you sure it can support USB OTG?  It is a deal breaker to me if it does not come with a microSD card slot.  They make it for "content consumption" but why limit us to only "consume" online content. 

most likely will get one for my kids.  But will see whether Asus will launch a better specs 7" tab with rear camera and microSD card before October. 

some review stated the device comes with GPS, some not.
anybody can clarify this? as far as i know, accelerometer, gyro and compass is confirmed.

navigate yourself. that's why i said 'manually'.
you dont need a GPS to help you always.
read your map. read the road signs. take a look at the landmark.
you'll find your way home.

well, it's not wrong if i want to read a map while enjoying a movie, right? or perhaps surfing the web.
get creative. the device itself is a multipurpose item. so, why not?

yep, you are right. i'm just asking coz the price is too good in current market.

The Nexus 7: Google just brought a knife to a gunfight
http://www.bgr.com/2012/06/27/nexus-7-ipad...s-apple-google/]

Yes, Google’s margin is likely so thin that it will barely make any money at all selling its tablets at this price, and other vendors may find it impossible to cut prices this much and remain profitable — adding their own apps, services and other value-adds costs money that simply won’t be recovered at margins this thin. So why is Google launching the Nexus 7 if it likely won’t make any real money on sales?

For Google, this is a land grab.

Google is an advertising company first and foremost. Its products and services exist, at least in large part, to serve its clients’ ads to users. This is how Google makes the bulk of its money. Just like Facebook — which Google is so desperately trying to emulate with Google+ — the more users Google reels in, the more money it makes.

The company loves to tout daily Android device activation numbers because at its core, it is an advertiser’s metric. This is the audience. Google confirmed on Wednesday that it now activates a staggering 1 million Android devices each day. 1 million! That number is positively remarkable. And the craziest part? It’s still growing.

Google is trying to spread things out a bit with the Nexus 7, adding a Kindle Fire-like model that makes the company’s various content services a central focus of the device. However successful or unsuccessful these efforts may end up being, they will always play second fiddle to Google’s core money-maker, which is advertising. This is Google’s mission.

Is Apple’s mission any more noble? Of course not.

Apple is a business — a ridiculously successful business — and its goal is to make products for as little as possible and sell them for as much as possible. Try as it might, Apple doesn’t make a significant portion of its revenue by selling ads, so the company has to make money the old fashioned way. Like other product vendors, it does this by taking advantage of cheap labor costs in China and Brazil, and then selling its wares at enormous markups. It also offers an expansive range of content through iTunes, which Google is now doing its best to match with Google Play.

yea haha
same here
wonder what the price it release in Malaysia
don't know when ASUS bring it to Malaysia

if just sell from google play, we don't know when can buy it
furthermore, normally is asus bring it to Malaysia
just like previously galaxy nexus bring over from samsung @@

trust me it wont happen.. 1malaysia tab is more likely for that..

they will certainly come out with another better version, just to slice up the tablet market

Augmented reality can be achieved just by using GPS and accelerometer/gyroscope. Try Google SkyMap and you'll know what I mean.

With regards to barcodes, this might be a hint as to what medium Google wants to focus when it comes to passive info transfer, i.e. they want to pursue NFC rather than QR.

My 2 cents.

what is main function of the nexus q?? how can it possible the accessories is more expensive than the tab 

Does anybody has the link to the pre-order? I keep getting the  message "Sorry! Devices on Google Play is not available in your country yet."  when I try to enter Google Play website.

sorry, i'm not really into technology stuff, so not so sure what r u talking about. How do I access via a proxy located in US?

lol.. ya, i wish the camera there.. it has been useful to me.. and one of the Google features is the Goggles, in which u snap picture of something, then google search will find infos based on the pictures.. so this features is hindered then.. i use that features especially when travel oversea, to find building names, area and etc..

oh, it is designed to be an eBook reader? what a powerful ebook reader it is. quad core CPU, 12-core GPU.. the raw power is more capable to do many things.

S-pen is something patented by Samsung. How can Asus be using it 

Anyway... S-pen is not normal Stylus. Even though its 'ballhead' looks just like a plastic but it always make me wonders how the phone detect the touch. Also how the buttons on S-pen interact with the phone.  Let me dream on this maybe I can understand how it worked 

No receipt given during COD. Already contacted 88sales & he will forward the receipt to me soon.

can we buy nexus 7 from us and ship to malaysia?
199usd about RM770 @@
