I still haven’t fondled one of those.
If the iPad Mini exists, it’s just weeks away from now. Sales of the Nexus 7 will likely tank, even if the iPad Mini costs more. Although for those who can afford only the Nexus 7, it’s a better buy than the Kindle Fire HD if you’re not married to Amazon Prime.
My friend has the Nexus Google Tablet and loves it! I fondled on at Office Depot! But I’m still holding out for the mini!
On the American side, the Nexus 7′s on display at Staples are crippled. First, they are clamped down to the table w/metal clamps so that you can’t even move it or see the back. Secondly and most idiotically, it’s locked with a password so you can’t even play with Jelly Bean. Basically, there Nexus 7 just display a wallpaper.
The clamps have always been an idiotic Staples feature. I wouldn’t be surprised if an irate fondler put in a password to give Staples the middle finger.
