Nexus 7: The perfect size between phone and laptop

There's really not much point in me writing a full review of a tablet that has already been well received by internet news outlets everywhere.  If you want to read some, here are a few links.

I do however, feel compelled to write about how I use the device day to day.  First of all, I am a college student attending Eastern Washington University.  That should already give some indication of how I use this device.

Here is a list of activities I do with my Nexus 7 in descending order from most often to least often.

1. Alarm clock:  With the Moko case from Amazon, standing the N7 as a clock is super easy
2. Textbook reading:  Buy the E-book versions of your textbooks from Amazon or B&N and sync them to your tablet.
3. Reading the morning emails
4. Casual web browsing when I'm too lazy to whip out my MBP
5. Geocaching:  Download C:geo from Google Play, sign in, cache some maps (you won't have wifi when you're out caching), and enjoy the hunt.

And there you have it.  My top 5 use cases for the Nexus 7 tablet.  Despite having only 8 gigs of storage, I have yet to fill it up.  The wifi only limitation isn't really a deal breaker for me either, since I own an Android smartphone.

Those of you in the market for some sort of small tablet should pick the N7 over the competition, simply because it is the most pure of the Android tablets out there ( including the Kindles and Nooks).

And for the price of $200 direct from Google, it's a bargain considering how much hardware it packs inside.
