Google Nexus 7 tablet announced

Nexus 7 tablet from Google

Google has announced its 7-inch Nexus tablet PC, running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

I can almost hear the millions of Android phones across the planet going "WTF I dont even have 4.0 yet!!!"

Personally I must say its the 1st time I am actually looking forward to an update.

Jellybean looks fantastic, and so does this tablet, especially at the price. Seriously tempting me to switch from Apple iPad.

Well, I had decided on this as a nexus tablet would suit my needs perfectly, but only available in the USA...

You looking at it wrong. Its not switching if you have both.

Mmm. For $200 I can actually afford both.

And it didn't crash. They could teach MS a thing or 2 about showing off a new product.
I just wish it would be available here sooner.

OMW, Stuff the tablet.... I want em glasses!!

Pity its for IO US attendees only

[Retnox]

So how do I get my paws on one? Google play store gives me a nice message: "Sorry! Devices on Google Play is not available in your country yet.
We're working to bring devices to more countries as quickly as possible.
Please check back again soon."

I guess its ship to the UK/US and then to this side of the planet?

This is going to be a killer. Pity about Amazon.

It would be nice if MYBB could get Google to comment on when we in SA can get this.

[BeVonk!]

I'm ready to buy 15 7" tablets for work ... this is now a game changer ...

It would be nice if MYBB could get Google to comment on when we in SA can get this and to give mybb nice Nexus PREZZIES!!!!!.

Please post back here if you can figure out a way of doing it.

Anyway for those that miss the announcement:



It kind of make sense now why Microsoft did not partner with ASUS for the Surface. When Microsoft released their detail I was wondering why they did not go with ASUS as everyone and his dog wanted a Windows 8 transformer.
