Google Nexus 7
The newest of the three, Google’s Nexus 7 runs the company’s Android operating system. There are dozens of other tablets that do too, but
this is the only one f rom Google. This means a couple of things. For one, it ’s the f irst tablet that runs Android 4.1, Jelly Bean, the latest version
of Google’s sof tware. It also provides a “pure” Android experience, as compared to some other tablets that run their manuf acturers’ own
interf aces on top of Google’s. Essentially, the Nexus 7 is Android as Google intended it to look, f eel, and f unction.
The Nexus 7 is a small tablet, f eaturing a 7- inch, 1280 x 800 resolution screen, a 1.2-megapixel f ront- f acing camera, and NFC f or mobile
payments. It packs some decent muscle with a quad-core processor and a 12-core graphics chip, making it f ormidable at tasks such as gaming.
Its price is also worth noting: $199 f or a version with 8GB of storage and $249 f or a 16GB model, both of which are wif i-only. The tablet comes
with preinstalled Google apps such as Maps, Gmail, and Chrome, along with f ree movies, music, and books. For a limited time, you can get $25 in
Google Play credit if you buy a tablet.
The Nexus 7 is available f or purchase directly f rom Google and will ship in mid-July.

Amazon Kindle Fire
Released in November 2011, the Kindle Fire is Amazon’s f irst f ull- f eatured tablet. It ’s comparable to the Nexus 7 in size; both tablets sport 7- inch
screens and have roughly similar shapes and weights. The Fire’s screen has a lower resolution, at 1024 x 600 pixels, and it also has a slower
processor. But the most signif icant dif f erences between the Kindle Fire and the Nexus 7 are their operating systems and sof tware f eatures.
The Kindle Fire runs a custom version of Google’s sof tware that bears litt le similarity to what you’ll see on other Android tablets. Its interf ace has
been designed to capture the look and f eel of shelves rather than rows of same-sized icons, and it f eatures its own email, web browser, and
other apps.

Tablet Android 7-inch
Unlike the Nexus 7, which gets its content f rom the Google Play service, the Kindle Fire is meant to get apps, movies, music, and books directly
f rom Amazon. It t ies directly in to your Amazon account, making it especially attractive if you buy a lot of t it les f rom Amazon or use Amazon
Prime but less so if you want access to a large variety of apps. It ’s priced similarly to the Nexus 7 at $199 f or a model with 8GB of storage. The
Kindle Fire is also wif i-only.
Amazon sells the Kindle Fire directly, but it ’s also available f rom retailers such as Target and Best Buy.
Apple iPad
The largest and most technologically advanced tablet of the three, Apple’s iPad is also the most expensive. The latest version, simply called the

new iPad, has a 9.7- inch screen with a very sharp 2048 x 1536 resolution, also known as a Retina display. The iPad’s most signif icant distinction
is the f act that it runs Apple’s own operating system, iOS, which of f ers dif f erent f unctionality and apps than Android. In general, the iPad is
considered to be more user- f riendly than pure Android tablets like the Nexus 7, and the App Store of f ers more apps than Amazon’s or Google
Play.
In addition to its larger size, the iPad has additional hardware f eatures such as a 5-megapixel camera on the back (it has a f ront- f acing camera
like the Nexus 7, too) that allows f or HD video recording. The iPad’s wif i-only model starts at $499 f or 16GB of storage and goes to $699 f or
64GB. Unlike the Nexus 7 and the Kindle Fire, the iPad is available in models that of f er 4G wireless connectivity, priced f rom $629 f or 16GB to
$829 f or 64GB.
Apple also sells older iPad models. The iPad 2 f eatures a lower-resolution screen, slower processor, and 0.7-megapixel back camera. But models
cost $100 less than the new iPad, with the 16GB wif i-only model going f or $399 and the 16GB version with 3G wireless internet going f or $529.
Which is right for you?
The Nexus 7 is a good choice if you’re testing the tablet waters, since it of f ers a good selection of games and apps coupled with Google’s own
f amiliar programs at a very attractive price. The Kindle Fire is best f or those who want a low-priced tablet f or books, movies, and music, but don’t
necessarily care about having access to a large number of apps. For those who want the pinnacle of current tablet tech and the largest selection
of apps — particularly games — the new iPad is the way to go, but you’re going to have to be seriously committed to the tablet lif estyle to justif y
the relatively higher price tag.
