Yep, that is really, really good. It sounds excellent as well. Though he didn't compare composing messages (in the car for example), and it seemed to struggle a bit with reminders, thinking they were an alarm.

The Verge have just published their Nexus 7 review:

Google’s Nexus 7 isn’t just an excellent tablet for $200. It’s an excellent tablet, period. In fact, it’s the first Android tablet that I can confidently recommend to buyers — and not just because it’s got a low price tag (though that certainly helps). It’s a well-designed, powerful, and useful product, with lots of bells and whistles that makes it feel like a device that should be more expensive than it is.

There are still issues that need to be addressed — particularly around growing the tablet app footprint and expanding content offerings — but I don’t think those are deal breakers. The Nexus 7 delivers way more functionality than I expected, and it delivers it in a package that’s sleek, smart, and affordably priced.

Believe it or not, the last time I was surprised by a product with those same qualities, it was called the iPad.

Epic! :cool:
 
I'm getting more and more tempted to order on even though I have literally no use for it :p

I've got a Kindle for books on the move and an iPad for general media consumption at home.

still tempted though...
 
I have a 32GB iPad2, the missus has her Kindle, yet I've planted the seed in the GF's head that getting this would be useful...... "yes babe - you could put your tv shows on it" Mwah hahahaha.

It really does look good and for £159, it's not bank breaking either.
 
even at the current price point i dont think it will get much use for me because when im at home i rather browse the net on my desktop or laptop. At work i work infront of a desktop so again i cant see much use for this.

On my way to and from work it may be useful but only if i cache all the websites, articles etc before heading off as this device doesnt have 3g connection and wireless is useless 9/10 places u go.

It sounds to me like you're trying to convince yourself not to buy one... :p
