>Here are some pictures The Verge took of the device with a book displayed on it:

Any 7" tablet can handle normal epubs, since fonts can be enlarged and text reflowed. What I would like to see is a side-by-side comparison with Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet, using PDFs with high-density text that can't be reflowed, eg typical textbook PDFs. Example below.

This text for me is borderline passable on a Nook. The N7's higher resolution and +5mm display width should improve legibility, but it would be nice to see by how much. Reading is my main use on 7", so this is important.

Nice Review, I've been filling the void of not having one by vicariously living through the people that are reviewing ones they've already received. I don't know if I'm gonna make it through the week, really hope my email has something nice to say monday...
[Nexus 7 General] kanzlerin:
Thank you, it doesn't lookk necessary any more! Another poster linked to some pictures taken by the Verge. They are great. No wonder you love reading on it so much. :victory:

OMG, it's gorgeous! Thank you!

i hope to see your video review soon. Sorry wall of text scares me.
[Nexus 7 General] flintfirewalker:
Sorry guys, I think it's my comments that are offensive (since I was the first person who said anything negative about your review) and I don't mean to create bad sentiment. I agree we are on the same team, as we all bought/buying/auditing this device. Specially sorry to OP, I read your review in full, something I wouldn't have done if I didn't enjoy it or found it useful (coz its long dude).

My reasons for bringing bitterness to this discussion are the endless debates I am going through at work (all iPad bearing folks who never owned an android device in their lives). While iPad (the new one) certainly is a great hardware, it shouldn't be the gold standard for n7 review. N7 is not meant to be an all inclusive device device and has very specific purpose (easier to carry while we consume media, can't do spreadsheet modeling on it or use it to review company presentations.)

And the software comparison is an Apple to orange comparison. I use to prefer ios 2 years ago, I prefer android now. So reading your comments, I felt you were just another Apple preferring person here to tell us to accept iPad has better software. Sorry I missed the good hearted nature of your comments (should have known better, since you actually paid money for n7).

So bottom line, I need to chill out. Not all discussion is an Apple vs Google fight.
[Nexus 7 General] Nexus Phreak:
This has to be the most realistic and unbiased review I've read about the Nexus 7 so far.

Nice work, mate! :good:
[Nexus 7 General] guthrien:
Good review. As it seems to line up with my past and current experiences with devices I consider this the, "How I think I'm going to feel" review. C'mon Nexus shipping.

I think you'd have to be nuts to get a Xoom over this. He's not exaggerating about the screen.
[Nexus 7 General] gunnyman:
I have to agree with the iPad is just too big for games statement. I have a Retina iPad. F'ing gorgeous screen, and it's great for reading and web browsing, but any games besides the casual ones like angry birds etc are hard to play. Anything that uses the gyros is a a work out.

Can't wait to get mine.
[Nexus 7 General] gavinfabl:
Nice review. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 General] kanzlerin:
Seconded. I got rid of my Retina iPad today and it's a stone off my chest. The thing is unwieldy and frankly, I always subconsciously pussyfoot around it because of the 700 Euro price tag. It sucked. A 200-250 Euro device on the other hand, I'll bring it everywhere and have many wicked ways with it, I'll slap it full of stickers and whip it out wherever I am, without worrying about whether coffee, juice or sauce would stain it or whether something will scratch its fragile backside or whatever.
[Nexus 7 General] ArmorD:
Nice review, I enjoyed reading it. But what do you mean it won't run NOVA3? Even my old phone with Adreno 220 paired with a single core(tweaked though) Scorpion ran it.
[Nexus 7 General] razball:
See now I appreciated that review you clearly love Apple and you still wrote a great review.

And the points you made we're correct Apple does have smoothness down to a T but Google realized that and are trying to right their ways.

Thanks for the great review.
[Nexus 7 General] tech_abbz:
Awesome review, much better than the one that I read in the guardian blog.

I have a question: I have loads of tv programmes downloaded onto my PC, I would want to transfer them to the N7 but I've heard that you can't just plug the N7 via the USB they give, as Windows 7 doesn't recognise the device, is this true?
[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
Not true. I sideloaded music, movies, TV shows and books. Plug in the USB cable and it will automatically load the drivers on your PC. Then, it's drag and drop.
[Nexus 7 General] Torisen:
This review and the fact that I don't use my "new" iPad that much helped me decide to trade it in for the Nexus 7. Now I just have to wait for them to be back in stock (Gamestop).

Thank you for the great review.
[Nexus 7 General] tech_abbz:
Awesome!! That's the only doubt I had!! Can't wait to get it now
[Nexus 7 General] Brac20:
Nova3 has issues with the Tegra 3 SOC. I've not tried it but on the One X forum there has been some discussion on the matter.
[Nexus 7 General] hashibahoohaa:
Are you sure "any tablet" will reflow UTF-8 text too? If yes, that would be awesome. :)
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
My native language actually requires Unicode, although I read mostly English material nowaday. I don't see how utf8 would prevent reflow, but am not familiar. The dev for ezPDF is Chinese I believe. Please provide link to sample utf8 epub or PDF.
[Nexus 7 General] rushless:
With 13gb free and that sharing with media, seems if a person likes games like Nova 3 there will be quite a bit of app juggling. Then again, if you play games, beat them, uninstall and move on to others, no juggling.

I agree that a 7" tab is more suited for games that use the accelerometer and use my HTC View for those. My TF300 covers everything else. I would have bought the N7 as soon as available, if it had a micro sd slot. Hoping ASUS releases the 370, which is the N7, but with micro slot and full usb host support.
[Nexus 7 General] ghimires:
Great review man. It makes me more excited to get my Nexus 7. I think I also saw you post somewhere on here that you'd be using the 7 for not only gaming but reading as well? I've seen a lot of positive feedback in that department and one of the reasons why I got the N7; on top of it just being an awesome tablet for that price range.
[Nexus 7 General] jayman16:
Great review. I'm a big Apple fanboy and the N7 will be my <url=http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1768347>first Android device</URL>. The price, build quality, 4.1, and Nexus-class device are all what lead to my pre-order. I have always wanted to try out Android and for $200 this is really the best Android experience (it's sounds like) out their. Mine should be here Monday or Tuesday.
[Nexus 7 General] Nitin985:
Why did you say the tegra 3 is not the most powerful chip? I find it to be the best soc on the market until a quad core S4. It absolutely flies on my one x
[Nexus 7 General] _MetalHead_:
It is very powerful but not the most powerful. I think it is bested by the quad Exynos that's in the international S3s, and right now I think the reigning champ of the SOC wars is the dual core S4 Krait. The Tegra beats it for gaming but as far as benchmarks are concerned and even real world use, the S4 has it beat in pretty much every other regard. Not knocking your phone, the Tegra 3 One X is a beast, but it is widely accepted that the S4 One XL is the better of the two devices and it has the S4 to thank for it. Remember, more cores does not necessarily make it better. The S4 has more advanced architecture than any other SOC on the mobile market today and that's what makes it so awesome. The quad S4 that will be coming out soon is going to be unstoppable.

Also if I'm not mistaken, the Tegra 3 that's in the N7 is not the same that's in the One X or the Prime. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure it's a "lite" version with a lower clock speed. That's how Google and ASUS were able to put the Tegra in this bad boy and still offer it at such a ridiculously low price.
[Nexus 7 General] ewalk4866:
MetalHead great review because of you i went out today and bought one from the store even though i also ordered it online first. I guess i will have to return the one i bought from the store :cyclops:
[Nexus 7 General] Datsun.510:
Great review OP. Received mine on Friday from GameStop and I absolutely agree with you about this tablet. Its awesome and the best Android tablet to date. I love the weight, size, screen resolution, and the overall feel when I hold it.

I have owned the original Asus Transformer Tablet, Nook Tablet 16gb, and Blackberry Playbook. Even though I love the transformer and its dock, I think the overall size of a 10" tablet is too big. I like my tablet for being mobile and not stationary. Holding a 10" tablet with your hands can make it very hard to reach certain parts of the screen. The 10" has its uses, but I prefer the 7" size. My Nexus 7 fits in the pockets of my shorts, jeans, and jackets. I felt the 10" tablets to be cumbersome and needed a carrying case with strap to bring them with you. I sold my other 2 tablets back in January when I heard that Asus was building their 7" tablet, the ME370T. When Asus and Google got together, the ME370T became the Nexus 7. Sure I would have loved a Micro-SD card and other little things, like a 7" keyboard dock :). But overall I'm extremely happy with my tablet. Great job Asus and Google!

[Nexus 7 General] jayman16:
Great review. I just got my N7 this afternoon, and coming from an iPhone/ iPad for the last 5/3 years Android is totally new to me and I'm loving it.

There is a lot to get used to but so far I don't have one bad thing to say about it. Already got it rooted!

From My Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] guthrien:
Yeah, I have to say that using it today very much validated your review, it's a fantastic device.
[Nexus 7 General] r0zj0k3r:
My 2 cents

I like the device overall, but google needs to figure out the mess of updates. In one hand they support so many different devices which gives you the ultimate say in choice, on the other, the vast amount of different versions has got to be a nightmare for developers and end users. JB is great; near perfect. But the biggest weakness is the app store, due to the conflict between Google's fast paced updates, and all other manufacturers glacial or non existant pace of updates. Some apps work with some phones and not others, JB looks great but not a lot of apps that I like support it (mainly the dev type apps, the ones that require root). All in all it is a pretty chaotic mess as devs try to keep up and more and more new stuff rolls out.

Other things to hate:

-an sdcard slot would make this thing SOOOOO much better, I have the 8GB, great price but most certainly meant to be an e-reader and movie streamer, not content holder. and game player but I don't do that....

-camera sucks, but is on par for the price

-no avi support out of the box? after some reading I see this has great support for ...sigh... mp4. why drop avi though? it is still passed around alot, while agreeing with apple's mantra it also makes it easier to tote their streaming services

-the obvious aesthetic similarities to the iPad...Be different!

-for me, DHCP on WIFI does not work. I have to set up a static IP. Small bump for me, but for the masses this is probably enough to seriously discourage

-Google's slow take over of your privacy!!!

Things to like:

-fast, sleek OS

-well built

-the over all cost to performance ratio is awesome

-everything that is good about android!
[Nexus 7 General] _MetalHead_:
I agree with pretty much everything here except two things:

DHCP works just fine for me on both of the tabs that I have in my possession, with multiple wifi networks. It could be something specific to your tablet or your network. Troubleshoot it a bit.

Aesthetic similarities to the ipad? What are you smoking? Aside from both of them having a big piece of glass, they look nothing alike. Different size, different shape, different color, different materials, different textures, etc....
[Nexus 7 General] r0zj0k3r:
OK maybe aesthetics aren't that similar...I was more refering to the slow trend to be more like iPad. For instance, the transformer series is more in line with what I would expect from a non-apple device. Mini HDMI output, SD slot, and then of course the 'dock'. This just feels more along the same simplistic line of thinking as apple (either love it or hate it). I am more concerned with functionality than style. As far as the materials, I think they are different because they are cheaper than brushed metal.

But really I am just asking too much for a $200 device. If I wanted all the stuff mentioned above I could have bought the Prime, but $200 sounded better to me...

I still don't understand the WIFI thing, it seems like it is be software related which is odd, there are a handfull of people that have had this same problem, a small handfull. It is specific to this device, my wife has a froyo device, i have my computer, and my sgs 4g all conect to the network without a hitch everytime.
[Nexus 7 General] tech_abbz:
not having .avi support is really annoying but if you download MXPlayer it plays anything, .avi and other video files, it's like vlc media player for the computer... which has a beta version on the android app store

Edit: Not sure why, but when I reflashed and reinstalled mxplayer avi support worked this time. So I concede my previous comment. :D

Posts like this make me want to skip straight to payday :(

I'm going to order mine next week soon as the money hits my bank!
[Nexus 7 General] guthrien:
I have to say, the more I use it the more I love it. I've loved my iPads I think they smoke all the other Android tablets I've tried, especially when jailbroken. However this week I've tried just bringing the Nexus with me and I've been extremely satisfied. For the price point it simply cannot be beaten. I would recommend it to anyone and already have several people in my life who just wish they were available.

I've read some horror stories about build quality online but I've no complaint on that score. I also don't get the laments in certain places about a lack of 2nd camera, I find those all but useless.

I wish the power cord was longer and it had 3/4G. I wish the Android market had better games for down time. Besides that, I'm damn satisfied so far.

[Nexus 7 General] _MetalHead_:
I agree completely. I am more and more impressed with my N7 every time I pick it up. So much so that my iPad 3 just went on craigslist today :)
[Nexus 7 General] guthrien:
I salute your responsible ownership, sir! The screen is far too beautiful for me to get rid of it, I have too many good apps, it will remain in my rotation. But it does seem like a fragile, heavy device sitting there and the Nexus ends up leaving the house.

I try install a new kernel file...
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
1. This does not belong in the dev section - next time post in Q&A section

2. Your signature says you are S-ON. If this is correct you cannot flash kernel files as is. You must either S-OFF or repack the zImage kernel file into a boot.img and flash using fastboot flash boot boot.img then flash the modules through recovery.

Tbh I would go for S-OFF because its much less hassle than the other way ;)
[HTC Sensation] nba1341:
Assuming you are on MIUI 2.7.13 (based on your signature) the sense based one then that is why. The newest MIUI messed up a lot of crap I was not able to flash bricked kernel over it either got the same exact error.

Whenever I surf the interweb with the stock browser on my TF101, I always get freezes of Adobe Flash after a while.

After some investigation it seems that Adobe Flash (version 11.1.115.12) is not using any cache. When I check the cache in Settings/Apps it always says 00.0B

Also the stock browser's cache gets stuck when it reaches 27.59MB. It never gets higher.

Has anyone else had this problem and/or knows how to fix it? And could this be the problem of some Flash movies that freeze or stutter.

I already did a couple full resets/wipes (like you would do after a firmware update) and factory resets.

Running ICS Leak 2.16.213, Safestrap 2.0A and until yesterday was running hashcode's port of AOKP milestone 6, build 20120709. I'm on a Giffgaff (O2) UK SIM, so needing to use 900MHz GSM, 3G etc.

When I initially flashed it, voice worked, but data did not, I was advised to change telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice to 0 in build.prop to fix this, and that got data to work, and for all of Friday voice still worked.

Saturday morning, I receive a call and there is no voice in either direction. I try a few other calls, and nothing, dead.

Change that setting back to 1, voice works, no data. Later in the day attempts to make calls caused com.android.phone to crash.

Reflash, wipe data/cache, voice works with no data. Change that setting back to 0, and again com.android.phone crashes.

Update to the 20120713 nightly of AOKP, no change. Try the 20120713 nightly of CM9, no change.

I'm back on the stock ICS leak now which is working just fine, but would love to know what is going on here and if there is anything I can do to fix it?
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Answering my own post, but the answer was posted by olegfusion in the CM9 thread in development.

Need to set the following build.prop settings:

telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice = 0

ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone = 1

ro.telephony.default_network = 3

ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc = 0

Spoke too soon. It's stopped working this morning with no changes at my end.

Upgrading to the latest nightly and redoing the build.props hasn't fixed it either. Guess I'm going back to stock again :(
