We're scheduled for the jellybean update from Samsung next week.
If I were a gamer, I'd choose the Nexus 7, though. The tab handles things like angry birds and temple run with no lag, but I expect the extra power in the nexus would be good for the heavier stuff.

If it makes you feel better telling yourself that little lie that your Samsung galaxy tab2
TFT 1024 x 600 pixels screen is BETTER
than a
1280 x 800 pixels IPS then i would advice keeping it to yourself and not try to peddle it as the gospel as im certain people are not so in the dark to believe you.
Even the china tablets like the ONDA Vi40 and A1CS FUSION5 and plenty of the others are using IPS screens to provide better movie watching, gaming & photo viewing experience than TFT screens.
Asus NEXUS 7 - 1280 x 800 pixels IPS UK PRICE £200 16GB OR £160 for 8GB
IPAD 2 - 9.7 Inch - 1024 x 768 IPS UK PRICE £306.89 16GB (LOWER RES but larger screen )
KINDLE FIRE - 1024x600, 169ppi IPS display. ???? NO UK RELEASE,only US imports
ONDA Vi40 9.7 Inch- CHEAP China tablet - 1024x600 Display IPS UK PRICE £148 FROM Amazon.com 16GB
Samsung GALAXY TAB 2 - 1024 x 600 pixels TFT
£200 for 8gb or £250 for 16GB
There is a good reason why all of the major tablet manufacturers have switched to IPS screens - brighter display - sharper image - higher DPI- more vibrant colours and probably some other things that i have not thought about.
TFT screens for Tablets are yesterdays TECHNOLOGY just lik
e Responsive Capacitive Screens- IPS screen's clearly have a advantage over TFT ones any day.
Ohh and good look with the jelly bean upgrade next week for the TAB2 as samsung are just plain bad at supporting there devices with upgrades.It really wont surprise me if you will be waiting six+ months from now for it,just like they did with all the other UPGRADES they promised for there mobile phones and tablets.
Hell, im even willing to bet you $20 that they don't have it next week for your TAB2 , do you have a PAYPAL account by any chance ?I only bet on dead certainty's
so i would be more happy to take your money
and spend it on a new case of my nexus.
By the way in gaming terms the Nexus 7 completely slaughters the TAB2 in the gaming arena-
I did some benchmark testing too and can confirm statements of the superiority of the Nex 7
check out my screen shots at the bottom.
The nexus 7 averages between 54-55 FPS and a TAB2 running the same Benchmark scores a very lowly 20+FPS on average .
I myself have been testing games on my nexus 7 since the 13th july and filming them to upload to you tube.
I would love to see a video showing a TAB2 running any of these 3D games smoothly with it's dual core CPU and NO NAME GPU
which
HAS LESS THAN 50% the frames per second of a NEXUS 7.
