My girlfriend ordered me a Portenzo case for my birthday. Best girlfriend ever and can't wait to get my hands on the case.

I've been using my moga controller with my Nexus 7. Emulators are so much fun with a controller.

The Portenzo case is very nice. And I have the basic model without the intelligent stand.

i was debating between that one and the treeglo myself. still haven't decided.

She got the intellistand and the hidden magnets/elastic strap. I cringed at the price of everything. I feel it is was way too much to spend on me, but I'm certainly grateful and happy.

I'd go with Portenzo. I read some bad things about Treeglo and how they do business. Not sure if they were completely true, but it's just something to think about. Someone in this thread posted a picture of their Portenzo a few weeks back and they were very happy with it. It might have been FunnyBunny, actually. Can't remember. I haven't seen anything negative about Portenzo, though.

So any feedback on a Nexus 10? Dad is offering to buy us one for Xmas.

I've had a 10 for weeks and love it. I originally had the original Asus Transformer, so it was a big leap. Front-facing speakers should be standard in tablets now.

Got my brother a 7 for Christmas. I'm interested to see how they compare.

8-Bitty and the Broglia .emus are all you need.

iCade support built in...works amazing.

i have one. i enjoy it. it's light and the display is as amazing as everyone is saying...

also, i like to turn it vertical for web browsing. i dunno i find that kicks ass for web browsing. super tall tablet. with it's 16x10 (i think?) form factor

i also have a 7 too, and while i like the 7 for gaming if i'm using touch controls, the 10 is great if you're using a ps3 controller or other bluetooth controller. because of the big screen.

if you are mainly going to be reading books and light gaming/web browsing go with the 7.

if you are reading magazines and watching movies more than reading books go with the 10

I'm using my n10 right now. Its pretty sweet. Ive had a n7 since launch and I can say that this is certainly worth $400- or twice the price of a n7.

 

[AndyD]

Thanks guys for the feedback. Now its just a matter of finding one in stock somewhere,

 

[Wazzim]

Joined the N7 club today, really like the smoothness of JB.

 

[inner-G]

Just picked one up last night, thoroughly impressed!

FF3 runs like a dream, grabbed NFS:MW too since it's .99

Edit: what's the best SNES program to get if I want to use a PS3 controller?

 

[CPS2]

Anyone know any good arcade emulators?

 

[andycapps]

Just got a n7, downloaded Netflix and I'm getting a 13007 error. Is that normal?

Definitely not normal to get an error. Is it on your download or on your running of netflix? If its download, the store could be overwhelmed.

 

[adroit]

Netflix is down dooby doo down down.

Running it. Never mind, if it's down then that's all good.

MAME4Droid in the market.

You will need the MAME 0.37 ROMset however.

 

[lordfroakie]

Just got Nexus 7 and wondering if I still have Google Play $25 credit.

By the way i have a certain problem with some emus. The folder created, for roms, doesn't appear when browsing the tablet on pc... is that normal ?

Just got a Nexus 7 and can't copy anything to it.

Fresh out of the box, played around with it a bit, installed Facebook and a couple other apps, and connected it to my comp. Nothing. Then realized I need some app since I have a Mac. Detected the tablet fine. Tried to drag and drop music folders onto the Nexus like it said I should, and I either got some bullshit "restart your device" (something like that) or "make sure your device isn't locked, remove it and connect again blah blah blah".

Tried turning it off, restarting, etc. at least 5 times. Still can't copy files.
Tried going on my Windows partition, still encountered the same problem.

I'm really starting to lose my patience, the thing is fresh out of the box for god's sake.
Any ideas? Please tell me I'm just making some stupid mistake.

You have a mac?

Usually I'd laugh but I'm seriously going nuts over here

Me and my girlfriend are now part of the Nexus 7 family. We each received a 32gig Nexus 7 for Christmas and so far we are both loving 'em!

I will eventually root it, but am in no hurry to at this point....

 

[Cipherr]

Go grab Airdroid, transfer your files over your wifi (through a browser window) until you can figure out what the problem is. I have no clue about what could be wrong, got no Macs in our house.

Edit: Assuming Airdroid is mac compatible, lol.

I am also apart of the Nexus 7 Christmas crowd.

I am currently on 4.1.2, is it worth installing the 4.2.1 update. I keep hearing about people having issues, is this really wide spread or just the vocal minority.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Posting from my Nexus 32Gb.

Love it!

Bunch of subjective changes and a few bugs. Stay on 4.1 if you are happy with it until they iron out the issues on 4.2

 

[OneEightZero]

Solid Explorer is so good.

 

[AwakenedCloud]

So Amazon Local has 40% of Kindle accessories today - http://local.amazon.com/national?t=slicinc-20&tag=slicinc-20

I'm thinking of picking up a case. Kindle Fire HD cases fit the Nexus 7, correct?

New member of the nexus 7 crowd checking in. Android has grown up so much since I last had it two years ago!

 

[gcubed]

After having and bailing on the first android tablet I must say they've come a LONG way. They are still far behind apple but as opposed to before they actually seem to have momentum. I love the size.

 

[Dead Prince]

does this thing offer a speaker dock or something?

Sweet little device here.

+1 for the Nexus 7 crowd today (32GB flavour), currently charging after spending all day on the damn thing, it's so impressive. Downside was each and every person coming through the door had the same idea! I love handing it to people who are usually utterly terrified of technology and they're off and running with a couple of swipes.

Will whip out the OTG cable and get transferring some music and video across and I'll be set.

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

Woohoo for getting a new Nexus today! My mom got a nice new Ipad with the retina display but for me, the Nexus is great.

Just noticed that Amazon's app store has World of Goo for free today if anyone wants a fun game for their new Nexus.

 

[Threi]

Swee- oh wait i forgot you can't get anything from them if you aren't in the US, digital or not

=/

 

[The Faceless Master]

my sister got a Nexus 7... i've used one in store displays and it was cool, but in person it's just so ... small ... of course, i have a Galaxy Note II so that may be skewing my perspective.

 

[kehs]

All you new owners need to get rid of the nav bar and install LMT launcher for quick controls.

Totally superior method of using this tablet. Basically no need to ever go back to the launcher screen.

 

[Ashhong]

My niece got an iPod Touch today and I convinced her parents to switch it out for a Nexus 7 since it'll mainly be used for games and such. Is there anywhere that still sells the 8gb? There's no impending refresh coming out for the Nexus right?

The 8GB has been superseded by the 16GB. You can find them, but not at retail.

wouldn't 16gb be good enough if she's into games.

 

[Ashhong]

wouldn't 16gb be good enough if she's into games.

Was hoping the 8gb would be available for less, since that would be enough space for her. I guess 16gb will have to do though.

You are a good person. Thanks!

Great. The Nexus 7 I got for the mother in law from Google has the right side of the screen raised and it clicks.

Generally I agree, but the split notification bar in 4.2 really is horrible.

[markot]

I like it. And its amazing on phones.

 

[RS4-]

I don't remember much of 4.2.1 as I installed CM10 a few minutes later. Kind of sucks that CM10 doesn't have multi user option just yet as I don't want to rely on an app from the marketplace to do something that is already in 4.2

Will wait for 10.1 or whatever new version of Cyanogen.
