Google executive Hugh Barra beams with pride as he shows off the company's new tablet, the Nexus 7, at a launch event in California.
$199, tegra 3?!

Looks like they're ditching the crappy honeycomb interface - well done, lads. Simple = best.
Looks good, I just wish there had been an SD slot, not all of us have the bandwidth to use cloudy stuff.
May well get the 8gb version anyway, part of me wishes there was also a sim slot, I have big hands and even the S3 feels a bit tiddly in my paws.
I know I'm eventually getting at least one, but really need 5, one laptop shared by 3 is a bit much since they are teenagers, 4 minimum
No SD slot = I won't buy it. No question.
The cloud sucks ass. I live in New York City and my coverage is spotty. No way I'm relying on the cloud. Plus twice a day I'm underground.
I just bit the bullet and got an 8gb one - once Google Wallet had finally decided it was happy for me to use my own money!!
This will be used solely at home and work and I'm hoping it'll give me my first proper foray into Android so when it comes time to choose my next phone (currently a 4s which doesn't fit my hands at all) I can make a more informed decision! (I have used the x86 port of Android on an old netbook but it's not really the same..)
But they should've put an SD slot in the bloody thing! (They're getting almost as bad as Apple!) Bah!!!
Nope, looks like Google Wallet has just rejected the order again.
Sod them.
I'm sick of shit like this. $199 for 8gb, $249 for 16gb. Newegg has 8gb of sd for less than eight bucks. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208453
That sure am some expensive fucking memory you got there. What's it made from, shiny gold executive teeth? Fuck that shit. Bet the battery isn't consumer swappable either. Smells like shitty rotten apples in here.
I don't want any tablet that doesn't have an sd slot and an easily replaceable battery. Why the fuck would I accept such compromises?
It's because I live in the armpit of technology...
