*** Google I/O 2012 ***

Pinch to zoom in Gmail is years overdue. If they don't bring that in I will be writing a very strongly worded letter to Google.
 
Google wallet would be amazing if it works with things like tlf for travel and such, having to carry a oyster card all the time is very annoying.
 
This no SD slot/more money for more size carp is really annoying me. Android is about choice, and leaving SD slots out just to make more cash isn't on.
 
Since Jelly Bean is being released now, what will they have for the next Nexus phone around November?

With Jelly Bean being 4.1 they could call it a minor release and thereby stick to Google's previous suggestion of 1 major update each year.
 
Why don't Google release a high end tablet instead of a budget one. :(

I think it is fine. Going by their entire Nexus strategy, they don't need it to sell amazingly well. Just to get into the hands of developers and at this price it is a low barrier to entry. Remember that apart from the iPad no other oem has produced anything pricey which has sold really well.

It boils down to a tablet for a select few or extending the reach of Android to the masses. The strategic decision is the later and in my opinion the correct one. There will be a high end one at some point but it will most probably come from a partner.
 
It's all about the ecosystem not hardware.

They need a clear focal point like the iPad (2) or Kindle. If your happy with your cheap Nexus you'll probably upgrade it that fancy 11.6" 1080p, quad core A15 Samsung later on.
Swapping hardware is dead easy, changing ecosystems? Not so much... (how many are now entrenched in iOS/Android due to all those apps, games, cloud services and media content they've purchased?)
 
I adore the UI
It would be the exact same colour scheme I would choose, there are very few places that annoy me, but overall brilliant 4.0
 
That nexus tablet looks very awesome, it will probably come over here at £200/£250 though knowing our luck. Can't wait for the actual announcement now.
