I think the iPod Touch and the iPad Mini will have different markets to cater for. The Touch is much more portable comparatively and has Retina Display. But if you think in terms of value for money in that you are getting a bigger display (but no Retina) for almost the same price or slightly more expensive, then it's a different story. All depends. Like my niece (teenager), I don't think she would want to lug around a 7.9 inch tablet when she is out with friends or shopping. Or if you are the type who likes to strap on something small for music while jogging or exercising at the gym... how to strap on a Mini! Of course, ideally, I am sure people wouldn't mind having BOTH the Touch and the Mini! LOL!

But yeah, current iPad 3 owners really must be feeling "tulan" right now. Their only comfort would be at least all of the docking accessories out there still works with their iPad 3 without any bulky adapter!

+1 Luckily I sold my iPad 3 before the announcement, and jump shipped to N7 rclxms.gif

But I also feel abit "tulan" in N7 case, coz when I ordered my N7 previously, rumors pop out that N7 will have 32GB at the same price as 16GB vmad.gif And it seems to be real now cry.gif

Planning to sell off my iPad 3 for this 7 inch beauty.

Is the screen reso good enough? (comparable to iPad 2nd gen?)

Retina display is good, but it's so heavy and big that I only use it when I'm bored and can't bring it around too much.

Yes and I still am not moved. You asked for feedback and I gave you mine. You don't have to take mine as an absolute. If someone can't live without the convenience of a rear camera, by all means there's other alternatives. However that convenient camera that you may or may not use, is one of the reasons why N7 is way cheaper than other tablets while still sporting high scores on practical operation benchmark.

I know it's awesome to have a device that can do everything you want to. But lets be realistic and ask yourself what do you really want to do with a tablet on a daily basis?

The following is a couple of appsI use regularly.
- Web browsing
- Pinterest
- Pulse
- Flipboard ( this really looks awesome on N7 )
- Mantano Reader ( compared to alkido this is better )
- Mango
- Manga Watcher
- Moboplayer/MX Player combo ES Explorer ( watch movies/anime/TV )
- fPSe + USB gamepad ( PSX games )
- GBA.EMU
- Gaming cheat apps ( need root )
- Sygic GPS
- Evernote
- Polaris

N7 is an awesome device as it is and the above fills in every requirement I needed in a tablet. As I said earlier the only nagging issue is the lack of space, which I've solved with a fileserver. Basically my big files is to watch movies while I shit. So yeah

+1 Gotta agree Flipboard looks really good on N7! wub.gif

I tried to connect to a LEAP WIFI using an app on my Nexus 7, but it failed to connect. However, same app in Galaxy Nexus seems working just fine.

Wonder what causes such issue?? cry.gif

Surprisingly, newegg just send email saying that they shipped my 32gb nexus 7. They gave me a tracking number but did not mentioned which delivery company they were using. So, anybody who got their item from newegg by delivery, what company that they used?

Wow, today I was very busy and did not use my tablet at all.
When I checked, still 100% battery. Amazing, it must've have a very nice nap, talk about deep sleep. Wifi Skype and sync was on the whole time.

i easily got that same amount of result too so its kinda average of standby performance we all should get. Wifi on, GPS on, sync all are on. biggrin.gif

Really? If it stays idle for one day, and battery drops to 92% with WIFI off, normal or not?

Ok la i guess. I got 95 left. But then again its standby bro, dont mind too much. I prefer to have better life when using it. Used to get 5 hours 45 min screen on time on first discharge. Quite happy with this device's battery.

Haha, just wanna make sure it is normal coz my Gnex drains battery like drinking water! Hope it doesnt happen to my N7 la.. Perhaps my previous ipad 3 gave me too awesome battery life sweat.gif
