I admit to having a techie-toy addiction. The original iPad still works nicely for watching movies in the trailer, on the rare occasion we do that. The newer one (with Retina display - made reading PDF articles a lot easier) is still the more general use one.

The Nexus 7 suffers a little because my new Android phone is cooler and faster (with a better screen) but may get pulled out soon for more development work. It also has a stupid major battery draining bug that means that even without use it rarely lasts a full day. Still will be fine for doing development work at the desk for tablets.

That’s odd. I get a TON of battery life out of my Nexus 7. I run “Juice Defender” on it, easily get 2-3 days on a charge, and that’s with about and hour a day of surfing via wi-fi. Maybe a full reset, and let it reload all the apps. I finally did that with my Razr Maxx phone, after about 2 years it was due.
