Android 4.2 may be a bit buggy at the moment for Nexus devices, but it doesn’t dampen our hopes that our smartphones will be able to rock the new Android OS in the future. After all, everyone loves keeping up to date if possible, and since the updates are free, we certainly want it to keep coming.
ASUS is an Android device manufacturer that focuses more on the tablet side of the business. While they do offer a smartphone on their list in the form of the Padfone, it is still marketed as part phone, part tablet. The company is definitely so good at making them that Google made them their partner in making the Nexus 7.
If there is a company that must absolutely make sure 4.2 arrives on their devices, it would be ASUS. Why is that? Android Jelly Bean 4.2 brings a very special tablet specific feature that will make these ‘PC and Laptop replacements’ even better in what they do. What am I talking about? I am talking about the Multi-user support introduced in the latest version of Android.
After all, one very important feature of shared PC is the ability to set multiple user profiles on the device to allow each user to personalize their experience with the device. This is obviously a factor that is useful for a shared tablet, which has all the potential use cases of a multimedia PC.
The ASUS Transformer tablets will also greatly benefit from the new tablet interface which improves upon a tablet’s notification and navigation capabilities. Google had a good run with the Honeycomb style interface, but it was deemed that people liked the top down notification bar system better.
The new Miracast integration also makes the Transformer tablets an even better tool in making presentation and sharing them to your peers or coworkers and even in school. This, along with several UI element improvements make the 4.2 update something to really look forward to.
It seems that ASUS doesn’t want to make us wait too long. According to an ASUS customer representative, the company is already working on the 4.2 update for their transformer series. Hopefully, the update won’t take too long, but they are welcome to take a reasonable amount of time to fix the various bugs that Nexus devices seem to have with the update at launch. After all, we don’t want our neo-PCs crashing and rebooting during a very important presentation or while in the middle of making a document.

FINALLY an official post by Asus.. And we finally know the news! I can't wait for it. What about you?
Yea, I'm sure Asus will release the update to every single Transformer except the TF101...

Well, as they said "the ASUS Transformer Series".. TF101 is in the TF series too. And this time they're talking about the Jelly Bean 4.2, not 4.1 so I think they will release it for the TF101 too.

Yeah, but as no one found it, I posted it on here.
I woudn't get my hopes up. It's not a post from Asus nor is it official, the best you get is "According to an ASUS customer representative" and we all know what that means... Asus themselves are officially still quiet on the subject, which suggests they simply want to ignore the issue Sucks because this tablet still outperforms a lot of newer ones.
I don't think either that Asus will update the Transformer to 4.2, from what we've seen from them even the transformer prime should remain in 4.1. Either way it would be buggy as hell, the previous updates of the transformer were far from optimised (and that's an euphemism).

Asus could give me Android 7.0 and I wouldn't give a Damn unless it makes my device usable again. They screwed up a long time ago and never cleaned up their mess for many of us.

If you search back, you will see this is an old post that ASUS has clarified to say every tf series BUT the 101. Before you post something labeled official, check it out. I want JB as much as most other people , but ASUS is not going to invest another dime on the TF 101. We have been abandonded by ASUS. I for one have abandonded them as a result.
Asus really needs to have better control over their PR people. Yes this addresses transformer series but in reality its only tegra 3 devices. Asus would not go through the trouble of porting it to tegra 2 asus transformer series.
Xoom is already on Jellybean (tegra 2 device).
This is what you get when you buy android without official google involvement...a real mess
Guys you need to realise something about Android, or, shall I say, any Android device you ever buy.
ALWAYS be happy with the Software your device comes with. Do not think "oh, it'll be better with an update". Be sure that the software your device arrives with will make you happy for the next 2 years. And if an update does come, then great, but don't be dissapointed if it doesn't.
if we see this update it won't be for atleast a year

Many of us were happy, but Asus broke many of our devices with one of their updates and we've had expensive paper weights ever since.

Man, there's a lot of butt hurt in this thread. 4.2.1 is a quick flash away. The asus roms aren't that stable that I've missed being shackled to them. Jellybean and an overclocked kernel has tripled the performance of my tablet over the honeycomb software it originally came with.
ASUS, like Google, have pretty spotty customer service but they make some great stuff. I love my tablet and I'll be buying ASUS for a long time to come.

:good: I understand there is people unhappy with Asus and their TF, but I couldn't be happier with it, using it for several hours a day since I bought it. And the cooked ROMs out there really work great, for me at last :fingers-crossed:
Thread Closed
First off, there is NO official word from Asus getting JB.
Secondly, as most of us know, there will always be rumors abound posted on many obscure blogs. Get used to it.
Finally, threads like this only fuel the fire for people who are dissatisfied with their device. Next will be full scale flaming ways, as I see it's already starting.
So in the essence to avoid such conflict, Thread Closed before it starts.

I've had my Galaxy Note for over a month now and, so far, it has been a enjoyable (albeit with some admitted flaws) experience. The battery bug, which I have yet to solve, still doesn't really impend my usage and I still manage to last through the day with minimal usage. The brick bug is one my kernel suffers from, but I am confident on Samsung soon releasing a solution and also have no plans to reset or wipe data any time soon so I should be safe. If it worries you that much, a decent amount of reading and then simply changing kernels properly can solve the issue. The Galaxy Note is a one of a kind device and it feels my desire for both a great phone and a great tablet.
On an off-note, what are the chances of us getting Jelly Bean now that it's been slated for a mid-July release?

I think brick bug has top priority.
First we will get bug free ICS 4.0.3
Then in Q4 2012 or probably Q1 2013 Sammy would roll out ICS 4.0.4
It will take 2-3 months more to fix bugs in ICS 4.0.4
So in Q3 or Q4 of 2013 we will get (buggy, unstable) Jelly Bean.
haters gonna hate, D1ckheads are everywhere, in your town, in your work, on the roads, even here on XDA, Just dont take them on !!
as for JB, I think its possible we might get it, The hardware can easily run it, However if we dont get it official, We will deffo get it ported

When the updated fix for the brick bug comes, will it be safe to update as to update we will have to wipe data which is a danger to us with the brick bug, no?

It's very unlikely that the Note will get Jelly Bean in the near future. Since samsung is more focused on pushing out the update to the S3 and building the Note 2, I doubt we'll get it in a timely manner. Maybe towards the end of the year.
Now when this update comes their will be.more bugs so why do ppl go so crazy about updates lol now if it deffo would fix the battery issues and the hangs my phone does time to time great. Let me stress that those who are rooted and be flashing roms left right and centre seem to be having major issues lol its like stoppppp!

I'm very happy it's my note. Sure there are flaws, many in fact but overall it's a great device.
What you have now on your Notes is what you get,all of you are day-dreaming if you think even for a one single moment that there is going to be another official FW upgrade for our NOTEs.
Cause this is a freakin, FORUM. People bring ISSUES, problems, things their frustrated with to a FORUM.

I have to agree with you. After using Huawei's U8800 for about a year or so, SGN is like a dream come true. The official ICS ROM is really good, haven't really had any issues at all (haven't even had an urge to test any custom ROMs since I updated my phone to the official ICS...It's just so darn GOOD). And even the stock launcher is pretty good...It's not TW5 but it's still all good.
I went to look at the s3 today in a shop, not cost I'm thinking of buying, just to see.
Yes its pretty, yes its quite smooth and snappy and I much prefer touchwizz ux, plus the display quality is a little more refined and the screen is smudge proof to a certain extent.
BUT... it still doesn't come close to the presence of the note, this screen despite its flaws is truly unbeatable for an everyday experience, and with a custom vanilla ics installed it just sends it to another level.
I love my note, I won't even consider trading it in until the note 2 or another worthwhile competitor enters the market.

Most complaints are generated by people complaining about people who complain about aspects of thier handset, so those who complain about those who are complaining, themselves become complainers. Then those who originally complained about issues with their smart phones start complaining about those who complained about them complaining in the first place. We then get a debate about if the original complaint was just a mere comment that appeared to be a complaint. Then someone will complain that the original complainer wasn't complaining just stating an opinion, then someone will complain that it wasn't an opinion but a complaint. Complainers will then complain that people who are doing all the complaining spoil the thread. Then the whole thing starts to get complicated when someone complains about whining, now this is really not on, because we now have so may complainers on the thread, we have no idea who is being accused of whining, so someone will now start whining a complaint about the person who complained about those who where whining about complainers. The whining about complainers, and complaints about whining continue for about, 30 pages or until the battery runs out in the smart phone that was complained about in all the whining.
That is why we have so many complainers and whiners.
btw watch out for the sneaky whiner who thanks a complainer. :laugh:
Amen
1 People have nothing to do and 2 complaining is easy and releases tension, but causing it to for others. Smile therapy is better :-D

Will Samsung's Brick Bug solution do the job?
To all my seniors,
Being super bricked and resurrected after losing 3GB eMMC space, will the impending Samsung Brickbug fix recover that 3 GB lost space for my Note too? If it does, i am ready to wait for it, otherwise i am gonna recompense my loss by burning down one of Samsung Service Centres
Oops here goes another complaint

If that's your plan of action, I would recommend doing it now, rather than waiting. The price of oil has dropped considerably over the last few months, you could make a huge saving on gasoline and do a really good job.
Just realised I have not complained whined or whinged, but provided helpful consumer advice. You should all be grateful. :laugh:

Hmm depending on the reviews i might have to pick one up
Trying to decied between this and nexus 7 acer has sd slot but nexus has good dev support hmmm
If I want the phone interface, I'll pick up my phone. If this thing gets decent dev support and tablet mode, I'll look into it.
nexus 7 owner
i OWN Both acer a500 and nexus 7 tablet
As a nexuz 7 tablet owner i would strongly suggest you wait until someone other then asus /google makes a tablet. the asus nexus 7 is plegued with issues like screen not seated and loose to cracking with out reason. software issues . not to mention its strange symlink os because of lack of storage no sd card slot..
get something from a company with better products would be my suggestion.. google and asus together is a mess..

i still love my acer a500 its has some software flaws but with the bootloader from this forum and the roms its a awesome machine..
sent two nexus back with screen issues and still waiting to see if im going to get a refund or new device not a word from google or asus in two weeks they have had my device back for 30 days..
just my opinion im sure others have better experience .. good luck on your decision.. we will love you either way ..

^ Disregard this nonsense.
I've been using the Nexus 7 since July 23rd and it's flawless. Everyone I know who purchased one has found it flawless. SOME early ones had issues, but they're on their 4th production run now and the small issues a few people had have been addressed.
With the Nexus you are assured Android updates as soon as Google makes them. And a pure Android experience, too.
With Acer (yes, I have an A500, too), you're assured of slow updates, missing features, and bloat. You'll maybe get one major update, then you're on your own.

im thinking we will have to disagree about the issues being fixed. That is far from the truth.. people in large numbers are still reporting issues with then 90 build. The screen lift is not as bad from what i have been reading. Since ASUS is now leaving some of the bezel screws out on the left side of the device.The good side is now its easy to get one in your had as there is less demand on it. But getting a replacement can take a month or longer. There are several new post just this morning about screen lift issues Dead spots on the digitizer Yellow splotches appearing on the screen and so on..
I am so very happy that you got a perfect one. There are people who are 100 % happy and satisfied with there NEXUS 7 TABLET. The issues is not a first one production issue its a design flaw where they weakened the bezel on the left side to make room for the digitizer connector..
The biggest issue is that the google play store is not set up to sell hardware. This is where people are being charged 2-3 times for one device dealing with refunds . Its been the worse ever purchase of anything for me.
Yes im kinda impartial on this message because i have had two bad exchanges and a bad original device. NOW i have both sent back and still waiting to see if im going to get a REFUND. i told them I Do not want another pleagued device.. I will get a note 10.1 im thinking. Thou i wanted a 7 inch device..
This is just my opinion of the device From the reading i have been doing on many forums. Yours could be different and is equally respected ..

Well, your anecdotal experiences are not indicative of the Nexus 7 buyer experience as a whole. Venturing out from the forums, you'll find most users are extremely satisfied with the tablet. Forums are generally filled with people looking for a place to gripe and a sympathetic ear.

Personally, after having my a501, im convinced that acer have somehow managed to go backwards from the bad old 90's days of horrible build quality and support for their laptops... Asus or Sammy for my next tablet easy.

i would agree that people who have issues seek out the forums to not really complain. but to consult and discuss there issues and experience with others. Just as some people seek out the forums to try and knock down people for there experience..
I think the nexus is a perfect size the development is stronger then it will likely be on other devices because its a nexus and from google direct so to speak.But perfect its not..
and yes i know the one here is a acer .. sorrry i did not mean to make this thread a nexus bash or not thread.. I think the acer looks nice and if it has micro usb port is a added benefit.. the big question of course with acer is the Boot- Loader.. will it be like the a500 or like the a200.
Does anyone have any information about rather the a 110 will be locked or not .?
Is it true the a110 has FM radio. For me this would be the deal breaker since I am looking for an incar solution

I know its coming, I will just sit here and wait for ubuntu roms for this phone.
Zedomax did made a port of Ubuntu to our nexus s you can check it out on YouTube
I'll wait with you mate..

Just checking in/getting in line. Saw a demo at Engadget and the OS looks really promising. Hope a dev can optimize it for the NS.
Waiting
I just hope they can get it working for the NS4G. I might waiver an upgrade for that one.
Very interested in this as well. Looking forward to giving it a run.

I hope that they will get it to work, but i think we might have good chances to see a rom since you can use the Android drivers (thats what i've read). So lets hope

I think there's a good chance NS will get ubuntu, but my question is how will it run? Most likely I'll have my N4 well before we ever see an ubuntu rom for NS4G, especially. I think sprint is going to put canonical through the ringer when it comes to getting binaries integrated, and it may never happen, because sprint doesn't want us flashing our cdma device. They are perfectly happy having us stay at ota firmware for the life of the device, whether it's activated or not. Google has a hard enough time getting sprint to release timely updates, and android DOMINATES the smartphone market. Ubuntu is really going to be a crapshot with cdma, methinks
Honestly, my opinion is to get a GSM nexus device if you want ubuntu for phone and you don't already own one....otherwise you may never see a build. Not one that actually utilizes the binaries to get a functioning phone and mobile data, at least
I think I should add that I would love to run ubuntu on any/every device I can get my hands on. I'm admittedly and openly an android fanboy...I know it....but ubuntu for phone could just bea the firmware os that makes me ditch android!! The thought of all my devices, including my PC all being able to sync every single app and piece of data is enough to make this uber-nerd's knees buckle. I recently switched to ubuntu full time. I don't even have a windows 7 partition on my pc anymore, and I haven't used windows 7 for more than 5 minutes on someone else's desktop in the ~4 months since I switched. It's been the best few months of my computer-related life!! I'm actually learning how to use a computer, rather than letting the computer use me lol
looks promising... I wish this os will make battery phones much longer than android
Ubuntu.
I think they are talking about this ubuntu youtube.com/watch?v=sLtcj7FdIYA
I think I should mention the following, since it relates to whether Nexus S will get ubuntu or not.....
What we need:

What we have:
It requires an arm cortex-9 cpu.....nexus s runs arm cortex-8. looks like once again, Nexus S will be getting the shaft. Get used to it, though.....it's not going to get any better for us. Nexus S is a dead device.....people don't give a rat's ass about us anymore, it seems It's amazing to me that the N1 got such a long life of support. They got every single android version up until ICS launched.....but as soon as Nexus S falls two generations behind it gets dropped like a bad habit. You know what NS got??? About 15 GB updates, one ICS, and it barely even made it to JB by the skin of its teeth. Google didn't even comment on whether we'd be getting it or not until the last second because they didn't want to give it to us at all.
It just seems to me like all any manufacturer cares about anymore is making people buy new devices. No companies give the slightest crap about what the customer wants anymore, and it's just sad. There's absolutely no reason NS4G couldn't have at least gotten 4.2 just to keep it up to par with the gsm NS, at least.
I do not want to be a retrograde, but I think the smartphone market is faster than our money. The phones go on and you have not even finished paying for your new mobile phone that is already the most powerful. We are the victims of war competition with people who do not care about the customers. Android then lately is worse off. Mobile phones are more powerful then use that usually makes an average consumer. To run the most used applications do not need 2 gb of ram and quadcore processors. This is not to say that I do not attract smartphones like the Nexus 4 ...
I could be wrong, but I think Ubuntu os will run on Nexus s as it spins in a good Android 4.2.1 and thanks to XDA developers and Cyanogenmod.
Cannonical website do say that it's develloped for dual-core devices.... our phone having outdated (compared to minimal specs) single core processors, I fear we'll never have a trully good experience...
if you remember well, someone ported ICS on nexus 1.
it was not fast or smooth, but they done it.
I'll hope that someone could make the same "miracle" with ubuntu.
Maybe it will bot be a daily-use ROM, but, at least, we could try it.

Dual core is just for the "good" devices single core arm 9 is the lowest specs a phone should have! But maybe someone will get it working on our arm 8!
Even a port would be great! I'd love to try it out

There comes a point in time when a manufacture has to move on. Nexus S with 4.2 is slow as hell and laggy and trips over its own feet most of the time. 4.1.2 was pretty much the same story. Most were surprised it even got Jellybean in the first place as we were calling this phone slow and outdated on ICS. It's two years old.. In technology that equals about 20 years. I'm nearing the end of my two year contract on this phone and can't wait to move my phone plan off it. I honestly never use it except for a phone anymore as my Nexus 7 is my work horse. The only way to enjoy this handset is get something light like RasBean and don't load it up with persistant apps.. CM 10.1 is complete joke on it and I honestly think they're wasting their resources developing for this phone still. Just my opinion.
It's a legendary device and labored on far longer in active development than it should have.

then you need to check your settings, tweaks, kernel, etc. I'm getting amazing performance from 4.2!! ICS was a little slow, but 4.1 jb fixed all of that. I had some problems with vanilla, untouched aosp but when I started tweaking it and got a good solid kernel installed, everything was as it should be. If it can be done with roms, kernels and tweaks available to me on this website, it should be able to be done by the aosp team.....i'm just saying....
Its been a great phone and it was my first android phone. I loved it so much and is still loving it. But despite all my support to android. I have realized in the last two years that due to many OEMs and multi rage of android phones. The vendors are unable to update them regularly. Each OEM is just busy making new phones and they never focus on timely updates and keep the devices deprived from their functionality.
In the past I was not too supportive to most custom rom devs but it was only because of the stability issues. But now i have realized that it was they who actually did their best to make the devices as updated as possible.

Well, that's true, with a few minor modifications. The S1 isn't using an Exynos 4 SoC, but a Hummingbird (Exynos 3) which is a friendlier SoC to work with (that I've read at least), so the S1 developers haven't had the hair pulling experience with that one, like the devs have had here. The Note is still powerful for what it is, but that doesn't mean squat when it's not even possible to get everything working right. The Note is a dog with two broken legs. It walks, but it can't run like it should do.
I'm leaving the Note on Monday for the Z Ultra (yey!), and it'll be exciting to have a brand new, just released device again! So see you, suckaz! Okay, I'm joking. I'll still hang around here for a little while.

Well eaven if all devs move to other phones we still have the guys from CM, Slimbean, HellyBean and others like them who do not develop for the note just because they have the phone, they usually buy new phones but keep older ones for development aswell, so Note users are safe, it's one of the best dual-core around
I wonder if this guy is really this braindead or if it is just another google translate fail. Shall we vote?

its not dead it will reach end of support from Sammy. Its the lifecycle of phones, every quarter new gimmick, to sustain that pace, support lifecycles are shortened.
Yes the product will run for a couple of years longer. Which is why opening it up for communities from the start to carry the estafette past company support is vital. lol.
glad CM is making moves to do just that
I love this Note (thx Asylum) and could happily go another year on it.
Having said that, I need to go back to the HD2 days since I last had a 'top spec' phone, and the Note 3 is looking mighty tasty...

Oneupmanship
that's all it really boils down to one Oneupmanship, In my eyes there is not a phone to top the galaxy Note 1... it run just the way it was designed when new, you can change the rom's easy, loads of software, great people here who can help when in trouble... what more can one ask.
If you want speed then don't install crap filled with bloat wear,READ what is the best Rom's to use & I mean READ.
Just because your friends are getting the all dancing and singing new phone as seen on TV, don't mean you need the same one...
THINK for your self....... its still a PHONE in the end.:fingers-crossed:

Ya ur right crying because this phone deserved really more. Ensing it at this phase with a laggy stock rom will not be a justice to it. It can go a long way, but without official support it will slowly die. So its good to cry for what u love. I am not a new texh geek like u. I have been using this device for the last 2 years and like my older devices i have emotional stuff with it. So even if i switched, it will be with me

I work in a phone shop and I can state personally that the Note 1 is still a decent phone. I say that using CM10.2 which really gets the most out of it but the latest TW Rom's aren't bad either.
Feature wise the Note does the main things that everything else does to a good level, not like a Galaxy Ace. If you got the new Note everything is a little bit faster and better, but apart from the IR blaster (small addition) there isn't many outstanding new features that differentiate it from its original - for example something like a built in projector

Speed is open to interpretation. On paper the S600 on the HTC one or S4 in the shop are probably 4x faster (benchmarks) but in reality outside of gaming they load Facebook in 0.5 second compared to the Note's 2 second. No one is going to die because of that 1.5 seconds. Other apps on the Note load in near identical times so it's all down to whether you want the new technology rather than 'need'

Not necessarily. Remember, these amazon tablets have their own OS on them. It wont nearly be as easy or nice as our Nexus 7 tablets to root, and put on a custom ROM.

The 7" model matches prices with Nexus 7 and have a stronger SOC, but given the choice between native AOSP and FireOS I do not regret getting my N7 at all(not to mention the extra a month plus I had with N7 instead of waiting for HDX). I know you can root, unlock and flash custom ROM on Kindle too, but the process is harder and the dev community is definitely smaller. I will take a slightly inferior SOC for the ease of rooting/unlock/flash, the easy availability of factory images & the much larger dev community.
Without review we don't even know the quality of the screen yet, per Anandtech's review Nexus 7 have the best screen in any tablet available today hands down, unless Amazon sourced the same screen they would have a hard time beating it.

From the hands on photos/videos, it looks like the Kindle screens are very reflective.
My N7 screen is by a huge amount the best factory calibrated screen I had on any device/monitor with an average error of 2.6 dE2000.
Units really look good. I'm really glad to see some high quality tablets become really cheap and affordable. I've never owned a Kindle but I've owned a Nook and I'm assuming the setup is kind of the same with the rom. Dev support was really lacking especially later on. The Roms that were available were all buggy. They worked well enough for people like us but I couldn't hand it over to my mother to use daily.
The N7 is great in that my Mother can buy one and get pushed all the latest and greatest Android has to offer for a few years to come. That, in itself, is worth the difference to me.
Keep in mind these are the just the lowest memory models. So $229 for the 16gb which perfectly aligns it up with the N7. Even the 32gb is priced the same at $269. The good news is that they do offer a 64gb version and support AT&T and Verizon.
Good specs but I personally think the form factor is pretty ugly.

I did say later that I regarded the Kindle dev community as small, so I don't deny that. The size of Nexus devices' dev community is really unrivaled, especially for a tablet.
As already pointed out: I don't regret buying my Nexus 7 one bit because of the flexibility. I say flexibility because the Nexus 7 is not only a great average end-user tablet, but also a really great development tablet. You can buy one for 'ma and 'pa back home and keep the bootloader locked and everything stock, but you can also buy one for yourself, unlock the bootloader, and start flashing away. With all the development on the Nexus line, you have a billion options. Between my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7, I flash something new almost every day.
So to answer OP's question: no, I don't regret buying my Nexus 7. And I won't, ever. I prefer software options and flexibility rather than a slightly faster SoC in a locked, or at least less-open, environment.
There were already some rumors about snapdragon 800 when I bought my N7 but i got it anyway.
Their software sucks but it won't be that hard to install Cyanogen mod. However there's always a nexus advantage of software updates.
I'm with lots of others around here. As long as amazon works so hard to try and lock you into their ecosystem, I have no interest in a kindle fire.
The Kindle Fire HDX is no doubt impressive but I have moved away from Android tablets after owning both this and the previous Nexus 7. I think Android is great as a phone OS and with them being 5 to 6 inches, I don't have a particular need for a 7 inch tablet for school anymore. I am personally looking forward to the Nexus 5 and Surface Pro 2 which will be in a whole different caliber with Haswell i5, HD 4400, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, digitizer.
Only thing i'm even remotely jealous of is the offline caching of amazon prime content. I'd REALLY like that for other devices or netflix.
Development for Kindles have been terrible, I think they have two bootloader and both are locked or something, I'm sure I read that somewhere.
I believe that one of the problems with Kindle development were the lack of drivers related to TI OMAP basically being an EOL product and not as open as qualcomm which has CAF, etc. It may be different. There is of course still a boot loader to crack. I don't really care personally since I don't play games.

Does amazon have an andriod app for prime yet? The last time I tried I had to load up a flash browser to watch content.
Yea Amazon gets it money from profit from their store content and books. They have very high interest to keep users locked into their software. Even if eventually it gets unlocked and get CM, it still won't be a good as having official support. Eventually development will slow down. New Android updates will cease being available on it. It's a hack job in the first place. Not something you can let the wife or mom use.
Every time I jump out of the Nexus lineup, I regret it very badly.
With the N7, you'll get latest and greatest updates for years to come.
I hate downloading MP3s from Amazon and using their lame bloatware downloader.
Why would I want their tablet?...
