In Pictures: 7 reasons Google's Nexus 7 beats the iPad

The Google tablet's advantages in flexibility, usability, and form factor might make you ditch your iPad

App selection

This is really a “no-worse-than” point. Nexus 7 has all the apps I could want and more, including the puzzle and word games I favor. All the same productivity apps I wanted on the iPad are available as Android apps, too. The image here shows, from left to right, QuickOffice, Evernote, and Documents to Go, and in the middle is the icon for IBM Symphony Viewer so I can still read LibreOffice ODF documents. Plus, I like the look and feel of the social media apps on the Nexus 7, including Skype, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
