*** The Official Google Nexus 7 Thread ***

Interesting Tesco have stock now, may have to pop in as soon as my refund gets processed. I imagine lots of retail stores will have these from next week.

It depends on your mother's tech level and age, but the iPad has an awful lot to offer for people who like/need a very simple experience and aren't bothered about portability. For those with weak eyesight the large screen also allows an impressive degree of zooming before you lose functionality.

If it's a mom who already has Apple experience I might be inclined to wait 2/3 months for the Apple 7.8" form ipad, reputed to cost about the same as an N7.

I've never owned an Apple product but owners seem highly satisfied with their stuff.

I added two accounts, as i always do.

Havnt seen the £15 in the second account. Unless your suggesting i reset the device and enter it at start up?

Ive added a second google account via the add account option

Should get mine today. RM say its at my local depot, Blackheath.

I am right in saying when I open it I have 7 days to check and I can return if necessary under DSR.. I ordered from the big purple retailer.

Certainly you can unpack and inspect but after using it, loading data etc it is a grey area (their terms are specific on this but I don't know what the actual legal DSR position is).

Form factor is interesting. I thought it felt quite small last night. Having picked up my GS2 this morning though I have had a quick rethink.

The 7 is immensely portable. For me it is the right size for books, internet, home hi-fi remote control and gaming. It falls down on movie streaming because the film on fills half the screen.

I really enjoyed fiddling with it last night (after stoke1863 sorted me out with BSplayer). Jelly bean really excelled at web browsing (so much so that I am gutted when I have to switch browsers for flash). Little things like enlarging areas with multiple links so fat fingers don't spam the wrong link really help. For once an android web browser can deal with typing in these forums without me typing off screen or being unable to move the cursor!

There are foibles. Mine creaks and crackles (play store order) and has a mild case of the screen issue. There is some weird slowdown every now and again in chrome and when newly downloaded apps are placed on the home screen which jars you out of the super slick experience; no flash is beyond dumb then again this is half the price of the tablets I was looking at and comes with the Google experience which absolutely win me over .

Coming from a Touchpad with CM9 I am satisfied this was the right choice. I would give this to the other half and buy a nexus 10 in a heartbeat too.

Apple, now Android has moved away from Flash completely.... If Webmasters don't start moving away from Flash now they never will. Apps will need to be written in HTML5 to work on these devices, so they may as well start porting to their websites and quickly.

Yh I know, I'm not patient enough to stay on the phone for an hour but I'll try tonight when I get back. If not I'll just refuse delivery.

Well I've removed my debit card as it hasn't been charged yet and sent an email, will attempt to call tonight and if all else fails I'll just refuse delivery.

Not really expecting removing the card to do anything.

Even without the card there, you can still see the card details on the order.

I have the same issue as you! Still waiting on any kinda of confirmed email coming from google and i already have two tablets here from elsewhere.

Twenty four hours on and nothing back from GP confirming cancelation.

You expected a response in 24hours? Really?

I've seen posts saying they've gone two weeks without a reply, including the guy that posted the email saying sorry we cannot cancel your order as our speedy service has already processed it.

This is before any money was taken out, and any shipping information got sent.

I'm fully expecting me to get charged for another two devices, have to refuse the package. While hoping they actually make it back to google and I do get refunded two weeks later.
