dont think it will ever be sold here. just like the kindle fire.
wont be sold here officially.

thats because amazon and google dont make money for selling
n7 and fire.

they earn when consumer buy things from play store or amazon.

since amazon is only for US. and play store not completely open here.
so why would google waste their money?

get what i mean?
no?

try go to this website and you get what i mean.
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details

another fact is, even google maps not supported in malaysia,
the offline caching thing.

i thought i read somewhere saying that Asus Malaysia did say they will bring the N7 in. but when they are still unsure.

btw, i did a drop "test" when my n7 was plugged to the usb ... and the result... my usb's plug is now loose.... -.-. nth happen to the tablet though... sweat.gif

"rumours"

but i very confirm read in numerous sources that google indeed dont make money by selling the tablet.
they get profit from play store.

logically do you think they will sell to country that dont have play store yet?
not just play store apps, i mean play store movie, books, songs.

i'm confident they wont sell it here, thats why i buy from garage sales.
if you want to wait, i guess you'll wait indefinitely.

of course i could be wrong, all the above are just my own deduction  blush.gif
dont take my word too seriously.
*
true. they(Google) are only making a few dollars for each set sold.
haha, i didn't wait... i bought mine from garage sales too. wink.gif

and oh, just saw the leaked photos of the docking station... 50USD... costs 1/4 of the tablet itself... pfft

Just check the official TPU casing.. Looks like normal casing and the cover can't lock to the casing..sweat.gif

Any recommendation for casing that can be used as stand + have magnetic cover  tongue.gif ?

Tq..

And also good SP for this tablet...

did it in less than 5 mins after installing the necessary files. Am currently doing a guide for it. Almost the same steps as rooting a Galaxy Nexus. Of course this isn't my first Android device or rooting for that matter.

will be waiting for your guide. first time android user here...

btw, why do we unlock the bootloader before rooting?

Part 1: Unlocking Bootloader
Part 2: “Making ClockworkMod Recovery Permanent”
Part 3: Gaining Root Access

got these excerpts from redmondpie.. what does every part here means? part 3.. means it's rooted already?

you have the nexus?

go donwload the nexus rooting toolkit from xda.
its really simple. the whole process about 10 minutes only.

i stuck very long at the driver installation part.
maybe cos i'm using win7 64bit

everything is automated, no need worry, really fool proof.

Both I would say. IPmart called to say that they might not be able to deliver the item today because of traffic jam. I'm sorry but that's not a valid reason.
Anyway, I've gotten the device. Now I'm figuring out what I can do with it. :-)

Requested a refund from Google play because I can't seem to be able to download modern combat 3. But the credit never got back into my account. What's their policy anyway?

That's right. My problem with Gameloft is that the download didn't even start. Zzz
But I kind of liked the modern combat on the iPad. Sigh
