Well 1200 x 800 screens would be generally considered 720p hd especially on screens as small as 7 inch.

It HAS an HD display. 1280x800 is great for a 7".

oh yeah and put it up in the air and capture photos. A rear camera? Really? really? This tablet is a killer. Cheap + awesome specs, what could you ask for more?

I can ask more.
Does it have expandable storage?

me too , the one reason that may make me go for samasung , if nexus turned out to be just only 8 or 16 GB without SD or microSD card slot .

I've struggled with this dilemma myself. I purchased a Tab 2 a couple weeks ago with the mindset that I could exchange it for the Asus/Google tablet when it was released if I wasn't satisfied with the Tab 2. In the meantime, I fell in love with (and can't live without) the IR sensor and Samsung's Peel Smart Remote app. As much as I love the idea of Asus' quad core tablets and Google devices, in general, they really are just no-frills app development hardware. Besides, Intel says "Android doesn't take advantage of multiple core processors yet" anyway.

to keep the cost down and because cameras on tablets are stupid maybe?

7. eDiesel posted on 25 Jun 2012, 02:44 2 0

To shave off cost.... I guess.

Generally nobody goes around carrying a tablet and using it as a camera so the lack of a rear camera is a very small detail. The only thing that is a disadvantage of not having it is maybe for the use of ar games but are rare enough

Because the next time I see some dumb ass taking photos at my local theme park, middle outside aisle at a wedding, or an in progress bank robbery with their pad, I'm going to karate chop it in half and set it ablaze with lighter fluid and a flint rock.

While the price is really a killer, i still think that the Nexus 7 won´t be a game changer for Android-Tablets, because most people will think that it is just a cheap "iPad-Clone" and will stick with an iPad. Apple says the same on all the Tablets that came out recently, i still remember the iPad 2 Keynote where Steve wondered if "2011 would be the year of the Copycats". Many people think that these Android-Tabs are just copied. I would say that the only Tablet, that could change that iPad-Domination-Situation, will be the Microsoft Surface - especially because it runs the full PC-Experience (at least the Pro One), so offices will probably fill up with some Surfaces. Or Maybe i´m wrong and the Nexus 7 will be the king of the tablet-world this year, we´ll see...

i believe it will be a game changer, i didn't get a tablet until the nook color tablet came out. i felt that everything else out there was still a little too expensive. and for a $200 dual core with a gig of ram and micro sd no camera, now rooted tablet was better than spending $400-$500 on something that does the same. and i particularly like the 7" tablets.

cutting to the chase when the kindle fire came out many many people purchased it because of it's affordable price for what people needs it for. i feel if Google can market this right not only to techies but to the average consumers they would out sell the the kindle fire or nook color tablet.

And you actually believe that nonsense?

ROFL. Seems like they're getting as bad as Motorola now when it comes to updates. I'd take this with a grain of salt.

It's more wishful hoping than actually believing.

It's the carrier's fault, you tool. Not the fault of Google or Samsung. All slow updates are the faults of carriers. Why do you think the T-mo GSII got the ICS update 2 weeks ago, AT&T got theirs last night, and Sprint is still working? It's the fault of the carriers, dumbass.

There is no real importance of a back camera on a tablet... Someone who holds up their tablet to take a picture just looks stupid. That's what your phone is for, or just you're digital camera. The only camera necessary on a tablet is the front camera, because if you video chat, it's more comfortable on a tablet than a phone.

"Wendy" needs a camera on her tablet and, in lieu of this, opts for an iPad. What a surprise.

66. remixfa posted on 26 Jun 2012, 15:49 0 0

because there is no tablet between 200 and 500 that offers a camera? lol. yes.. the nexus tablet has no camera. why the heck do u need a rear camera anyways? i have one.. heck, i have 2 since its 3D, and I never use the darn things. ever.

Agree, Probably a more pricey one for the people who want this but better in specs+hardware :)

55. Berzerk000 posted on 25 Jun 2012, 14:24 0 0

The only differences they could do to make it better is more RAM and a bigger, higher res screen, maybe a better front camera. But even then, I would pay an extra couple hundred for that

45. bayusuputra posted on 25 Jun 2012, 09:10 2 0

yeah, i guess a bigger screen would be better for a tablet.. like 10.1".. with card slot if possible, or at least USB host/OTG mode..

I would gladly sacrifice camera for that.. who really needs rear camera on a tablet?

56. Berzerk000 posted on 25 Jun 2012, 14:26 0 0

It would be nice for it to have a bigger display, I always thought that tablets were too small. The Toshiba Excite 13, I absolutely love.

Someone more informed than you, obviously.

Yeah, I played with a Motorola Xyboard 8.2 in a Verizon store and thought that it was about a perfect size for a tablet, screen is a good size and still portable.

7 inches is fine for me though, but if I bought a 10 inch tablet, I would want a docking keyboard like the Transformer Prime so it could be a laptop as well.

That's what the Note is for :p

Apple is very smart by releasing a larger version of their iPod Touch and call it an iPad so people run to the Apple store.

I have ICS. Now that being said, I had GB and it was fantastic. Gingerbread, for being a year and eight months almost, is still more advanced than iOS6 and WP8 is matching its features. Everything iOS 6 has GB had since Dec 2010.

You're perfectly fine with iOS 5 right? So why upgrade to iOS 6?
