I got it through an Amazon-Fulfilled seller so the return should be fine. I had about a 10 second freak out when I saw that price though. I can't believe this thing is launching with that price.

I literally just bought a Galaxy Nexus off-contract online Sunday thinking the off-contract price for this wouldn't be south of at least $500. Wow. Surely I can return it...

There's a precedent for Google working with a manufacturer to take one of there existing designs and Nexus it. Nexus One, S, and to a degree the Galaxy Nexus were models of non-Nexus devices from that manufacturer. Particularly the Nexus S, which was basically a Galaxy I with a curve.

It's very ugly. Why can't they just do a 10" version of the Nexus 7?

Why is it that the ghosts in all these stories just want to fuck with us? And even if they do, how lame, ghost-from-the-example-story. If you were the ghost in the example, what would compel you to just move random things around a room? DO SOMETHING CRAZY. I got an idea, ghost: Show up at the Romney concession speech…

Amazon has been piling money into expanding their distribution network. Bring on the sales tax/same-day shipping trade-off.

Well I just did some digging and might be kinda wrongish, a little.

Currently, it's just a line of Android phones with the actual Nexus branding owned by Google. Google chooses a manufacturer to work with and they develop a Nexus phone. They're pretty much Google's opinion of what Android should look like at that time (no manufacturer skins) and they're almost exclusively updated…

Eating dinner with a friend, I sent the following message to another friend:

I liked this review. It looks like a shell of what might become a good tablet once the ecosystem fills out, but fails as anything more than that. You don't give a tablet that might one day become a competent version of what we already have a good score.

If you're 16g wifi iPad 3 is in excellent condition, amazon will still give you $365 for it.

That was a close game in the 4th yesterday. I would have loved to have seen how it would have turned out if the pass interference on Murphy had been called. Certainly wouldn't have guaranteed them anything, but would have put them within 20 yards of a potential game winning field goal. Then, hey, Panthers beat the…

I'd suggest selling both and getting a 32 GB Nexus 7 if the size doesn't bother you.

I've been trying to transition to consuming the NFL through NFL Rewind starting late Sunday night through Wednesdayish because of this bs. If one of the games I want to watch is on in the early games, then I might watch it, but its always a bit of a risk because I'd like to stay ignorant to a couple other games on at…

Maybe it's just my Nexus 7ed eyes, but isn't that 4:3 ratio looking a little weird in the small tablet category? It looks hard to hold in portrait.

So are we close to having external gpus and docks that increase processing power? I envision a world where I can come home, place my tablet in a doc that adds a gpu and maybe more ram, and play a game.

It's just for syncing document saves and minor web browsing when you're not near wifi. It shouldn't be used as the primary connection.

"Now, could someone tell me where are we going to get the power?"

I'll have to give the html5 website a shot. I would greatly mis Spotify's UI and great offline feature.

Blerg. I had that $3 a month plan, but it was attached to a checking account I didn't use anymore and wanted to close. Since you can't swap out pay options without restarting your pay agreement ("how conveeeenient", I snarked), I had to cancel.
