      No the Prime isn't too big at all for me. I have it in a nice leather folio/flip case which makes it even easier for me to handle. It's light enough that it's not cumbersome in the least.

        That's no help just makes it more difficult to decide.  ;)

              But… that involves waiting.  ;)
              And spending, a lot, more.

                Well there's your deciding factors:

                If you want it now or want it cheap, and can deal with the smaller screen – go Nexus 7
                If you don't mind to wait and want a bigger screen for more money, and an optional keyboard dock, go for Prime Infinity
                If you want it now you can still opt for the Prime, 300, or the older Transformer or Slider (which can often be found for cheap, the original transformer even has ICS now)

                  I've pre-ordered it because, for the main use I have for tablets, the 7" screen and smaller form factor is ideal. For me it'll mostly be as an eBook reader and for watching movies on the bus/train/plane etc. I already have a 10" netbook through, if I didn't have one I might have had a harder time deciding.

                    So I ended up pulling the trigger on a Nexus 7 and it should have arrived yesterday. However it didn't. It seems the UK courier company, having attempted to deliver it to me last week, have instead returned it to Google…. in Kentucky!  >:(

                      I finally got a Nexus 7. Posting from it now.
                      It's pretty awesome really. Fits my requirements almost perfectly.
