How soon do you need it? As others have said, the new Nexus 7 is coming out soon... ditto the Galaxy Tab 3, and both look worth waiting for to compare.

If not, what's your budget, and is the 7" size a strict requirement? As I said above, if fI had to buy a new tablet right now at that size range, I'd be looking at the 8" Galaxy Note 8 (although it's still only available in white... feh), which has a great set of features and is a VERY fast and capable tablet.

It's also more than twice the price of the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (although it's more than twice as fast, higher resolution, and has twice the RAM) and almost twice the price of the Nexus 7 (which is a little slower per core but has the same number of cores, has the same resolution, and has half the RAM -- and no SD card slot.)

If you need something inexpensive right now, the Nexus 7 is the obvious choice unless you really, really need the SD card slot; there's nothing else quite that cheap that's anywhere as good.

Looks nice for a 10" model, although the 9.7"/10" and the 7"-8" models are not really interchangeable in use.
