I'd like to thank Google's Shipping Department (my receipt says "Shipped 7/11/12", UPS knew of the shipping label being printed on 7/12/12, but UPS didn't receive the package until 7/15/12 - The UPS Shipping Saga has been told already on G+) and the fine folks at UPS for making this a much more complicated and lengthy process than it needed to be. Well done!
First impressions:
Noticeably lighter than the Kindle Fire, it's closest competitor by price (blows the Fire away by feature)
Video playback is very nice - seems smoother than the Kindle Fire, but I haven't run the same video side by side at this point to confirm.
The built in ebook reader increases font size in really really small increments. This can be good if you are looking to make small adjustments, but a real PITA if you are looking to move from default to really large font type.
Screen is a fingerprint magnet.The Nexus 7 feels really nice in the hands. Nice, secure grip type feel.
The Google Now feature is interesting. Weather, NYC Bus schedule for the local stop, a local Argentinean Restaurant I had overlooked complete with Zagat ratings. Like I said, interesting
Already has a system update.
More after playing with it ;)
Looking forward to a performance review! I'm in the market for a second tablet, and this is on my "investigate" list.
ReplyDeleteI recieved mine yesterday! Not had a chance to have a proper play with it yet, but I'm fairly impressed so far. Look forward to what you have to say about it.
