Nexus 7 deployments

Does anyone how much experience using the Nexus 7 for ODK deployments. We
have been using Galaxy Tabs as they are more readily available in East
Africa, but I'm really fed up with the proprietary connectors. I'm looking
at a large deployment coming up, and I don't want to have to rely on extra
Samsung cables when I can find another tablet that takes the ever present
microUSB.

Any thoughts on the Nexus 7's battery life, GPS accuracy, sturdiness, etc?

Thanks,

I have been using Nexus 7's for about 4 months now and I have to say it out
performs the Samsung devices hands down, only downside is the lack or rear
facing camera and early versions have no 3G/Data otehr than Wi-Fi. From a
strudiness point it feels much tougher than a samsung...

I have also tested a Panasonic toughpad 7" and I must say i prefer it over
everything else from a ruggedness point. The lack of availability in
Southern Africa is an issue however for us but had it been available it
would be my de-facto tab of choice.
