.... and thanks for all the fish.
You sound like one of those cellphone adverts in the paper from the 1990's, going on about Tri-band, GSM, Mhz, GHz and other waffle.
It has a better display, which might enhance the user experience. But I wonder if the people that are buying the lower end devices care...? And it lacks the deep integration with the Amazon content services, which make the Kindle Fire stand out.
On the plus side, it's good to see 4.1 fix many of the lag issues
I actually already have a friend from the US...but he is based here now for work and only goes back every now and then.
/goes looking for American BF online
Now why you loer en kyk gelyk?
Is ek miskien van goud gemake?
I read somewhere that the Nexus 7 has a IPS screen
Display: 800 x 1280 pixels, 7.0 inches (~216 ppi pixel density)
Surely 216 aint IPS? I thought IPS is basically Retina quality...or am I understanding it wrong???
Now why you loer en kyk gelyk?

You're confusing IPS and Retina.
IPS is In-Plane Switching, which relates to viewing angle.
Retina is a function of Pixels per inch and viewing distance
No IPS is the display type not pixel quantity, think view angles when you see IPS, and yes iPad has it as well.

Oh ok. *blush*

Ok. It's going to be much faster, better built, prettier and the software will be better. Is that 'user experiencey' enough for you?You sound like one of those cellphone adverts in the paper from the 1990's, going on about Tri-band, GSM, Mhz, GHz and other waffle.

I gave up when he mentioned Amazon integration, esp seeing that Nexus 7 will be able access Amazon store + Play store, but Amazon tablets only have access to Amazon Store.
.... and thanks for all the fish.
It does look like it will be better built. I don't know about the software though. The Kindle OS is pretty decent
Android and Apple devices can't access all the Amazon services. And the integration into the OS vs the specific apps on Android and iOS is much better.
And I suspect the market will agree
HUH? like?
I can get movies/music/books and Applications, what else do I need?
.... and thanks for all the fish.
Seeing as I have to use a proxy to access the play store to see the Nexus 7, I assume that we'll have to [gray] import it there'll be no warranty for us South Africans?
Also, a bit off topic but I see the Galaxy Nexus is just under R3000 now... :drool:
Kindle OS is horrible. We have a Kindle Fire, it sat practically unused by my wife until I flashed it to stock 4.0. The hardware is pretty decent and it's a nice enough tablet once it's running pure ICS, but for the same price I'll take the Nexus7 hands down. I'm even considering swapping out my iPad2 for one.
Where?Also, a bit off topic but I see the Galaxy Nexus is just under R3000 now... :drool:
