    If you had read any of the Nexus 7 reviews you will find that most of them point out, no rear camera, no 3G/4G and no external storage as the "not cool/tired" factors of the Nexus 7. The display at 216 ppi gets very good reviews, it's close enough to retina to not make much difference at that size.



     


    It's more of the no external storage that Google is getting flak for. No 3G/4G is minor complaint as is the camera, but the lack of storage on an Android is appalling. Worse yet Google decided that USB OTG for external would not be supported. Granted, it won't be THAT hard to fix that with a root, but they really should have just put the MicroSD in. They have the space as evident from the tear down. They can keep the $25 Google play card and the Transformer move. Just put the MicroSD in and I personally guarantee they'd sell way more.


     


    What bothers me is Apple tries to sell this sophisticated, educated aura of its products, but as we see, more than a few idiots are buying its products. They can't even bothered to read about a product they trash. Seriously.

    Conclusion main reason to get this tablet is its high quality. Google, and Asus did a great job. Steve Job's ghost wont hunt you down if you admit it. 



     


    You really expect a fanboy to actually educate himself on something that could potentially challenge his worldview?


     


    Really man. I'm disappointed.


     


    I'm waiting for the average user reviews before I commit to buying this for my parents.

    It must really bother you that it hits many points on the head and that you people have essentially nothing to counter them except threats of banning. Know what countries lock away people who disagree with the government? Want to go live there?


     


    Jesus. Is the moderation here from North Korea?


     


    FYI, it's hilarious how you cite that and utterly fail to actually prove anything I say wrong and then put me on moderation. I predict it and then go and prove it.


     


    You must be good friends with Kim Jung Un Tallest,

    Ah yes. Ban people who disagree with you.


     


    You'd fit right in with Kim Jung Un.

    Nope. Just spammers. Interestingly, though, our auto-filter is deleting all of your posts and telling me they're spam.

    And there's this niggling feeling I have to trust it. Not sure where that's coming from.

    More like you're just looking for a reason to ban me. It's like <span class="st"><em>ConservaWiki</em></span>. <strong>Just worse</strong> (which is pretty bad merely to be compared to them in the first place). At least they let you hash out one argument before they ban you.</p>

    Fyi, you really are setting the notion that deviation will be dealt a ban hammer. Which essentially proves Android Fanboys are correct in their whole "Apple users are snotty" insult.</p>
    <p>

    Thanks for proving that at least some Apple users are in fact worse than some of the worse Android Fanboys.</p>

    Do you guys listen to yourselves, loving Apple does not mean hatred of anything that competes with Apple. 


     


    From my most loved tech product my precious ipad 2



     


     


    Are you really so completely oblivious? It isn't at all about Apple having competition (we actually know about that… we discuss those competitors all the time). Most people posting here aren't protesting or 'spewing hatefully' about competing products at all. Some might have strong opinions, but that isn't remotely "hatred"…  


     


    If fact, as I read through this thread, it turns out you're the one doing most of the spewing (back to my question regarding your awareness levels), name calling, arrogance, and confrontation… and most of the strong negatives are directed at you specifically, and this snarky vitriol you've brought to the discussion… most of that has NOTHING to do with the actual discussion surrounding Apple's (or the competition's) products at all.


     


    So, I am forced to shoot your question right back at you… do you listen to yourself…? "Dialogue" also does not mean hatred of anyone who criticizes a competing product. 


     


    In the opinion of this "Apple-loving, Kool-aid drinking fanboy", you need to grow up a little, or depart the discussion...

    All Techstalker did was stand up for a forum member who was initially insulted by a post that, frankly, should have been dealt with by a mod in the first place. Why, in a forum post based on a news article centering around the Google Nexus 7, and somebody says they like the form factor and price point, and declares that they will in fact buy one, should they be accused of not "being able to afford the best" and instead deserve our "pity".


     


    That type of post is NOT intended to incite? What was ITS purpose? Did it have anything to do with the discussion? Did the post expand upon a point?


     


    No, it was a snarky, mean spirited comment, that provided no baisis in fact, was not relevant to the discussion and obviously did nothing but start a flame war.


     


    Many of you on this forum seriously need to get a grip. Repeat to yourselves:


     


    "I am not a iPhone, I am not Apple. I am simply an individual who has an interest in Apple products and technology only. An insult to Apple is not an insult to myself, because I am not Apple. People who like other products are not themselves those products. They simnply have an interest in anothers product. BUT we all share an interest in technology. My head will not explode if I hold a Android product."
