Lenovo IdeaPad A2109 (22901DU) 9-inch 16GB Tablet PC: $250.00

I'd say go with the nexus, guaranteed android updates and it has a higher ppi screen. Also, you can get the 16 gb version for$199 and 32gb version for $250.

I do see the NExus 7 23GB on newegg for $250.00. They must not have dropped the price of the 16gb yet to 199

I guess the other guys beat me to the link. Also, most reviews say the screen on the Lenovo is crap, so nexus is the obvious choice.
