I know this question has been overused but...

I plan on getting a new tablet for my xmas gift. The problem is I can't make up my mind obviously. I'm debating between the Nexus 7, SGT2, and the Kindle fire HD. It will be used basically for surfing, watching vids from hulu and netflix, email, etc..not work related things. Also wanted one that I can root and make in my own image, if you will. I've been leaning towards the Nexus, then change my mind to the Galaxy cause of the back camera and expandable memory, then switch to the Kindle for the HD. Someone here help me make up my freakin mind as to which one is the best of the best please? Thanks for your time

I don't think you can get the Google play store on the kindle. That stops me from getting one. I hate having to "buy" a free app then getting an email receipt for 0.00 dollars. Since you want to root it anyway I would get the nexus 7. It's the easiest one to root. (Or see what Google announces on the 29th)

I thank you for at least answering. Still a tossup between the Nexus and the Galaxy. Might as well flip a coin at this point

Not that I have one, but if I were you I'd go for the Nexus 7. Key Lime Pie won't be far off and a Nexus device will have a reasonable lifespan in terms of upgrades. Plus you get pure Android, no overlays.

For pure enjoyment, it seems to be ideal. Everyone wishes it had a micro SD slot, but a 16 (or a forthcoming 32GB) model would be good.

I am going to go for the Nexus. I just gotta wait til they announce the 32GB which I believe is the same price as the 16GB.

It is official the 16GB is ow only $199 where the 32 $249 and whe compared to the Galaxy Tab 2, the Nexus 7 lows it out of the water
