"SquareTrade has taken Google’s new Nexus 7 tablet and put it up against the new iPad in drop and dunk tests, and it might surprise you to learn that the Nexus 7 has been named the winner. In all, SquareTrade performed three tests: both tablets were dunked in water, dropped from a standing position, and pushed off the edge of a table. Though the iPad put up a good fight in some situations, it was ultimately the Nexus 7 that was crowned the most resilient of the two."

So much for the supposedly superior build quality of the iPad. It's a test that was done last July, but it's timely in this thread and is instructive as to various misconceptions about what really constitutes quality.

I think when it comes to the major players today, basically all of them put out quality tablets on par with Apple -- Samsung, Google, Asus, Amazon, B&N, Toshiba, etc. The differences will come down to features, pricing, the ecosystem of each tablet, and service and support.
