I am in love with this tablet. It checks on pretty much everything that I'm looking for. But one thing is holding me back from jumping the gun on October 10..... the price.
550 for a 16gb and 600 for a 32gb sounds like a no brainer. But I feel that it's a no small pocket change to drop on a tablet. I know the screen is crazy good and the s pen makes it head and shoulders over what's currently available. But I keep on trying to justify the reasoning for the 600 price tag.
I believe the thing that I keep going back to is the lack of tablet optimized apps for Android. Don't get me wrong, I've been pro android since the htc hd2, and I been through my share of samsung devices (got the note 2, 1st day it launched) . But I also had the original galaxy tab 10.1 and chose to get it early and paid the premium for it. Then it seemed within less than 4 months, the price dropped and continued to do so. And even though it was great for consuming videos and browsing the web I felt like the majority of the apps just didn't either scaled properly to the 10.1 form factor, or they weren't as polished as the iPad apps are.
I waited last week, to see what Microsoft was going to do with their newly redesigned surface pro 2, but it failed to excite me unlike the new 10.1 note is doing. If I could dual boot jellybean and windows on the surface pro 2, i'd probably look into that.
Maybe things have changed for the better on the tablet side for Android apps. But i ultimately ended up giving the tablet to my grandfather so he could Skype his grandkids and watch football. I just want to see what you guys's reasons were for being excited and early adopters and paying the premium price for early adoption.
Thx for reading the lengthy post,
Eddie

Well for some, myself included, this is a luxury item and think the slight increase in price from last years model isn't that bad. For your money you would be buying the best tablet available (imo) and it will be quite the beast for your daily consumption, and it will also last for years. Its really a laptop without the keyboard that has much better battery life and is more portable in the scheme of things. I'm not a laptop person and rather a tablet for the things I want to do.Since Android is taking tablets serious these days its gotten and will be much better in the future since its proving to not be a niche item any longer. I'm really anxious to start seeing reviews in the next week or so in the meanwhile..... I guess you have some deciding to do and I just wanted to chime in.
I too am not a laptop person. I was taken back a little bit by the price when it was announced. I was hoping for the 32GB to be around $550. For me the extra $50 is ok for all the extras it comes with. But really what it boils down to is how much I use my current tablet.
My current tablet is the HP Touchpad with Cyanogenmod Android ICS installed. I am a desktop fanatic and was completely blown away by how much time I shifted from my desktop to the tablet. I am a news junkie and a Reddit.com reader so I get tons of use out of a device that is, in my opinion, perfectly set up for internet consumption.
All in all, I love the 10 inch tablet form factor and use it for hours every day so I feel the price is justified for me.
I really am liking the extra features that Samsung has added on top of Android, such as being able to run two apps side by side. After having the last two Transformers (Prime and Infinity) and having a ton of issues with their performance, this is will be the best premium tablet on the market, and that comes with a price. Sure you can get a laptop for that price, but if a tablet fits your needs better, it'll be hard to top this tablet. If you need to save some money, wait for the next Nexus device. If this tablet isnt in your budget, don't feel pressured to get the device. It is better to be straight financially than to stress over a luxury item.

Remember this has a card slot. You can buy a 16GB SD card for $10 so effectively you can get 32GB for 560. Not a bad deal when you consider the screen and CPU/GPU which are top-class and of course the S-pen.
Ultimately it all hinges on the S-pen. If that is useful to you I think this is an easy buy. If not you should probably look elsewhere, either the Nexus 10 or the iPad 4 .

i think even if the S-pen is bad, as long as that technology is in the tablet, you can use something like the bamboo FEEL by wacom to supplement the S-pen usage
This a premium product, it's going to be priced accordingly. I was honestly expecting $700, it's coming in under my expectations. This is a steal at this price.
No way am I paying 600$ for a tablet. This is just ridiculous. what are they thiniking

Just make sure you get a microSD card, as the note, and most phones and tablets in general, only have a microSD slot, not a full SD card slot.

I think that is a little high priced by mabe $50 bucks. I have owned dozens of android tablets since version 1.5 and I have a nexus 7 2013 edition. I am looking forward to this one would have liked at least 64gb. I also have an ipad 4 that is the 128gb version it was $799 plus $99 insurance plus $40 case plus tax = about a grand. I love the apps on ios but i know you can do more on android. I would like to see android tablet apps like iOS apps and 128gb and up android tablets to be able to install lots of apps on as apps are only instalable on internal memory. I know I overpaid for my ipad but I don't think the price would be far off with a comparable memory spec android tablet.
Thats why there are different specifications and different price points... To serve the masses..

The new kindle is also 8.9 inch screen, sd 800, awesome screen and ppi, and much cheaper. The coming nexus 10 will have great specs and a 10 inch screen and will be cheaper.

Where did you get price info for the tf701?? Because the tf700, at least at launch, was priced on par with the note 10, and that price didn't include the keyboard **** either, which case about $150 or so more.

I was researching and following the new Transformer tf701 for a bit and I think the consensus was that it would be $399 for just the tablet and $499 with dock for the base model but I'm not 100% on that and I think its unofficial...I could be wrong though

Saw this yesterday. Looks like the 7.7 appears to be on the way.
For those of you like me who have recently picked up the 7.0 plus... What are your thoughts on this? I am happy with my 7+ but the 7.7 is what I was originally waiting for.

Like you I was strongly attracted to the 7.7 when I was in the market to buy. At that time, no word when/if we'd get it here. And imports were $600 and up. Bought the Gt 7+ and have not looked back since.
Gotta say yes, the larger screen (not by much ), AMOLED quality (very nice) and slightly faster processor makes a very attractive package.
But....
Our community here is growing (not light speed but still), we have root and CWM (thanks gary9d), more than a few recognized devs are following here and there are a selection of cases/sleeves with more on the way.
Who is to say the aftermarket accessories manufacturers will embrace SO MANY different "flavors" of GTab (7.0, 7.0+, 7.7, 8.9, 10.1 and perhaps an 11.0?) I'm doubtful myself.
Keep thinking...."a bird in hand is worth two in the bush"
Most likely I am staying with my GTab 7+. But YMMV

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but there are quite a few more upgrades on the 7.7 over the 7.0 Plus. Bigger battery (5100mAh vs 4000mAh), thinner, lighter, 64GB option, and as you mentioned better display all around - Super AMOLED Plus, higher resolution at 1280 x 800, and larger at 7.7 inches. The only sacrifice really is that it's ever so slightly taller and wider in dimensions, and probably will cost a bit more. I wouldn't underestimate the number of people holding out for the 7.7, I think the dev community will be strong, and I suspect it will have support for CyanogenMod 9.
Although as with all electronics something better will always be just around the corner, as rumors are swirling of a Galaxy Tab 8.3 in the works (Super AMOLED Plus, quad core 1.5GHz, Ice Cream Sandwich), so if you decide to stick with the 7.0 Plus no one is stopping you from enjoying it to the fullest!

You're right, thanks! I forgot about the battery.
Quite right that there's always "something better" just around the corner. If one were to wait for the next best thing, one would never get anything I suspect. As long as whatever you gets does what you want, it's all good.
It's can be a crap-shoot on community support. Samsung devices have the reputation for quality hence usually a good following. That said, I believe that people who gravitate to forums like this tend to be more tech-centric than the majority of tab users. I do wonder though as I read several articles (trades and users) praising the 7+ but somewhat negative mentions about the price. I am curious just how high Android tabs will be able to fetch. Granted, it's my belief that even the $499 iPad is over priced by at least $100 but I wonder if the $400 price point might be the "sweet spot" for full-featured tabs regardless of size? I'm not a "gamer" so my power needs are modest.
This is my first Samsung tab and I am impressed. But so many screen size choices? Price and not so much screen size/features, I suspect, will drive many sales. Witness B&N and Amazon. I confess I am sure I'll be comparing at BB the 7.7 and other screens when it hits!
Isnt the 7.7 going to be starting at $600? The upgrades look good but im not sure if its an extra $200 good.
The 7.0+ is already a damn good tablet.

Well we still don't know what the official prices are going to be, the sites that are offering pre-orders are pretty much just making up their own prices. I have heard however the official price in Australia will be $579 for the 16GB and $649 for the 32GB, and that's in AUD. Looking at the iPad 2 prices in AUD they are almost identical, and we don't know if these prices are for the WiFi or 3G/4G model, but I would suspect the 7.7 will be between $450-500 for the 16GB WiFi model in the US.
Can't wait to see it and compare it with my 7+. Size is my main concern, 7.7 is quite long and wider. If a device is too big, I cant really bring it out whenever I like. Not So useful and convenient like 7 inch tablet too. I once had a larger tablet and I almost left it everyday at my home, sold it at last. Anyway, 7.7 is worth waiting.

Hi. Im new to this part of xda. And this is somewhat bothersome news as I just bought my plus today. First tablet in some time that made me think wow. I have an ipad now. Owned the Transformer and Dell Streak 5 and 7. I was going to wait until spring.g to see the new XOOM, ipad3, and TF Prime but decided after seeing this I thought this could last awhile before going down in price.

I don't think the upgrades from the 7.7 are worth it.
It will be really disappointing if we never get any good roms... But I'm mostly happy with root as it is.
Anyone who wants to sell The Galaxy Tab 7.7 can write me an PM! But I want it this year in Germany I would Pay 1000 Euros Cash!!!
I am very attracted to the 7.7 personally. Have an 8.9 that I'm planning on selling very soon. (Tegra 2 just plain sucks compared to Exynos frankly), and though it's a nice form factor, it's not for me. No phone calling ability is a big downer too; I like being able to swap my SIM card between my original Tab and phone depending on the situation.
Have the Note too, but not sure if I will keep it or not. Waiting to see what ICS will be like on it. Could be amazing, or could just be "meh." If it's not that much better, may sell my Note too and just stick to an SGS2/7.7 combo.
Then again, CES is right around the corner, so maybe it may be worth waiting longer still depending on what else may be coming out for 2012!
But oh that 7.7 sure looks nice... Damn, I'm such a consumer whore
My main reason for buying the 7+ is because it's quite versatile. I don't want to be lugging around a phone, tablet and laptop with me along with their respective accessories and chargers all day so I opted to buy the 7+. This means I can use my ultraportable for serious computing (negating the need to carry the charger), and the tablet for all my communication needs plus some light gaming, reading or browsing.
So it doesn't have the largest battery, or the best resolution, or the latest and greatest processor; but, it's got a large enough screen to comfortably read eBooks, browse the interwebs, and pretty much everything else. It's got decent enough performance (better than decent, actually) to handle all the apps I want + sd card expansion. And most importantly (for me), it doubles as a phone.
I know I look silly when I take calls on it, but I'm okay with that. Like the famous philosopher Jagger once said 'you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need'.
I love the 8.9 and initially wanted to get that, but in the end telephone capabilities and sd card expansion won out over a larger,more gorgeous screen.

Do you have a non wifi version? I got my 7+ yesterday and cant find a dialer on it
I am pickinmg my 7.7 wifi up tomorrow from **** Smith in Australia - can't wait, been wanting a tablet for ages. I had originally ordered a Transformer Prime until Amazon canceled the order. But this is the tablet I really wanted.
I don't know. I mean, I was planing to get the 7+ near the end of this month. I know that the screen and whatnot is better or the 7.7, but I seriously don't know if I would like the better screen or use the maybe bit more charge from it having a bigger battery to spend $200 more then what I was planing on spending.
I'm afraid that 7.7 might still have the Black stains/blotches on the screen, just like in S II. When viewing on dark room.
So no specific release date or price? If its not much more in price than the 7 plus and coming out fairly soon id like to return mine and wait for the 7.7
Just asking, who will upgrade to nexus 10. I will just because my mom agreed to buy it as my present.
My concern is.
- big resolution, will there be any apps compatibility issue?
- bigger screen. Harder to hold and heavier.
Thought? Who else here will buy nexus 10 or trade their n7 for it?
Will just have both.The N7 is great on the go (won't do without it ) and the N10 will do more couch duty with it's big lovely screen. :laugh:
I'd consider trading my N7 for one, but I don't think it'll happen. I don't think anyone would pay "much" for a 8GB model. And I don't have the money to just buy a N10 :/
No.

I'm just about to migrate to the nexus 7 32gb soon!
Can't wait already...selling my Asus transformer any day now. I tried a friends nexus 7 at work last week and I was sold.
Love the 7 inch form factor. Just the portability of the device is what got me.
The nexus 10 looks awesome...especially with that display resolution and the cortex a15 dual exynos. However, I think the 7 inch form factor is the one for me for now.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yes - I plan to do exactly that - provided the build quality is good, and once the teething issues around supply etc are dealt with.
I'm migrating to a 32gb N10.
Thinking about passing down the 7 to another family member and grabbing a 10. I think I will have to wait a while for the pricing to make sense though.
Nexus 7 16 gb ===> 32 = $50
Nexus 10 16 gb ===> 32 = $100
That's the annoying old school Apple pricing there. Annoying, everyone in the world knows that that memory costs $5. Was happy with the new pricing thresholds for the Nexus 7, I assume the 10 will follow suit eventually. Probably when competitors get closer in specs.
Fun to say but the ipad mini format would have been the best of both world.
with 1920*1200 resolution.
I keep my Nexus 7 16gig, i can bring it everywhere !
Im just pissed off at Google for dropping what I paid for a 16GB, to the price of an 8GB weeks after purchasing it.... They said try to claim a price match or something, but I don't know how.
You do realise the Nexus 10 is the lightest and thinnest 10" tablet on the market. It also runs android (obviously ) which works with most screen resolution. I'm sure Google thought it through with 4.2.

Exactly the same feeling, I bought 16GB, would definitely wait for the 32GB + 3G if I knew. I have 10" eeePad Transformer, Nexus 7 is just big enough and much more comfortable to use.
It would be better if they would put this Hi-res displays to notebooks instead of tablets :laugh:
I'd love to play around with the 10 but with that resolution it's awesome but at the same time I'd want to watch media on it and it's already a pain to have a 7" with a usb stick hanging out, imagine a 10" with a usb stick hanging out.
The 7 has been an awesome road warrior. Works great as a stand along GPS on the road minus the polarized effect but I just use it as a gps in portrait mode.
hmmm..i do have a galaxy 10.1 that needs replacing but I honestly wanted to make my 10" something along the lines of a windows 8 pro tablet/hybrid but damn those things will be double the price of a nexus 10 for the i5 models. =(
I'm tempted by a 10, not to replace my 7 but my iPad 2. Think I can probably sell my iPad for a reasonable amount on eBay.

It is not exactly as you think.. Google is bearing a loss with 16gb version, not making profit. So extra 100 dollars cost is not actually for memory upgrade. Its stepping up from loss to profit.. Same applies for Nexus4 also..
yes that's what come to my mind.
basically my "gadget lover" instinct tell me to get nexus 10. But then i'm in the middle of choosing in-between because I feel that 2 tablet is useless. I try to ask myself "what is your need?" , but I realise that, it's not about need, it's about "lust". Nexus 7 is really awesome for portability, i bring it everywhere but Nexus 10 has 2500x1600 resolution, front speaker, gorilla glass 2, 9000mAH battery, and NEW. And if i do get N10, i rather sell my 16gb N7 for 200$ (comes with screen protector and 2 smart case) so i could buy accessories for N10 or add another 185$ to buy nexus 4.. So now i'm in doubt, if i don't get N10 when it released, i won't be able to get it at all since this is supposed to be my b'day present.
i love my nexus 7 sizes... i think that 10 is too much
already have a 10"..and considering the fact for me a tablet is not a must have..but only a plus to play with,i have no need to upgrade my eeepad transfomer with a nexus 10.i 100% keep my nexus7.when i went to shop for buy the n7,i was tempting to buy a gnote 10.1...but after a bit of thinking,i choose the n7 for the size screen.i rarely go out home with tablets,and if i do,i'll go with the nexus7.if i'd buy nexus10 it would stay always at home.full satisfied with my 7 and 10" tablets

I'd love to play around with the 10 but with that resolution it's awesome but at the same time I'd want to watch media on it and it's already a pain to have a 7" with a usb stick hanging out, imagine a 10" with a usb stick hanging out.
The 7 has been an awesome road warrior. Works great as a stand along GPS on the road minus the polarized effect but I just use it as a gps in portrait mode.
hmmm..i do have a galaxy 10.1 that needs replacing but I honestly wanted to make my 10" something along the lines of a windows 8 pro tablet/hybrid but damn those things will be double the price of a nexus 10 for the i5 models. =(

USB out of the nexus 7? I currently have a Acer a500 and thinking about going to nexus 7. Where are you plugging this USB into?

USB comes from an OTG cable (microUSB > Full USB). Search Amazon for them.
I'm good with a 7". I had my Asus Transformer 10" and I loved it but it was just a little too big. I wanted to upgrade to a Tegra3 but didn't see it worthwhile just replacing it with another 10" tablet (Asus TF300). I bought my son a used Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" and I LOVED the size. Fortunately I held out and found the N7. It had all the great features (minus HDMI )I wanted but in a 7" form factor. Plus a price point that was great. I sold my Transformer for $225 and picked up a N7.
Most users here HAD a 10" and downsized to a 7" because we preferred the smaller size.
I'm really torn between these two.
While the new note comes with a stylus and has one inch lager screen, kindle is much cheaper (starting at $379), much much lighter (370 grams) and has a better screen resolution (339 PPI). Both devices are quite powerful and have good camera.

The Amazon tablet is locked to their FireOS, so no play store, no google apps, no accessing the Android OS. That is until people unlock the thing and start coming out with ROMs.
I ordered the Samsung.
You can always download apps in apk format and install them, can't you?
If you don't need S-pen and multiwindow, don't pay extra.
For someone who uses the s pen mainly for annotating books I guess a $2 s pen can do the job.
The new kindle has almost the same price as note 8.0 despite having 1 inch larger screen, almost double screen resolution, better camera and processor. I wonder why Samsung is overpricing its products like that.
Guess I'll wait a few months for either note 10.1 price drop or the expected 10 inch kindle HDX comes out.

Its not the same. A 3rd party stylus wont make that Kindle work like the Note 8 or 10.1 because of its lack of digitizer.
I'll take the Note 8 over the kindle if same price due to digitizer and Spen.

I agree. but I don't think it will do much diffrence for students like myself using the pen only for annotating pdfs. Also, for us the ultra light weight is a big advantage.

True. Amazon is selling at cost so they can lock you in to their environment, their store, their books, etc. You can't even install the Nook reader if you wanted to. No Google apps.

Many complained of not being able to hold the old note 10.1 for more than 15 minutes. With a 370 gm tablet (thanks to magnesium built) you won't have a problem holding it for hours. Perfect for students.

Ignoring the fact that you are trolling this board, annotating with a capciative stylus is hugely different than useing an active digitizer stylus. And if you wanted to do that, might as well get the ipad which has the best apps for it in goodreader and iannotate.

If you want to go that far, you might as well get a nook HD+ which is 120 bucks on ebay today and save yourself over 200 bucks. Can anyone really tell the difference between 1080p and 1440p at 9" screen size? Probably not.
These are devices for different purposes. I for one need it because I've gotten use to the active digitizer for my classes.

Comparing the new kindle fire with its 2.2GHz quad-core processor and 339 PPI screen display to nook HD+ is just laughable. Also you brought a bad example as nook HD+ weighs ~520 gm which is 150 gm heavier than kindle.

Actually the one thing that held me back from buying the old note 10.1 is the screen resolution. and of course you can tell the difference specially when reading small text.

It's $550 for the 16gb one. Get your facts straight before you make overgeneralizations. $550 is a lot and Samsung made a mistake. People will still buy it especially students who got it last year and have gotten use to using a note in their workflow.
Most people don't care about weight. They care about value and size. Amazon tablets still don't have an sd card slot and they require to use their crappy OS. Yeah you can eventually root and rom it, but it's a lot of trouble. The price is also realistically $400 ignoring their pathetic special offers. $400 for a device that's only for media consumption? Who gives a crap about extra power when you don't really use it? If I want a reader I'll get a nook HD+ instead. Students want good apps and good ability to write notes. The kindle is a media-consumption device and less a tablet. The app store is even worse than google play. All that extra power is meant to power things like multiwindow mode and render pdf's faster along with making the UI smoother.
Again, I'm not happy this thing costs $550 at all, but I'll get it anyways because It's only $50 extra and I really would rather move over all my apps and files now rather than later in the semester.
I don't think I have ever seen a student use a kindle ever. Almost everyone has macbooks and ipads and a few galaxy note 10.1's where I'm at.
i do agree with you. $550 last year for the 32GB was pushing it and adding another 50 is really testing me. as much as i love the spen and samsung tablets i think this may be my last samsung @ 10.1 inches. that money would be better spent on the windows tablets - though i hate how touch unfriendly desktop is and i ain't messing with metro/modern ui.
just 2 years ago people were *****ing about paying more than $300 for an android tablet and look where we are now. if we'd have shown that we weren't willing to pay they wouldn't raise the prices. and, yes, i'm just as guilty as the rest of us.

Nowhere did I mention $600 is for 16gb version. I said it costs extra 150 bucks which is true: new kindle fire HDX 8.9" 32gb without special offers is $444. Do the math
Some care about weight, others don't. Personally I use the tablet as an alternative to books which requires holding it for long periods. So weight is extremely important to me.
As I said twice earlier in this thread you can install whatever android apps you want on amazon tablets. you just can't get them directly from google store, unless you root your device of course
http://kindleworld.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-reviewer-myth-that-kindle-fire.html
And of course you need more power for rendering complex pdfs faster etc.
All in all, samsung has a slight edge over kindle but it doesn't worth paying extra 150 bucks. Unlike many people here I pay for my things myself, so I better wait a few months.
After more than one year of the Nexus 7 (2013), how many of you will be buying the new Nexus 9?
One of the main reasons for the Nexus 7's success was the awesome price point. With a reported price for the Nexus 9 being $400, are you willing to put out extra for an even better Nexus experience?
I'm on the fence. I am a little leery of the Nvidia chip. But the touchscreen issues on my N7 2013 is really pissing me off to the point where I want to replace it.
Several of my used apps aren't compatible with Android L.
I think I might roll back my N7 to 4.4.2, flash the touchscreen fix on it, and call it a day. I'm definitely not buying day 1. Plus I'm torn between the NVidia Shield with the stylus, although it has reportedly faulty wifi (equally annoying).
I may buy it (have been waiting for it by-passing tab pro and tab s and even new ipad air), but this time, I will wait a while to see how it performs. The touchscreen issues on my N 7 2 (my old Toshiba Thrive has better touch response overall) and the weak cellular signals on my N5 both piss me off at times. That's why I'm going to wait. Liked my galaxy nexus, loved my N4 (but no lte), and liked my original N7. Not looking at the N6 at all.
It did seem to me that L improved the touch issue (made it less noticeable), but I didn't leave it on for very long.
Not sure if it the NVIDIA chip was confirmed yet or not, but that would make me pass on it. I have a pretty strong stance against NVIDIA's proprietary tech, and won't willing support it by buying such hardware...
Sadly though, I'd love to have a large Android tablet again. My Nexus 10 was awesome while I had it.
Edit: Yep, it's using a NVIDIA Tegra K1...
I'm torn. I'm not a huge fan of the 7" tablet form factor with phones getting larger. This seems like a great size. I'm not excited about the priced that's been rumored and I'd like to see them add the microSD card option that some have been speculating may be part of the N9. 32GB just isn't enough and the "on the go" feature is nice but still not as nice as the option to just add in a microSD.
Edit: Checking out the full specs, no mention of microSD and looks like they stuck with 2GB for the RAM. A bit disappointing to say the least...
Here Nexus 9 ...

So no thanks i will stick with Nexus 7 2013
Not interested at all. I don't care for the 4:3 ratio and $399 is overpriced for only 16gb with no SD storage. I don't understand why 16gb or even 32gb is still the norm. RAM is cheap… 64gb should be the starting point and 128gb the upgrade.

No kidding! $400 for the 16Gb! That would make the LTE version maybe ... $550-600! Yeah I'm happy with my Deb (except that the updates are late cause of Verizon), I don't even think I could convince my wife to get it to replace of our iPad 1 (Hey it was a gift) once it dies. The Nexus Player looks interesting wanna see how it shakes out 1st since it is a bigger jump price wise from a Chromecast.
Yeah, at $400 I feel like they're missing what made the Nexus 7s so popular. They were arguably the best tabs on the market for half the price of the competition. And why the heck did they go 4:3? That made it a no-buy regardless of the price for me.
The 32gb LTE versions are $599. The price is really off putting for me. $300 seems to be the right price point for a high end 32gb android tablet.
absolutely yes
I love my N 7 2013 but aspect ratio. 4:3 way better on my taste. Price is quite high though
The main reason I won't be buying it is primarily because of the price. I would love to get my hands on it if I could though
I will be sticking with my Nexus 7 for awhile longer. It still does everything I want it to and is the perfect size to carry around in my back pocket at the Airport while traveling. The 9 will be just a bit too big. I was hoping for an updated 7 near the same price but the price also kills it for me since I have my first kid on the way. Oh well.
Overall, my Nexus 7 FHD, is perfectly fine. It'll be getting Android 5, and its small and light enough to take everywhere. I am also leery of NVIDIA mobile chipsets, especially after the way that Tegra 3 and Tegra 4 were quickly abandoned.
I'll be watching though, because the specs still make me drool a little. ????
No for the Nexus 9. I may get one in the future, but not until some refurbs show up with a better price. I love my N7 and don't see a need to move on from it.
Price is definitely an issue and so is the size. That's why I got the nexus 7. An 8 inch tablet is about as big as id go if I were to get another tablet. Which is another reason I'm not getting a nexus 6. Sure the specs are great but it's too dang big!
I was planning on upgrading to the 6 and the 9. But totally disappointed by both, size and price are not acceptable.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
First I need to have the Nexus 9 in my hands for a few minutes in a store, so I can decide if it's for me or not at this time(like I did with my nexus 7 2013 a few months back when I got it) . Going from 7" 16:9 to 8.9" 4:3 might be weird for me and others. But I think an upgrade for me most likely will be in late 1Q of 2015 as I am just in love for now with the Nexus 7 2013 size, screen, responsiveness and portability.
Nexus 7 2013 is reaching it's EOL in 2015 as Google only supports Android updates for only 2 years on it's devices but there's always xda development community that will keep it alive, hopefully for another 2.
So at most Nexus 7 2013 will see an Official Android 5.1 Lollipop (5.1 would be a mini update if needed) next year or not and after that Google will stop caring about it.
Will the nex 9 be stock or have that crap htc sense?

The Nexus 9 is way too expensive.
I have a 2012 Nexus 7, which is still going strong.
I am about at the point that I will be making another tablet purchase.
I will likely go with Samsung's Tab Pro 8.4, which I have recently seen at Best Buy for between $ 240 and $ 280, depending on whats on sale that week.
The tab pro 8.4 gets great reviews and is very competitive spec-wize.; it has a higher res rear cam, higher pixels per inch count on its display , 2.3 ghz quad-core processor, and a micro sd slot for augmenting memory.
Its only short coming is the Touchwiz UI.

Don't throw away your money on the Tab Pro 8.4. Samsung has basically abandoned that tablet and it's not even a year old yet. Great specs, sure, but it's also kinda laggy because of Touchwiz. I'm actually looking at getting the Nexus 9 because of this.
Nvidia Shield is the best tablet you can buy. Close to stock android. Quad-core 2.2 GHz Cortex-A15, GPU ULP GeForce Kepler (192 cores), Full HD Screen, Timely updates, 2gb of Ram. Has amazing reviews. Can be a normal tablet for everyday use or gaming.

I would agree that they have abandoned it in favor of the Tab S, but how does that affect its usefulness?
I put CyanongenMod on my Tab Pro and it was great. I would have figured few people on this forum keep their devices stock, but to each is own. I will concede that Touchwiz is just OK.

It will mean that getting future custom ROMs could be potentially compromised because (1) Samsung may not release stuff that is needed for these ROMs, and (2) how many devs (which there aren't many to begin with) are going to want to keep putting in work to an "obsolete" device.
Anyone saying that other tablets are "comparable spec wise" either forgot about the 64-bit CPU or they are likely underestimating the effect it will have on performance. Unless you are considering a different tablet with either a Denver K1 or Snapdragon 810 there is probably no point in comparing it to the Nexus 9.
This is the most powerful tablet on the market. It is also the first 64-bit android tab. It will also get updates first. $399 for a 16gb isn't so bad

It's not so bad if you can add more or don't need much space, or prefer to blindly trust on Google's storage and have an unfailing internet connection. Otherwise it's kinda sad and 2012-ish. The price isn't right for that little storage.
Nexus 7 sucks, can't wait for nexus 9
I even consider buying a iPad Mini 2 (only £329 for 32GB) given the iPad Mini 3 is not much of an upgrade to this and not worth buying.
But being a Nexus Fanboy, I'll probably will get a N9 and say Goodbye for my slow & laggy N10.

You can always use OTG. I am almost always near a WiFi connection so I should be fine. I have a grandfathered Unlimited T-Mo plan without hotspot but I want to see if I can bypass that. All my media will be coming off my server computer and apps shouldn't be that much space.
Please do your home work on the nvidia shield tablet!!!
It has been known of self cracking corners! Plenty of customers on here, I was one of them!!! even with the second batch and LTE version
.
Very poor WiFi!
And losses charge whilst on charge. Suss that one out?
I had one and sent it back after a week!
It could of been a very good tablet. But has some very big issues!
There are only a couple of very hard working devs over there as development stands.
But sadly the shield is a big flop. Really is a shame!!!!!!

For me it is bad. $399 screams highend and it should have had 32GB at that price point. But even that sounds bad. Should have been $300 for 16GB and $350 for 32GB.
Hate to bring up iPad's around here but a new retina mini cost $299 at 16GB. If you're not into rooting/hacking it looks pretty decent compared to these prices. Point being it won't take long for prices to drop on this new Nexus 9. I wouldn't be surprised to see these hit the refurb bins at $250 to $300 in 6 months. That's how I got my 2013 Nexus 7 for $130.
how about Xiaomi Mi pad?!
did u think about xiaomi's mi pad?! it has the same cpu and gpu. but at lower price.64 gb version is about 340$.also have the same size of Ipad mini2 and all the accessories of ipad mini2 fits to this one..from the Dev side of this tablet i dont know alot.but i know nvidia quickly turn behind to its cpu and products..i have htc one x..i waited a lot for some good games that never showed up!by the way i have ifive mini 3gs..i am very satisfied.. mi pad was my choice but i needed sim card slot so i bought this ifive.. Mi pad is a very good tablet..think about it :good:
I honestly believe that for what you get with the nexus 9 that it's going to be a decent deal.
I just bought a galaxy tab s 10.5 and am debating on buying the nexus 9 as my living room tablet.
