Anyone else planning on getting a nexus 7 tablet?

Quad core processor, nvidia graphics, beautiful HD screen all for $200?
Looks neato, I might buy into it, I'll wait a while though, since i don't really need a tablet.
Got my nexus today and its awesome!
Beautiful screen and twice as fast as my touch pad!
I heard that one of those bad boys costs $160 to construct
I don't think they are making much on them. I got the 16gig So it was 250.
I used my touchpad a lot to browse, email and watch videos. This thing is better at all of those functions. Jellybean is awesome compared to ice cream sandwich. Very smooth. Gonna try some games soon, mostly been watching videos.
My HTC Thunderbolt is still running GB
Yeah that's the bad thing about Android. I like that this is a nexus which means I'll get all new updates. My next phone may be a nexus, I have 4s right now, going to wait and see what iPhone 5 is like.
My next phone will definitely be a Google phone. I'm waiting for a stable CM9 rom for my phone, but HTC is seemingly unloved in this regard.
Jellybean seems cool so far.
I think anyone who plays games will love the nexus 7. Sony and Nintendo should be worried. I downloaded tegra 3 version of a game called Shadowgun and the graphics are stunning. Beats 3ds and close or better than vita. Game was only 5 bucks. Crazy.
Found a game called dead trigger. 99 cents and it looks like left for dead. Crazy graphics.
I went to buy my Nexus 7 today, this struck me as a bit unfair.
Edit: I wound up buying it from Staples. $15 off and free shipping.
Question for those Nexus 7 owners please.
I am considering the purchase of a 32GB model, it is my understanding that the OS version that is shiped with here in Australia is Jelly Bean 4.1 and not 4.2.
I am further advised that "Gesture" the new keyboard app may only ship with 4.2
Is this correct?
I am getting conflicting info from the Google Play site here in Aus.
I believe the new keyboard is 4.2 only, but your tablet should update to 4.2 upon setting it up and checking for updates.
Many thanks Winapp2.ini for your answer, makes my decission to purchase now much easier, however I will check just prior handing over the $$
There are times when I hate buying technologhy. After reading the following anouncement I think I'll wait for the release of Android Ver 5.0 Key Lime Pie
Google will soon unveil the newest Android operating system known as the “Key Lime Pie”. It will be the 5.0 operating system of the Android. When it comes out it will first be upgraded to the Nexus 7 and the newest Google smartphone the Nexus 4. The Galaxy S3 is not certain if it will see an upgrade of the new Key Lime Pie OS. The release date of the newest Android operating system will be in May right after Google launches its I/O Developer conference. The first phone to receive the polished Android Key Lime Pie OS will be the Nexus 5 which will also be revealed on the same I/O Developer conference. Android Key Lime Pie release date is rumored to be June 6.
There is also rumblings that the Nexus 7 will also recieve some hardware changes
It did post-release. They fixed a screen problem (banding on the display or something)
Well Winapp2.ini it's been almost 11 months since I commenced my "watch & wait" for the 2nd Gen Nexus 7 tablet, indeed July last year saw it's introduction.
However it has taken me till yesterday to finally take the plunge, I am now the owner of a 2nd Gen Nexus 7 complete with KitKat Ver 4.4. Well it came with 4.1 and was automatically upgraded, so now I am having some fun setting it up with my necessary apps.
So far so good it's nice and fast, sound is good for a box so small and the screen resolution is excellent. The only issue I'm having at present is using my Motorola MB526 Hotspot with the Nexus 7, meanwhile it's back to my normal ISP
PS: I have also just ordered a Qi wireless charger
I've been toying with the idea of getting a 2013 n7 but haven't commited yet! Still waiting to see if there's a new nexus 10 or something, but if I can pick up a 13 n7 cheaply I totally will
It's my understanding that a Nexus 10 will be released within the next 5 to 6 months (rumor only).
By the way my unit cost me $339.00 Australian, purchased locally and I have now ordered locally a Bluetooth wireless combination keyboard/case for my Nexus cost $37.90, see attached images.
Forgot to say 32GB model - no 4G. For me it's to big for a phone
I'm curious as to the fate of a new nexus 10. The first one didn't have a super huge community (compared to other nexus devices)
