So i have the old nexus 7, no issues. Ive had it since launch and am currently running PA.

Now im thinking of upgrading just on a whim. My nexus 7 again is very very smooth atm and works perfectly. Anyone see any reason to even consider upgrading to the new one? If theres one thing i would think about it would be the expanded memory since i have the 8 gig version of the original, i find that my storage is very lacking and i cant install like multi-rom/linux very easily with out deleting everything on my tablet. You guys think it would be worth it just for the better resolution, faster processor and larger storage capacity (64 gigs) to upgrade or should i just wait and see how things fair? I know i can use Usb on the go with the old one, but im still considering upgrading just because 8 gigs really isnt alot dispite the fact that i usually am streaming media to my tablet rather then putting it directly onto it.

Wait for the 2014 Nexus 7.

I had a 16gb v1 that I replaced with a 32gb v2 for the increased storage, faster storage, and faster CPU. Both units perfect out of the box. I gave the v1 to my son and he loves it. Best upgrade I have ever done. I find qi charging is actually great, and the back camera is handy. I love the Panasonic wireless charger.

I'm thinking about the new pulled pork sub at Subway. Should I get it, or a classic pizza sub.....or go get a Burger somewhere?

My Nexus 7 is my phone. Just use T-mobile 4G Hotspot when I am out. I am looking at the 4 or 5 for a bit more privacy.

The Pulled Pork looks a little better on the new N7, but buy it from Google, not Subway. :D

a 7" phone will be out soon. they've already reached 6.3" with the samsung mega

Dude if I was you I would wait until the 2014 Gen. 3 comes out B/C everything that I'm seeing on the Gen. 2 is not that great but to eaches own I'm hoping that the NEXUS 10 Gen. 2 is going to be a home run for us and if it is I might get it G.B.Y.

The gen 2 Nexus 7 is way better than the gen 1 in every way. Period.

The next generation will probably be better than the gen 2 again. That's how it works.

If you want something better than your current gen1, buy the gen 2. It's a decent deal.
