Is there anything out there other than the ipads and nexus 7?
I am trying to avoid the cheap chinese tablets. Do I have any other choice?

It's hard to beat the Nexus 7 in the price/performance ratio. Obviously the mini Retina is a very nice, and in many ways better, tablet but there is certainly a price premium. Think about it this way:
32GB LTE Nexus 7 = $349
32GB LTE Mini Retina = $629

That is a $280 difference. Put another way....the difference in price would pay for 7 months worth of 4.5GB data on T-Mobile, or over 9 months of 2.5GB data. Or think about the difference in terms of apps and media content that could purchased/rented. You need to decide if what an iPad would give you is worth the difference. For the most part the difference is larger screen, higher performance CPU/GPU, and mature app ecosystem/games...though the gap there is definitely closing.
