So this morning, I dropped my girlfriend off to work and I had to gas up and I wanted to grab some quick breakfast. I go to dunkin donuts to do just that. I got out of the car, threw my nexus 7 into my back pocket, go in, order my stuff and go have a seat. There was no WiFi here, so I pulled out my nexus and just started reading a book(Mockingjay...don't judge me Lol), while I ate and drank my coffee. When I was done, I got up..threw my nexus back into my back pocket and went about my day.

So i guess to make a long story long...I say all this to say, I love the size and form factor of this thing. I was able to read and eat without my device feeling intrusive or drawing too much attention to myself. That was an issue I had when I was using an iPad. Not an amazing story, but I just wanted to share it. Lol.

Good story, but we should be writing DD to add wifi just like their competitors have.

U make a good point. I think they might be putting it into their stores, slowly but surely. I've been to one with WiFi before. This particular one, and the one near my house, doesn't have WiFi.

Yeah, I put my Nexus in the front pocket of my baggy jeans and went into Denny's and the lady greeted me with "Is that a Nexus in your pocket or are you just glad to see me"...
Word gets around...:):

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

Most of the DDs in Massachusetts have wifi. It is the home of DD. I'm sure other regions will get it soon. I'm finding it hard not to find a place without wifi. Most of the supermarkets, coffee shops, restaurants, etc have wifi. Strangely, the big stores like Target and Walmart do not and also block out cell signals.

Waste of a threat don't you think?
 
I live in the Boston area, and I haven't been into a DD that didn't have WiFi......also all the McDonalds in this area have WiFi as well.

Awesome story and perfect use case for this device. And Hunger Games is pretty bad ass. Take out the love story and it's pretty manly.

Post was quite the metaphorical page-turner!

Mainly because I just got home from church, where I thoroughly enjoy the e-bibley goodness of my Nexus 7, and was thinking about having it crushed in a pocket-sitting fiasco *shudders*

After my sister saw how convenient it was, stuck it in her cargo pocket, and began contemplating about hanging up her tf101 for a N-7. Of course the rapid chain-reaction of interest snagged my fiance's parents and my mom... If only Google gave you incentives to spread the word....

As soon as I'm done with a few things, I'ma try and stick this bad boy in my pocket lol. I didn't think it'd fit but I'll test it thanks to your thread.
 
I walk around with it in my basketball short pockets all the time.
