Between the Galaxy Tab 7.0 and the Nexus 7.

Plus for the Nexus:
  • Faster processor
  • Higher res screen (216 PPI)
  • Stock Android with no skins
  • NFC
  • Fast updates from Google (Sometimes only a couple of days)
  • Better viewing angles (IPS screen)
  • Front Camera

Plus for the Galaxy:
  • Expandable storage
  • Haptic feedback
  • Rear Camera

I've got the Nexus 7 and love it.
I appreciate your input and will definitely keep it in mind for comparison sake come decision time.

How is the Nexus for simply reading? Battery life?


That's mostly what I want a tablet for, that and occasional surfing and possibly music/video. I'm very concerned about eye strain and even just loading library [epub, mp3, and mp4 video] onto anything I buy.
