7" landscape tablets

Trying to find a decent one, something about like a Galaxy Tab 2, but with the charging port on the longer "bottom" side.

Oh and with GPS and bluetooth.

Any ideas?

Edit, shouldn't have to say but Android tablet, of course.
 
The Blackberry Playbook comes to mind. If you don't mind the OS, that should meet your criteria. (It's not Android, but it runs the apps and can be had pretty cheaply.)
 
The longer bottom side ah?

Haven't seen a 7' with the charging port there

I assume you want it for mounting in a car or the like?

Correct, I'm going to put it in my dash.

I'm after an Android tablet mainly because I'm familiar with the OS and have tons of apps for it. I'm open to other devices if they have working GPS and will physically fit.

I'm not up to date in its development, but I know at one point you could put the Google Play Store on it, meaning all your Android apps should work on it from your account.

Few people in my car club have done the same with Nexus 7 tablets, I considered the same with my old 7' Samsung P1000 but I decided removable was a better option even if it looks ugly, as I like having cubbys and a headunit.

Here's my transformer setup

Word of warning though DO NOT use the camera on any of your devices if you have subs

The 1080p camera is rooted in that tablet from the bass

The N7 would be just about PERFECT, if it didn't have those massive 5" bezels above and below the screen. Damn you, Asus.

I specifically want an in-dash tablet, because I don't want a million brackets everywhere on my dash. My phone mount is bad enough. Of course, it won't be permanent, either, I'm going to buy another dash bezel off eBay to hack up, and I'm going to cut into the dash behind is as little as possible.
