Is nexus player available from retailers? - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not yet, but as the Chromecast & Chromebooks are, I'd assume it'll make its way to retailers.

Retailers in the US?

Hi,
Is there any news about when/if the Adam will show up at a retailer in the US?
Thanks.

I think this is going to be an online product only.

Notion Ink has said numerous times they are working with retailers already to get the adam sold elsewhere, not just on their website. As far as being sold in a brick and mortar, not sure about that but somewhere like amazon would be great.

I think online only is OK.
As long as the online retailers have a decent return policy.
I am very interested in getting one. But NI's return policy is not the best.

there was someone from Best Buy in one of the videos from CES, and with best buy having such a global presence, (It does just under different names in different countries.) I wouldn't be surprised if they started to sell the adam.

Hi guys! please tell me:

Where to make a pre-order of the Nexus Q or 7 tablet? what is the difference between the $199 and $299 variants? wow now I saw a worth-buying tablet after a while..

the different between the 199$ is 8GB Space and ?299$? 16GB Space and aviable at the play.store in the USA, UK, Canada and Australia

Avail for pre-order at https://play.google.com/store/devices?feature=single-wide-banner

make sure you read the specs carefully before you buy it.

Any info on whether this is supposed to replace or supplement Google TV devices? Hopefully it isn't locked down to just playing media through Play. My Sony Google TV blu-ray player coupled with GTVBox is an awesome media player, though the Sony hardware is a bit out-dated and slow. (not to mention ugly)

[Q] Nexus 7 really for me?

Hi all.
Firstly, I live in Canada, which means Google Play store content is not as "enriched" as the American version of the Google Store. There's not a lot of variety, or so I've heard.
Anyways, I am looking for a tablet, main purpose is not to game, but for music/video/office stuffs sometimes. I guess I don't need a quad-core processor, but it will definitely be useful.
I pre-ordered nexus 7, but seeing how I am restricted to 16gbs, I am planning to cancel that and get a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 instead, and put a 32gb SDHC inside. I can only spend about 250 CAD, so ASUS Transformers are out of my question.
My question is, should I stick to Nexus 7, and google play store that is not very developed or get a galaxy tab 2 7.0? I am not really planning to buy content from it anyways, just use it as a day-to-day device for video playback and music from my iTunes collection.
Also, if I do get the galaxy tab, would it be updated to jellybean possibly? Would this improve the performance over already-installed ics?
Or should I just wait for a new line of tablets, and how soon will they be released??
Thanks.

While I do wish you could expand the nexus 7 storage you need to ask yourself......are you really going to use over 16 gigs? I mean how often do you need to have 15 movies on your tab? You're probably going to be by your computer everyday at some point so you much crap do you realistically need on it on a day to day basis? If you are going on a flight plug in a flash drive with the OTG cable. The nexus 7 hardware is equivalent or better than the grab 2 7 and the software/dev is going to be amazing. Just my. 02

I didn't think the N7 supported OTG? Does it?

Questions go in the Q&A section

As he said, you need to take inventory of all the stuff you'll have on the tablet at one time. Music can be several gigs, depending on your collection (and that's not really something you want to copy back and forth) and whether or not you use google music.
Remember that you don't actually get 16G, only 13G.
USB OTG is (probably) also possible if you root.

Hi, I have the grab 7.7, the nexus 7 and I just bought the gtab 7.0 for my niece. If I were in your situation with a budget I would do the gtab 7.0 for 2 reasons 1- storage sounds like you need as much as you can get. 2- I think the N7 has some production, build quality issues and my experience with the transformer prime tablet, also made by ASUS was not great.
If you can't wait then get the 7.0. If you CAN wait, I am sure they will work out the kinks - overall the N7 is the better device but the 7.0 is a solid device no issues lots of accessories and does have ice cream sandwich OS

Thanks. Now I am really considering the gtab2. But in Canada would I be able to cancel my order because this is what they told me via email:
"Hello,
We wanted to send you an update on your Nexus 7 pre-order. We’ve had incredible demand for the new tablet and are shipping them as quickly as possible. Your tablet will ship in 1-2 weeks.
Thanks for your patience. Your Nexus 7 will be on its way soon.
The Google Play Team"
This is clearly a bs, since I paid 20 for 2-day shipping, have to wait 1-2 more weeks.
They haven't charged my credit card yet, so would I have a better chance if I call them personally? (I tried last night, gave up after 50 min on the phone waiting)

It's true it really isn't as enriched as the USA store, you can still rent movies at least (haven't gotten my 7 yet to check out what's in the store). I don't see myself gaming really that much either (I have a PS3 for that) so I'll be doing pretty much the same as you.
For Music: I uploaded all my music to Google Music and I gotta say, it is well worth it if you haven't done it already. Really handy and streams really quickly.
For Movies/TV Shows: I have my own dedicated server (Dell running Ubunutu) from which I stream my content from so in my case I'm not too worried about storing stuff on the tablet (except for maybe a trip where I'll save some). If this does interest you or you are home quite a bit, you could even create a share folder on your computer or laptop and access it from your tablet.
As for cancelling, from what I understand you can refuse delivery and they will give you a refund, but I haven't personally checked on that. Honestly, I have my doubts you'll get offical JB and if you do it will be ages before you ever get it.
Which one did you order from the GP Store, 8GB or 16GB?
PS. This will be my first tablet so I'm excited :laugh:

Sadly, Google Music is not available in Canada, only available in the U.S.
And I ordered 16gb version, I know 8gbs have shipped already, but 1-2weeks for the 16gb one.

Second, I am not 100% sure, but I think the market is not as robust for the world outside of North America (includes Canada), don't quote me though. I am sure other's in your region will chime in soon.

I kinda lol'ed when I read this. If Canada isn't included in North America, that only leaves US.

Google Music isn't available in Canada yet.
And at OP, you're gonna be using the same Play Store on the N7 and the Galaxy Tab, so I'm kinda confused about your statement. Do you mean because it's running jelly bean? If so, it's only gonna be a short time for developers to edit those apps to be fully compatible.

Ya I know but you can get it like I did (I live in Canada as well) using Tor to setup an account and then your free to access it while still in Canada. I used this guide, super simple and again you only need to setup using a US IP, you can still access using a Canadian IP
Ohh that sucks, I ordered a 8GB from GP but decided to sell to a friend and ordered through Futureshop, much cheaper (cost me $294 w/ tax for 16GB FS, $256 w/ tax GP in Ontario). Hopefully they do ship them soon though

I got mine yesterday and I think it's the best tablet experience. I have a Transformer (Tf101); and I think I almost like this more. It's smooth, fast and extremely portable. The Nexus 7, along with my Chromebook, will go to school with me. I think this will be the ideal combination.

I live in Canada and my 16gb got shipped, I have no clue if I should keep it, or return it for a refund.
I also bought galaxy tab 7.0 plus and will get a sdhc card.
Should I keep my nexus 7?

Nexus 7 LTE Retailers in the US?

I see the LTE model is available, via order at least, through Best Buy and the Play Store. Are there any rumors of it being released to other retailers in the near future?
I'd love to see it at Walmart to take advantage of a cheap replacement plan.

I picked mine up locally at my Best Buy store. They only had 2 in stock but at least they had them in the store.

Does the Nexus Player support 1080p60 in YouTube and/or Twitch?

The Nexus Player is on sale this week for $50 at Best Buy, and I'm considering picking one up, but I need to know if 1080p60 is supported in both YouTube and Twitch before I buy. Otherwise I might need to wait a week for the Google conference to see if the new version (assuming there is one) supports these features.
If anyone who has one of these could verify, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
