[Q] What 7" tablet to get? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Needs:
GPS
Custom roms
Android 4
7" screen.
Nice to have:
Bluetooth
No hw buttons
Competetive price
Dual or Quad core.
Don't-care:
Battery life - it will always be connected to powersource
Design - only the screen will be visible
I had decided to buy an Ainol Novo7 ELF II, as it is priced right, size is right, there are custom roms for it - but it lacks a GPS receiver.
It doesn't look like any of the chinese tablets have bluetooth nor GPS - can this be right?
What aree my options, anything you can recommend?

...Nexus 7? Fits all your needs, but one. Android version, it has 4.1, not 4.0

At this point Nexus 7. It'll already be running 4.1 and your pretty much guaranteed updates from Google or else ROMs from XDA. Many less common 7" tablets may never see OS updates or ROMs.

The exus 7 is the most obvious choice, however.. it is not for sale in Denmark :/

Maybe the
Archie 80G9?
Its 8" but blogger is better ;P
It runs official AOSP ICS.
And I'm pretty sure that Archos will give it 4.1

Also check out this tablet.
It runs 4.0 and comes with Google Apps.

honestly, i would get an asus transformer. for almost and extra 50.00 or 75.00 you can get a really amazing tablet and a lot bigger. i have the asus transformer tf300 and it is seriously the best tablet i have came across. the google nexus 7 is good for 200.00. if you go the extra mile it will be worth it.
Nexus 7 all the way. Started w an Asus TF101 w keyboard, didn't use much. Just too big and heavy a format for me. Nexus 7 gets used all the time perfect size for me. Nexus 7 has loads of ROMs check out the Nexus 7 forum here.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Nexus 7 for sure. I bought an 8gb and it works great for what i use it for. Have paranoidandroid on it and havent rebooted it for almost 1000 hours. Very stable and battery life is amazing.
The only thing i wish was better was the screen. Next to my Evo the thing looks like garbage. But with them both having the same resolution it's understandable. I will definitely be buying the updated N7 if they come out with one. Kind of tempted to buy the N10 but i think it would be too big for what I use it for.
Anyone have the Galaxy note 10.1? I don't care for roms and stuff, just would like to know how the hardware handles running apps and how are the s-pen apps for kids?

Quick discussion. Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire HD

I know there are no "door buster" deals with either of these tablets, but I don't work tomorrow and want to buy one. Was hoping there were people in the rezound community who own one of these and can chime in with their own personal feelings. I've done a fair amount of research and I'm torn. The locked bootloader if the kfhd is the main thing making me lean towards the N7.
Discuss!!

I would go for the nexus 7. Everybody I know loves their N7. You get a great JellyBean experience and guaranteed updates.

I picked up a Nexus 7 32gb about two and a half weeks ago at Wal-Mart and couldn't be happier. I debated about the Kindle HD and Samsung Galaxy tabs but after much research I decided to go with the Nexus 7. I'm already running JB 4.2 and get awesome battery life.
I sync my N7 with Calibre on my PC for my daily news feeds. I used to use my Kindle keyboard but that's being gifted to mom for Christmas.
When I'm out I tether to my Galaxy S3 so no worries about searching for Wi-Fi.

Definitely the nexus 7. The development available is amazing, and everything else about it is just perfect. I wasn't that excited about it. I honestly only bought it because I heard it was such a big deal and saw the preorder people ripping google a new one so I went to staples and they had them in stock so I bought it.
I have an iPad 2 and a nice transformer prime and do some development on the prime, but I accidentally fell in love with the nexus 7 because of the device itself, the convenience, and especially the development.

The best thing I did to my wife's Kindle Fire was root it and install JB on it. Being stuck on that Amazon app store sucks. I know you can sideload apps, it's easier just being able to pull up the Play store and be done with it.

Personally, I think its perfect. I got it to mount on my treadmill so I can watch movies while running. And for that I think its the perfect size. After using it for a day I think I prefer the 7 over the 10.

Well, it's of course an improvement, but I wouldn't say a vast one, at least compared to a nexus 7 which has a 1280x800 on a 7"!
If you consider, for instance, another android tablet with 10" and a resolution of 1280x800 then it's a vast improvement!

if you care about benchmarks then get the nexus 10, amazing speed, amazing sound, and AMAZING graphics.
if you only want one of these two (nexus 7 or ipad mini) i would go for the nexus 7. the nexus 7 might seem slower than the ipad mini but is actually really fast (i have one, as do i have a nexus 10). and the thing with ipads are that basically all you can do is download a bunch of games. its not really good for anything else. so if you like playing A LOT of games go for ipad mini and if you want just a few games and some other cool stuff (like root, etc) go for nexus 7
Yeap.. I do play lots of games... so I should go for IPad mini??

I don't recommend gaming on nexus 7. The nexus 10 is your best bet. Nova 3 works the best on it and it has the best benchmarks. If you aren't willing to cough up the cash then go for the mini. Honestly, the next tablet I'm going to get is an iPad. Sorry everyone, I've been captured.
