Can't we all get along?
Yeah, I saw it in a few stores as I recall.That's a shame. It looks like a good product that needs to be pushed. Was the Amazon Fire ever put on retail?

Except there are requirements regarding the DPI grouping for running content in 'tablet mode'. Based on the screen size grouping, you then calculate the minimum physical resolution.

Sort of. The DPI groupings are for pulling assets, while the physical dimensions groupings are for setting layouts.
The actual resolution of the display is used for calculating the scale of the elements into DP but it doesn't have to be anything specific. It's why you can trick a phone into showing tablet layouts by changing the PPI profile.
Like the transformer tablets that have all elements the same size, but one with a 1200px tall screen(infinity) and one with an 800px tall screen(prime).
Never gets old¯\_(ツ_/¯
I understand how it works. Of course it can be hacked, that's not the point. Are you honestly arguing Google would license their services if an OEM was doing that though?

It appears future shop and best buy (in Canada) will have the Nexus 7:

I don't know why it says the estimated release date is Aug 10th. Probably incorrect, since Staples.ca has it listed for July 23:

Was in Gamestop today and they have signs all over. Preorder the N7, get +30% on all trade ins towards it. You also still get Transformers and the 25.00 in Play credit.
Im tempted to cancel my preorder and get from there but Im not sure if theyll have it on release day
when the hell is release day ?
I'd wager staples is wrong if the other two list the same dayIt appears future shop and best buy (in Canada) will have the Nexus 7:

unless staples is google/asus' preferred reseller and nobody told me
Pre-order your Nexus 7 by July 10th, 2012 to reserve one of these limited quantity tablets. Product will ship between July 12th and July 17th. Expected delivery: 1 - 3 business days, arriving no earlier than July 13th 2012. Your credit card will be charged at shipment.
Buy the new tablet from Google and get $25 credit to spend on Google Play, as well as some great free content, including your own copy of Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
Only thing I don't like about this is that there's no 4G. I can live without the storage but what am I going to do on those long ass bus rides without an internet connection
Staples it is then.
So, this is from a while back, but I remember people complaining about the cover accessory thingy compared to the iPad's. What the hell kind of featurs does a cover supposed have?
prevents damage in a backpack ?
thats all I can think of
Upcoming covers from Asus.
Gross.
haha tell me about it.. No features
Exactly.
The posts in question:
It has no magnetic lock like the smart covers for iPad have (it locks onto the screen and can auto put it to sleep and wake it up). That is the features being referred to.I'm going use it without anything on it as well most likely, but I thought it was a silly complaint. Not to mention the "features" thing confused me.
Here I was thinking of the Surface's keyboard and trackpad, but to be honest that probably is most sensible in a Windows x86 tablet anyway.It has no magnetic lock like the smart covers for iPad have (it locks onto the screen and can auto put it to sleep and wake it up). That is the features being referred to.
It's not magical enough.
The only way to watch the latest Transformers movie.
Ahaha
That's a battery life tester's dream: turn the volume and brightness up, press play, stuff it between two couch cushions, and go do something else for two and a half hours.
