What steers you Android guys to the Nexus? Most Android tablets around here are Samsungs.
I heard the Ipad minis had better battery life - those of us that fly multiple acft (no ability to hard wire) be warned I suppose?
I get about 5 hours out of the Nexus 7 at max. brightness. That's more than I need but maybe not for others.
BTW I find the "Metam" and "AirReport" app's great for checking weather and NOTAMs, too.
