After coming the new Asus Infinity tablet, and after returning/exchanging my 4th one caused by QC issues, feeling bitter, I thought I'd never (At least until QC is fixed) purchase another Asus tablet again.
Opportunity struck when I was bored and tablet-less, to purchase the Nexus 7 that was on hold from a friend with my name on it. Supposedly I purchased the last Nexus 7 within a 170Mi radius of local stores relative to me, remarked a District Manager of the store.
A shot in the dark, yes, after being through hell with the Infinity.
I absolutely pre-judged this devices 7inch screen, lack of rear camera, lack of ports, etc to justify buying Asus' Flagship latest Transformer tab.
I cant seem to put this damn thing down, I use it constantly, the form-factor is a perfect size and weight, the back feels great to hold. No issues with QC (yet), not a single dead or hot pixel, no screen raising or separation, no creaking or squeaking, this unit feels solid. FYI: My unit is from the 'C8 Serial Number' series.
The biggest issue I have yet are from the bystanders who approach me wherever I seem to go and ask me about my 'iPad Mini' or how did I get an 'iPad Mini'.
Within a 40 minute coffee shop sitting, 7 people approached me asking if it was an 'iPad' mini. I spent twice as long explaining them it's not an iPad Mini, its a Nexus 7, it runs Android OS, etc. Then bombarded by their questioning on why I didn't wait for the iPad Mini and ridiculed as to why I didn't have an iPad yet.
This is my first 'real' Android device, let alone tablet (not counting the Infinity which never left my house, except for the BestBuy exchanges).
I've learned that the confusion of the Nexus 7 for an iOS/Apple is inevitable.
So I raced home and came up with an easy solution... attached are photos.
Yes it's actually easier going with their beliefs of it being an iPad Mini then quickly hiding the device in my bag and watch them try and snap photos from across the room. It also gives me an excuse to quick-pitch the curious that 'they never saw this', and 'we never and cannot talk' which usually does the trick.
A fun game I am enjoying as I await my case to arrive...:laugh:
Cheers to all the newfound friends and support on here. I'm blessed.

Don't you know, Apple invented the 7in formfactor. As soon as they get them out the door in September, they will start legal proceedings against Asus for copying their ideas.
Really, Apple fanboys laughing at you... I think the joke is actually on them...
I love my Nexus7. I bought our first one for the missus - I had a Asus Transformer 10in Android tablet/netbook, but I have since sold that and bought a second Nexus 7 just for me (I could never get on the first one). Both are perfect and both are used CONSTANTLY.
7in tablet is perfect for me, and the spec and price of the Nexus7 are perfect two. I can buy "his and hers" Nexus7 for the price of a single iPad. So who is REALLY the fool?

A high quality (And well reviewed) watch housing for the 6th gen nano. Considering I am a huge fan of minimalist design and I never really had a watch that I have liked, I bought one. It didn't hurt that I had graduation cash to burn. Found a NIB nano on eBay for about 125 and I feel like I will be using this for many years to come. I am actually excited for this and they should both arrive at about the same time.
So, XDA. Thoughts? Am I stupid for being suckered in to this? (Don't worry. You can't make me regret it) Have you ever found some odd reason to justify buying an Apple product? Share

That's a sick watch. I would totally get one, that is if I had an iPod Nano. But nano lost it's video playing skills and besides why do you need it if you own a SGS II and a HP Touchpad, not to brag or anything.
What color did you get? Red looks damn right sexy to me.

Seems expensive to me, cool though.
I see two main issues.
- Going flat always pressing buttons to check the time.
- Having headphones tethered to your hand would be awkward.
I cant imagine having a "watch" that you'd need to charge......
With regards to Apple in general.
I want a Mac / MacBook solely for audio stuff. Pro audio software just runs better on macs.
Cant justify the cost though....
I can see myself throwing it on the charger nightly not too bad.
As far as audio stuff goes, I get along pretty well on my PC. Linux has some nice choices as well

'iPad Mini' Billed as a Nexus 7 Killer
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2406688,00.asp
I know Damon (the article author) is probably trolling, but boy oh boy, how many other websites are reporting this as "news".
Wow.
I couldn't stop laughing (ROTFLOL etc) when I read this, fun times ahead Apple is probably having sleepless nights with its dropping market share to Android, Samsung (oh and did I hear RIM collaborating with MSFT... Ha ha ha awesome).
as much as this is floating around, many believe it won't happen as Jobs said himself he doesn't like that form factor. Not to mention it doesn't seem like apple since they're notorious for over charging for things. Then again who knows.
The iPad mini would probably be really expensive and won't compete directly to the nexus 7, but i know people will still buy it because its Apple. Its sad that Android has a reputation of being difficult to understand when they're both about the same in terms of ease of use.

Not to be blunt, but Jobs is gone, and there are MANY within Apple who knew he was nuts. There is no doubt in my mind Apple will try to compete in this size and price point, they won't just give it to Google.

Heh... This had to come, Apple fans are probably unable to digest the Nexus 7 in its current form (and at its current price point). Another twat article I caught about this "Nexus 7 killer tag" which started with the following lines "The hunter becomes the hunted"... stopped right there, was a Damon Poeter clone.
Judging the by the price of their iPod Touch, a $199 price for a 7" is very unlikely.

You keep worrying about what's going to come out after your purchase and you'll never buy anything.
I have no doubt Apple will release a 7 inch tablet to replace the iPod touch which is pretty much useless in there product line right now. Why get the iPod when you can get the iPhone for about the same price subsidized. They need another product they can market as filling a nitch the that their other products don't.

So you think Apple cares what everyone whats, or that they will change the product line in a way to sustain the most profit.
Here check out the iPod sales compared to iPhones and iPads with only about half of them being Touch sales.
http://www.cultofmac.com/162848/app...ance-two-ipads-for-every-mac-in-schools-more/
They are do for a refresh and the need something the stand apeart from the iPhone and the iPad. Hence the will come out with a 7 inch iPod touch to fill the gap. The current touch is just too similar to the iPhone.
Apple has NEVER built low cost hardware going all the way back to the Apple II. The whole business is built on selling overpriced, nice looking hardware to prissy buyers with lots of disposable income. I can not imagine them fighting for the $199 entry level tab market.
And like one poster said... an 8gb iPOD TOUCH is selling for $199
Cool, another tablet for me to waste my money on. Bash the iPad all you want, but it is still the best tablet on the market and a 7" version will be just as awesome. Can't wait.

Size? Yes, probably. Price point? Highly doubt it. Apple has never released a "competing" device that hasn't been "overpriced" (in my opinion) for the same hardware. I see their 7" device being in the $300 to $350 range for around the same performance and the fanboys will eat it up.

Is the Nexus 7 one of the most of the anxious devices you have purchased?
Is the Nexus 7 one of the most of the anxious devices you have purchased?
For me, yes
I answered yes but mostly because it's the first thing I've ever pre-ordered, which instantly makes it the longest I've ever had to wait to receive a shiny new toy.
Second most anxious device (after Nexus One).
I dunno, but when I get mine I'll ask it.
As anxious as when I first got my iPad 1

Don't know. Google hasn't specified it's anxiousness so hard to say . I am anxious about receiving it though
I hope it isn't too anxious because I have no idea how I would safely administer Valium to it. I'm fairly happy to be getting it though.
More anxious than when I was going to get my iPad
first real android tablet!! waiting is killing me!
I don't pre-order stuff because I'm very impatient, this is the first time I've pre ordered anything and the wait it is killing me.
I specified that I wanted one that was already on Xanax.
I am always anxious to get ANY new device
Dunno if anything will ever exceed the happiness of me getting my first USR 28K Sportster modem as a kid. Partly because it was the most expensive thing I ever bought with my paper route money.
I'm a early adopter and love my gadgets. Maybe the original Palm Pilot had the most anticipation for me followed by my first iPhone.
I was telling my wife last night about reading on Compuserve that the Palm Pilot was in stores, calling Circuit City and begging the guy to hold one for me for and hour. I called my boss and told him I had a personal emergency and went to get my Pilot.
I won't need to call off work to get my Nexus, I work at GameStop.
I'm pretty excited but a new toy is always exciting
Ever preorder thread has been like this. The tf101 preorder thread was intense, for example.

Nice Well man, from one father to another, I'm sorry for your situation... I couldn't even imagine going thru that with my soon to be 2 year old daughter. I do hope you get to use it with your kid. Have fun.
But anyway, I haven't seen the commercial on air yet, but I saw it on Engadget a few days back. It's cool I guess. It wouldn't make techy people like ourselves run out and buy it, but since it's aimed at the average Joe, its a decent commercial. I'm surprised how popular the N7 is without advertising! I hope they start to run 2-3 different commercials, and really show off what the N7 can do...and at the end, throw the price up on the screen.
"Starting at $199"
Its a great device ( I sold my Transformer Prime to buy the N7) and it's the first Android device that I think anyone can pick up and just use.

It is and I'll continue to say along with them being a patent troll to eliminate competition and consumer choice. I started out on Apple but don't buy that overpriced underspecced crap anymore.
As a BB employee I can say that a good majority of staff only know about the products in the department they work in. Just because we are near a department does not mean we work in said department. We generally do not sell the entire store. Also, we don't care which products you buy because we do not work on commission and even if we did we make the least amount of money (as a store) on apple products.

As a second bb employee, I can confirm this. The majority of people I work with didn't know about the Nexus 7 when I got it, since it's not anything we carry it's not really anything they need to know.
And too touch on that apple part, we make close to zero money on apple products, so I promise there's no reason to push them.

The A5X has an SGX 543MP4, that is 4 graphics processors (not just 4 cores) in one SoC, totaling 16 cores, 32 GFLOPS (vs about 10 in the Tegra 3 T30L).
Has dual channel DDR2 memory (vs single channel DDR2 in the Tegra 3).
An aluminum body.
The highest 264 DPI display in a tablet.
Amazing looking color quality.
I understand it is cool to hate on Apple. But let's not go nuts and say it's under specced. The iPad 3 is a beast. And I was shocked with such a great display they were able to stay at the $500 price tag, that is thanks to their bulk buying power no doubt.

So I went to bb today to see if they carried the Nexus or accessories. I glanced and didn't see it so I of course walked over to the "computer" employee working that area.
Asked her if they carried the new Google tablet. She asked me who made it, what the name of it was, and other questions that I would think a bb computer employee would know.
After answering her questions she goes to look but I knew at this point they didn't have anything. When she returns she says, "we don't have that but I do have the ipad"
I was speechless

Thought about it! I worked in retail as a general manager for years and I always knew what we did and did not have. And as the GM I had to know the whole store so I'd expect the computer section person to know that department.
I was actually recruited by best buy one time but its hard to move up.
Anywho, when I got home I ordered a case online for under $7. Its a snap on kind with screen protector like my note had.
rambling done now
