Saw a 16gb nexus 7 at GameStop for $259, what a steal.

Nope. That's an iOS thing. Android doesn't have it.

Last I checked the top selling phones on all the major carriers in the US are generally comprised of phones that are not free. Mainly those that are in the $100 to $200 range on contract renewal.... so yeah its kind of a good goal IMO.
There is plenty worth changing there. Honestly at this point I'm just happy to have more devices that are closer to stock. Between the Nexus line, the Moto lines of the future and the Google Experience models of the biggest flagships, there's plenty more options to go around than before.
I would also rather have a iPad Mini size screen, but this will have to do. Speaker placement and notification lights look good. I was just thinking about them using the S4 Pro and if they are going with a 1080p screen, battery life will take it hit and may be worse than the current Nexus 7 depending on how efficient Android 4.3 is.
Would be nice if it has the same dimensions so I can re-use my portenzo case. really wish the back had the same dimpled surface, too.

I still consider $300 a game changer . Especially if you can buy your carrier version from your carrier's store at the same price as the Play Store.ThatObviousUser

Hate that the Nexus logo was rotated.
Moto X costs 1 Sarah Palin.

next up someone will complain about the camera being in a corner and not centered so they don't know which way to hold it...
Rumors have stated that you can customize the device, so it'll likely be some sort of Motorola portal (Dell style...).

To be fair, no one uses the Nexus 7 in landscape mode anyways. I don't really care either way but the back definitely looks and probably feels better on the original Nexus 7.
They should really think of a way to clean up the keyboard and soft buttons in landscape mode cause its a joke right now. Should just have a floating split keyboard like the iPad does.
Not even sure why I asked. It's supposed to be a Rogers exclusive in Canada I believe, so who knows what its online availability will be.
Oh, right, I forgot that you're in Canada. Yeah, you're probably hosed.
There is seriously no app/add on that does that?

people use it in landscape all the time.
To keep the "low rent" feel.

stereo speakers... it worked for HTC!
Those are on the front though and rock >.<
Also, is it me is does Samsung have disdain for the tablet market? Srsly, wtf are they smoking...
Their new line has such low res screens, such low specs... its like they... hate us.
Or is it just pure hubris?
Makes them cheaper to manufacture so they can continue to afford to bundle them with phones for a good price?
If your Samsung Tablet came for free with your phone, you're going to give it the benefit of the doubt compared to the high cost of an iPad.

I feel sorry for those people then
its designed for 'media consumption' and that means movies and youtubes, and that means landscape!

i doubt they feel anything for you.
their tablet strategy seems to be Note = "premium", Tab = garbage

Aww, poor me.
The Notes aren't that "premium" to begin with...

indeed.
A few programs have their own version of the go to top gesture.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I hope the speakers don't suck this time.
No. Something like that you would want implemented in a OS wide nature. Android doesn't have it.
Sure, you can find some apps that have a version, or maybe even an app that tries to do it system wide, but they will be janky and unequal imitations because one OS does it at its core and the other does not.

I don't understand how every app doesn't just include the button that shows up in Opera to scroll to the top. That would be the best way, besides taking what Apple does.
The only saving grace is that Android apps scroll much faster, usually. Except when Samsung tries to match Apple's scrolling speed in their browser. It's no replacement, but I can scroll a 100 post GAF page very quickly (ignoring the fact that there are to the top and to the bottom buttons in mobile GAF).

has calmed down a bit.
Gonna pick up that new N7 right away. Been long enough without an Android device.
In America it doesn't really matter.
You can't take advantage of the off contract price unless you are on TMobile. Other 3 carriers contract price all include the subsidy cost.
