if it does not support OTG and MHL to HDMI, i will hold my horse and wait for better configuration from Asus. Asus will definitely come out with an almost identical form factor tablet but with all the bell and whistle - microSD slot, OTG, MHL HDMI, 3G, etc. My budget for the Asus one will be around RM1,000-RM1,200 for WiFi only version... start dreaming and finger crossed.

N7 on latest hardware already how come dont have usb OTG and video out..

Yes Nexus 7 need OTG badly. Anybody doing pre order?

lastest hardware - YES, but nothing new on hardware except the new price point. I think the MHL HDMI has been squeeze out by the low price point. Since one of the review site has confirm it has no MHL HDMI, i will skip this for the time being.

Btw, I opened a new Google/Gmail account, put my country as Australia and made an oder for a 16GB Nexus 7. It'll be delivered to my sister who lives there. Supposed to ship mid-July, so most probably will get my hands on one early Aug. Still not sure whether she's coming back or I have to pay for the UPS delivery. Who knows, by then it might even be released here already, although I'd still opt for the Oz version cos of the Australian Play Store and AUD$25 rebate for Play Store purchases.

rumor said in August, 7" Asus Tablet. no spec leaked yet. will wait and see.
confirm skip N7.

Which is only your opinion

but its true that sony tablet s lose at many expect. especially software wise. tablet s lags like tab 10.1.

So its great to know from Anandtech that OTG is supported.

great info on the timeline, looking forward for an Asus 7" tab with more complete package. Would rather pay a bit more for a better "experience".

I doubt Asus will release their own version so soon, as the Nexus will eat its sales. Plus, I'm sure they have some sort of understanding with Google. Anyways, if it does come out, good for you. I personally won't buy any model that doesn't have a Nexus name on it.

Anyways, I got the order confirmation receipt. Stupid thing is; the receipt states it's going to be sent from Google Asia Pacific Singapore to my sister's address in Australia, and Singapore doesn't even have a launch date yet!! So basically my Nexus 7 is going from Singapore to Australia and then back to where I live in Singapore again. WTF!! O_o

its fast....except for the gpu

Found someone taking orders here: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...7206&hl=nexus+7

About RM100 more if you do the conversion.

My question is warranty. He's selling USgoogle device. Will warranty be honor by Asus Malaysia?

Not sure about Asus. HTC doesn't honour my Nexus One last time. No idea on Samsung's Nexus device too.

I don't think they would honor it.
Anyway,if anyone's interested in a bulk then please PM me,the price will be RM740 for the 8GB version.

yea
and confirmed get it
below 1k get quad core tablet, lol

just wait and see when Asus Malaysia bring it to Malaysia
else buy from others

how bout warranty?

Most probably won't be supported. Best case scenario will be that Asus Malaysia rep might contact US branch on your behalf and give you details on how to ship it to their US tech department, at your own cost obviously.
