jackdon.

Price is confirmed at RM999 for 16GB version,

"PRE-PURCHASE @ ASUS Nexus 7 (16GB-WiFi) = RM999

- PRE-PURCHASE: 12th Sept - 20th Sept
- Stock available on / after 21st Sept 2012
- First batch of stock only available for customers who made their PRE-PURCHASE at Mid Valley Asus Shop"

Sorry if this is off-topic but I was wondering :
Asus gonna bring in Nexus7 into Malaysia tomorrow,
Is there the possibility that Google might open up Google books, movies, magazine, etc.. as well?
You know, without having to use VPN and stuff.

Do you guys think this is a possibility?

price info from my boss (retailer), local unit will arrived tomorrow ship from local distributor.

at least thats what google is saying. same strategy as kindle fire
but i suspect the actual cost price may be lower then selling price, and google is exaggerating.

but to be fair, look at other tegra3 android tablet out there.
they are much more expensive ASUS's transformer series are close to 2k.

i think acer has a tegra3 10 inch tablet that is very cheap, quite a good buy.
but doubt it will ever taste jellybean.
even if it do, nexus7 already on the next android version.

no need to go there, i pre-ordered month ago, they only promise to get me a unit in middle of Oct.

Oic :-)if the spec / feature are same,  everything should be nothing different lo

since we're discussing the rm999 price tag... i'll chip in my view...

in the end, rm999... its up to the individual to see whether it is worth it or not. some ppl pay rm1mil for a car... some ppl think it's stupid yet others think the rm1mil is worth it.

asus already made some money when they 'sold' the N7 to Google. as for shipping cost, etc... N7 probably made in TW or maybe CN... shipping it to US will cost more or shipping to MY?!?

retail shops in US also sells N7... that means even at the USD249, Asus made money. Google made (a bit) of money... Retailers made some money...

to google... whether people buy from Play store or not... their core business is still ads. ppl dun buy apps but as long as they surf the internet, download FREE apps that uses ads, Google already made some extra money...

so, in regards to rm999 price... i think Asus MY is just milking the most of of N7... they know the demand is there... they might as well make the most out of it...

update1: i'm still evaluating my options... SenQ's offer seems attractive -- 2yrs warranty. i guess it's a member's only thing and i need to topup about rm30 to be member... warranty might be a good idea considering so many complaints abt defects... i'm still waiting for AP sets to drop in prices.

but my Q about AP set is... when does their warranty start? dowan to go buy AP set just to find out warranty started 2 months back... (the day dealer bought the set from US)

I believe the rm12 is for annual fee. Not a lifetime.

where to get the list of sales apps?
they on sale just one day then become normal price?
or remain on sale through out the 5 days?

Any1 recently bought apps from google play using debit card?
i bought an app yesterday and it has yet shown transactions on my debit card.

PS: im using RHB debit card.
