I bought the nexus simply after comparing the spec to the price. I have a HTC desire and previously had a 10 inch android tablet (Advent Vegas) which was ok but never really wowed me.
I have been constantly suprised every day by just how good the tablet – android – (and importantly) google combination have become.
Let list just a few of the pleasent suprises that greeted me.
1. On first start up it asked me to choose my wifi connection and then asked for the password to my google account (i.e. it already had my google email address simply because I had ordered it from the play store!). All I had to do was enter the password and everything else like my gmail account etc was already set up for me.
2. The battery life is awsome for a device as powerful as this. Never had a device that lasted even half as long.
3. Jelly Bean is soooooo much better than 2.x android o/s. Seems like the first real competition to apple ios.
4. widgets rock! For example : simple traffic light which is programmed with a specific destination. shows green when the traffic is clear and red when it is bad and shows the current estimated time to your desitination in the current traffic. Simple , small and increadibly powerful. Need to get to a setting quickly, no problem just make a shortcut to it.
5. The combination of googles voice services and search tools make it literally childs play to search the net. From picking up the tablet you can find what you are looking for in under 5 seconds! Borrow someones and try it yourself if you don’t believe me.
6. Android market place and others provide an almost infinate supply of free games, books, movies, music
7. £15 to spend on the store straight away.
And finally I don’t want an iPad anymore (I never got one because I thought they were too expensive)
