    • Call it 1 million and 1. Ive just ordered mine…. and i’m an iPad nearly-new user.

    • NEXUS7 MY FAVORITE! THANKS FOR GOOGLE!

    • Good to see google stepping up to the competition it is always healthy for product improvement & innovation. However, Google Play is the last store one should chose to buy its products from. They charge $13.99 for shipping with no option of free shipping. Why on earth somebody would pay $14 for shipping for a $ 200 device when the same device is available elsewhere for free shipping ? Beats my reasoning atleast, and a quick call to Google Play Customer service infomed me that they will not address any part of shipping charges. As a protest, I’ve decided to return my device to Google Play and purchase it elsewhere.
      Oh, did I mention that Google included shipping charge for tax calculation as well ?

    • Nexus 7

    • Hmmm,my

    • Please no Novo 7 Flame here.

    • I currently have an iPad 3. I also happen to be a new owner of a 32GB nexus 7. I picked one up from my local GameStop after making some trade-ins. Ended up paying $99. I really love the N7! It is really intuitive for a tablet of it’s price range. Several gripes I have with my iPad are nonexistent on the nexus 7. Tired of selecting the wrong link because it happens to be annoyingly small? The nexus 7 will automatically enlarge if for you before allowing you the annoying mistake of selecting the wrong link.

    • Great. Prices and devices in all markets will soon be indistinguishable. But really, 1M/mo. vs. 3M a weekend.
