Eh well whatever would be cool to get it on release day lol. I never ordered anything from them so no idea how good they are on that.

It'll be up for sale Tuesday. After their big Kindle HD tablet deal over the weekend.
Wow Mid-Sep? That's annoying, although I'm undecided whether to get this or wait for the new Nexus 10.
Is it confirmed?
The only two places with dates are Ebuyer and Currys/PCWorld. And Ebuyer says end of August.

How is color vibrancy and saturation compared to the first gen Nexus 7?

A bit premature but are there any cases that will be available at launch? I will be traveling the week after this launches and would like a case so I don't damage/scratch it.
Cross-posting this from the Android OT:
Asus have just made their official page for the new Nexus 7 public. On the bottom there are three accessories listed:
Travel cover
Premium cover
Screen protector
Seems like they're gonna do more of an effort to support this one with accessories, maybe?

oh nice. I will order the premium cover as soon as it is available
Does it not have smart cover functionality? Nothing mentions it.
The last nexus 7 had the magnets in but the official cover didn't use the functionality so who knows.
I'm guessing this one will as well and that the premium cover will support it.
I'd also like to see how it works on Full Page view for Comixology, if it doesn't work well that's a deal-breaker for me, splash pages I can deal with through zooming though. I'll keep checking the thread for your impressions, I'm super interested if the new N7 is an improvement in that aspect.

This may be a dumb question, but is this more powerful than a Nook HD+?
I have enjoyed the Nook, but it seems a bit sluggish when running demanding apps.

From a SoC standpoint they are about the same, the S4 Pro (Nexus) and the 4770 (Nook) were released around the same time. I believe the s4 being quad core should have better CPU performance, but the 4470 GPU is better. That said, the Nook was slow mostly due to interface modification, not internals. Anything with Android 4.1+ should perform better.
I bought a $7 cover off Ebay and it worked as a smart cover

Wait, so does this mean you can no longer use wired peripherals with the new N7? Damn it Google!

No, but the Nook HD+ wasn't built for speed. It's a gorgeous e-reader that has the Google Play store. It's for people like me who mainly run one or two apps and read.
If you want a fast Android experience, the Nexus 7 is what you want.

Thanks! Ordered one too.
Ebuyer confirmed to me that they're definitely getting stock in on August 29th. It looks like they're getting a fair chunk of stock straight from Asus.
That's good news. Still later than I was hoping though. I guess Curry's/PCWorld were just playing safe with their estimated date.
32gb bought from Amazon Saturday delivery.

Ordered the 32GB. I used my Prime, so Tuesday delivery.
Awesome.. just placed mine. Thanks! Sold my Surface RT and original Nexus 7 yesterday.. I felt naked without a tablet.
So this will replace my N7 and I will pick up a Surface Pro at some point.
Glad I will have this Saturday!
Correct, Google removed the feature starting with Nexus 4 and Asus confirmed it is removed as well for Nexus 7. Google does not want anyone uses external storage. They clearly want to enforce reliance on Google Drive.

Hyped for this refresh, despite some performance issues I love my Nexus 7 more than my iPad.

Will cases for the original Nexus 7 work with the new model? Or will I have to wait for the new ones to come out?
Opus Angelorum

No. The new one is narrower, taller and slimmer.

Problem is doesn't that also affect keyboards, mice and game controllers? Was hoping I could use an older controller with one, but now I won't be able to, bit of a disappointment.

Hope so but as I said in the Android thread slightly worried that the site doesn't mention smart cover funcionality on the premium cover page.
Heads up if Staples starts selling them early, they have a coupon for $30 off all tablets that expires the 28th.

We need some impressions if some of you guys pick one up early, especially if you have the current model to compare.
where is this coupon?
