Hi guys,
I'm in a dilemma here.
Since a month ago, the Nexus 7 16GB Wi-Fi price has come down in my country.
Because it's not sold by Google (it's sold by ASUS distributors), the price was hovering at $320. But now it has come down to $220.
It's getting really hard to resist buying. The 3G version is being sold for $400, which is a heresy.
The reasons why I want the Nexus 7:
But I'm hesitant to press the buy button for the Nexus 7 because of some reasons:
Should I get the Nexus 7 for cheap?
Or should I wait for the iPad Mini HD, which will solve all of the above cons? The iPad Mini will make my gadget setup perfect, along with my Nexus 4 and a touch Windows 8 Ultrabook (the best ofboth three worlds).
Or should I get the Nexus 7 now and sell it later to buy the iPad Mini HD?
And is it really worth it getting the Nexus 7 when you have the Nexus 4?
Thanks guys.

The reasons why I want the Nexus 7:
- I love to read comics. And my Nexus 4 is just to small for it.
- Games. I haven't really play any games on my Nexus 4 because it would drain the battery; it's a phone so I can't afford to have it out of juice.
- Spreadsheets and occasional presentations on-the-go.
- Fairly high resolution screen, when compared to similarly priced tablets (and also the iPad Mini).
- Cheap!
- I have no problems carrying three devices: a phone, a tablet and a laptop.
But I'm hesitant to press the buy button for the Nexus 7 because of some reasons:
- It's Wi-Fi only. And here, free unsecured Wi-Fi hotspots are scarce. That means I have to tether from my Nexus 4. Which will drain the battery. Also, I have no qualms to have two data plans, because data is cheap.
- Nexus 7 runs Android. I already have the Nexus 4. That means the exact same apps on both devices. Ergo, less incentive to pull out a Wi-Fi only Nexus 7 when on-the-go.
- No back camera. I know, I know, taking pictures from a tablet is stupid. But when my phone is dead, a tablet with a camera will be a good backup.
- I have no hate for Apple products. I think the iPad Mini is a great tablet with thin bezels and have great apps. But the screen resolution is abysmal. Also, the price is on the high side.
