A few weeks after I got my N7 the touch screen would, from time to time, become unresponsive. Not completely unresponsive but enough to drive me crazy. For whatever reason it would suddenly take me multiple taps to get a button to respond to a tap and smooth scrolling was impossible. To fix it I would press the power button off then on and that would take care of it until the next time it happened. I started deleting apps one by one that I thought might be causing some interference with the OS then wait and see what happened, but that didn't make any difference. I even had an app killer running but that didn't make any difference either and I deleted it as well. I know there are some touch screen problems out there but from what I've heard this affects only certain parts of the screen and after using OS intensive apps. For me it did not matter what part of the screen I touched and I also don't play games on my N7 or push the device's OS limits in any way. Almost all of my apps are fairly vanilla apps and commonly used and shouldn't be causing problems.
So yesterday I did a complete erase and re-set -- what a hassle. I have re-downloaded only those apps that I feel are "safe" (about 4 all together). We'll see what happens. If that doesn't work then I'll either return the device to Asus for a another (which I really DON'T want to do) or wait it out and see if a future OS update fixes it.
Sorry for the rant.
