    Slow YouTube

    Tubemate works awesome. Just watch out that it drops a bunch of malware stuffs on your device. After a couple of test downloads, I uninstalled the app.

    Would you be willing to pay more for a higher end Nexus 7 (2013 model)?

    MicroSD + micro HDMI are all I'd want for $50 more.

    Cleaning the nexus 7 screen

    Aren't these glass supposed to be pretty darn durable? My old HTC smart phone's screen is perfect and I've only wiped it with my T-shirt every couple of days. That said, I do have some micro fiber cloth around the house and will start using that...might as well.

    Should I get a protection plan on my Nexus 7

    Wow, that's cheap. Office Max wanted $50 so I passed on it. Should have gotten mine at Walmart...

    Car Charger

    All chargers should have its charge rate in amp-hr or mili amp-hr printed on it. Now that doesn't mean the device is working to specs. The stock wall charger that comes with this N7 pushes 2 amp per hour so any charger that pushes less won't hurt the internal battery. Batteries prefer slower...

    Nexus 7 black Friday deals

    Only deal I saw for N7 is the 32gb version for $230 at Office Depot. No deals for 16gb that I could find.

    New Buyer Worries @ Nexus 7

    When I was there, noticed employees pushing Samsung tablets. Can't help but wonder if nudging from somewhere to remove competition from Samsung by dropping Nexus. Just "conspiracy" theory:-)

    Purchased N7 today (nov 19) 4.2 preloaded

    Local Office Depot just got new stock 2 days ago so picked mine up today. Came with 4.2 so hoping its the complaints on the new JB is fixed. If not, I've got nothing to compare to 4.1.2 any ways so "ignorance is bliss" :-)

    New Buyer Worries @ Nexus 7

    Just picked up my first tablet, N7, today. Agonized for the last 3 weeks of deciding between this or Samsung Galaxy 2.0. Left side of screen is slightly raised...left is flushed with frame while right is maybe 1/4 mm below. If it weren't for my readings here I'd never know it. This unit just...

    Android 4.2 Scheduled for Nexus 7 on November 13

    Thanks...that was going to be my next question. One less worry on my mind about what version it came with.

    Android 4.2 Scheduled for Nexus 7 on November 13

    Does this mean Nexus 7 delivered after Nov 13 will be loaded with 4.2? I stopped by my local Fry's today and they haven't been able to keep any in stock. Next stock arrival is Nov 17. Hoping it will have 4.2.

    Do I want Gingerbread on my Inspire?

    I just got my Inspire 2 weeks ago and it still came with 2.2. When 2.3 comes out will AT&T push this update over wireless?

    Kindle 3 Charger works with Inspire

    Does anyone know how much milliamps is output from a PC when you charge it thru the PC's USB? The stock battery is around 1200 mah so any charger that doesn't push above 1.2 amps should be good. I have serveral after market chargers that put out 700 to 850 ma that I've been using and have been...

    How's the battery

    I've got mine for 2 weeks now. Even just leaving it alone on standby, I'm burning about 2% per hour. So if I leave the house in the morning with 100%, by the time I get home in the evening, it'll be around 60%. I charge it up on the PC while at the office around mid day. Then charge again...

    Fellas, how do you carry it?

    Pocket gets too much lint into the openings. I holster it.
