For the few people like me who still don't have a Nexus 7 in their hot little hands, the guide book in the Play store has been updated with the content that was missing before. Not a big deal. Just something to look at while you wait.

Not to sure Google agrees. Btw check your spam if you haven't yet, who knows.

 

[DarkFlow]

fucking google man. As an act of good faith they should shut down their online store because they simply aren't ready for such a thing. It's the only moral solution.

It worked fine when I ordered my GSM nexus. Got it in 3 days.

Edit: on a side note. I'll probably keep mine unrooted for awhile. Does the play store still not let you rent movies if your rooted? I want to use up my credit.

Apparently they've recently reversed that limitation.

wait that 25$ credit, it's only good for movies and not apps ?

It's good for anything in the play store

No it's good for anything. I just have everything I need.

I think it has something to do with ordering it along with the cover. I ordered mine with the cover on announce day and no sign of shipping.

Hopefully better luck next week.

I really think they stocked about 10 covers. It's been on the notify me for weeks.

I'm still gonna wait on that smart cover.

nothing in spam. No charge on my card, no nothing.

is there anyway to keep apps like youtube running in the background when you switch to something else, kind of like how spotify works?

Hate to post this question but I can't find how to search in a thread... now that I have the nexus 7, what are the best emulators for android? And do any of them support a ps3 controller?

There's definitely an app for ps3 controller support. Cart man posted it am few pages back in that big ass list.

Is Google advertising this thing? Haven't seen any TV spots for it.

I've seen ads for it all over the web, not TV yet though.

It needs root to work.

Man, I'm really tempted to get one of these. I already have an Asus Transformer, but my time with my kindle (not fire) has made me realize how much I enjoy that form factor. Nothing wrong with my Transformer, but I think for web browsing and email I'd prefer the Nexus 7. Anyone here trade in their 10" tablet for this? Thoughts?

I'm trading mine in. Though I have a thinkpad tablet which is heavy as all fuck. This one is sooo much lighter and easier to hold for web browsing. So much smoother too.

 

[Izick]

anyone got any ideas regarding my previous question?

Man... That blows. I gather that you've had no luck locally at b&m stores either?

About YouTube the BG? Not trally, its up to theapp. I wish they would implmenet a listen ooption like ted talk has, its so awesome.

 

[Izick]

That's lame, but now I have ted'talk so that's a draw.

Demonstration of some apps running on the Nexus 7. Man, I'm getting jelly now

That was a great video for outlining a number of apps I'm likely to run on the N7. Man... Can't wait til Monday now

Looks like that screen is too small for comics and magazines.

 

[DarkFlow]

So cope, you know how well the tegra 3 over clocks? I want to see what this quad core can do.

Didn't see it that way.

The screen is great for comic books. Read a few of them today on it.

IMDB (of all things) looks GOOD on a 7in screen and gaming controls seems way more acceptable on a 7in screen than a 4in or 10in screen.

The N7 is in dire need of native emulator support for this very reason.

None near by my house sold any, or at least they were sold out very very fast. If this doesn't ship on monday I'm taking everybody down, google, america, all of you, etc...

Hmm, hopefully, the display units will have some loaded up.

 

[Sanjuro]

Hmm, hopefully, the display units will have some loaded up.

I used old reliable Perfect Viewer, which was alright. The optimized Komik worked by far the best.

Trust me, it's perfect for comics. That is the only reason I've had any interest in one. Didn't have to zoom in once vertically or horizontally two-page.

I have bad/good news depending on if you hate Google or not. It's perfectly sized for them.

so komik or perfect viewer

I just tried reading some comics on comixology and it was just fine. Everything fits on the screen and words are still very readable.

I think I've seen some threads on xda pushing then to 1.5, done recally keep up too much with overclocking though.

Got an extra pitchfork?

I'll supply the pitchforks/molotovs/list of obscene language we can use/etc...I'm working on making Bane masks too.

Need an angry mob app.

It would probably end up being just an upscaled petition.

This thing has succeeded in making my galaxy nexus feel small.

Got the tablet yesterday and have been reading through sandman, thoroughly enjoying it. From all the comic book readers I have tested Comic Rack(free or paid),is the best.

 

[Bboy AJ]

10" form factor for life!

I kind of want an N7 now but I know my iPad is a better fit for me. I can use both iOS and Android with my Note and iPad combo. Oh well. Enjoy.
