Let's be honest, Android tablets have been a sort of sketchy affair.  A mish-mash of hardware form factors and disappointing user experiences.  But that is about to change.  

"7-inch tablets are going to be dead on arrival," the late Steve Jobs proclaimed in October 2010.  Google, myself and probably lots of others would beg to differ with the Nexus 7.

The next in the line of products that present the metaphorical middle finger to OEMs and their depreciation of the stock Android experience through needless clutter and skinning, the Nexus 7 redefines your pre-conceptions of what makes a budget tablet.  This software and hardware love affair between Google and Asus has produced something with the real potential to kickstart the campaign for Android tablets as a whole.
