If that appears, then it may just push me over the edge into buying one

same here but then again there is a 10 inch one coming out too

interesting http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57528352-94/google-to-co-brand-10-inch-nexus-tablet-with-samsung/


phones and tablets are just like PC parts. no point waiting because there is always something around the corner

 

[DiCe!]

I wont go for a 10" tablet after using the 7, such a nice size for everything, the 10" just isnt good for moving about etc

 

[tom_e]

The 10inch also seems like it's going to be a premium product to go up against the iPads, with a price point to match.
Which is the total opposite to the 7inch which only interests me due to the fact it's bargaintastic

Couldnt agree more. I still laugh when i look back at people telling me not to buy an ipad because the Blackberry Playbook was just about to be released.

So...Chrimbo present for my sister: I'm thinking this Nexus 7. But is there a better and cheaper alternative?

She will only browse the net, Facebook and play silly games.

Kindle Fire?

It's a bit of a **** to find that your 3 month old hardware has lost value as it's now the lower end model, at least Apple wait a year before doing it

 

[Buckster]

yeah

but on positive twice the storage (in fact in reality more than twice the available storage after taking OS etc into consideration)

for same price sold

Indeed as soon as it lands I'll be buying one, or maybe two, the misses seems to be taking an interest in them

cheers.

lol epic - great way to depress those who already have the 16GB and even 8GB model.

 

[Edrof]

Does this mean the existing 16gb and 8gb models will drop in price? Or will they be totally replaced?

 

[byteagig]

Oh gosh don't know what to do now, I bought a nexus 7 from Tesco yesterday for a family members birthday in November.
I think I will return it tomorrow just in case....

 

[koooowweeee]

Love the nexus except for one issue.

I have heard that if you fill it to the brim it slows down, I can sort of understand that, but I have 8 gigs+ free and when I use Facebook and Chrome it seems like they lag....is this just me?

I dont get the lag on anything else...

I've got this issue.

I filled it and noticed it lagged a lot. So deleted loads of stuff and I've still got the problem. Just with Facebook and chrome.

Think it needs a full wipe.
