A followup on the Nexus 7, running on Jelly Bean 4.1.2:
Not a bad little device, but still plagued by rendering problems in browsers, ala the checkerboard effect of older iPhones. Some apps are nice, but many really are written for other devices with different screen sizes and firmware revisions. For instance, my Xfinity TV app is totally unusable on the Nexus 7. A lot of Nexus 7 owners online are reporting similar problems with the app. Many owners are also reporting that the Xfinity TV Player app doesn't work, either.
Don't get me started on email. A lot of users are reporting that outbound emails end up stuck in the outbox, especially if pictures are being sent. I researched possible solutions, including using third-party apps, but nothing has worked so far.
AirSync works well, though, for moving music and video over to the 7. Videos look good, and apps such as Dice Player play a wide range of video formats. Battery life is very good for me as well.
The 7 has also spontaneously rebooted on me once in the short time I've had it, though I don't really count that as a minus; other devices do this occasionally.
For those interested, the Nexus 7 Geekbenches at around 1400.
