Who are you kidding?? I agree the Nexus is expensive, But as for features and shear hardware it blows the iPhone away, Larger screen (Yes size matters) faster microprocessor,higher res camera,wireless tethering,open source OS, The Android market has the same redundant Fart and flash light apps as the Apple AppStore.

Android tablets aren't a google invention. They're a natural successor to Android smart phones. Get over it.

I think the main reason the iPad and soon to come Android tablets can and will be very successful is that they are a touch based OS. I think a lot of people forget PC manufacturers have been making tablets for years with windows OS,None of them have ever taken off. Google brings something to the table I use both Google & Apple products everyday.

I'm all for healthy and aggressive marketplace competition. Kudos to that. I'm not a big Google fan, and am less enamored with Apple each week lately it seems. Still, both are very ambitious companies that put out genuinely decent products from time to time. Seeing them try to raise the bar and deliver good content is a positive thing. I just hope we all remain vigilant and don't let things get to crazy ie: turning everything over to either or both companies is a little too 1984for my liking. I certainly don't like techno-freaks canvasing neighborhoods with video cameras and WiFi sniffers collecting data on me or anyone else. It will be interesting to see if they eventually say "OK, we have all our photos, we're done." or if the bi-yearly Google surveillance van drive by becomes just another normal and accepted part of life... Much like the H-Bomb, it's hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube after you let it out.
