Default I want the Galaxy Tab 2 player on my Nexus!

So I got a Galaxy Tab 2 $250.

Man, it smokes the Galaxy Nexus in just playing videos.
It plays wmv up to 1080p. PLayed a few mkvs and no problems.

The Nexus w/ MX player and a paid version of Dice player plays at 15 fps with drop frames and bad audio synch.

The Tab 2 has an 1ghz TI OMAP 4430 CPU vs our 1.2 ghzTI OMAP 4460.
So the player should work. I tried apk backup but it is a protected file.

Just goes to show, a Google Experience device isn't as great as it hyped up to be. Even on the box, Samsung said the Tab supports all these codecs. I guess they (samsung) paid for those codecs whereas Google skimped on video codec royalties for the Nexus.
