Those apps Play Books, Play Movies, Play Magazines, and Wallet are 'hidden' because they are not available for us, and most probably you are on stock ROM.

Use custom ROM and they will stay.

Just received update notification. Camera ICS is fully supporting us now

is nexus 7 worth getting? what's the market price now?

after using it for few days and previously owned 10" & 8.9" tablet... I prefer Nexus 7 due to mobility.

so for me its worth it with the price...

For its price RM 950-980 for the 16 GB , it is worth it
Only major limitation is lack of external storage but easily overcome by rooting and installed stickmount app and you can easily access 3rd party UASB storgae devices such as SD cards, thumb drives and even some USB HD drives ( but not all users has such success)

Darn! I am so undecided whether to get this or Samsung Tab 7.7.
7.7: Awesome screen + HW, external SD
Nexus: Cheaper, more ROMS

Read that it's coming to Malaysia. Any idea on the dates?

I did a comparison review between these 2 tablets at my BLOG

Take this with a grain of salt.
I've heard Asus distributors will have Nexus 7 stock arriving next week.
I'm not sure if they are official Asus Malaysia Nexus 7s.
The retail price I heard was RM999.

Again this information isn't concrete. Take it as just a rumor.

There is no other 7 inch tab that better than nexus currently .
Ppl are considering other phone rather than galaxy nexus because there is better spec phone .
Not for nexus 7 case , the only quad core 7 tab in market .

Uncle Benny, I read your review. During your review, the price difference was ~RM900. But now, the price of 7.7 has dropped to ~1.5K. So the difference is only ~RM500. So would your verdict still stands?

I'd say for just RM 500 difference , get the Tab 7.7 as :

- it has external sdcard storage
- it has 3G capability
- it has a way much better resolution
- Jellybean will come, probably in another 2-3 months. Temporary can always install CM 10 ( JB ROMS EQUIVALENT) . These roms though lack project butter input does NOT lose out much to original jb roms in the Nexus7. If you want a real N7 experience try the Nexus77 rom

Didn't know the Tab 7.7 price already drop to RM 1.5 K ??? Sure - AP set ?? Last week at Lowyat I still see sets selling at RM 1.8K

Uncle Benny, you sure you won't get flamed for introducing non Nexus tab in this thread?

7.7 is offered at 1.5K plus/minus for SME set in Garage Sales. I am going to Lowyatt today to find out the pricing.

Damn, I am still so undecided since we can't move apps into SD card in all Android tablets. So that kinda cancelled the effect of having external SD since we can do cloud storage.

When I pop into XDA forum on this tablet, wow....it is so lively! Imagine all the ROMS and apps I can play with.

Well, you ask for my opinion and that is my honest opinion

By the way anyone using the A.I. keyboard - I must say is the best keyboard i have ever used. It is very smooth and does not have any slight lag unlike the stock and others i have used. However i discovered a bug - when i used it to post stuffs in the browser ( stock, Chrome, boat ) - it force closes occasionally. At first i thought it is the CNA rom issue - so i clear its data and same issue recur. I restored back the stock rom, also similar issue on the browser. I replaced it back with my next favorite Smart Keyboard Pro and this problem never recur

Huh? already got Nexus 7s??

I was pluralising them Nexuses.

Still if the official release is really at the end of this month; not sure if should hold back a bit more since there are rumors of a 3G version of Nexus 7.

More questions then comes to mind. Would there be further revisions? Maybe with 32gb storage?.

Added on September 13, 2012, 1:06 pmI just use for 3 days already fall in love. A lot of my friend complain the size (7") and wifi only, but if love small size (hold in a hand but bigger than hp), then you will fine with it.

I use to view document, slide, view video recording and music. So internet connection is not major option as everywhere got wifi. If dont have, use hp to tether. If you got laptop, just configure ICS.

I post about configure ICS in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 here:- http://www.ms4u.info/2012/08/enable-intern...sharing-in.html

How about storage? 16GB is small or no micro sd. well, i use USB to go to connect 1TB external HDD.

If you love cloud, u can get skydrive (mine 25GB), dropbox (5GB) and google drive (5GB).

So, as the conclusion "I Love My Nexus 7"....

How to use 3G USB modem on Nexus 7?
http://www.jayceooi.com/2012/09/13/how-to-...dem-on-nexus-7/

I still have the movie, book & magazine. Only books keep shown as not supported in your country although using vpn.

I don't mind on wifi only... since I just tethering to my phone, can use the internet already... no need to get 2nd data plan...

where you guys buy nexus 7 from? you using 8 or 16 gb?

Will it work on 4G? I'm using Yes Mobile. I will try later
