A first thing I noticed was that Google had wizened up on that even and marketing. They went clever, be it a heck of a lot snipey. Here's yet another one.
"There are also the usual hardware bells and whistles you'd expect form a fondleslab these days: GPS.............."
So it does in fact still have that GPS. I quite wonder if it gets more acknowledged this time.

For some reason I have lost the ability to understand what you are saying.
Just think of the 7 as the worlds highest resolution tablet then.
I'll continue to think that that 'world' accolade as likely as not belongs to the Nexus 10.
Edit- you might just have missed that mobile discussion on PPI.
Gormond was there and seemed to like the use of PPI, which I don't. The Telegraph is using PPI to aid that 'perception'.
I've got the original Nexus 7 and am torn between waiting for the new one or getting a Nexus 10 to replace my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, which is showing its age on some modern games/apps now. Are there any suggestions of a new Nexus 10? I wouldn't want to get one only for an updated model to be released soon after.

That's life in the tech world. There's always something better coming around the corner. The new N7 is better than the first one but not enough to tempt me into upgrading. I could, however, be tempted by a new N10. I like the 7" form factor but sometimes it would be nicer to have a bigger screen.
However, I tried to watch a video off a website the other day, and it just "stutter-stutter". I then tried watching it on my Nexus 4, and it played perfectly. So clearly it struggles with video.
Also, web browsing can be very slow on some sites (using chrome but I like the functionality), and the overall responsiveness of the device is lacking compared to the Nexus 4.
So the performance increases will make this a much nicer thing to use even if you don't use it for anything else.
Have you tried using MX player and changing from Hardware to software encoding (or the other way around) in the options?
Sometimes a film won't play in hardware encoding but will do in software encoding.

Post the web site so others can try. There are many factors.
Seems to be doing brisk trade on Ebay. Considering we're not going to see it here in the UK for another 8 weeks (which makes no sense!) i may be tempted.

At least it will give us some time to check out the reviews before we buy it.

It's supposed to be available today but I've just tried to update my N7 and it says there are no updates available.

Still no mention of that included GPS, now confirmed, but a slanted 1 out of 2 ain't too bad.

I thought it was just me... I think I will need someone to translate the posts for me!

It was this video here:-

Played OK for a bit but got slower and slower (but not buffering, just freezing).

The multi user profiles are certainly improving.
Agreed. I won't be upgrading.
Some good pics of it there too.
7 out of 10 for repair-ability is extremely decent for a tablet.
Xperia Z Ultra = £620
Nexus 7 = £200
Maybe?
EDIT - oops, beaten to it, quite considerably!

Would one from America work with our version of Google Play or would there be problems?
