Faster release haha. Now dilemma in choosing between nexus or fonepad

fonepad can never match the specs of the new nexus 7. You are comparing between a 2000cc car and a 1200 cc car
if Google carries on the same type of pricing strategy, it is a no brainer - the New Nexus 7 is definitely a better buy even if it costs up to RM200 more ( only disadvantage is probably you cannot make calls on it)

Darn, I hope its Tegra 5 instead of Snapdragon
Hopefully they will announce Nexus 8 too!

what so special about Tegra 5? I dun really care it is Nvidia, Samsung or Qualcomm cpu as long as it is fast.

If Newegg Malaysia can bring it in with good price like the Nexus 7 32GB, will consider getting one for myself and pass the Nexus 7 32GB to my son, now we are sharing it.

Nolah, nothing special. Just that currently there is no supplier using Tegra 5

estimate price in bolehland??

I think you meant Tegra 4...?

Should be similar

Come come. Don't let us wait for long.

8hours more for google i/o

tonight 11pm malaysia time? Did Google I/O normally has live telecast via Youtube or other web site?

hmm.. if it's using S4, maybe we can expect LTE connection in the revised version like first gen Nexus 7 gets H+. Hope to have 32GB or even 64GB at launch, cos game files are getting bigger and bigger nowadays, 16GB felt rather little liao

Definitely will get once it is released.

Ah ... 1920x1200 in 7" !!!!!!!!

Woohoo....temptation....... but no calls !!

Note 3 lah ....
