Kindle 2 better bring something to the table or that thing will run away with all Amazon's profits. The Offline Voice Recognition I have to see for myself though...if good that will be awesome. Wish this thing used a Phone Data Plan like the Note too.

Yes, I was just looking at this Google Nexus 7 release date, news and rumours | News | TechRadar

Will there ever come a day that Android will take the lead?¿?

I think I'm going to pre-order, it's cheap enough.

Okay, someone explain to me why it is £159? compared to $199?
Nevertheless it is the cheapest no compromise tablet, it almost beats the chinese tablets out of the market!!!

I just bought myself a Novo 7 Elf 2, it was delivered Tuesday and i'm very impressed with it so far.

But now i'm wondering whether i should return it under the distance selling regulations and spend a bit more for the Nexus 7.
Is the extra £40 worth spending (the Elf 2 was £120)..?

I have a few days to make up my mind.

Todays exchange rate (according to Travelex) $199 = £130 add 20% vat and you have £158

Well still 156 pounds, they are ripping us off the 2-3 pounds!

@NJDude,

What is the delivery time to Anchorhead?
Just asking because I live in the middle of nowhere as well, ha, ha.

Tablets have come a long ways! Started with a Nokia 800, then 5 more and now Googles' tablet. I am having fun again! B4A is GREAT! Thanks Erel.

Phone Arena just reported this only has 5.92GB of usable memory. I hate the way these manufacturers and carriers advertise the total all the time and forget to tell you there is nothing left over after all the extra junk. They are really pushing the cloud stuff and using data plans up for content you could store on the device lately too.

All devices need to come with a minimum 32GB actually available to use. Shoot I have 25GB in songs alone.

Check out this video Roger. Voice Recognition is looking good!

Nexus + Jelly Bean will defeat iPad :sign0060:

Yep - that would make it perfect!

You guys see the article yet showing this thing has a magnet sensor that works like the one in Blackberry? Should make for some cool cases.

Mine is on order from Google Play store (16GB version).
