at those who don't know what I'm asking.

Saw a tablet modder swap out his Golf HU for a cheap 1-din HU with Bluetooth & AUX input, fabricated a custom housing for his tablet and mounted it in front of the 1-din HU covering it totally from view.

Pretty fast. Conversing with them regarding my purchase, they usually reply within 1-2 days. I got every reply the next day after I replied to them though.

That means any other older Android phone will suffer from worse battery drain... sigh, looks like there's no option of going for the WiFi model. Have to wait it out for the 3G.

Any Android phone with Froyo (2.1) and newer software can. Settings > Wireless & Networks > Tethering & portable hotspot

You can't be too sure - apparently the Nexus 7 uses the same Broadcom chip as a call-capable China brand tablet. People at XDA working on it..

You're not alone.

Not bad at all, SenQ's price. Just so you know, Newegg uses a conversion rate of 3.1, so it's as follows:

USD299 = RM926.90
Shipping = RM49
Total = RM975.90

Not too sure about the SIRIM charges though, since Newegg is registered as a company, are their imports taxed by SIRIM that way? I'd say the RM100 is the maximum they can charge us for SIRIM, if SIRIM does impose it on Newegg.

So the difference in price should be around RM23-100. Time to spam SenQ with my calls tomorrow

Just called my local branch. Have to confirm with their HQ because no stock yet. Kinda predicted this would be the case already.

No.

Hardware encoding is better, but taxing on battery consumption.

Nope no pictures even on the original product site. Take a wild guess - shouldn't be too different, check out the Mocran POSH for the iPad and I'm guessing it should be about the same.

They took it out because there are no stocks available yet. Called their shops, confirmed have to wait 1 to 2 weeks before the stock for both the 16GB WiFi and 32GB WiFi+3G models arrive.

Yup. Luckily there is a dealer in LYN who has already received stock from Asus M'sia. Gonna get mine soon when I'm free.

If they have stock, they ship it to you the next day. Expect it to arrive in 1-3 days.

If they don't have stock you have to wait till they ship from US. Expect 1-2 weeks.

Top and bottom no cover then the cover cover apa? I get it la, but anyway, IMHO you should've got the flip case. Full coverage + leather also? About the same also the price. I think I'm getting one of that.

Not at the moment. The Nexus 7 doesn't support MHL or HDMI out. As of now... maybe something might happen in the future, we don't know, but for now, no.

Hardware limitation, not software limitation.

h/w + codec uses the Tegra chip to do the coding & decoding, so it is definitely more powerful compared to original settings (I assume it would be software decoding)

Generally understood that hardware decoding > software decoding. Never said that it was a universal rule. Some apps are better with software decoding even when run on powerful hardware BUT those apps are few and hard to come by.

EDIT: The Tegra is very much superior compared to other devices which the current media player apps have been written on which gives it an added advantage. Quad core > dual core when it comes to situations like these.

Is it really that overrated? I haven't really used a Tegra 3 device before... what are you comparing it to, though?

Anyone knows how to access a camera with USB OTG? I shoot RAW files from my DSLR, and the Gallery function only detects JPG files. Tried searching for the camera's mounted directory through OI File Manager but can't find it.

Nexus 7 is largely unknown in Malaysia for now. Went to a big accessories stall yesterday, seeing their large display of iPhone/iPad/Galaxy Tab cases, I decided to ask if they carried any Nexus 7 merchandise.

The response I got? 'Nexus 7? What is that? Dunno wor, sorry we don't sell anything for that.'

It's happened to a few people, but can't say that it is common yet.

Speaking of which, anyone have any idea how to do this on the stock Nexus 7 ROM without having to root, flash etc? I'm quite happy with stock Jelly Bean, too lazy to flash a custom ROM onto it.

Mine has been great. Using it till it dies before charging, no problem with the shutting down issue.
