nexus 7; galaxy tab 2; moto xoom 2. select the one which fits your budget and interests

What's your budget? What size?
I'd say get an asus padfone or transformer prime, if you're on a budget get a nexus 7!
Have read frequently about screen separation issues on the 7 so do your research.

I want a 10 inch tablet. I don't know the specs of Nexus 7. Would anyone enlighten me, please?

Just rumors but Google may release another tablet by the end of this year speculated to be around 10 inches with 3g. So either you could wait or just get your self e.g. a galaxy tab 2

Try the Galaxy Note 10.1, or wait a bit for the Microsoft Surface tablet
And if you don't know the specs of Nexus 7...... You are probably living under a digital rock

I'd say go with the Nexus 7. Best bang for your buck.

Haha.... but I have no big ego... I'm just participating in the xda-community....by posting this thread.... these apps I thought were very useful... since I find my self using them all the time!... and though I'd share my top 5 with my fellow N7 owners.... you don't have to use any of them if you don't too... as everyone has their own opinion and is different...

Nice video. Thanks for the suggestions. The only one that makes me scratch my head is the rotation one. Why not just recommend an alternative launcher such as Nova that gives you rotation capability plus a whole lot more?

You want another top 10 on the N7 as well?... kinda redundant to ask it that way... but just want to be certain

Sorry let me be more specific. While googling good apps to download for the Nexus 7 most lists are these and popular android apps that everyone already knows about.. I was hoping to see an extended list with some more apps that may not be on everyone's radar.

[Q] I want to use my Galaxy Nexus 2 as a bluetooth handset with my desktop

Hello. I want to use my Galaxy Nexus as a bluetooth handset with my desktop meaning using it for Google calls and Skype etc. I paired my Nexus with my desktop BT but under services it is empty. I can tether my Nexus to my desktop for data but I cannot seem to tether it with my desktop as a "phone" handset via BT. I just want to be able to answer in coming calls that are coming to my desktop and that is all but it seems impossible. Thanks for any help/ideas.

Your game is from the google play store. Right? Try the gameloft site. There is a HD version.

As I said. Download the HD versions from the gameloft site. I have both games and they look super with all effects.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Weird, I tried what you said.. Download the game from the site but it opens up play store right to the one I have already bought. Even though I don't have any problems with it, it looks fine for me just wanted to see the HD one..

I bought the 2 games from the gameloft site. Both are HD and both have much better graphics then the versions from google play. None of the games bought direct from gameloft did not open in google play.

Words With Friends

Can someone with the LG Gpad 8.3 tell me if the Words With Friends app displays in portrait mode on the Gpad? On the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 it dispays only in Landscape and it's hard to play. Would there be a difference between the Gpad 8.3 and the Google Play Edition? Thanks.

Thanks for testing it for me. On 7 and 8 inch tablets I think it works best in portrait.

Do you have the regular Gpad or the Google Play edition? I can't decide which one to get.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I have the regular one. It is cheaper than the GPE one and if coast is a factor in your decision that would be something to look at. It is a nice tablet and does what I expect a tablet to do.

Thanks for getting back to me. The regular LG Gpad seems to be getting all the development too. I ordered one from Best Buy today. It will be joining my two Nexus 7's and Asus TF300 tablets.

My LG Gpad 8.3 arrived this afternoon. Several hours later I had it rooted, and flashed TWRP and Slimkat. Coming from the Nexus 7 the extra screen space is much welcomed. I have noticed the screen colors are much warmer than the Nexus 7...whites are especially noticeable compared to the Nexus 7.
