A slightly odd design, I agree, although prefer its look over that of the iPad mini. I obviously haven't seen a NG Nexus 7 in the "flesh", but the OG N7 dimensions were almost the aesthetically pleasing Golden Rectangle, so I envisage the new one looking a little... anorexic in comparison. Won't stop me buying one though
It's interesting to hear Google defend the heavy forehead-and-chin bezels as allowing you to hold it more comfortably in landscape mode, along with the rotation of the "nexus" badge. Remember when the N7 wasn't even supposed to
be used in landscape mode!? (The home screen refused to rotate until a later update). I guess they've conceded that one now!
