I disagree an bit because I feel nexus 7 is supposed to be an consumption device,so wouldn't they want more people to get their hands on it?

They want you to consume yes, and they may one day go that direction. Right now however Google is content and not hardware. they want you embedded in the Play store but they don't seem to want to feed the dinosaur themselves at this point. Just like how AT&T stopped making telephones in the 80s but still loves for people to use their service.

I thin we may see this change in the future however. Right now we have three real content vendors; Amazon, Google, and Apple. Yes Barnes and Noble could be a fourth and perhaps Sony but...

Anyway will we get to the point where computers are like game consoles? Made and sold by one company at a loss to get you to buy software? I don't think it will get to that but times are going to make hardware profits a little more tricky.

The Nexus has been said by Google themselves as more of a guide to other vendors. They want to help solidify the platform for the betterment of Android.

I bought mine primarily for school.
It's much cheaper to get the e-books than physical textbooks which the school will give me a whopping 5% back when i sell it.
Hoping the nexus 7 will be good for reading. from what i hear though it should be
I have a laptop and desktop for everything else no need for lots of space or a 10" screen

Keep me posted on how the e-book texts work out. I assume they would be no different from textbooks though. Just a heads up, nook app does not support textbooks. It might have changed since I bought my nook, but the website can tell you for sure.

There is a website , where you rent e text books and you can view them from any computer or tablet, as well as print and make notes, among other things. There is an android and an Ipad app with them as well. I calculated the cost of used books from my last two semesters compaird to renting them there and i would have saved almost $200.

Thank you very much for this info. I will pass it along to my son. Sorry to have taken this thread off topic.

I bet Google is trolling forums and checking on the general reaction from people!!! Office Depot delaying their release?? I wonder why...I ordered via Google Play and I am sticking with it.

Lol this place is actually calmer than most device forums waiting for release, and I've sat through a couple
We'll get em soon enough boys

This wait is terrible for me. This is the first product I have ever preordered.

[CarlGalgano]

Now when I try to display my pending charges on AMX's website it says "we are experiencing intermittent delays"..... anyone want to weave a conspiracy around that bit of info?

It doesn't say that for me...

I know what you mean. I'm in the same boat and it is horrible waiting. I'm so anxious.

Your right this is much calmer and I'm glad for that. If were waiting a week or more I think its going to get a bit crazy in here.

Well, now I am getting my Amazon charge for the case I bought today. Were all looking for that little sign that may mean something.

Agreed. The wait for the Galaxy Nexus was excruciating, but exciting. Hopefully this won't turn into that, but it's early still. Cheers.

I just went through this sh!t waiting on my Verizon Galaxy S3. Why I put myself through the stress of back to back pre-orders...I'll never know.

It is getting a little scary over in the XDA forum, but I did have a good laugh when looking at the tags for the thread

[CarlGalgano]

This is more exciting than excruciating for me. It will get here when it does. Fun to watch the whole thing unfold.

Lol so true.. If it goes into next week I'll have to avoid this place to keep some semblance of sanity

Me too...it feels so good to be apart of a tablet preorder that I actually am proud of. I have never owned an Apple product and never will. They are great pieces of hardware just not for me. It is also a painful experience because I want my Nexus 7 already...it will be soo much better than my Toshiba Thrive!!!!!

[f4hybrid420]

I want my Nexus 7...AAAHHHHH

[SpenceJonas]

Three people in my office pre-ordered from Google Play, but I work in a network control center so that skews data a bit.

I know two other people in my building that pre ordered and surprising enough they are over in the tech department hah. I'm in the accounting department but probably belong over there more then I do in the accounting area.

[ShadowAsylum]

I just hope it is released tomorrow, Friday, Saturday or Sunday. I would like to have it before class Monday.

I want it to come so I can pay it off on my credit card then order a Galaxy Nexus since they are pack in stock haha. Would also enjoy to have it while on vacation also though

I'm STILL going through this sh!t with the Verizon Galaxy S3 because I pre-ordered through Best Buy. Tomorrow is the rumored day for my phone too...but rumors also say the one I pre-ordered is in low supply, so I might not get it tomorrow anyway (Best Buy sure hasn't said anything to me about it).

So I get to experience the anxiousness and frustration of two pre-orders at the same time!

I will go to bed and dream that tomorrow comes bearing news of the arrival of both my Galaxy S3 AND my Nexus 7.

[John-Smith]

I dont know what's worse. Waiting, or watching all these unboxing videos and reviews . I just want it lol.

I've tried not to watch unboxing videos, I want to unbox it myself.

[jmoore122195]

I'm really hoping tomorrow or Friday, but if i can get it anytime before August 5, when I go on vacation again I'll be good
