I got one and returned it for two main reasons:

1) No 4G
2) No Verizon model

I also did not like the fact that I can view movies and shows on my Amazon Prime account with a native app on the iPad Mini (Which I got) and cannot view it on the Nexus 7 without having to use (the almost worthless) flash player….

Other than that, I would have kept the Nexus 7….

Add an SD slot and hmi/ hdmi out, then just make them all 8gb, and accessories. Would love a bluetooth keyboard like the ASUS tablets

I’m sorry if you are reading this using an IOS . Enough said if you were a true apple fan why worry about android . This is a android fan club quit defending apple go read about apple. Or purchase something from apple to do that considering nothing is free with your brand.;)

I’m not sure an app really needs to be different for a 7 inch screen

I like to think people are just finally waking up from the Apple brainwashing (plus Android has come a long way). I’ve seen a TON of S3s in the wild, and owned by the type of people I’d expect to have an iphone.

The article didn’t seem completely clear — are they saying that the N7 beat ALL iPads, regular + mini? Assuming so, that’s pretty huge! It seems like the iPad mini is already a forgotten product.

Yea, i just mean stuff like cases, docks, anything that needs to be made for the specific form factor of the device. The case that launched with the N7 is garbage. They built the sleep functionality into the device, but the official case doesnt even make use of it?! I mean, what the hell! The Nexus 10 is about 3 months old, and theres still no official case! And no word on if one is even coming!

We just rolled out Nexus 7s at my work in a switch to going paperless. Never would of gotten enough iPads approved through my IT budget. These are great tablets.

i think what makes the Nexus 7 great (and most other android tablets as well) is their vast compatibility with existing tech. for example, bluetooth accessories (music, mice, keyboards) , otg/hdmi cables, microusb cables, etc. at least compared to the IPAD. but i do agree official accessories should have been released shortly after launch.

“What does Google need to do to keep the Nexus 7 on top?”

Release accessories for it (and every other Nexus device) at launch, and not 6 months+ after release, right before a refresh is (more than likely) going to be announced
