the majority of Android tablets have gotten a reputation for being
Shall we say a little cheap and nasty. There are some great Android tablets such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2
But there are some bad
Shoddily-built tablets. Not the Nexus 7. It may be small
But its solid
Actually feels portable
More so than an iPad
And feels great when held thanks to its curved edges and textured b

The editors didn't like
Lacks a rear-facing camera
No 3G option - Wi-Fi only
Design
I found this device to be a pleasure to hold. Nexus 7 is 10.45mm thick and 198.5 x 120 overall
So it's very slender and compact. I like the grippy (non-slip) back
Which causes the tablet to
No microSD card slot
No SIM card support (WiFi only)
Google Chrome seems to be lacking
Not as good as the iPad you own
Or the iPhone
Or we'd guess the upcoming Apple 7inch tablet
But if you own none of the above it's a good option
Nonexpandable memory
No HDMI output
No dedicated multimedia player
Some will be put out by the lack of a rearfacing camera
Google Maps Navigation's offline function still has room for improvement
The Nexus 7 will be able to take advantage of cloud storage solutions such as Google Drive
But the lack of microSD card storage will irk some. Thankfully those opting for the 16GB version will have more than enough memory before resorting to cloud-based storage. Like the iPad there is a lack of Flash
Meaning some web pages will not show up as they are meant to
And some apps. However such issue
No rear camera
No 3G
No SD card slot to expand memory
Weak IPS display contrast
Limited storage options
Too few Android tablet apps
Some content hard to read
No memory expansion options
Lacks physical connections

Abstract: What's the best size for a tablet? The 7-8-inch standard may be too big for a pocket, but it's lightweight and compact enough to fit in a bag or even the glove compartment of a car, and of course it can do pretty much everything the big boys can do, just ...
