Sorry if I gave you that impression, Sue. The irony is that I was trying to be helpful.
If it turned out you'd noticed an issue with the Nexus 7's screen which others had not, I thought you might want to see tests in order to determine what the problem really is (the battery test shown in another member's post was taken from that same article).
The tests I've seen report excellent viewing angles, which is consistent with a standard IPS panel. If you've noticed bad viewing angles in everyday use, I'd like to know more about that.
Also, if Asus began using different panels after the initial run of N7s and you happened to buy one with an
inferior screen (such as a TN panel), I wouldn't be surprised if hundreds of thousands of people were extremely keen on getting as much confirmation as possible. I've often thought about buying a Nexus 7 myself, and wretched viewing angles would dissuade me from making the purchase.
The same could be true WRT battery life. As I'm sure you know, one issue with Android is that one has to be vigilant about the Google Play apps one downloads because Google doesn't police them as Apple does. If one's Nexus 7 contains lots of apps that are constantly running in the background and using Wifi, then battery life can become abysmal.
If your experience with battery life has to do with a specific cause, it would be in future buyers' interests to figure out what it is.
These are issues which might not affect
your preference for the iPad, but they could affect
others' decision to buy a given tablet.
