same, I'm thinking on whether to get N7 or ipad mini. Use it for almost everything (reading, movies, gaming, surfing net, fb). I'm a pro-android user, sometimes I probably will use it for dev purpose. But somehow the lack of quality apps really holds me back and I already have a few diff android phone. @@ tough choice

IIRC, Apple has better apps in general, especially "Tablet apps"

Yup, and quite a few exclusive apps.

For those deciding on ipad mini and those complaining of its low resolution....the ipad mini 2 most probably with retina display should be coming out end of the year maybe November.

Watch out for next week's WWDC announcement by Apple.

Some source is saying ipad mini 2 wont be lauching so soon as it'll hurt ipad 5 sales. It probably might be early next year. I doubt WWDC will launch any ipad this time. @@

don't know about tablet optimized apps but i'd still go for N7 because
1. Screen resolution. This'll make a difference between a relaxed eye and sore eye while reading, browsing the web and watch movie.

2. Being a previous android user. I've bought apps from play store, and I'm not gonna buy the same app for the 2nd time.

3. gaming. 7" is just right for me. playing dead trigger where the finger need to be able to travel across the screen, and tilting the device while playing real racing 3.

but, if you're gonna play with AR or take photo with your tablet, take the ipad mini then.

Hmm...will it lag when running games? Not gonna take photo with tablets, it looks silly, and I have a HTC one x. Sounds tempting now thumbup.gif

no lag
even if it's lag a bit, it's the game's fault (advertisements)
since u own one x, if the game lags on your phone then probably it will too on N7, since both of them are running on Tegra 3...

one x got NFC or not?
like my phone got NFC, after i take picture i use android beam into my N7 to look at the pic, editing, and do posting, so, no back camera is no issue for me

speaking of accessories, if you're planning to buy lots of them, stay away from N7, coz they're hard to find.

Yeah my phone has NFC. haha not gonna use any accessories, I don't even using casings, that's why I'm considering N7, cause ipad mini will get scratched easily.

One thing I'm not sure is how well apps runs on android tablets, cause from what I know, there aren't many tablet optimized apps? No android tablet to try out those sort of things =/

yes, not many tablet optimised app
N7 even use phone interface

since we have up to 6", heck 7" phone also exist (phonepad? padphone? whatever)
7" w/o tablet optimised app is not an issue, since there's barely any waste of empty spaces with phone interface
10" and above w/o tablet optimised app, now that's an issue
*
7 inch phone is possible if they remove the bezel. bezel takes lots of space.

decided, maybe i should straight go for 10 inch since I already have a similar size + processing power phone. thanks for all the advice bro
