The Tab 2 has been absolutely great, by the way. Any concerns as to dual core versus quad core have evaporated -- I've not had a hint of slowdown despite using it pretty hard. And being able to stick a 32GB microcard in it has been pretty useful too.

That's annoying. Still, I guess the other similar tablets don't even offer an 8gig version at all.

Why do you want so little memory? It's not even 8gb with allows the system files.

Because it's 40 quid less.
just plug in the USB into the laptop and delete?

But you're tempted, no?
I'm a tidy person. I don't need more and I'd prefer to not pay for more.

Well I got mine yesterday and I'm more than happy with it. The screen is amazing on it with the Tegra HD games .

The fact I got a 10% discount only makes it all the more sweeter
.
.After 2 weeks use, there are a few things that bother me.
1. Speaker and headphone volume at max is pretty tame
2. There are a few applications that can't be installed on the N7 (maybe not compatible with jelly bean)
3. If you have your N7 in a case, you'll most likely find that the power and volume buttons are a bit awkward to depress
Otherwise I love it!

On my case, the tablet turns on and off automatically as you open/close it. Problem solved!

Power on and off or lock the screen? Is that what the ''magnetic sensor'' is for?

Power on and off.
I'd love one. Unfortunately I've not got the money to spare. Ground rent is due, need two new tyres and I could do with a boiler contract.

Can I ask a bit of bone question - mum has been using a 10 year old ex work pc which is pretty much on it lasts legs and having read the thread, I do like the look of the nexus 7. She really only uses it for facebook & email and wondering whether it really is quite simple to use as she is not at all IT literate - I've seen the ipad once which seems pretty foolproof - is N& as easy to use for someone in their late 60s?
My mum uses an iPad to do everything she wants. Sends emails, buys stuff online, plays solitaire and waht not. All self taught, not exactly computer literate. I can't see why she wouldn't be able to use an N7 - same goes with your mum. They're very intuitive.
She'd probably prefer the bigger screen on the iPad however as you can enlarge the text. You can enlarge the next on the N7 too put with a smalls screen it's better with smaller text.

Cheers Firky thats very useful - did think about the iPad but just too much money for me at the moment (will buy second hand if someone is selling one?) I might pop into somewhere and have a play cause she lives up in Nott'm I'm not around to talk/through show her how to use it of fix if she 'breaks' it!

There are only two flavours...you could have saved £30 getting the 8gb model, but there's no difference other then that.
