Got my Nexus 7 off a friend yesterday, on discount because the accelerometer cacat. Tried Sky Maps on it and yes, very jerky.

But it's not something that bothers me. Lovely device, really light and portable.

good to hear about the decision in improving dual core instead of increasing the cores.

QUOTE
If we go after DMIPS/Mhz, which might not be the best representation of performance,  then Cortex A9 has 2.5 DMIPS/Mhz, while Cortex A15 has 3.5 DMIPS/Mhz, and some manufacturers are even promising 4.0 DMIPS/Mhz. So, the performance per clock compared to Cortex A9 should be 40%-60% higher, all things being equal. This is a huge improvement in efficiency.


QUOTE
if a dual core 2 GHz Cortex A15 is 2X faster than a dual core 1.5 GHz  Cortex A9, we can still assume around 30% faster performance than today’s quad core processors for multi-threaded apps, even though it’s a dual core processor.

im in love with dual core krait but not available for gsm version.

nod.gif Krait is seriously a performer. Heat dissipation is also good in krait chipsets. Youtube for Butter Benchmark. Damn awesome to see that. It wins Exynos Quad and Tegra 3 in quite few aspects.

hopefully it rolls out soon here.i just wna get a goddamn tablet lol.dnt mind the 8gb though.got memory card slot?

Google never wanted a memory card slot to mess thing up. No memory card slot in all nexus-es

so many sources flying around  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif

my take on this is, they wont bring this in until they "open up" the entire play store in malaysia.

laugh.gif They will bring in. Else how do you get Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus locally?

But Nexus 7 is a different case as the manufacturer is ASUS.
Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus is from Samsung.
Hopefully ASUS Malaysia will release it soon but not sure whether the is Google doing all the sale instead of ASUS.

Confirm will be Asus doing the sales. Google no HQ in malaysia. And I believe they won't open up Play Store for Malaysia that soon.

Whoa!! accelerometer seems like a big issue to me? O_O

Now I need to add that to my checklist of stuff to check when my Nex7 arrives tomorrow evening;

1. Screen lifting
2. Light leaking
3. Loose micro-USB
4. Dead pixels
5. Flickering under auto-dim mode
6. The thing just dying after first charge.
7. Defective accelerometer.

Anything else?

So... Even if there's problem in your unit, what will you do? Most of the seller in Lowyat only provide a preorder, almost a charity bulk kind of thing. I don't think they provide warranty laugh.gif

Tell me if you get 16GB for 700. It's 250USD which converts to RM795. Do share if you get one at 700 icon_idea.gif

Err, dude. I have one and paid RM700 for it because it's supposedly defective. Tested it and yeah, the accelerometer is jittery but it's not a dealbreaker for me.

Gamer might complain though LOL.

I ordered mine via the Australian Play store, and it shipped to my home in Aus a couple of days ago. A friend is currently over there, so I got her to bring it back when she returns tomorrow evening.

Australian orders are shipped from Google Southeast Asia HQ Singapore, according to the invoice/receipt. I actually live in SG, and the Google office address is around 10 - 15 minute drive from my apartment. If I find a problem, I'm gonna drive straight there and yell at them.... in Hokkien (cos it sounds nastier than English)!!

Wow. That's awesome! Since it's faulty, sell me at 650 brows.gif brows.gif Accelerometer I take to fix at Asus. Not a hard thing to be fixed anyway. Nexus 7 has a pretty high 'repairability' score by ifixit. Maybe the cost is just few bucks for Asus. Then charge us labour max 100? nod.gif You sure untung.
