Nexus 9

So we agree you have justified the price of the Nexus 9 by restricting the category in which you are justifying it to just itself? Good.
 
Yes because it's in a class of it's own when it comes to spec, size, aspect ratio and pure android.

It's better specced with the same capacity as an Air 2 and £80 cheaper. Bargain.

Doh! You could have let on earlier you were just messing about, I'd have joined in!

Now I feel silly for thinking you were serious about all that :rolleyes:! I mean come on, how dumb am I! Banning a comparison to an 8" device while allowing a comparison to a 10" device. Pfffft, how did I not see that!
 
I don't know what Google were thinking with the pricing for these. I'd much rather ***** an extra few quid on an Air 2 (or even sacrifice some screen real estate for a mini 3).

Had it been £100 quid cheaper I'd have thrown money at them.

I had £300 earmarked for a new Nexus tablet... :(

If this was a Samsung product, you wouldn't be complaining. It's the fact that you've wrongly associated Nexus with cheap, which just isn't true.

But all recent Nexus devices have been cheap (relatively)?

And are you saying that if Samsung released a £400 9" tablet I'd think its ok? Cos that would be lolwtf stupid money!
 
Think the only issue here is the storage price, 16GB for £80 is really high, when you compare it to the Nexus 5, 7 etc etc. I think £350 would have been a much better price.
 
My real issue with the damn thing is that 32gb is the max capacity. The price honestly doesn't bother me one bit.

How short sighted could Google or HTC have been when agreeing to the spec of the device. I know big G want folks using the cloud but this isn't the way to do it. I just can't see the tablet selling well at all and before long it'll be another nexus 10 I.e rarely seen in public. I've had it with iOS but other folks considering this device will look right at the new iPads instead.
 
I've been thinking. Don't they (all, not just Google) have it the wrong way round? LTE opens up the possibility of using the cloud (all be it only when you have good and consistent signal), so shouldn't the WiFi one be the one with the more storage? That's the one you want more offline content on.

Agreed, 32GB max was a silly decision. And the markup on storage is also ridiculous.

Agreed, if companies want us to use the cloud for whatever reason they have to make it good so it becomes the obvious course of action for the user not this pathetic corralling and manipulation.
 
Its got nothing to do with the cloud. Its all about making something that costs 2p worth £80. Marketing by capacity is all the rave now. Basically hardware manufacturers are printing money.
