Yes !!! Got my $25 credit as well Now to go shopping

The biggest thing going for the Nexus 7 is the ability for it to have access to Music/Movie/Magazine overseas making it an ideal device for consumption. These features are definitely not available in Malaysia and unless you're using a VPN you won't have access to it as well. Other than that it's still a solid device for the price and if Asus Malaysia can keep it below RM 1k for the 16GB version and not get greedy, I'm pretty sure it will sell like hot cakes considering there's nothing for that price range with that hardware specs/features. We can just wait and see what Asus Malaysia's official stand on it.

I've tried playing a 4-5GB HD movie on my 2.5" HDD via USB OTG and Dice player. No problem whatsoever

Sorry I was mistaken. It wasn't an mkv file that I loaded duhhh tried a 720p mkv file with dice player and no go. Tried with mobo player and it plays but without audio. Hope the developers find a fix soon.

mx player works with most of the mkv i have but there are still few that plays without audio which works perfectly fine on my windows pc. Will just have to wait till the software gets updated I guess.

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.

nexus toolkit is the best way for windows but at the same time doesn't help mac/linux users

Do you have problems downloading stuff from Google play with 175 DPI ??

1. Boot loader is locked by default and without unlocking the boot loader you can't write/flash the device. Think of it as write protecting your SD card where you can only read data. Unlocking it allows you to add/modify data

2. Clock word recovery is a tool you boot into during startup of the tablet to do stuff like wipe data/cache, install new ROM/kernel etc

3. Root access is giving the android system admin rights to write to the system partition. Very much like an admin user in windows as opposed to a guest user with limited accessibility

Hope this helps

right ... might give it a go and see. Been using 160 dpi and at times find it a lil small and setting font to large just looks funny

Added on August 2, 2012, 9:18 am= yeah had the same problem too with storage but I've learned to live within the limits and put stuff I don't need urgently on a thumbdrive to be accessed via OTG. After using the Tab 7.0+ and Tab 7.7 this is definitely a great change. I'm pretty sure you would love it !!

I use mango anime reader and depending on the titles you read, it's more than enough.

Dead trigger is free if you love fps

Try thumb keyboard .. its really awesome

i tried it as soon as I reset my device and used superfreevpn to connect to Play store. Also make sure all your location services are turned off. Works on mine using my only google account.

yup the credit appears on my phone that's using the same google account as well and no you don't need to do another reset and can continue the setup. I only used my credits few days later and I still have usd 20+ available

nope vpn is only for first time setup to get the $25 credit , after that use google play like normal without vpn

yup i'm using a public bank visa debit card which was already linked to google play. Just key it in again and make sure to set country as US with a postcode and phone number. Just make sure its a valid postcode

Most welcome. Glad you got the credit as well. First thing I bought was Asphalt 7 lol

I had to try more than 10 times to get it to work with superfreevpn. Didn't bother trying with anything else. Do let me know if you find any and I'll add it to the guide

Congrats. Now to figure out how to spend the $25 The first thing I did after getting my credit was to root my device and change to Tablet UI and then installed Stickmount so can access USB OTG
