Words With Friends is a dream on the Nexus, when compared to my tiny iPod Touch 2nd Gen. I'm also really enjoying the free Tiny Village, and the graphically stunning Need For Speed Most Wanted.

Not only is the 7" more affordable than the full size tablets, its the perfect fit for your hand and the screen is more than big enough.
Nexus 7 by Shaun-Russell (Jan, 2013)
The display is good and I like the 7" size in that I can hold it in one hand with ease while reading.

I am very happy with my Apple iPad and its amazing Retina display but there are times that I do not want to carry a heaver 10inch tablet around and so I waited for the arrival of Apple's iPad Mini.

The display is really beautiful too, and high enough resolution.

The front camera is 1.2 megapixels, and the quality of it puts the one on my Apple devices to shame (I'm only talking about the front camera, the back camera on the iPad is far superior to this one).

Front Camera is not very good.

The new processor is lightening fast!!! I multitasked, played Netflix, and loaded the thing and its speed held great.
Nexus 7 by Shanti--Shanti (Nov, 2012)
Resolution is expected to be bumped up to 1920 x 1080, new Qualcomm Snapdragon processor for increased speed, 2 gigs of RAM, a back camera, and for the cellular plan, LTE.

sunspider 0.9.1 benchmark

Google Nexus 7

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1"
In the Sunspider benchmark, it scored a respectable 1732ms, which isn't too much slower than the Transformer Prime with its non-low-end Tegra 3 chip.
Nexus 7 by TrustedReviews (Sep, 2012)
Web browsing is very fast, HD video plays without any hiccups, and I haven't seen any slowdowns in performance during my limited time spent with games.

It reports about 8 hours of solid use and I must say that so far I haven't seen less than 12 hours.
Nexus 7 by Jay (Feb, 2013)

This sort of weight makes it possible to use comfortably one-handed, but if you're used to the feather-light body of a Kindle, it will feel a little heavy.

General OS performance was excellent — helped undoubtedly by Android 4.1 and its "Project Butter" initiative which is said to vastly improve touch response and smoothness in Android.

The quad-core Tegra 3 inside the Nexus 7 is the same 1.3GHz chip we've seen in most recent Android tablets, including the 12-core GPU.

It's fast, has GPS, the size is perfect for my hand and the price can't be better than this.

Quality is excellent and the screen resolution is higher than the ipad mini, which doesn't have the retina display.
Rated 100% by by Mikey-likes-it (Dec, 2012)
The battery lasts pretty long, even with wifi turned on, It remained for over a week with low usage and a full day with heavy gaming and video streaming.
