[Vanillalite]

This is not an iPad Mini!

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Wait... no SD card slot? Really?

 

[sca2511]

Looked great. Probably going to stick with the first N7 for a bit though.

 

[Dead Prince]

Wait... no SD card slot? Really?

preorders cancelled again.

All Nexus products are like this. Makes no sense but at least they are consistent.

 

[solarus]

Fuck you google, no UK release date
Coming weeks is a useless statement.

 

[Karkador]

Is there a release date on the LTE version? It doesn't show up on Google Play

 

[Dead Prince]

Is there a release date on the LTE version? It doesn't show up on Google Play

in the coming weeks.

Google doesn't give a fuck about anyone outside of the US. Didn't you know? :-/

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

preorders cancelled again.

Pretty much. I was going to get it for my mom as a gift but she uses the SD card slot in her current tablet.

Shame...

 

[U2NUMB]

So does it have wireless charging? Would love to be able to drop this on my Lumina 920 charging pad.

Edit: Found it on their site

Battery
3,950 mAH (Up to 9 hours of active use)
Wireless Charging built-in (Qi compatible)


Yep awesome

 

[massoluk]

Hey guys, the thread topic wasn't really clear. Is there SD card slot?

/bummer.
Hopefully Asus totally released a slightly different tablet with SD card.

I copied all the specs right off the site and it's in OP

 

[chickdigger802]

can you plug a portable usb drive into this?

 

[captmcblack]

All I need to know is if you can do USB OTG with this, so I can have my little microSD dongle for media.

I'm definitely getting that 16GB version ASAP, though. My first Nexus tablet of my own!

Ditto. Might make me buy if they allow otg. Loading my usb 3.0 is a lot faster than transferring the shitty usb 2.0.

Sold my Nexus 10 for $300 yesterday, Let me order a Nexus 7 32gb already GOOGY!

 

[OneEightZero]

Thumbs down.

 

[GitarooMan]

I love my Nexus 7, use it all time for e-mail, youtube, web, reading comics and books, Google music streaming, great device and perfect size. Really tempted to upgrade, although I think I may wait it out another year. SD slot means little to me, since I store so little locally on it outside of comics, books, and a handful of apps.

 

[OneEightZero]

No SD card.
No Gorilla Glass confirmation.

I'm out.

I love reading comics on my N10. It was serviceable on my Nexus 7, but I had to do pane by pane view, which I hated.

If the screen resolution means I can read full page view on the comics end, then I might be switching myself. Miss having the portability of a 7" tablet.

 

[e_i]

Bestbuy has it up for preorder! Gogogogogo!

 

[snacknuts]

I'm really close to selling my 3rd gen iPad to get one of these. Also, I am kind of surprised that the new Droid Maxx has a 3,500mAH battery and this tablet is "only" 3,950.

 

[Malvolio]

All Nexus products are like this. Makes no sense but at least they are consistent.

Not that I wouldn't want a card slot, but it does make sense if you are Google. Get people to live on the cloud.

 

[FallingEdge]

cmon Amazon, gimme dat preorder

 

[U2NUMB]

I copied all the specs right off the site and it's in OP

You are awesome.. I am not

I sure hope this means Best Buy will have them in store day one. Was so upset they did not get to carry the 2012 version right off the bat. I want to walk in and pick it up and get those Reward points.

 

[DieH@rd]

I will get one, when it arrives in my forgotten country.

 

[norinrad]

Hahaha same here. Come on Google where's the love for Europe?

 

[javac]

Missed the event as I had to pop out. Looks good. Gave my old Nexus 7 to my little brother.

 

[threetri333]

$15 more to get it on release date?

$300? How the hell...

 

[fluffydelusions]

I have 2 staples, like 4 gamestops, and a bestbuy within 10 minutes of me. I'll just go to one next Tuesday. Hopefully they have it in stock.

 

[Willectro]

The original Nexus 7 was a huge disappointment to me for a number of reasons. I really hope they fixed the issues with this new iteration.

 

[gokieks]

I have no idea how anyone could possibly expect removable SD storage on a Nexus device at this point. That train has long left the station and it's not coming back - certainly not as long as removable flash memory continue to be uber-cheap commodity items that's made with the lowest grade of NAND with next to no consistency in quality or performance, and most likely never.

As for the new N7, it's not all the exciting to me beyond the screen resolution (and hopefully it will force Apple to put a higher resolution screen on the iPad Mini sooner rather than later), but the price is definitely right for someone who wants an Android tablet.

Honestly, I was really excited about the intial spec rumors but the final specifications leave a lot to be desired. I would've at least like something comparable to the Galaxy 4/HTC One, etc. But the price and screen are compelling enough. I'm going to wait to see what Apple announces on the 2nd Generation iPad Mini before buying.

 

[Kiraly]

Thread title should have been something to do with the Retina screen, not this negative bullshit

In a 230 USD tablet?

I don't even get the title. The Nexus 7 never had an mSD slot so what does it even mean?

 

[Ephemeris]

32GB or Bust.

It's an Android-Gaf community joke.

It's not negative. Have you been following all the rumor threads here? Every single one is filled with people asking about SD card storage so best just to put it right in the title and get it over with lol.

 

[outunderthestars]

Agreed. Not a fan of trolling in OT thread titles.

While this isn't the tablet for me, it is still an amazingly awesome tablet overall. Great to see Google continuing to push the android tablet market forward.

 

[kharma45]

It'll be tempting when it comes to the UK but my HP TouchPad with Android still does a decent job of what I ask of it.

 

[shwimpy]

Pre-ordered... will hold me over nicely till the iPad mini retina comes out.

 

[NinjaFridge]

UK price up anywhere yet?

 

[Salsa]

no gorilla glass? :/

I wish there was a 16gb 3G one

will probably get

Oh come on dude, you're fighting fire with Apple's buzzword of all thing?

Where? Bestbuy?

 

[tim.mbp]

Does Amazon Prime Video work on Android? Cause the Google store lacks some studios like HBO.
