That should make the web happy today. A new google anything makes all the screens look extra white.

Dont say that. Greatest phone ever! You know they didn't cheap it up to hit that mark at all. It's google man.....google.
The Nexus 7 is a 7 inch tablet and not a phone. However, the Nexus 4 (which is a phone), is considerably cheaper than its rivals.
The quote you are quoting was me in response to someone speaking of the Nexus 4 which is a phone FYI.
The rival phones are usually what $200 to make?? So its nice to see a decent one sell at a reasonable price point. I just like teasing the google C riders, I tease the Apple one as well. It's all in good fun.
If Sony made the Nexus I would be all over it perhaps.

I love the Samsung Note 10.1 for the multitask and so much more you can do but the screen somewhat sucks. The Nexus 7 is cute and power packed. The Surface is gorgeous, but it looks more for business. Now I have to try to find the Nexus 10 and the new Nook HD+.
Maybe you should tell that to the people who own Android tablets. Even with all of them out there, they account for less than 10% web traffic. Sounds like a good case that iOS devises are far more 'usable' - while still kicking ass in the looks department...
Ha i was like you then i took the plunge and got the note 2, now the s3 looks small. Its definately changed my perception.

Sorry, do you want to see more ipad mini unboxings?
i'm glad your happy. It's nice to have choices.
Yep.
(FedEx just delivered my choice)
i cant wait to get my Nexus 4! time to try something new
you and I both, Google is creeping up on Apple big time, delivering on innovation and technology and also pricing devices reasonably ..... Apple is just stagnant and pricey these days, and unfortunately you do not get what you pay for LOL, I'll gladly ditch my iPhone 5 and get the nexus 4+ Extra $
I agree that the ecosystem needs some work, but the fact that it is NOT locked down is one of its best qualities, IMO.
Seriously?
You do realize that Apple created the tablet market, right? You also know that Apple reinvented the smart phone market (perhaps you really liked Blackberry and Windows mobile phones...)
This comment is the most ridiculous post I've ever seen here....and that's saying something. Congrats.
The body is made out of the same stuff as my car dashboard.
And the iphone is made of the same stuff as a bums beercan... Your point?
To get everybody riled up and foaming at the mouth. It's kind of like being in a street gang. You have the Apple gang and the Google gang. They are deadly enemies fighting over technical turf. It takes us back to our tribal roots.
More so, it has no "legitimate" Eco System. If Google can ever get the users to agree to a lock down system Apple will be concerned.
Until then it a nice 10" Tablet without an Eco System. Google should have taken control 2 years ago.
What is this "Eco System" you are talking about? The big brother approach of Apple?
Honestly you should consider the benefits of Android being open. Yes, you are forced to act more reasonably (i.e. spare the data-mining free apps available, i.e. check an apps permissions before installing, i.e. read the fn reviews of the app). Nevertheless the openness is really great.
I personally love the possibility to have other sources for Apps than a single-company App Store. Actually some of Samsungs offerings are quite neat - so if you like them, go grab them at Samsungs Apps Store. Samsungs security suite is quite nice btw (and offers everything including forced wipe and phone tracking). Same applies to other vendors.
I also like some of the carrier specific Apps I own i.e. being able to synchronize my Adress Book to someone that is not Google but my carrier's server (which binds me to the carrier and not to the Smartphone OS) or having a widget showing me my data usage.
Heck - if I want a walled garden approach I just install the Amazon AppStore on Android. I can also get my Apps from there.
In short - what kind of benefit does the "Eco System"-approach bring?
The Nexus body is "rubbery" to quote one of the reviewers. If that's your thing then more power to you. I prefer a beautiful, smooth, polished aluminum back myself, but to each his own. By the way... We are are discussing Tablets not phones.
