Forgive me if this is in the wrong place, I know the Nexus 10 is a "rumored" device but this problem is what's stopping me from buying a 7, as I can't decide whether to preorder it, wait for a 10, or just go with an Infinity.
I've been in the market for a new Android tablet for a while now. I was originally going to get the Infinity, but 3 things stopped me - 1. It's not a Nexus device, 2. It, like the 10 seems to be MIA and 3. I do not want a keyboard dock. Holy Jesus, I can't believe how hard it is to find a regular desktop multimedia dock for the Transformer tablets. The Galaxy Tab was great for this, as the Xoom's dock left scratches on the bottom due to the lack of pogo pins, but the new Samsung and Motorola tabs just lacks the horsepower I'm looking for.
Now the problem I have with the Nexus 7 is that according to it's specs, it's about the size of a DVD case. Which may have been great, if there weren't a 2" gap of a bezel. That makes me think the screen is more of a 6" if the actual device dimensions are 7.8" (it looks like there's an inch of bezel on the top AND bottom, with too little bezel on the sides).
All in all I'd use it mostly to stream music to my stereo, which again makes me think the 7" tablet is too small especially if guests are going to be using it. I've never had a Kindle before, so I can't say whether or not I find the form factor acceptable. But if I had to guess, I'd say it's too small for me personally.
What do you guys think I should do? Is anyone else here not buying a 7 in anticipation of a 10 announcement?
