what's with the bold look on the hour figure? It that supposed to be significant?

It's a style thang. I quite like it. I'm still hugely impressed with the Nexus 7. I still can't get over what fantastic value it is.

It's a conspiracy!
insured? I have to get a case because I am a clumsy type. I am actually not that keen on the case on this gadget, makes it tougher to hold

What case?
He got the official asus flip open rubbery case. Not much padding but he dropped it from a desk and caught it on his foot. He didn't even check it until later as thought it would be nothing.
I've got one of those flap open leathery padded stand ones. Probably more use.

Fortunately they're such good value that replacing once isn't the eye watering experience it would be with an iPad. In fact it is probably cheaper than paying excess on the insurance.

Carbon Fibre flip one for a tenner. Is pretty decent actually, just less comfortable to hold.

Oh great, now not only is the clock ugly but the swiping animation between pages of the default launches has an appalling framerate. Thumbs down for this update, although I will try again later in case its doing something in the background thats causing this unacceptable slowness.

Poker stars now thinks I have a 0*0 resolution screen and won't run 
I quite like it as I can use it as a clock for the kutchen (where it sort of lives) whilst it charges
Update available
You're too late, all the cool kids are now on 4.3

This is why we're getting one for the Bearcub in preference to an ipad mini.
whats is that about? the hour numbers in bold, then the minutes in non bold...thats about all I have noticed when updating...
Just got mine yesterday, frankly it totally rocks.....paired via bluetooth straight away to my iPhone. The fact you need some apps to do basic things is a bit weird, so far I have installed a file manager to be able to map network drives, a camera app, something called 'pocket' which the 'editor' recommends (not this one, the google one
) a video viewer so I can view .avi files, and some other stuff.How many people here have rooted their device? is it worth it?
I work in IT security, and Android is noted for it's lack of security, but trying to fathom the hype from the reality, yes it's insecure as anyone can develop apps for it, but after scanning the net it seems that the actual infection rates for Android are very low, however I'm thinking some sort of free AV probably isn't a bad idea..

I rooted mine as I wanted to play around with modded OS and it was out of warantee. Not sure it was worth the effort tbh.
The only app I've found that's nice to have that you need root for is an adblock for webpages. Claims to work on apps as well, but only seems to do some of them.
Edit: That's not a nexus 7, but an android phone.

Think I would as well...the Kindle seems quite limited if you want to consume stuff outside their ecosystem.
