This same question has been asked several times recently. Try a search for more details. The consensus seems to be go with the Nexus 7 based on bang for the buck unless you need the features it doesn't have (rear facing camera or sd card for example).

Here is a video review comparing the two:


There are two other 7" Samsung tablets (7.0) a d I have heard rumors that Samsung is going to be releasing a 7" Note series tablet. I might wait to see if there is any truth to this rumor, but most of Sammy's 7" tablets are over 6 months old, so they should be dropping a new one any time.

I owned Tab 7.7, imo:

Pros
- It's super slim
- Great battery life
- Latest firmware DXLP8 solved ICS Wifi bugs.
- No worry of storage as It have external sdcard support.

Cons
- No update to JB Android v4.1.+
- Not much development (If you flasholic)

Check out the price and compare which is cheaper, and as above members said about other Samsung model.

Bottom line, I still love my Tab 7.7 :)

Not sure about the price. Why not buy Tab7.7 P6800 with 3G capable?

Pic stay?
Google 7 meant for portrait mode only.
Unless you hack/mod to work in landscape

Edit: Take a look here for rotation on Nexus/ Google 7

Android 4.1.2 goes live, gives Nexus 7 owners landscape home screen: > HERE <
