I am a brand new Nexus 7 (2013) owner after going through the Apple versus Android debate. My wife has iPad and we both have Android phones, mine being a Nexus 4. Since the iPad was a gift I never used it myself until recently researching what tablet to buy for myself. Two things really stood out on the iPad that I had not expected. One is that it is nowhere near as refined as the Apple fans make it out to be. Apps are still a little buggy and not everything works the way I want it to. The other is that you can't get a Swype-like keyboard. You peck, peck peck, which I refuse to do. Unreal!
Long story short, I ended up with a Nexus 7 (2013). And wow, I am highly impressed! The display is gorgeous and the size/shape seems just about right for me. So far there isn't anything that makes me say I wish I had bought an iPad instead. I've heard all the iPad hype and generally believed it but have now come to the conclusion that Android has caught up to and surpassed Apple's offerings, particularly if you like Swipe.
