Hey guys I know there are a lot of post about this issue in comparing the Nexus 10 and the note. I am a teacher.I will be using the device for job and in meetings. I also am thinking that I could take pictures of students assignments and grade them and take notes and records from that.in particular I just need to be able to keep running records of student trials on certain skills. . I do realize that the Nexus is a sweet device and I definitely wanted but I need to justify getting it for my job is it going to be able to do that stuff?

The Nexus 10 has much better pixel density than the Note 10.1. This will make reading anything easier.
However, because of the lack of an active stylus, you would have to settle for a slightly less accurate passive one. I happen to use a Targus stylus. Tablet styli come in many shapes and forms nowadays. If you have the time, I would recommend visiting a place like Fry's to try some out. (Some require you to press hard; some don't. Some slide easily; some don't.) The digitizer on the Nexus 10 screen is actually quite good, so you won't notice any squiggly lines when drawing diagonal lines. (Poor digitizers are an annoying problem on some handsets.)
Give Skitch a try. I personally haven't tried it yet, but it looks like you can take a picture and annotate it with this app.
If you can get PDFs of student assignments, ezPDF works really well for annotations. (Yes, I have used this app quite frequently, so I can attest to its awesomeness.)
It's a tough call--insane pixel density or insane stylus accuracy. Please let us know which one you decide on buying.
To be honest, great pixel density can only help so much. I think the Note 10.1 is much much better at what you want to do.

I have the Nexus10 and it isnt the best device to take notes. I think also that the best for you is the note 10.1...
Sorry men!
Nothing can outshine an original. Stick to Samsung the best!

You guys are being a lot of help. I appreciate it, it helps a lot. It really sucks that the Nexus doesn't apply as well for my needs because if I wasn't using it for school so much and class it would hands-down be my choice because it is awesome .. It sounds to me like the stylus and everything that comes with the newt is just invaluable for what I will be using it for . Anybody disagree?

No disagreement. Nexus 10 does media consumption really well, but it really doesn't do so well with productivity.
It's anyone being productive with the Nexus.. note taking.meeting notes etc

So I just sold my Acer a500 with hopes of getting 32gb nexus 7. But my gf raised a point of, is it worth it since your phone is already almost 5 in. So does anyone else have a large screen phone an still enjoy an think their nexus 7 is worth it? My dad offered me his transformer prime for $300 so now I'm thinking about that since its way improves over my a500.
I really just use my tablet for web browsing an viewing power points an documents for college. So, do you guys think its worth it if you have a large sized screen phone?

Yeah I have a sgs3. I held the 7 last night an the screen looked very nice an fit well in the hand. Just worried about downgrading to 7 from 10 in. But for what I used my Acer for, the 7 seems like it will be fine. Just like I said in my post about it being not "too" far off from my sgs3 4.8" screen.

For me personally the N7 is too small for web browsing, I don't like to zoom in and out all the time. I think that 8-9' is the perfect size, but I don't see Google making it anytime soon, so I'm going to buy the N10 as soon as its available.

There was no WiFi at Walmart where I had it so I couldn't try web browsing. So I can't really comment on zooming in an out. On my 10" Acer I still had to zoom in an out browsing the web. Though it depended what orientation I had it in. Landscape I could read as is, but portrait I had to zoom in a lot.

Oh my, finally an Android tablet that doesnt feel like a downgrade from an Android mobile phone.
Nice lcd screen, nice weight balance, nice keyboard and most of all so smooth, exactly like the Note 2 I had before.
I'm not a big fan of Touchwiz but on this tablet it actually seems to make more sense than in a phone.
I've wasted a lot of money on Android tablets, hope this one lasts me for a while lol!

In portrait mode top left on about 4-5cm and top right side 2-3cm. Shop wouldn't replace it... It's true that in normal use you don't see it, only with dark movies. My Tab2 was as bad or worse but on the 10.1 screen it wasn't so bothersome.
If it bothers me I will try to send it in under warranty.

I dont know I'm living with it for now. Fact is that when you flex the tablet the whole screen goes black or white so probably there is something with how these tablets are built. Also if I press at the spot the light bleed disappears...

Welcome to the club! While I was very happy with mine out of the box I'm getting a lot of pleasure out of tweeking the performance and trying out different apps to take advantage of the stylus (in between playing a shed load of games that wouldnt run on my old tablet).
There is no need to open a new thread because you bought the tablet. Imagine everyone who buys Galaxy Note 8.0 to open a new thread.

I might not have voice controlled locks, or anything voice controlled for that matter, but I still think the technology is weird to use and too unprecise. Well, seems like he thought of a lot of things, especially the security (Encryption and stuff), so pretty neat house anyway!
Oh well, all I wanted to say was that it's quite easy to make something remote controlled, I have an Arduino, with a relay and a Bluetooth module on a power socket which I can control from my phone via BlueTerm (Bluetooth terminal app). I guess it's just a matter of taking the time to implement it to a web-based solution for optimal use and longer range...

I use the n7 mainly for browsing the net and some minor games. The n7 is only two inches bigger, but it feels and look much bigger than that. I also have the ipad3, but it's getting a bit uncomfortable and heavy for my taste, so this 7" tablet is just the right size for me.

The "2 inch bigger" tablet have over 2X the screen size of the GS4 (N7 22.08 inch^2 vs GS4 10.68 in^2) , It provide substantially better content consumption(Video playback/Ebook +Comic Reading) experience and web broswing. I can even comfortably read/edit Word/Excel with Kingsoft Office on it.
Not to mention the Super Bright LCD screen (538nits, GS4's AMOLED can't dream to match) & Stereo speakers.
I have the s4 rooted and an considering getting the n7 as well. Quick question. I haven't found the answer yet but is the memory expandable?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4
I have a S4 and bought an Nexus 7 mainly because i want to read PDF and Word documents. S4's screen is to small to do this. But with 7 inch and FHD it is good enough to read letter/DIN A4 docs.Screen resolution does matter to me, so an Galaxy Note 8 or 10 was no real alternative. But I would have taken a Nexus 8 as well
I have both, definitely worth it for Web Surfing and video.

Please do not compare Galaxy S4 with nexus 7!! doesnt make any sense dude,,, i own both devices, think about, S4 is your mobile phone, so you are using for making calls, text, and web browsing! usually dont even last all day, need to get charge, where nexus 7 coming in and you using it for watching cheeky videos and playing games!
Thank you guys. Now I know what to do

I've got both too. At first I thought why do I need it S4 does most things well. But at this price I couldn't complain. Been using it since yesterday and barely touched my phone. The bigger screen is better for browsing and such. Playing games is better to with a bigger screen. Watching videos too. So far I like it.

What's that? Get the new N7? :laugh:
I just ordered a new Note 3 from Amazon and it was darned expensive.
I have a note I which I have used consistently for the last year and a half and I have used it daily. There are signs it might be wearing. I even have some small scratches on the screen. I expect to use the 3 the same way. I loved my 1 but thought I should upgrade before it falls apart.
The question is will I see a significant difference in the 1 and the 3? Is the 3 worth the price
I will appricate any thought you have on this subject
Wait until you get the note 3 use it for a few days and decide for yourself amazon is quite relaxed on returns

The battery life isn't much better than My N7100. However it's a 4g phone which up until now should have meant worse battery life than it's 3g counterpart. It's also a much faster processor and the screen has a much higher ppi and is significantly brighter. All these improvements and no sacrifices so far as battery life is concerned are pretty amazing to me.
