That has never stopped Apple selling tons of devices tough. It's a great way to push people to upgrading and to use your cloud services though...
WOW!!!!
I watched the video and got it!! If they can pull it off it will be amazing, but I think it's going to be a few years away yet to reach the full potential, say 3 or 4. But it's a very interesting idea.copyright infringement can we stop that childish thinking.
Copyright should be short and quickly forgotten to use copyright to slow advancement and ideas is stupid at every turn.
I love how all the haters say this is going after the iPad. Nowhere does Google say that. They are going after the Kindle Fire - and with these spec's (and the ability to read Nook books and Kindle books) will kill it. It has twice the power and up to twice the storage of the Kindle Fire for same price range.
Thats why Apple will be putting out its 7" iPad in fall - to go after the Kindle Fire that has been killing it in the "reader" market. Google and Apple just want a piece of that pie as it is fastest growing market.
This thing will sell big time.

Lots of people care. We want stuff manufactured in the states instead of Asia. If you really cared about human rights you'd want work conditions in China to improve, or speak with your wallet by buying American manufactured stuff.
Bingo..Had the iPad and iPad 2, and now I primarily use my iMac 27 and Macbook Pro, so the 7" Nexus tablet for casual use is exactly what I was looking for.
I don't remember taking any worthwhile photos with my Ipad2, and I never got about 4 or 5 gb in storage, so the 8gb unit is what I ordered. Never wanted a Kindle Fire though. ALmost bought a playbook. Yes I like gadgets...and at $199 it aint like its a lot of money spent. Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Whether you're an Android fan or an Apple fan, it's always good to have competition!
I am quite sure this an answer to the Nook Color and Kindle Fire market and not the bigger tablets.
I am not sure of the wisdom of trying to compete with other Android devices but whatever (same with Microsoft).
Meh, to the Quad core since Android seems to need processing power more so than IOS and WP so it's not worth getting back on the spec treadmill.
Why anyone would buy a non-Nexus phone if they are in the market for Android is beyond me. I love Apple and all, but my GSM GNEX is simply incredible.
May pick up a Nexus 7 just for fun. ICS/JB is far superior to iOS, in my opinion. Not trolling, just speaking from experience.

no 7 from apple you can forget that happening.
Bank it - it's gonna happen. Google is your friend for searches.
I'm out.
It needs twice the power because that is what a full ICS load needs. Nook and Fire are slimmed down versions of Android so quad will be overkill. I would guess google would be selling this for a loss but I don't know.
What? Who in the world would want ANYTHING made in the US? Personally, I'd rather have something that.. you know, WORKS.
Comparing HP to space is wrong FYI. Processor to HP would be a better comparison. By that comparison, most sports cars have 2 seats (less space) and more HP (better processor.)
Stop forcing me to agree with you. Please?And Apple's BtS offer ends on September 21, 2012.
They won't do that because then shoppers will see the iPad display and realize then can spend a couple hundred bucks more and get a real tablet.

Buy American means the Nexus tab would cost $1200 due to the unions that have destroyed manufacturing in this country due to their greed.
Whatever. To most shoppers, an iPad vs. a Nexus would be a big tablet vs. a small one, and they'll treat it as such.
2 years old but still being sold at retailers (in Brazil at least) and costs more than an entry level Galaxy Tab. So the Google tablet will cost a lot less but has better specs.
