Crave's Eric Mack has been waiting months for the new Android tablet. But now that it's here, he thinks he might just wait a little longer. ![]() It's finally here! But is there any hurry? (Credit: James Martin/CNET)The unveiling of the second-generation Nexus 7 Android tablet on Wednesday was something I'd been waiting months for -- ever since a cracked screen essentially bricked my original Nexus 7 (although it could enjoy a second life as a dedicated e-reader). Yet now that the new Nexus is here, Google's Chromecast streaming-media stick has stolen all the buzz, and I'm thinking about waiting longer before diving into another Nexus tablet. Let's take a quick tour of the reasons for and against hopping in line for a new Nexus 7 right now. (Buy now) The best Jelly Bean around When my original Nexus 7 arrived last summer, running Jelly Bean and Google Now, it let me in on the ground floor of Android features that emerged more prominently over the course of the last year. If you want to see where Android is now, and get hints at where it's headed next, you'll want to order the new Nexus 7 as soon as possible. (Buy now) Waaay more pixels than you need (Wait) LTE version still evolving long term If you're a Verizon customer like me, you may want to practice patience, given Big Red's recent track record on provisioning hot new devices (like the HTC One) for its network. I'm going to be hella-zen by the time a Verizon Nexus 7 arrives. (Wait) Not alone anymore I also wonder if it's worth waiting to see if an even more ideal form factor pops up soon. Could a Galaxy Note 3 with a 6-inch screen wind up being the perfect device? I think I might wait to find out, unless I start hearing from you all how amazing the new Nexus 7 is and the early adopter envy becomes too much to bare. Let me know in the comments what your tablet-purchasing plan of action is (if you have one) for the coming months. ![]() via Technology - Google News http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNHzZxzmoMG0dLQDVC9GZsU7cQpqqQ&url=http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57595517-1/get-the-new-nexus-7-now-the-case-for-and-against-waiting/ | |||
