Long story short. It's very big in Europe and it's finally in the U.S. because they have to deal with record labels and things like that. You get to stream music from them, and it's pretty much amazing. Also allows syncing to your Android device.

shame you cant stream on the phone with free version.
torrents + google music > paying for spotify premium

Anyone have luck with caching for offline play with 4g. I can stream fine with 4g but it wont download for offline play when I select a playlist in the offline playlist editor. Works fine over 3g but is uselessly slow doing that.

I disagree. With Spotify you have nearly any album at your disposal. Can cache up to like 3,333 songs for offline play. For me this beats the hell out of wasting disc space maintaining a collection and in turn actually making the artists some money. I canceled my Slacker account. They had on demand too but their cache process sucked, the app sucked, and the library smaller. The Spotify app and service blows it away. $10 a month is nothing if you listen to a lot of music. I've had it 3 days now and have already listened to about 20 different albums straight through. Pays for itself even if you listen to only 1 album a month.

Freebies with the Nexus 7 pre-order

Does anyone know exactly what we get with a Nexus 7 pre-order, and if this only applies to Play Store orders?
So far, I know we get this:
1. $25 Play store credit
2. Transformers: Dark of the Moon full movie
3. Bourne Dominion Book
4. Several magazine issues (which magazines?)
5. Anything else?
If this is only for Play store orders, then it would greatly justify paying extra for shipping instead of trying to buy somewhere else

I called the order info number, and they said the freebies will be added to the first account activated on the device when you receive it.

In the uk were only getting £15 play store and the movie, no books or magazine subscriptions as of yet

You are aware its not hard setting up Google music for in the UK aren't you? You can't buy tracks or albums but the upload and streaming your music works just fine! Google it, it took me 5 mins once I'd tunnelled a US ip address.

Google certainly should have included "Blade Runner" in addition to or instead of "Transformers".
The Nexus 7 Android whose mission it is to kill Rogue Androids... That would have been a whoot!

Since you get a permanent copy of Transformers, I wonder if they will release the ability to purchase movies when the Nexus 7 ships.

You can purchase movies and tv shows now. Just buy them from the play store on your pc and you can watch them on your android device. All content will show up in the Google Movies app once you purchase something.
Long live the One X

All freebies are pre installed ON THE DEVICE and it doesn't matter where you buy it from (hell I doubt Google will stop offering them even after the pre order)
They are all assigned to the first Google account you sign in with

That was not my understanding. At least Transformers should be in your locker, available for downloading.

Nice we finally have a thread! I have a 16GB I got from someone at sulit.com, how about you OP and have you experienced any of the known issues? Issues I have experienced are the screen flicker and screen lift. Doing the glue fix temporarily did the job, but after a few days it lifted again. Thinking of having this checked at by ASUS, but I want to DIY fix it first (more fulfilling).

The thing is that I haven't really played much with it but so far so good no lift issues or anything. It's pretty handy though. I'm loving my collection of nexus devices

Nope, didn't get it, but it doesn't bother me actually. The tablet was worth it.

Free movie and tv shows w purchase of Nexus 4?

I picked up a Nexus 4 from Tmobile last Friday and my google wallet is showing several free items in my account including Rolling Stones album, planet earth, fallen skies and transformers dark side of the moon free. The date is December 22 which is when I bought and activated the phone. Could not find anything on this but not too bad of a bonus for buying phone. All are downloadable.
Check your accounts or was this a fluke from google play market.
Ian B

Yes I believe all nexus 4 owners got that and I believe that nexus tablet owners got ice age for free but I may be wrong.

Is this T Mobile US or UK? I bought mine from the UK Play Store and haven't had any freebies. Transformers Dark of the moon is something I got with my Nexus 7 though.

Gravity is free if you activated a nexus 5 with your gmail address in the past. Chromecast offers has the X Men movie for some,check offers in chromecast app.

Free is still too much for that movie..... They should pay us to watch it.
