you can use the mobile login

Code:

which has a regular login box. then click for the full version of the forums. it will remember your preference even if for some reason it logs you out.

i use that link as my short cut to the ds forums.”

Don't then.

Seems a bit weird. It'll take you two seconds and you'll only have to do it once.

Wouldn't let it put you off, it's a minor irritation of what is otherwise a great device.

$99 would be pretty cheap. the Nexus 7 is a nice device but it has clearly been made to a budget.

i think making one to half that budget might be a step too far.

Considering the parts cost of the Nexus 7 is apparently around $150 they would have to do some serious savings to get under $99.

they would. and i can't see it being something i would want to buy.

however, in 12 - 24 months time who knows.

Might this be a case of giving away the razor and making a fortune on the blades - in other words hoping that their app store will be the main source of income?

that was the model with the Nexus 7 really. they aren't making much money on it.

Nope. I spent a tenner on a decent case for when I'm out and about. Don't use a case at home.

I bought a case for a quid. I only use it for when the thing is in my ruck sack or something like that. It-s a 7" kindle case.

Do members use a screen protector on their device? I'm asking because the screen is suppose to be scratch resistant.

I've got a leather case which protects the screen when not in use. I also have a small 'V' shaped scratch on the bezel, near the camera. Been there ages though, so no idea how it got there. Rest of screen is fine.
