Chris_ Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I'm glad I didn't buy a Blackberry PlayBook a couple of weeks ago. This seems like a much more sensible option to go for!
rich_tech Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 I want one now, but I think my mrs would go bang if I told her, especially after just upgrading the ram on my main machine
plexer Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Sems it's £159 plus deliver from Google Play, hmmm where's my CC Ben
plexer Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Hmmm £159 + £9.99 delivery for the 8GB from Google or £199 inc free delivery for the 16GB from Ebuyer, which one should I buy? Ben

aerospacemango Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Refurbished iPad 2 with Wi-Fi 16GB - Black (2nd Gen.) - Apple Store (UK) eh-em Hmmmm...that's not got an SD card slot either! But it has been used by someone else! Bonus! So, for an extra £60, you can have someone elses' play thing..... Niiiice!
Arthur Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 which one should I buy? I bought mine from the Google Play store... For a limited time, includes £15 of credit to spend in the Play store, as well as some great free content like your own copy of Transformers: Dark of the Moon. The 16GB is also now available from eBuyer with free P&P but no credit. (Source)
plexer Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Or do I wait and let our sitemanager bring me back a US 16GB one which at the current exchange rate would be £159? Ben
Arthur Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Google also working on a 10 inch Nexus « Phandroid Btw, the Nexus 7 is a redesigned Asus Eee Pad MeMO ME370T apparently.
Arthur Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 USB flash drives aren't officially supported. MHL and USB-OTG on the Nexus 7 - Mounting USB Storage Not Supported Since posting the Nexus 7 mini review, I've gotten a lot of e-mails asking about whether USB-OTG for storage was currently supported or would be supported in the shipping software load. I've done some asking around and believe I have the final word now. USB-OTG is indeed supported on the Nexus 7, however as anyone has used USB-OTG knows, whether peripherals or devices work is a function of the host OS and drivers. On the Nexus 7, using a mouse and keyboard is supported, and I saw Google using an Ethernet to microUSB adapter with the Nexus 7 (which I borrowed for my Galaxy Nexus) as well. Unfortunately mounting USB storage natively is not supported on the Nexus 7. Hopefully rooted users will be able to use StickMount with the Nexus 7 and make this work. In addition, MHL is not supported on the Nexus 7, which isn't very surprising since adding MHL requires another package and would increase BOM cost. (Source)
Arthur Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Does anyone think app encryption will be an issue for schools buying multiple Jelly Bean tablets? Beginning with Jelly Bean, paid Google Play apps will be encrypted with a device-specific code before they are delivered. Encrypted apps are intended to protect developers by preventing piracy.

Arthur Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Looks quite good. Is there any plans to release a 3g version? Not sure, but the Nexus 10 might have it? You could always use your smartphone's 3G connection or get a MiFi. Personally I think I prefer the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 because it has an SD card + 3g for a little bit more money. Personally I would take Android 4.1, the better display and quad-core processor over an SD card slot.

Arthur Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 iFixIt have posted their tear-down of the Nexus 7... http://s16.postimage.org/sownl50tx/CCGDMPi1_HDej_Mmr_G.jpg
Arthur Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 This sucks... UK Google Nexus 7 tablets won't feature music, magazines or TV shows « The Inquirer
HaleStorm Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 This sucks... UK Google Nexus 7 tablets won't feature music, magazines or TV shows « The Inquirer What it means is they wont be available until you root it and flash the full build ROM from the Android developers site
plexer Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 hmm now do I replace my current phone with a Galaxy note like I was planning to and wait for the 10" Nexus tab or do I get a S3 and buy the Nexus 7 to use now? Or do I get the Note and the Nexus 7 Ben
Arthur Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Or do I get the Note and the Nexus 7 Galaxy Note II in August?
plexer Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Galaxy Note II in August? Well I can get the note on a £21 p/mcontract unlikely to get the Note II on the same. Ben
philwaud Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 hmm now do I replace my current phone with a Galaxy note like I was planning to and wait for the 10" Nexus tab or do I get a S3 and buy the Nexus 7 to use now? Or do I get the Note and the Nexus 7 Ben Ive used a kindle fire (rooted with a custom ROM) almost from day one. The 7" form factor is brilliant, fits in your (large) pocket and the development community is quite active. Thats why i jumped at the Nexus 7, Jelly bean looks fantastic, and I already have google music so I would imagine that TV etc wont be too much of an issue. Id go with an S3 and a Nexus 7. The S3 has a pokey processor and is a couple of steps on from the note, but thats just my opinion.
