The Google Nexus 7 |
According to Andy Rubin, the Google Nexus 7 was rushed. He noted that the project went from "from zero to working product in four months." Jonney Shih, the CEO of ASUS, the company that built the tablet, said that his engineers told him the project was "like torture," and said about Google, "They ask a lot." The Google Nexus 7 team was split up around the globe and had a 24-hour development cycle, according to Shih.

I own a Galaxy Note and i am kinda unsatisfied with the user experience, so it will be an iPad 3 to try something different and get the best of both worlds.
The Nexus 7 ist the best of its kind (and the price tag is fantastic), but i dont like 7-inch tablets.

LOL then why would you pick 5.3inch at the 1st time...
24. TheLibertine posted on 28 Jun 2012, 08:21 1 1
Good question. I simply thought bigger = better and was also very spec-oriented, thats why i chose that monster :).

i want both the nexus and surface.
also, totally irrelevant, but if that is your picture, you're too hot to be here

If you want all three i.e. Nexus 7, Surface and the Ipad then thumb this up..!!

It doesn't looked rushed. If there isn't a major flaw in this tablet android should gain marketshare lead due to its low price point. Which is what they are going for. Why apple goes for profit. Everyone wins and the fanboy wars live on.

Google has just pissed us off!
No Google Play support in India!
Which means no pre order for us.
I was waiting for this table for more
than 2 months.
Google is going to have many unsatisfied
customers in India.

dont be so angry bro i am sure you'll be able to buy it soon enough. just keep an eye out for it on ebay. google play will support india soon so we'd be able to order tv shows and movies and nexus devices like the people in U.S. its the price we pay for not being born in the u.s.
12. adi4u4882 posted on 28 Jun 2012, 04:34 1 0
I wish so.
But currently the price of the $200 tab is $400.
I guess waitimg is the only option.
And i don't blame India for this.
Its just these companies who does not give
importance to us.
I hate Apple but their service is much better than
Google in India.
I guess that's the main reason for better sales for Apple in India.
Anyways Thank You for your concern :)

we exprience the same fate bro. I'm from indonesia that don't have support from play store. But a quick search in ebay yield this

though it's like 50 dollar more expensive but a small price to pay to get it a few months faster

Galaxy nexus too was not released in India,because samsung wanted GS3 to sell more..
5. ananya22 posted on 28 Jun 2012, 03:17 5 1
its absolutely wrong. though nexus7 is not a straight competitor to ipad and i personally would buy the new ipad rather than the nexus7 for just 1 reason-apps. for everything else i like nexus7 but as ipad has a lot more quality apps i'd go for it. but here's another thing- nexus7 costs less than half of the new ipad so a lot of people wuld buy it. and android 4.1 is a million times better than ios6 so those people would be quite happy

Afraid of what? Those two tablets aren't even in the same class really.
The nexus is more a competitor for the kindle fire. Apple has nothing to worry about. That's like telling porche to worry about the Altima. Both r great but target a different sector.

I wonder what the nexus 7 could have looked like if it wasn't "rushed"

Google going after the low end market is their strategy.

Awwwww, look at the cute widdle kitty!
...I'm sorry, what were you saying?

That's a legitimate comment. Do you report all the fandroid trolls on Apple articles as spam?
41. iamcc posted on 28 Jun 2012, 12:56 0 1
That's a legitimate comment? You mean like how my Galaxy Nexus was more expensive than the iPhone at release? Or how the SGIII is $249.99?
No. That was not a legitimate comment. That was you taking PART of the truth and trolling away with it, like always.
As i've said before... you are a f**king idiot taco.

no, Google just realizes that overpricing Tablets isn't going to work for them. remember how tiny the market share for Tablets is? Google will probably gain more profit from selling the Nexus 7 @ $200-$250 a pop than selling a selling a similar 10.1" Tablet for $500+ a pop. unless they're getting on the bandwagon by buying an iPad people don't want to spend that kind of money for a Tablet. it's kind of like Beats by Dre vs. the rest of the high-end Headphone Industry. i'm willing to bet that Apple will release an iPad Mini for $300 by the Holidays to respond to the Nexus 7 and the like.

The tablet that apple treated as just another android tablet.

It seems like they dont aim to make profit off of it. I hope there breaking even with this or making a little profit. Even then I hope it works just as good as they say because I would never buy a kindle fire but I would buy this.

i ordered 2 Nexus 7's and i would order a 10.1 if they bought 1 out and the ipad is just an overpriced oversize ipod touch
and ios crashs more then android
i had more reboots in my old ipod touch then i ever had on android and i used android since it came out
23. jan25 posted on 28 Jun 2012, 08:08 0 0
personally i don't see the practicality in tablets, high end phones can do almost every thing a tablet does. a 200$ tablet though is very tempting for what it has to offer and this is where the Nexus 7 can catch up to the IPad.

My thoughts exactly.
THIS JUST IN: Brian White is an idiot!

Isn't Brian White a country singer? What's he doing making silly comments like these.
32. reccatyo posted on 28 Jun 2012, 09:33 1 1
I think the nexus 7 is going to kill ipod touch, same price but more of almost everything. Screen gpu size etc. :p

"Google has no expectations of making money with the sale of the tablet as Rubin said that units sold on the Google Play Store are sold with no profit margin added. "
How unselfish of Google, they are purely out to spread technology to the world.
39. taco50 (banned) posted on 28 Jun 2012, 12:06 1 1
How anti competitive of Google. They're undercutting competition.
44. wassup posted on 28 Jun 2012, 15:41 0 1
HOLD UP HOLD UP HOLD UP...
you actually want to pay... MORE for something? O.o
no wonder you're an iOS user.
PS why should you care if it's 'undercutting' competition? you're getting a comparable product for less O.o
42. KingKurogiii posted on 28 Jun 2012, 14:33 0 1
this makes absolutely no sense.
if the Kindle Fire is successfully tackling the iPad and the Nexus 7 is a more compelling alternative over the Fire wouldn't it stand to reason that the Nexus 7 is more than capable of competing with the iPad? xD
45. InspectorGadget80 posted on 28 Jun 2012, 16:08 0 1
No worries? It's FREAKING 199$. look at the Kindle Fire. it sells just as much as the iPad does. and with QUAD CORE. and to let this analyst know APPLE doesn't INNOVATE.

I'm not buying one becase it cost $50 more in Australia, Sammy all the way.
