Pretty close to grabbing a 16gb N7....if I can find one in store. Im just not sold on the 7" vs 10" screen as a main media/internet couch device. I was blown away when traded up from a nook color to the 10.1.

For me, I wanted 10.1 and got a refurbished 16 Gb Tab 10.1 at Walmart.com for $250.
Very happy with it and may buy another for my Father.

Nexus is great (a friend has one) but this is better for me

Ended up buying a N7 and am loving it. Although it may be a honeymoon stage for now I think I'll keep it. Office depot has a 14 day return policy so well see. PM me if you want to buy my 10.1 (rooted ICS). I was thinking of putting it on eBay but I'd be happier selling it to someone on here instead. Also comes with a minimal case that can act as a stand as well.

I have pretty much only used the Nexus 7 since getting that tablet, much preferring it to the tab, due to a combination of things including convenience but probably mostly because the Tab had gotten frustratingly slow over the last year. However, it may have gotten a second life; I just got my update to ICS, and I was very dissapointed in not seeing a performance improvement. So I tried the same thing I did to the Nexus: installed Nova launcher and changed the settings under look and feel for scroll speed and animation speed to fast. So far (only few minutes of testing), this seems to have worked. The tab 10.1 is usable again. Unrooted, stock ICS tablet. The difference is now only a preference over size, which depends on the situation. I personally think if you can afford it, you should have an e-ink tablet (daytime reading outside), and an lcd 7" and 10" tablet. The 10" tab is better for note taking, the 7" is much more convenient for reading and lugging around.

personally going thru the debate that most of you had. the biggest issue i have right now is the 32gb gtab decreasing so much in value over the course of a year, that its almost a straight up swap to from the 10.1 to the Nexus 7.

As much as I've gone back and forth, i'm pretty resigned to the fact that I'm not going to get more than around $300 for the 32gb, and that I'm just gonna bite the bullet and purchase the N7 regardless. The pains of always wanting the latest gadget...

You can sell the tab and buy the 7 and still keep a few extra bucks. I was thinking about this a couple hours ago. But I want my larger screen.
Own a Galaxy Tab 10.1 running CM10 and a Galaxy S3 running stock T-Mobile Jelly Bean 4.1.1.
