i bought tru ebay from hong kong. should be arrived by someday next week, with a stylus and 1 soft pouch and a notepad style cover.

^ Same as any other Android device? Hold Vol-Down + Power/Standby button for a second.

My overall impressions after 2 days;

I'm actually enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would. Granted, this is my first Android tablet, so I can't exactly compare it to other Google slates. I did play with my sister's iPad 2 some months ago, and while the bigger screen is obviously more useful for certain applications, I think I prefer the 7" form factor much better. It's much more easier for one handed operation and much more comfy for browsing and typing compared to my Galaxy Nexus and iPhone 4, or even my colleague’s Galaxy Note.

I do sometimes wish it was lighter, but then I suppose they'd have to use cheaper materials which would make it lose its premium feel, or use materials like titanium or carbon fiber which would make it cost as much as a superbike.

The battery life has been pretty decent (for a tablet) overall. I haven't really run it through a gaming or video torture test yet, but it's been great for browsing and emailing. Could easily last 2 days with my regular use. The standby/idle battery drain in particular has been excellent - better than my phone, in fact. It only went down 2% after 7 hours, and that was including an auto update for some Google apps while I was asleep. I just hope the battery drain remains consistent. The main problem with cheap Android devices (or even some expensive ones) for me has always been battery life drastically deteriorating ofter a couple of months (HTC are famous for this) of ownership.

Also, this is the first Android device I haven't felt like rooting. There's just no need right now. When I got my Galaxy Nexus, I rooted it after a week, but I think I'll keep this on stock AOSP for a while, or at least until there's some ROM with a super feature that I want.

Rant:
I wish Google would give us a way to sort our app list. It's a pain seeing every single app you ever installed (even those deleted ones) under the "All Apps" section of the Play Store.
Question:
Any of you expert modders know a way of getting rid of the Application Launcher dock at teh bottom? I just don't like having a list of apps sitting on top of the navigation panel (design 101 fail). Would much rather have a small bar/dock along the right vertical side, with black background to match the top and bottom panels. I know some launchers can do this, but the Nexus 7 is so new so I'm not sure if any of them work properly yet. Apex Launcher worked fine on my Galaxy Nexus with ICS, but since upgrading to JB AOSP, I'm keeping it at stock for now. All other launchers would feel like adding another extra layer of bloat. Plus, I'm trying to limit myself to using Holo themed apps as much as possible on my Nexus 7. =P

The ipmart customer service just called to confirm delivery tomorrow and payment via COD tomorrow

They will honor the price at point of purchase I.e. $1099 + $6.60 COD charges

They will also honor the full  one year warranty that was earlier listed on their website and my invoice.

Btw, I booked it last night at 11pm.  So far, ipmart is looking a reliable and trustworthy vendor

Looks like they hv raised the price to 1179 and as another forumer has noted, warranty is 1 month provided by ipmart

Gosh, enough wit the screen comparison already.
Amoled pown LCD. Period.

But among LCD, I don't think nexus 7 is the worst.
I put it side by side with my gf ipad2, tested the game cut the rope, and it looks pretty much the same in terms of contrast.

Anyway its just ,my opinion.

For a person who spend majority time using amoled screen, the LCD will look terrible. That's how I feel during the first few days with my nexus 7.
S2 = normal
N7= terrible

But nowadays I use my tablet more than my phone,
Start to feel that
N7= normal
S2= super vibrant & nice

One thing for sure though,
Nexus 7 is the BEST android device yet.
Fast fluid and amazing. Equally smooth compared to iPad.
One thing that I've been jealous of my gf.
My previous tab10.1 looks like a joke next to iPad, so lag even with ics.

This is a shot of my Nexus 7 on CNA 3.2 rom. I have set 5 soft keys on the navibar
Also to show the display colors - it is not entirely good as far as i am concerned. Maybe my standards on the display is too high as i always tend to compare it with tab 7.7. I know it is not fair to compare but inevitable as so used to SuperAmoled display. Anyway after few days using it , I am already used to the display colors

You need to use a US VPN instead of connecting it the usual way.

Vpn do a search in this thread. So many posts describing how to use it n external links

Factory reset will not remove root. All your installed apps will be gone

tried that and its not a good app.

it will force EVERYTHING to rotate according to the orientation.
including things thats not suppose to be in portrait mode.

such as movies, youtube playback.

and wost of all, games. some games you play in landscape,
if you suddenly turn it to portrait, it rotates and all the controls gets messed up.
even after you rotate back to landscape mode. frustrating. and it leaves an icon at the notification bar which is ugly.

for homescreen rotation, use apex or nova launcher.
