If you haven't already picked up a Nexus 7, then you're missing out on what's easily the best Android tablet on the planet. And I don't say things like that lightly.

So, you poor Nexus 7-less soul, here's you chance to snag one for free. Thanks to our friends over at Beansoft, we have a few (read: three) 16GB models to give away. For free. To you.

Thumb Keyboard

If you don't already know who Beansoft is, pay attention. They make one of the best tablet-optimized keyboard that you'll find on the market: Thumb Keyboard. If you have a tablet, and you haven't at least tried TK as your software keyboard, you're seriously doing it wrong. In fact, it's one of the first apps I install on any new tablet I get my hands on, including the Nexus 7.

Speaking of, Beansoft just yesterday pushed an update to Thumb Keyboard that brings a much better layout on 7" tablets like the N7. The update also brings Google dictation integration with continuous voice recognition, a one-handed keyboard, and other new features such as gesture options.

As you can clearly see, Thumb Keyboard makes typing on any larger display a much easier task thanks to its intuitive split-key layout.

It's just not for tablets, though: it also makes a very good keyboard replacement on phones, because, simply put, it's a pleasure to use.

Of course, specs only tell half of the story. As I've already said, though: this tablet is simply amazing. I've used almost every Android tablet on the market, and I easily call the Nexus 7 my favorite. It's just that good.
