so google announce their new tablet.

everything sounds too good to be true and the price is insane

but the big problem is the memory.
just 8GB/16GB variant with no sd card slot?

what???

for galaxy tab, advertise as 16GB, but really just got 13.11GB
for galaxy S2, advertise as 16GB, but really just got 11.5GB

so this nexus 7, 8GB, whats the real user available capacity?
6GB?

so i'm suppose to have 2GB for clockworkmod backup
1GB for apps
1GB for songs
1GB for Pics
1GB for videos?
that's it????

how am i goin to watch movies?
or keep pics? just install 1 HD game already no space already.

this storage limit is just ridiculous.

use the cloud? ya right, with malaysia's upload and download speed,
sigh...my tablet dream crushed....

look in garage sales, got a user taking preorder. he estimate will sell at 900 for the 16GB model.

actually its really pointless to buy the 8GB model, maybe that one user available memory just 3-4GB only.

the 16GB one hopefully is 12-13GB, obviously not enough but still usable. cant complain at this price range.

counting the days till this arrive.

I pre ordered mine from vicgray
Already made deposit then only saw 88sales thread

U pay full amount to him upfront?
You in the first batch?

Mine maybe will get later. Cos far in the waiting list:-\

for those who pre order already, better bring a blade or knife with you when going for COD.
*seriously

this guy selling, but strange, didn't you already comment there?

i think you can just buy galaxy tab 7 screen protector, same screen size anyway

88sales88 preordered thread updated.

haha, thought of this on the first day i made pre order.

i went to check the dimensions of all samsung 7inch tabs.

turned out that the first tab7.
tab2 7inch
tab 7+
and tab7.7

all also different dimention, the width, thickness, and length all different,
unique for each model, although the screen size is the same, but the physical size of the tablet body is different

nexus7 dont match with any of them at all.

i think they purposely do this, so that they can sell more cases.

mine not yet arrive.....the wait is killing me....

by the way i read that nexus 7 does support usb pendrives.
just root it, and install stick mount.

problem solved. yeah!

there is a nexus 7 section in XDA,
there is a simple way to get the tablet UI on it.

i definitely plan to do so when i get mine.
will root it the moment i get it...

arh...i hate waiting...

will root it asap when i get mine.

why so long....
i wan it like NOW....

by the way, you still observe that thread after you get yours? lol...

how much you bought from ebay?
how long it deliver to malaysia?

preorder from a guy called 88sales88
search in garage sales, keyword "nexus 7"

yup, he email say will reach maybe today.
yeah yeah.

by the way, the official cover,
i've look at the review on youtube,
its just a cheap silicon casing, that doesn have function to make the tab stand.

even the reviewer says its an overpriced case. buying just for the brand.

able to fold and make it stand?

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.

"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
dont take my word too seriously.

buy la, more user then this thread become more fun
i'll be getting mine some time this week.
