Google Nexus 7 Tablet

if the dell streak 7 i have screen had been ips, and it didn't weigh 800lbs i wouldn't have minded the 800x480 res.

My wife likes it though so it still gets used

I see that Staples is still selling the Nexus 7 for $199, and the 16gb version for $50 more...must be doing well...

I received the otg adapter yesterday and tested it with my keyboard case and it works just fine. I saw a few Bluetooth keyboard cases on amazon... a few look really nice with their own power supply. And you can also take the keyboard out when you don't need it. They run about $30...

Okay, the app co pilot works great for a free GPS app. It has the option to download maps to the tablet to be used offline. Also, jelly bean updated to 4.1.2 and now the home screen rotates. I still love this tablet...

hmm yoldering that's nice.. when I played with the nexus 7 in store I was disappointed the home screen was portrait only, cause both my tablet and the galaxy 2 can have it in landscape, which feels much more natural for me

I have a Nexus 7 received as a gift. At the beginning, I didn't know there is a soft switch to auto rotation under settings. After I set it to auto rotation, it does since then.

the one I played in store didn't have that option. I know about the option cause I played around with many tablets while I was shopping

The last Firmware update added rotation functionality for the homescreen. Got a 16gb myself -- quite like it, actually.

the 32gb version is out and it's $270 which is only $10 more than the 16gb version... and since like ipad it has no expansion, it only makes sense to get the 32gb one now?

I have the 8GB and have not even came close to filling it, i still have over 4gb left even after getting a bards tale.


I guess it depends on what you do with it.

Yeah, get the 32gb, but like thcrw739 said, it depends on how you use it. My 16gb version still has 10gb's available...
BTW, I am not sure if I ever shared this but Homeysoft has an app that allows you to connect a flash drive to the Nexus without rooting it. I have not had the need to actually buy it yet but I have used the free photo viewer app. Here is the link for it.

Again, no root is required to import media, all you need is an OTG adapter.

Hey nexus 7 users... check your nexus! Mine is in the process of upgrading to 4.2!

Cool...is that CE.NET 4.2?

LOL

Kinda reminding me of my ZT-180, Rich, since I reflashed it from Android to CE 6 R3.

I have still yet to receive the 4.2 update.

EDIT: just checked, its's there now.... They must have released it by GB
