With the release of the limited edition, I'm a little left in the dark about what was said and seen earlier year. Anyone at Goggle I/O that can get some answers would be great.
1. Will the production edition be released with any SD card (mircoSD, SD, etc) or USB (standard USB, Micro USB) support? None are available on the limited edition.
2. We see the limited edition released with the Tegra2? Will the standard GT10 have the Tegra2 or another CPU?

I remember a presentation earlier in the year that said the screen would be a PLS screen. Reports are coming that the limited edition is just a LCD screen.

This is the second post I've seen mentioning this. A PLS screen IS an LCD screen. I'm not sure I follow the concern, unless you're referring to something that specifically referred to it as NOT bing PLS, or being plain old TFT, or something like that.
Ok, I see that there is a TFT LCD and a PLS LCD (IPS type). I have removed that question.
PLS is a type of LCD TFT screen. For more information - use Wikipedia.
unknown_owner said:
Ok, then so LCD = PLS screen?

No, but PLS = LCD. PLS is a sub-type of an IPS screen, which is a type of LCD screen. And no, the Zoom doesn't have a PLS screen. PLS is a Saumsung technology. I don't believe the Zoom is even IPS. I think it's just plain old TFT (perhaps TN?).
No one seems to have an answer for the SD or USB debate. I thought I wait for this but I think its time to just get a xoom.
From what I heard here at IO, the only limited thing about the tablet is the back. Samsung is expecting to go to market with the current hardware specs including no SD card and no USB.

Yeah it can run TV apps. I think if the 10.1 is such a disappointment then I'm heading straight to the Asus.
I'm definitely in the same camp. It doesn't make sense to me to release a tablet at this point without an SD slot.. This just seems like a huge omission. I may have to set up some alerts on nowinstock.net alerts for the ASUS..

That's not going to happen for me any time soon.
Close to 300GB of music
And, yes I do own most of it in CD.
personally can't see the need to store tonnes of media directly on my tablet all of the time, got around 5Tb shared over wifi at home and i'm never away from home long enough to need more than a decent (couple of gig) music play list and a couple hours of video on my portable at any one time.

But there's no way that's a "plain jane" TN TFT, because they show pictures of it at some fairly extreme angles, and it holds the image quality fine. We can't tell if it's PLS, but PLS is essentially a type of IPS, and IPS is essentially a type of TFT, which is a type of LCD. Even if it's "just" IPS, IPS is still good... that's what's on the Ipad2, and on the Transformer. Based on those pictures, I'd say it's at least IPS. From what I've read, it sounds like PLS is only marginally better than most other IPS panels. But it's also cheaper to make, so it's in Samsung's interest to use a PLS screen, if they have PLS screens of that size ready.
In the end, I wouldn't worry about it... the pictures speak for themselves. It holds its image quality even at wide angles, regardless of the letters used to describe the panel.

Somewhere I heard that battery is not replaceable and no primary camera, only a 2.1 front facing camera, so nexus 7 is not a good option if u are a tablet enthusiast..

Why would you buy any sort of tablet with the intention of taking photos? A phone would be better, but if you want to take good photos just buy a real camera.

Exactly. I can understand wanting an all in one device, but a tablet should never be considered something to be taking high-quality photos on the move. A cell phone or mirrorless DSLR is a much better option, in my opinion.

I want to know abt these points about GOOGLE NEXUS 7 from the owners:
1. Any WiFi issue when screen locked. Shouldn't be, my GNexus has none.
2. Does home screen can be used in Landscape mode. Maybe on stock launcher. If not, install Apex or Nova, they look almost identical to stock but have cutomizing features.
3. Any Flickering screen issue. I expect no. Just because it seems like a poor way to launch a product.
4. Apps getting disappered. Again, unlikely. JB is rock solid from my experience.
5. Actual storage available in 16gb version. My 16GB GNex has 13.33GB available in stock JB, probably about that much.
6. HDMI Support? Likely through micro USB w/ an adapter. May be a mini HDMI slot though.
7.MHL Adapter? I don't know what that is.
8. Can be used to make phone calls (as Samsung Tablet 7)? With skype or some other app, but otherwise I expect no as it's a wifi and not cell network device.

Answers above in bold.
And concerning no rear camera, you'll look like an idiot taking pictures with that thing. Like a laptop, all you need on a tab camera wise is a FFC, they're too big and unwieldy to use as a camera.

Please say it's so!! Has this been confirmed by users who have tried it? Can't ask anymore of a $200 device, and I've been smitten with it since day one, but USB storage recognition would be the cherry on top of this Nexus Sundae ;-) If not I guess I could always try streaming from my phone or my home network via es file explorer if all else fails.

I am pretty certain that you would not need to underoot, even. I believe (and please correct me, aficionados, if I am wrong), the Nexus as a 5th low voltage processor that works when no intensive tasks are being performed, thus increasing battery life.

This apparently is not accurate. There is a Mic, but the right speaker/mic combination needs to be used and a lot of apps don't apparently work while a few do.
Chances are, there will need to be some updates on this, most likely on the app side to get this to work properly. One would think that the credit card swipe devices would test it and tweak their apps to work. Think that using a smart phone might be a better choice since it has 3G/4G data and the Nexus 7 doesn't and would require a network connection to transmit the data though. Dont need a lot of size to do a credit card transaction.
So not to dis on the Nexus 7 at all but as a Photographer myself I would think you'd be better off with one of the Transformers for something like this. I just have a TF101 but its got a nice big screen and probably more than enough battery power with the keyboard dock for you to play with for a full day. Something like the higher resolution models out now would be even better.
The way I shoot weddings or even in the studio, it would be insanely cumbersome to move the subject, adjust the tripod and go to the tablet to take the pictures. I would end up using it mostly for previews. If you just want previews, since you have a camera with an SD slot, I'm pretty sure you're life would be MUCH easier just using a Eye-Fi card that syncs with the Nexus / Tablet by dropping JPG's into the gallery for you as you shoot (keeping the RAW's on the actual card assuming you shoot RAW).
The other thing to keep in mind with the Nexus 7 in your grand scheme of things is it is a really bad choice for displaying your portfolio due to the lack of on board storage and screen size. On a 10 inch table a landscape image looks small but barely passable in portrait and visa versa, on a 7 inch I wouldn't even consider it passable and would need to format portrait or landscape portfolios = more work for me!
Last but not least, just use your phone for CC transactions, it's always with you and always has a network connection and stuff like Square should just work without having to Jerry Rig anything.
Not trying to change your mind on anything, just some insight form a like minded photographer. Honestly with the exception of the Eye-Fi for previews by the time you mash together a workable solution you'll probably hate having to set everything up and find yourself working around a new set of self imposed limitations rather then doing what photographers like to do, taking good pictures.

Hello to all people,
I've been reading quite a lot lately about (android) tablets because I want to buy one at last.
I managed to shrink my options to 2: Nexus 10 and Asus Transformer Pad Infinity.
After hard digging about the Infinity in the forums I decided to drop it and go with Nexus 10.
One of the reasons I want a tablet is to make a streamer on the go from it...
I want to connect it to my TV with a HDMI cable to stream some movies.
But from tons of the reviews I read, I only noticed one review mentioning the quality and stability of the streaming. And It wasn't positive.
So I am asking you guys (and girls), what's your experiences on using the tablet this way?
Sorry for my poor English, its not my native language.
Thank you in advance for your answers,
Leon.
HDMI streaming works good. The picture quality is great; however, I do not get any audio through HDMI. This might be a cable issue. Not a big deal since you can output audio through the audio jack.

Well that's why I said I am choosing Nexus 10 over the Asus one... You are not the only one who suffered, and I read most of the complains people wrote.
I have other question though.
Since I lack the experience on the issue:
How does optical audio cable can be used with an HDMI cable to stream audio from the first and video from the second?
Asking because I have a receiver connected to my 5.1 audio set.
Does work, but mine struggles with higher bitrate 1080p movies over wifi.
There are bars but these may be able to be removed if you get rid of the 3 quick buttons at the bottom, not sure if this is possible with custom software.
Not quite sure what you mean by this comment:

Couldn't agree more. I tried out a TF700 from Amazon for a month, and during that period I had to exchange once from Amazon for a defect in the screen, then send the replacement in for warranty repair because of the same problem. Got it back from warranty 'repair' and it had the same problem in a different location of the screen. Returned them both to Amazon and bought a Nexus 10 from the Play store on launch day.
Couldn't be happier.
I was also amused that the rep claimed they had no prior reports of the screen/bezel problem, when the TF700 threads on here are filled with posts about it. And of course, if you've unlocked your bootloader (using the tool they provide) you have absolved them of any responsibility to repair manufacturing defects that passed through 'quality control' at their factory.

Tried it but doesn't work with my rooted Nexus 10. The screen flashes and stays on instead of turning off.
I connected the Nexus 10 to my TV:
- stereo audio is ok
- bad picture quality (its resizing)
- big black borders at the left and right side
- wrong frame rate on TV - movies look very bad
for me its a no go. Its absolutely not worth it.
I think it certainly must be possible as toslink is digital audio and hdmi outputs digital audio as well. I don't think any conversion would be needed so all you need is someone who makes the cables and takes the audio pinouts from the hdmi and routes them to a toslink cable as well. Unfortunately there isn't exactly a massive demand for such a cable so either find someone who makes the cables or maybe trawl the hi-fi websites to see if anywhere would sell them.

The Nexus 7 does not support HDMI, MHL, or any type of direct connect video out, period. The microUSB port can be used for USB OTG duties: keyboards, mice, USB Flash memory devices, even USB hard drives if necessary, but not any form of video output.

Actually I did, I've been eyeing the Nexus 7 for a couple of months, reading up on it and looking at reviews. However I never read about HDMI out on it until it occurred to me today.
A reasonable question posted on XDA sometimes receives snarky responses. Not all of them are with ill intent, but this (XDA forums) isn't the most friendly environment. That little ribbing was quite nice though

Well that's quite interesting and I'll be the first to admit when I'm apparently wrong - I'd never seen that video before but it is quite obvious there's some video out going on, and even if it's just mirroring it would still be better than the "nothing" we currently have with the N7. Hell, my laptop has a 1280x800 screen in it so it's a perfect match when I remote in with the N7 anyway... would be nice to do things the other way around.

After watching that full intro video I'm suspecting what they had there was a modified Nexus 7 just for that capability, aka a demo testing unit, but who knows what's possible at this point.
I'd suspect if Google has intentions of a new Nexus 7 "upgraded version" sometime this year - that's the big hope, of course - that perhaps we'll see some extra goodies thrown in for good measure.
But when you really take the big view of things I don't think we'll see a Nexus 7 updated with a) any form of expandable storage (sadly), b) a back camera, c) a video/MHL/HDMI capable output, and d) a change in screen resolution.
If you watch that intro video they are very specific and precise in stating they wanted to make a "perfect content consumption device" and if all you do with the Nexus 7 is "consume content" that means it's going to remain basically as it is right now, perhaps with optional models for more storage (64GB will probably be the max), and they may even stick with Nvidia for a Tegra 4 version, I don't know but I can speculate pretty readily given what we do know from the current 1st gen Nexus 7 models and what Nvidia has announc--errr, leaked about the Tegra 4 so far.
Yes, I do love this tablet, but also yes I wish it did just a tiny bit more in some respects like the ones I pointed out above. I wish the dock pins supported actual data transfer instead of just being charge-and-audio-out capable, but that's just me I suppose.
Regardless, considering I paid $25 for this Nexus 7 of mine, believe me I'm one damned happy camper these days, especially with 4.2.2 now out and battery life even better on the stock kernel if I want it.
Allowing data over the pogo pins would lead to mass corruption. Some dope tries to pogo a rom, bumps their device, done.

As if you can't have a kid (if you have any) or a pet (as if you have any) or you yourself can do some idiot move and rip a microUSB cable out of the device when you're doing the very same thing?

They could mirror their nexus 7 display because it had hdmi out on their unit. They didn't add this feature on the nexus 7 because this would raise the price of the nexus 7.

Just get a MK802 and flash CyanogenMod on it.

MK808 is much faster. Highly recommended! Plays games like a boss.
However there is no video out capabilities on the N7 in a last ditch effort to shave off costs.
They are working on wifi streaming... but nothing yet.
