Just a curiosity question-- Which stock apps do you prefer to use on your N7, and which have you abandoned for a third-party alternative?
I use Chrome because it's fast enough. I realize that there are browsers that are faster, but the ability to keep Chrome on the Nexus 7 synced in real time with Chrome on my desktop is really convenient. The gesture typing isn't quite as good as Swype on my Razr Maxx, but isn't bad enough to make me want to install a 3rd party keyboard. Stock Calendar's also good enough for me.
