About two weeks ago, I ditched my iPad<\/a>. I backed it up, did a clean reset, and gave the iPad to my mother. My primary tablet now is the Google Nexus 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I like the 7″ form factor better. It is also much lighter. The battery life compared to the iPad isn’t nearly as great, but I’ll just have to make do.<\/p>\n

Why not an iPad Mini? Quite simply because I bought the Nexus 7 first and cannot justify carrying 2 7″-like tablets. I realized I didn’t use that much software, regularly, on my iPad so the migration process wasn’t too difficult.<\/p>\n

My mother is enjoying playing tonnes of games on it. The only game she’s purchased is PvZ HD which is on sale now for $0.99. Everything else is free.<\/p>\n

Me? I’m getting used to the Nexus 7 as my primary device. What do I use on it mostly? Web browser (Chrome). Kindle to read books. NYTimes application, though I hate that I have to see ads even though I’m a paying user. Evernote for little snippets of notes here & there.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, I’m now on a trip and have no inclination to miss my iPad. Weird feeling, huh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
