I wish that I could post without rating. This is a really good deal. I'd rather have just the tablet and without the extras, but since my wife uses our current tablet in the kitchen when she's cooking to look up recipes, the keyboard is a very welcome addition.
* - Both of these devices are about the same size, and same weight.
* -The Nexus totes a quad core processor, whereas the Tab 2 7 has a dual core processor. You will have to do some research on whether or not this means anything to you, or to what you're going to use it for. If you have 4 wheel drive on your truck, and never intend on using it, why did you spend the extra money for 4WD?
* -The Nexus has Jellybean 4.1 OS, whereas the Tab 2 7 has Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.
* -Both carry sizable batteries, with the Nexus having just over 4325 mah, and the Tab 2 7 having 4000.
* -Both have front facing cameras, but the Tab 2 7 has a rear facing camera. This can be a big deal when using android apps that use the camera as a barcode scanner for the QR code that you see in magazines and such. Controlling where to center the image of the QR when you can't see your display is quite difficult.
* -Both have nice displays, and if you're into specs... Tab 2 7 has a PLS LCD with 1,024 x 600 pixels and Nexus has an IPS LCD with "720p-ready" 1,280 x 800 pixels.
* -Nexus 7 has Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and WiFi with the Tab 2 7 having only Bluetooth 3.0, WiFi... no NFC.
* -The Tab 2 7 has an IR port. Though InfraRed has mostly gone the wayside, it is still used for a lot of TV's, and entertainment center electronics, so the theory here is that while you're couch surfing that you can also control you entertainment center. (added after a followup comment. Thanks Bob)
... and I saved the best for last. Memory.
* -The Nexus 7 does NOT have an expandable memory slot. This means that you only ever get 8 or 16 GB of memory, internal to the device. Whereas the Tab 2 7 is 8 GB internal; with about half dedicated to the OS, but... and it's a big but... you can take a 32GB card and expand the usability of the product in an offline mode to a grand level higher than the Nexus 7 because it does NOT have a slot for any memory card. If your product dies, and you have important data on the Nexus, it may be considered lost forever unless you're backing up to the cloud. But you can do that with the Tab 2 7 as well, AND have a local copy to throw into an adapter and pull up on your PC in an instant.
Just my two cents on the two units, but you should also see which way I'm leaning. My cursor is hovering over the button to purchase the unit today. It's not about which unit to get, it's about wanting to spend the money on this deal or not.

I bought this on 8-19-2012 , so my ownership period has just been a day, but I have to say this tablet is very refined.
The Nexus 7 definitely is better performance wise, but it lacks the features this tablet has. The Tab 2 has the expandable port which can easily increase the 8GB to 40GB's. The main reason I bought this tablet over the Nexus 7 is the ability to control your Television with it. The Peele television app is AMAZING if you figure out how to use it. It shows you everything that is on, and all you have to do is click on the picture , and the remote will take you to the channel showing it. I am using it as my main remote in my living room, I have the tab sitting on the coffee table as my main entertainment controlling device.
Performance wise, it could be better. If you DO NOT upgrade the operating system, then the tablet performs amazingly fast, but after updating the operating system I did notice a difference in performance, screens are now very very slightly choppy as you switch between them. Most people probably won't be able to notice, but I can.
If the tablet would have came with an HDMI out port I would have given this tablet 5 stars. I was looking for a tablet that I could stream Netflix to my TV with and with the IR blaster to control my televisions, I could not find a good one so I settled on this Galaxy Tab 2. I am very happy with my purchase.
Conclusion:
If you want pure performance then pick the Nexus 7.
If you want features and versatility then chose the Galaxy Tab 2 7.

Best deal in town to get the keyboard with this slick new tablet. Second day and no problems. Coming from an iPad, got this because I really need flash to work to do some homework online for school. I love the fact that its the portability of a tablet, but when i need to type a paper its simple to go into my google docs, get the keyboard out, and get to work. very pleased. :)
