how much is the 16gb model in us? don't you think the price in malaysia a bit expensive?

900 is not much but I'm not sure. Maybe I expect too much. For Malaysian maybe it's not expensive as we are accustomed to high price for other tablet. US citizen seeing this price might think it's expensive (if they can get it usd199).

Minusing usd25 for google play credit gives better price but the offer already ends.

It feels expensive as I may use this as a temporary thing. depending on tablet segment development.There maybe lots of development at this moment and near future.

What with the microsoft surface two flavor that has not been released yet. Which would probably be many time more expensive than nexus 900 but you may get a full fledged capable system.
