How much for the 64 lol
Yeah, I'm doing an exchange and I didn't think about just refunding and going there which would have been closer. Maybe I'll do that in the morning instead.

depends on the delivery driver.
Just ordered this on Amazon. This will be my very first tablet, and I hope I don't regret entering the tablet world.
Any good paid tablet apps? I have around $30 of Google Play credits.
I'll also take note of this, thanks.

I think most of the best tablet apps are all free.

I've always printed out my tracking info then print and sign my name at the bottom saying please leave the package. Fedex has always complied with that for me. They take the note and that satisfies them I guess.

Dat bezel!
I love my gen1 Nexus 7. If this one has a thick bezel I'm sticking with what I got until the retina ipad mini hits.

Well adapting from being an iOS guy my entire life. Going to take some time.

Welcome home.
I think this one is almost the same top and bottom, thinner on the sides is what gives it the elongated look on press shots.
A phone like the HTC One made that transition very easy for a lot of people.

Yep. It is basically same height as og but the width is narrower so it makes the top bezel look bigger.
They made the top and bottom bezels bigger than the original and it's the same height now as the iPad Mini. Check The Verge video review at minute 1 to see for yourself. Although you're still right that it's "basically" the same height as the original.
Do you play any graphically intensive games? If so I would opt for 32gb. If not, 16 should be fine, even if you have like 5 gigs of cached music or so. For me it's really the phone where I need that space for sure because I have big games, photos/videos I've recorded (1080P videos), and cached google music taking up the space.

Always go for bigger
I really think what Google wants is for it to get more looks from developers when the general public takes notice. Combine the low price with high quality and they're on their way. Google believes they can usurp Apple's dominance when it comes to the top app marketplace, and also have developers create more tablet applications to create a force for all android tablets. The N7 line is definitely their answer to doing that.
Not really, it's pretty balanced in my opinion.

Where's my Nexus 10 refresh, Googy?
I highly suggest checking out the Android Software thread.
But to answer your question, pocketcast
I use BeyondPod. Haven't used anything else so I couldn't tell you why it's better than anything else but it works fine for me.
I'd like to know if my Lumia 920 wireless charger can work with it as well.
Yep. It uses Qi.
I caved and bought one of these. I have zero experience with Android stuff, only iPad, and so far it's a little bit janky compared to iOS. I have an iPad 3 and a mini. Touchscreen isn't as responsive it seems like.
Biggest annoyance right now is when using the built-in Chrome browser, even in landscape mode, some websites are not properly fitting onto the screen automatically. They are a little bit zoomed in, like just a teensy bit, and I have to do the two finger zoom out to properly frame the page. This happens on Amazon.com, for instance. Anybody know how to fix this?
And while I can tell that websites are generally loading faster, gif-heavy threads still bog down. I though quad core and 2 gigs of ram would mean a bigger improvement over my iPad mini, bleh.

Chrome on my i7 4.4Ghz PC bogs down in GIF heavy threads sometimes.
It just doesn't handle gifs that well, I don't think.
You have to realize that mobile browsers are still pretty far behind the curve.
Mobile Safari is the fastest mobile browser right now, and, benchmarking-wise, it's at the speed of IE8. Which is remarkable, really, considering mobile hardware limitations and such, but that just shows how much more we have to progress.
I forget where I read it, but there was a nice little feature talking about memory bandwidth and mobile browser performance - maybe it was Anandtech or Ars.

Anyone recommend any keyboards for this thing? These Logitech ones I'm looking at seem to be the best but they're kind of pricey
Alot of the cheaper ones I'm looking at are really small though, or missing essential keys like shift and tab.

WebKit is bad at GIFs and always has been.
On the desktop, it's better to use Firefox.
Unfortunately, Firefox for Android is still kind of ass-tastic. So your options there are limited.
When I open MX player it says unsupported android version. D:
so reading this it seems that google finally fixed the garbage collection routines for 4.3, thus eliminating the issues with the original nexus 7's storage issues (which with mine and other people's experiences report a definite speed boost)
...it only took them until the release of the device's successor to do it.
Good job google lmao

Yeah it's strange they couldn't have pushed a small update to enable trim, the difference is night any for me.
It actually feels like new hardware.

What does that mean?
Meaning you can hook up external usb drive, sd card reader, etc through USB OTG cable. Very handy for carrying larger amount of media files, transferring files around various USB media, etc.
Probably no OTG cable use before root :/?
OTG cable would allow you to hook up usb sticks / hard drives / card readers etc
