I'm getting one as well as the iPad. It's certainly not going to contend with the new iPad.

Do you think this Nexus can do hdmi out via a MHL adapter?

HTPC project anyone?

As a thought for those who want more storage -

How about a mifi type thing with a SD card attached? Android should allow you to quite happily navigate and read/write it with (damn it can't remember the name - file browser!)

Well it does have a USB slot. So a USB style SD adapter might be a good bet, no?

Maybe dude - I've never had a tablet pc, don't know what they do or don't have

Man I'm looking forward to that quad core processor and Jelly Bean. Should really fly!!

stoke1863 · 27 Jun 2012 at 20:36

Offline google maps should be amazing for car navigation if you can find a way to mount it. Jelly bean looks amazing

You do realise that there is an ICS port which works with the TP?? I am using it on mine and I can still use WebOS if required. ICS runs quite well TBH,so I don't see why you got your parents to sell their TP.

If it has a USB then why bother with a SD card slot? Get the usb/SD adaptor like Samsung did with their 10.1 and carry it around with you, will take a matter of minutes to move files and for £200 who cares quite frankly?

Winner in my opinion......just wish it was 10"!

That's a ridiculously massive bezel and a fairly low res given the size... The lack of SD card slot is a shame too.

But I guess still good VFM if you can't afford an iPad.

You do realise that this is less than half the price of an iPad2, never mind the new iPad.

16GB ordered. I'm just enjoying Android right now. Hopefully also swapping my iPhone 4s for a SGSIII this week also.

cu3ed · 27 Jun 2012 at 20:49

Just to be sure, its £150 ( uk pounds) for the 8GB version?

Hmm, apple products over rated and over priced products,

*looks at the hardware of the nexus 7 and compares to the ipad 2 and then compares the prices*........

No more needs to be said.

Sounds like someone is jealous

Ignore list me thinks

But I can afford and ipad(and i have one) - that isnt the point.
this is smaller, just as powerful and has some great features.

you and your apple fanboys may deem this an tablet for the poor, but news flash - Google dont price their products just because it has an apple logo on it.
such a completely idiotic and naive thing to say.

Invertigo · 27 Jun 2012 at 20:51

Hmm....I know I shouldn't, but I do quite want one! Already have an S2 and a Macbook Air for portable computing...hmm!

Robbo · 27 Jun 2012 at 20:54

Here we go with the iPad arguing...

This tablet is designed to undercut the iPad really, spec wise it doesn't compete with the new one but it is a lot cheaper.

The best way Google are going to get Android on tablets really going is by getting an Android tablet into the hands of as many people as possible, and this is a smart way of doing that.

stoke1863 · 27 Jun 2012 at 20:55

What version have people gone for ? I've ordered 16GB
