Googles Nexus 7 tablet discussion, reviews

My N7 is as solid as an iPad. Very well built, there are duds out there and as far as I can see they're from Google themselves - bad batch?!

is it? it would be v easy to take the back off one of these compared to an ipad.

currently watching tvcatchup on it for the first time, works brilliantly.
 
Because when you do you'll see the gubbings of what was left out and the space of what's to be added on an update.
 
I have now learnt how to develop live wallpaper that responds to music being played, yay :) (not all music formats/apps work though, boo).

The Nexus 7 is just the right size & spec for this sort of thing. At this rate within a few weeks you will hear me moaning more about the Play Store and the difficulty of trying to get people to part with their cash.

Not to mention dumb users leaving negative feedback you can't respond to!
 
Why would you try and take the back off? :confused:

I wasn't, it came off and then easily clipped back in. that is poor manufacturing for something that isn't meant to be opened. look dont get me wrong I really like it, Id much rather this than an ipad.

I had it were you like this... :D

 
I'm typing this on my n7. I'm slightly overwhelmed as jellybean looks and probably is quite functionally different to the android os running on my phone.
 
Now this is good news:
We initially dismissed Gear4's latest accessory at Google I/O 2012 until we noticed that the attached Nexus 7 was playing audio digitally via the USB port instead of simply through the headphone jack (or wirelessly over Bluetooth for that matter). It turns out that Jelly Bean supports USB audio, a software feature that's bound to spearhead a whole new generation of accessories for Android devices.

I needed it in person, not online, to get it in time for my daughter's birthday. Couldn't find it, so it'll now have to be ordered online and late.

Order through Tesco- you can request it to be delivered to a Tesco near you. And they'll have it ready for you next working day as long as you place the order during the day.

Like I said, it's too late now. At the time I needed it, Tesco online were completely out of stock.
 
Yes, I'm after a case as well. Not sure what to go for.
I've ordered this cheapo one for £11 for now: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Google-Nexu...BFQK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1343729499&sr=8-2

I'm currently using an old generic pouch I used when I first had my kindle

Let us know how that case works out Ed.

I'm currently using the pouch that came with the HTC Flyer. It's absolutely fine but - eek - it's in bling-tastic white leather.
