Just a question regarding google music :p, what happens if you upload some emmmmmm........... illegally acquired music albums? Can google see that and do they delete/remove the music and send an email or whatever stating why? Or is it ok and nothing is done?

Been using it for months now with my own 10gb of torrented music and it is all fine ;)
 
What interests me about the Nexus 7 isn't the hardware itself or even Jelly Bean, but does the fact Google are selling these to the UK market via the play store signal that a full roll out of Play Store to the UK is near? At the moment we don't have access to Music, magazines or buying movies (only rental).

Seeing as Google are apparently breaking even or making minimal profit on the hardware, the strategy for the N7 is to lock people into Google's content delivery. That's not exactly going to work in the UK if those services remain unavailable.

I feel the next stage for Google is to sort out some kind of iTunes competitor, they've laid some of the foundations for it with the Play Store, so I think you may be right.

Just to be clear, by iTunes I'm referring to the content delivery system, which Android currently doesn't have... or it's not comparable to iTunes anyway.
 
I got a question...

So Google Now "learns" over time. Does this learning get saved onto the phone or cloud. As in, if I'm doing a factory reset or playing with different roms on my phone every few days, does that mean Google Now will forget where I live, whether I'm a boy, etc each time?

Edit: d'oh, was supposed to ask this in the Jelly Bean thread!

What the story about the Asus Transformer and this retail group?

Exactly the same thing that's going to happen with the Nexus!

Massively over subscribed. My younger brother pre ordered one and it they ran out of stock. Every time we called for an update it was the same old story: we're dispatching it tomorrow.

We still hadn't received it by the time every CPW had loads in stock so we bought it there and then and when we went to cancel the DSG order it turned out ours had been cancelled ages ago for no reason.
 
I not been reading much about the Nexus 7 as I already own a iPad 3. But the specs and price of this device is amazing, you are getting a lot for your money.

Sugar looks like I'm stuck with the 8GB one then. Oh well, better that than nowt :)
 
I just sold my Touchpad to get this.

The specs are great and I have wanted a Google experience device for a while. Great price and specs. Can't wait to see how Google perform with the support.

I'm really looking forward to it. Once I sell my iPad that's me done with Apple as I'm sick of their litigation tactics. Once again Samsung can't sell a device in the US. No more money from me for Apple.

Samsung have tried the exact same litigation tactics, just with no success. The intent is still there, better not buy anything from them either. :)

Or HTC, or Motorola, or... *insert list of almost all large companies*

Oh please.. behave yourself
Even you cannot seriously suggest these companies are in anywhere near the same league as Apple when it comes to ludicrous court claims.

No, Apple are winning because they have better patents and a better legal team.

If it was the other way around Apple would have issues. I'm not saying I care either way, it's something all companies do.

Apple are also smarter and lucky with the timing, GN gets blocked just before the release of Jelly Bean, and GN being the only phone that will get this any time soon it will be a huge blow to google.

Will be intresting to see how google reply.

Google won't do anything, they're using the other companies to fight their legal battles in order to shield themselves from it. Crafty!
