alright. i would love to use & explore iOS too, but sadly, i guess the iPads are out of my reach presently, esp. the iPad 3. getting the earlier contender against the Nexus 7 when i was in the last phase of choosing between tabs - the Nook HD+ (32GB model, for about the same price as the N7 32GB model); 9" screen, with a better display, very conducive to reading (PDFs and ezines alike), and videos i would watch windowed, as i was doing on the N7 too, as SD videos didn't/don't look good stretched out. i think MX Player would allow that, ie, windowed-viewing?
