Spot on I'm my opinion. I have both, and the nexus is great but I prefer the iPad in so many ways. The price point for the nexus is the thing that initially made me buy, and if it wasn't for the price I would never have gotten an android device at all.
I feel the exact opposite. I've had an iPad for a couple of years, and the Nexus 7 for a few days now. I always loved my iPad, but after just a few days with the Nexus 7, I vastly prefer it. The 7in form factor feels much more comfortable to use, while still being big enough to be practical (vs. the smaller form factor of a phone). I'm also loving how customizable Android is. Even just being able to set up a home screen that provides some useful information via a couple of widgets, instead of just a collection of icons is a bonus.
I used the nexus 7 for a few hours and I found the transitions and ease of use difficult. Not as intuitive as the iPad. Playing around and sending content to the TV and it's not as smooth as airplay. I found the actual screen size awkward. I didn't know how to navigate or read pages. Do I place both hands behind the device and use my thumbs to navigate? Or do I place one hand behind the device and use the other hand to drive? Guessing I would quickly get over that with more use, but it was refreshing to try something different...
I'm guessing I have smaller hands (female) which I suppose could make a real difference in how it feels to hold/use the device and is probably at least part of why I find it more comfortable to use than the iPad.
