Use mine on train to Glasgow too, guess we haven't crossed paths, i'm on the Ayrshire line.

Mainly I see kindles, last iPad I saw was a woman who gave it to her toddler in a buggy while she used the iPhone.

Not noticed any n7 but have seen a surprising number of galaxy notes lately.
[Nexus 7 General] shadowmonkey1974:
Haaaaa our paths might cross As I catch the train at Johnstone via Paisley Gilmore St. Will keep an eye out
[Nexus 7 General] SPreston2001:
I've seen a few people here locally in Columbus, OH with a N7. People always ask me about it when they see me using mines and compare it to a iPad.
[Nexus 7 General] Jay Aristide:
I miss living in Columbus :(
[Nexus 7 General] SPreston2001:
Born and raised here lol. How long did you live n Columbus?
[Nexus 7 General] Jay Aristide:
Over thirty years. I'm a Hilltopper :)
[Nexus 7 General] SPreston2001:
Sweet the westside! I have a few family members who live out that way but I've been living on the north end for most of my life. Just north of Easton at the present moment.
[Nexus 7 General] quidnunc:
If they are lucky they sell maybe 10 million of them this year? You wouldn't expect to see many when there aren't loads of them out there yet. But easily 20x of them out there compared to the Vita I own which I only know other people here have because the built in Near app. I personally never take either device out in public but I would if I used public transit more often (to watch videos, read books, and other offline stuff)

One in the wild

I finely saw one in the wild yesterday while at Best Buy. The guy that had it was looking for cases and saw mine first and came up to me asking where I had got mine. Shortly after he noticed that I wasn't running a stock ROM and then we talked about rooting and unlocking the N7 for about 30 minutes.

I ended up sending him the link to where I bought the case on Amazon and links to XDA page where I got the ROM. All in all it was a better trip than I had expected.
[Nexus 7 General] bobarcangle:
I took my n7 to the best buy store in prescott az over the weekend to help a friend shop for a tablet. The head of the tablet department asked to play with it, and he was duly impressed. He was so impressed that he said that he would be ordering one for himself and one for his daughter.
[Nexus 7 General] linkinparkfan007:
I'm still a first right now my friend has bought one too so ill see him at the University :)
[Nexus 7 General] kidrobot52:
Saw one today on the train ride home from midtown. Traded some apps and games. :)
[Nexus 7 General] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I see people all the time with everything else.

One day I will see it in the wild. :D
[Nexus 7 General] balla4lyf23:
Live in Ontario, Canada and haven't seen any N7's yet besides mine, but people do ask me what kind of tablet I have
[Nexus 7 General] Captain Morgan:
Haven't seen anyone else with one yet myself.

When people do ask me about it as soon as I tell them it's Android they automatically think of those cheap crap Chinese tablets and then I have to explain to them this is different and that this one is really good.

Them cheap crap tablets have given Android a bad name. A lot of people seem to think iPads are better because they automatically think of the bad Android tablets that a lot have bought.
[Nexus 7 General] shadowmonkey1974:
I thought my luck was in yesterday ,it was black,7 inches but sadly it was a galaxy tab 4g,still had a nice conversation though
[Nexus 7 General] Jay Aristide:
I'll be lucky if I see one in the wild anytime this year, considering where I live (BFTennessee)...
[Nexus 7 General] linkinparkfan007:
I've now officially seen one.

Was walking on Friday around the Food Court in the mall to exit it. Saw a guy reading his E-Book on his Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] Solsmac:
No I haven't

I have yet to see someone else with one. but we had anticipated its release, we are probably just one of first to get it. not to worry, it will catch on
[Nexus 7 General] 150pilot:
Ahh, but Apple already has the patent on "rounded corners" so they can counter sue!

And with everyone mistaking the N7 for a mini-iPad, a jury might just rule in Apple's favor just because it looks iPad'ish.

Crazy times...
[Nexus 7 General] cheesemuffins:
To be honest, I was surprised and excited to just see somebody using an android device while waiting for the movie to start at the theater last night. I'm used to seeing iPhones everywhere and some blackberries.
[Nexus 7 General] shadowmonkey1974:
Only if you live in America,Japan has ruled in Samsung's favour and the courts in the UK told Apple to basically get lost.BTW still a lonely Nexus7 user here.
[Nexus 7 General] 4z01235:
A bunch of my coworkers at the company I worked at over the summer (co-op/internship deal) had Nexus7's, but seeing as it was a mobile app development place, maybe that's a bit of a biased sample... :)

Otherwise I've only seen one other Nexus7. Some guy on the train had one.
[Nexus 7 General] shadowmonkey1974:
Friends,family and co workers don't count :) The train guy does though;)
[Nexus 7 General] Adammk1:
Ill be taking mine everywhere when my case arrives. Im in the UK.

But yeah, everyone asks what makes it better than an iPad, like it is my job to sell the idea to them. I usually just say everything makes it better.
[Nexus 7 General] psycho2097:
Only guy I know who owns 1 is the gamestop store manager where I bought it from.. :D said he luuuuuvsss it.

[Nexus 7 General] underlines:
Switzerland is a damn Apple country :( and everybody use trains here. It's the country of public transport (highest rate on earth) and afaik from the google-mobile-statistics we have some of the highest Apple usage rate here. Which is dumb, many dumb users here :P Haha

But the worst part: Nobody uses tablets! Everybody looked at my chinese Yuandao N101 10" dualcore beast on train, and now everybody looks at my Nexus 7, the dumbest comment so far: (two woman sitting near me) "Oh look, my brother in law has an iPad too, those nerds just have too much money" OMG I was like shouting out that this is quarter the prise of an iPad but double the specs. lol

And of course I never see anyone with a tablet here... We don't have kindles, we don't have people spending money on iPads. But everybody looks at his 3.5" iPhone 4S like apple-soldiers in the army
[Nexus 7 General] viera_ritz:
I've seen one so far and that was at an office depot here in San Antonio and that was when I was getting mine love this device I've convinced almost all my coworkers to get one tough, apple can kiss it lol
[Nexus 7 General] taffypride:
actually had a mate the other day who thought I had a new iPad until I put him straight.

Had a play with my 16Gb N7 and let's just say he went and bought one himself :)
[Nexus 7 General] shadowmonkey1974:
Nice one Taffypride Still encounters myself still ,have recommended the nexus to a we of my friends thankfully all of them are tech savvy and know the difference between droid and iOS.BTW your name,,,your not Welsh are you?
[Nexus 7 General] julianlyle:
Still haven't seen any in my town.

[Nexus 7 General] kennyfool:
I agree with a post above. I haven't seen any N7s out there but a bunch of iPad users are like "whoa that's so cool!!!"
[Nexus 7 General] daboikrisco:
I have seen so many N7s on display but I have yet to run into anybody else with one. I'm sure when I finally do see one I will walk up to the owner like a creep ( btw I'm not a creep) and try to bond with my fellow Nexus friend.

Edit: oh and I absolutely hate it when kids call it an iPad!!
[Nexus 7 General] Mach3.2:
I hate it too, it doesn't even look like a damned iPad!

[Nexus 7 General] menacke:
I haven't seen another owner either and I live in Philadelphia but what really tiks me off is how my wife and family call it an ipad.... I feel like kicking them everytime I hear it and I find it funny that people are saying the same and how randoms will come up and say oh it looks like an ipad or it looks like one.... I personally find it way better then any tablet out there
[Nexus 7 General] staceenmiked:
I was at a restaurant this evening and I had the nexus on the table and when the waitress brought the food over she gasped saying OMG is that the nexus7 and was saying she had one and loves it :)
[Nexus 7 General] TedT100:
Not going to point fingers but droid and android are not interchangeable. That's like comparing Dell (hardware manufacturer) and Windows (operating system). Droid is a type of phone manufactured by Motorola which runs Android with the MotoBlur interface.

And, to stay on topic, I have seen one N7 user in Walmart and one at my college.
[Nexus 7 General] kpjimmy:
No spotting here in San Antonio. I see ipads and I don't normally take it out publicly unless I am using NFC to pay for something LOL. I get funny looks at McDonalds when pay for my Big Mac meal.

In the theater, when the lights go down and when the movie screen asks the audience to silence their cells, I spot a lot of Galaxy SIII's. Majority are iphones though.

[Nexus 7 General] mustbepbs:
Had a kid in my congregation ask me where I got my iPad..I let him know exactly what it was, how much better and cheaper it was versus the iPad and to never buy Apple products because they're inferior. He's a good boy so he listened.

Stupid Kleenex branding...
[Nexus 7 General] shadowmonkey1974:
Congregation? You have told him that apple is the work of the devil :)

Wait a sec,,, Didn't Adam and Eve get cast out because Eve wanted and Apple?
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Yeah it is an ipad according to brand associations lol. I remember when I was a kid you called all portable tape players "walkman" and that's what they were known as even though only Sony actually made the walkman. I know i often told people my old SanDisk sansa was an ipod because you'd say "Mp3 player" and most people looked at you puzzled. But you tell them it's an ipod they know immediately what your talking about.

But back onto topic, I have yet to find anyone else who owns one.
[Nexus 7 General] RockNrolling:
I haven't seen anyone else with a Nexus 7 yet. I have had a few people ask me about it at my university. The university I go to has a very strong presence of Apple products, so I'm not too surprised that I haven't spotted any other N7 users.

I have had one person ask me about my "iPad", then correct herself and ask what kind of tablet it was. It was kind of entertaining. :rolleyes:

No one talks to me on the train mind no one talks on the train to random people unless its a nutter. Still a lonely traveler in an apple world.There is a chap who posted in this thread that commutes to Glasgow that owns a nexus but have yet to spot him.

Well maybe there's like one more. In any case I have no hope of spotting one or getting spotted, even tho I use it on the train almost daily.

From the people I know, im the only one with the Nexie in Serbia and Greece.

Its unofficialy sold in Greece, and thats where I got it, so I guess there are more people out there with it but I havemt stumbled upon them yet :)

I dont have any expectations to see anyone with it in Serbia though...
[Nexus 7 General] b4silver:
So u have a black market nexus? Nice.
[Nexus 7 General] Divr:
Since I bought it online here on Indonesia, I might be the only one using n7 in my campus. Though people always called it tab 7 on which point I corrected them. And when they tried it, they gasp on how smooth it is and ask where to buy it.
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
I haven't seen another N7 user but my Aunt bought one and my mother-in-law is buying one.
[Nexus 7 General] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:

It was for a little kid. Hahahaha.....

[Nexus 7 General] RockNrolling:
I just saw my first Nexus 7 in the wild today. I was walking up to one of the buildings at my university and there was another student standing outside the building with his N7. I was excited, but I wasn't sure if it was a kindle or something else because it was in a case.

So I went to him and asked if it was a N7. He said it was and then I told him I have a N7 too. We ended up talking for awhile about the best apps we've found for it. :D

One main reason could be it's WiFi only so you can't actually use it everywhere. I used iPad and other tablets but n7 is far better than all of its kinds when you compare the price and power.....

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Actually wifi tablets are killing 3G/4G/LTE models because they are lower in price, no 2 year contract, and no required data plan. Verizon and at&t both added their family shared plans (pure ripoffs) to try and jump start the mobile data tablets
[Nexus 7 General] irishrally:
I've never seen one and I live 30 minutes from Google HQ. I probably need to get out more.
[Nexus 7 General] menacke:
I finally spotted another in the city but it was because I influenced my Co worker at work to get one because he was in the market with one and fell in love with mine so he went out and got one
[Nexus 7 General] teh-maz0r:
I have seen one, but only because a co-worker bought one after he saw mine.

and my Dad's resistance to my suggestions that he sells his playbook and grabs a N7 is waning.

Well, three months at the University of Michigan and its 24,000+ undergraduate students, and I've seen a grand total of... wait for it... THREE Nexus 7s apart from my own! That's right, not one, not two, but three whole ones! The sarcasm is just dripping down my screen right now!

All kidding aside, it's pretty disappointing to see so many iPads (not to mention iPhones and Macbooks) and so little Nexus 7 action. Oh well, I guess I should be happy to have seen any at all.
[Nexus 7 General] shinjielric:
So far I'm the only one I know of with a Nexus 7. I'm also one of two people with a Nexus device at work. My coworker has a Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus 7 General] walaway:
In my local I haven't seen anyone else on a nexus7.

A few hipsters have already approached me and asked if this was the ipad mini..lol

Those peeps here with a nexus7 dont really show up
[Nexus 7 General] dr.m0x:
Considering Google don't really advertise the Nexus line it's not really surprising you hardly see them or even meet anyone who has heard of them. Almost everyone knows what a Galaxy S III or a Note 10.1 are, only geeks know what a Nexus 4, 7, or 10 is.

I can only assume they don't advertise because they already make no profit or possibly even a loss off the hardware itself. The profit comes from getting people onto the platform, displaying ads in certain apps, and selling digital content off the Play Store.
[Nexus 7 General] Jay Aristide:
So,

Ended up spending the night in Wally*World to get a 50" TV for $300..

While I was waiting to queue, the same counter was being used to clear the queue for the iPad sale....

OH WHAT FUN.

Was asked at least 5 times "Is that the new iPad mini? Can I see it???" Handed it right over, and waited for "WOW!!! They've really overhauled iOS for this thing, I LOVE IT" to which I responded "Yeah, it's the best OS out there. Can I have my Google Nexus 7 back now? By the way, in the back of the store you can buy two of these with no waiting for what you're about to pay for one iPad"

Oh, the iSheep were ever so confused.
[Nexus 7 General] The Peanut Master:
That's brilliant actually, when someone asks if it's the iPad Mini tell them it is, let them try it out, and then ask if they like what Apple has done to iOS. When they inevitably say they think it's so much better... BANG lay down the truth.
[Nexus 7 General] Jay Aristide:
I didn't tell them it was a mini, I just didn't say it wasn't. 'Can I see it?' usually came out of their mouth before I could answer. It was so much fun..
[Nexus 7 General] Rushy_Rush:
I have not seen any in the wild, but I do get asked what that is. I let them know and tell them how I sold my iPad 2 because the Nexus 7 is far better. My wife wants one, but if afraid to jump ship from her iPad.
[Nexus 7 General] Omar04:
I haven't seen anyone with a N7. And only one friend that have a Gnex.
[Nexus 7 General] oldblue910:
In the weeks between selling my Motorola Xoom and receiving my Nexus 10, I have been taking my N7 to the bar with me pretty regularly. I'll normally have one person ask what kind of tablet that is. I just tell them it's "Google's tablet, the Nexus 7". Most people just smile and nod but a few people have said "Yeah I've seen commercials for it. How do you like it?" and I'll go on to explain why I like it better than the iPad.

Now that I've received my N10 though, my N7 will probably go back to staying home 99% of the time and the N10 will start being my bar companion like the Xoom was.
