Google's New Nexus 7 Fails to Attract iPad Owners

Stack Overflow said:
No, it means that no one is trading in their iPads for one.

Notice how you aren't providing a counter-example. "If" you got a Nexus 7.

But you didn't. Hence you are proving the article correct.

And neither do I. You, like the vast majority of iPad owners, will not be getting a Nexus 7 any time soon.

It never claimed to. It claimed to provide a single data point.

That's exactly what it stated.

Yes, it can. And this is the first data point to demonstrate that. I'm not sure why you're having such a hard time following it. Did you expect a 100% proof of an absolute claim?

Well since I didn't pre-order - you are correct. But that doesn't mean I'm not getting one. How you can make such an absurd comment as that I won't be getting one anytime soon is beyond me.

Clearly you and I have different opinions on what facts are being present by the misleading headline and article. You're free to evaluate it how you want. As am I.

I don't expect 100% accuracy or proof points. But this isn't even close. It's shoddy journalism and/or link bait.

have a nice evening.

Well that's strange! I left iOS for Windows Phone and never looked back! And I probably never will!

Windows Phone was a breath of fresh air.

"Never LOOKING back" would be NOT hanging around the MacRumors site checking out the iStuff posts. If you were posting this on a Windoze Phone site then you'd be SLIGHTLY more believable.

:eek:
 
From an objective perpective, it appears Google tries so hard to push their gear against Apple, even at the cost of forsaking any profit. On the contrary, Apple is determined to cut throat.
 
Bezel-ishes. Looks like ass, and even seeing the scrolling in the hands on vids looks laggy.

I have an iPad 1, 2, Mac Mini, 4S and 5 but also own a Nexus 7 and appear to be the only owner who's Nexus isn't laggy??? For $200.00 its a great device.
 
Duh. The ipad mini came out almost a year ago and it is barely better- and thats just hardware
 
It's amazing how biased all the comments are. A lot of people use Nexus 7's and love them. People on other forums are praising the new N7.
I guess this is an Apple based site...
 
How is this news

Contrary to popular belief amongst 5 year olds, the word is spelled with an s, making it 'Windows'.

It is on my Nexus 7 at least. I use it and an iPhone 5 on a daily basis, and the Nexus is noticeably less smooth during scrolls and animations. However, I would love to get my hands on the new one and see how it manages :D

I dunno, my Nexus 7 is ... smooth, but very glitchy. I get lots of flickers and the thing dies all the time. But all the people I know who are stuck with Gingerbread think it is the best thing they've ever touched.
 
I have the original nexus 7.. bought it the month it came out. The combination of clunky OS and lousy user experience relegated it to the bathroom as a replacement for the magazine rack. About all I found it good for.

How did you get it with gingerbread? Mine came with jellybean, and I got it within a month of release.

I'm sure he said his friends with gingerbread devices are envious

Reading comprehension FTL
 
As a Android fanboi if you don't like it then don't buy it; just move on. I bought a iPad 3 on launch day (my first iPad by the way) and I just did not like it. I sold it for the same price I bought it at. When the original Nexus came out I fell in love but I sold it because the Note 2 made owning a tablet redundant. Then I got the idea to use the Nexus 7 as a GPS for my motorcycle so I bought a used Nexus 7 for $120 since the base iPad mini lacks GPS. Now I'm tempted to get a iphone 5s and a Nexus 7 2013 just to mix it up because a 6" phone and 7" tablet is too close together.
Point is let's stop all the hate. Sometimes it's nice to mix it up. Both operating systems and hardware has it's positives and negatives. A lot of you guys are bad mouthing the Nexus 7 because of the bezel. I actually like the idea of not accidentally touching the screen with my big hands. And as you can see in the picture having the bezel is a must if your using a Ram grip.

Picture shows why I will not go with a 10" tablet or a tablet without a GPS chip. And yes; my Motorcycle is Android green.

Yeah that's not surprising its a nexus 7 I mean don't get me wrong I had one when I had an android ecosystem set up but why would I buy one at this point brings nothing to the table for an iPad owner. Just an inconvenience as far as I'm concerned. Great price great device but I have a 4th Gen iPad soooooo no thanks.

First hi,
im new to the forum, not new to the apple world but a new ios user.
I was a die hard android fan, i had a nexus 7 , that i sold not long ago, because i was bored of android lag and the ugly UI.
To be honest i wouldnt buy the new nexus 7 , first it look very ugly, not enough screen on that tablet, they said that they slimmed it on the side but it look like they forgot up and down.
I have nothing against android, i have a nexus 4 and its a very good phone, but the n7 , no thanks.
The 1st gen nexus 7 had big specs, but it didnt felt like it at all, quad core, tegra 3 and so on.
Now i purchased an ipod touch 5th gen , the cheaper the 16 gb , its dual core and its faster than the n7 that i had.
what i feel is that apple makes better products with better os and its a lot more stable than android.
I have an imac g5 that still go strong after all these years.

Push their gear against Apple??? Google has made the Apple experience better by bringing out iOS apps such as maps to save Apple from themselves. And what about that Chromecast dongle which they demoed yesterday on Apple phones and computers? It is rare to have Google badmouth Apple during a live demonstration. So far Google has showed nothing but love for Apple and it's users. On the other hand potshots are taken at Google during key Apple announcements; very classy indeed.
The Nexus tablet is just a vehicle to get you buying/using Google products. Do you really blame Google for making a premium tablet that aims to be better than the iPad at a decent cost? Blame Apple for not making a better tablet then the Nexus. That's who you should be mad at.
