Google’s Nexus 7 Tablet Is Off To A Good Start With Pre-orders
The Nexus 7 is about as good of a deal as it gets with its monster specs and low price of just $199. You would expect that to sell well and apparently it already is. Business Insider is reporting that their own Steve Kovach was able to talk to director of Android project management, Hugo Barra, last night about the Nexus 7′s sales. Barra refused to give any specifics but when pressed about ballpark figures he just smirked and said, “It’s big.” This sounds like good news for El Goog, especially after the news broke today that they’re making no profit from the Nexus 7. Are you one of the ones who pre-ordered the Nexus 7 on the first day? Hit us up in the comments with your answer!
The only thing I don't like is how they neglected to run the tablet interface of Jelly Bean (presuming/hoping it still exists). I think overall that the tablet optimized interface of ICS made the experience much better, as it was still the same operating system, yet different enough to avoid the whole "bigger phone" mentality (just like an iPad is exactly a bigger iPod, and can do nothing more nor less). I hope they keep the tablet optimized layout when JB gets pushed to tablets, otherwise my love of Android tablets will drop and I'll probably root and flash an ICS rom again.
