I wonder if they worked all the QC issues out

4GB memory is probably a typo.

Funny enough, both my old Nexus7 and Tab2 7" fit into my pants pockets without a problem. But I do wear relatively baggy pants and not skin tight jeans.

Same. I already went through more trouble than I should have to get a first gen that was acceptable.
I'll wait for the next gen and a bigger upgrade

That's why you wait for the 3rd generation model which will be baus and hopefully not ASUS made
(Unless they up their QC drastically)

New N7 has 1.5 Gigs of RAM more, 0.5 GHz faster (and quad core vs dual core), 150+ DPI more (higher resolution) and $100 cheaper.

iPad mini has a bigger screen and an Apple logo on the back.

imo, iPad mini is not comparable, maybe the iPad mini 2 is, but who knows when that will be out.

Does this help your decision?
